MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Pverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed firmly. The sales comprised 7,000 American. 70
Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 64d., 60 Bahia at 64d.,
800 Egyptian at 7d. to Bd., and 200 Surat at 3id. to
48d. per lb.—Railway Shares were quiet, at rather
lower prices.
Besides the arrivals of Gold from Australia noticed
in yesterday's Sun, viz., 15,465 ozs. and 50,0001., we
learn that one of Messrs. Marshall and Edridge's regu-
lar traders, the Medway, cleared at Port Philip
on the 27th of May, with 65,051 ounces on board, say
250,0001.
The letters received this morning from the Continent
are not of much interest. The Government of Belgium
will allow salt to be imported in Dutch ships from
Netherlands' ports on the same terms as if conveyed in
Belgian vessels.
The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 31st ult., was
without change, but Foreign Stocks drooped a little.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 64g.
The question of Life Assurance, and the neces-
sity of some restriction to render it safer, is discussed
in the Current number of the Banker's Magazine, and
although we think every possible encouragement should
be offered to new companies, so as to give the public the
benefit of cheapness, arising from competition, there
may be and doubtless is room for improvement in the
management of some offices.
Mr. Thomson offers the following suggestions on
these points, which are worth consideration:—
"It may be premature to attempt to suggest any
practical remedy for the existing evil ; but having ex-
pressed myself unreservedly on the present state of
things, I shall not hesitate to give my views as to such
remedy. I shall not attempt, at this time, to suggest an
entire system, but I shall note the lead;ng features of the
plan I consider essential for what as aimed at, provided
the Government take upon themselves, in any way, the
watching or superintending of such societies.
"1. That the balance-sheets of ell life assurance
companies in Great Malin be annually recorded in a
set form, not for the purpose of Ling made public, but
for the use of the Government and their auditor. That
periodical balance-sheets, having reference to valuations
or investigations, be also record:. I at certain intervals,
in such form and with such explanation as shall b 3
satisfactory to the auditor, and that them) b oFen to
the public.
"2. That an existing offices be required to pleat) a
certain limited sum in the Government funds in the
name of the registrar.
"3. That before any new society be reg"otere, such
a sum be so invested.

"4. That a thoroughly practical and judicious pro-
fessional ectualy, urconnect:d with any asst.:rine° office,
be appointed as auditor, it conjunction with the regis-
trar, with power to send for parsons and dcluaients, and
who shell be in close commu?icat;nn wit't the Tha7d of
Trade.

" 5. That the Board of Trade, after a report fA•om the
registrar and the auditpr, and such further procedure as
may be thoughtnecessary, be empowered to suspend the
operations of any society whose management is disre-
spectable or tending to solvency.
" 6. That the Joint Stock Companies Act is to be re-
vised with reference to assurance companies, or that
a special Act be pssed for their guidance.
The new Turkish loan b?ing for such a small amount,
800,0001. in a Six per Cent. Stock, and the list already
closed, will obviously bo taken up by the contractors and
their immediate friends, and already bears a high price,
being at 34 to 41 premium.
The English Stork Market has been very well sup-
ported, but there is not much doing. Some purchases
for Transfer have I -:en made at par to 100 k, and for
Time they are now 100 k to /. New Three-and-a Quarter
per Cents. have b2en taken for investment at 1041 to
f, and the Three par Centi at 1001 to 101. Bank Stock
is worth 229 to 230. The large arrivals of bullion, the
fine weather, and the satisfactory political intelligence
from abroad generally, have all contributed to buoy up
prices. Exchequer-bills of Juno have been at 715., and
India Bonds at 86s. premium.

The tone of the Foreign Marliet is good, although the
dealings have been unimportant in the aggregate. Mexi-
can have been in request at 25,i to 26i. Grenada De-
ferred have risen to 12} /), and Peruvian Deferred have
been buoyant at ( .59i to 60i. The French Government
have followed the example of England, and given public
warning that they Rill not protect their merchant ships
in getting, guano from the Lobos Islands. The
price of Chillan Stock has just been run uP,
by some purchases made, 1 to 2 per cent.,
beieg 72 to 73 for the Three per Cents. Spanish Three
per Cent. Stock is worth 491 to H, end the Deferred no-
minally about 224 to 23. Belgian Bonds have been done
at 964. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 64a to
65k, and the Foy^ per Cent . 98- to 99i.
The Railway Share Market has lam more elastic,
aid in the quotations of the prineiprl lines there is an
advance. Lancashire and Yorkshiro have risen about 24
per share, North-Western los., Great Western 10e. to
11., Midland 1/ to 1/. 105., York and North Midland 11
to 11. 53., East Lancashire 7c. 6cl. to 101., Caledonian 103.)
and Groat Northern 2! to 31. French Sham are very
quiet.
In the miscellaneous market there is some activity in
the new companies. The London Chartered Bank of
Australia have been 2 to 21-, and the Victoria Docks 41
to premium. Gold Mine Shares have been in request
at fully previous rates, especially Colonial and
Austra-
lian
Cordillera.
