MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was more business doing in Cotton at Liverpool
on Saturday, at previous rates. The sties, including
1.200 for export, were nearly 6,000 bale, and include
4000 American, at 4i-d. to 42d.; 150 Egyptian, at 58d.
to bid ; 1,000 Surat at 311 to 43.; and 60 Sea Island,
at 10id. to lid. per lb.—Railway Shares further ckclined,
and very little business was done.
The Corn Market is heavy to-day, and there is no
Positive change in price.
Among te reent arrivals of ec are seventy-se van
boxes of treahsurec from Canton for the Oriental Bank.
The arrival of the Overland Mail from India is rather
anxiously looked for, and we find that the prevalent
feeling is, that we shall have favourable intelligence.
The disposition of Louis Napoleon to cultivate friendly
relations with England,affords the best possible guarantee
for the peace of Europe, and if only seconded by the
notion at large, the ambition or recklessness of other
states may be fairly set at defiance. We have great
Pleasure, therefore, in hearing of repeated instances of
kindly feeling manifested by the President towards
I:nglish merchants and others with whom he was per-
sonally acquainted when here. It is stated that Mr.
Bates, of the firm of Baring Brothers, has received a
very pressing invitation.
We see nothing in the foreign accounts that materially
thanges the impression excited by the information re-
ceived last week, viz., that affairs on the continent are in
a most uncertain state, and
.that although there may be
a favourable issue to the existing difficulties, it is quite
Uncertain what will be the result.
The Belgian mail brings intelligence that the States
General had officially intimated that the Prince of
Orange would be likely to succeed the late King on the
throne of Holland, although it is known that his Ro3 al
highness has evinced no desire to reign. A letter re-
ceived at Brussels even states that the Prince will be
requested to abdicate in favour of his son.
The English Stock Market is exceedingly dull, and
there has not been any speculation going on. A little
Money stock was bought soon after the commence-
ment of business, by one or two influential brokers, and
this gave a little firmness, the rates being 901 t for
-uransfer, and 904 i for Time. There has been a decline
since, however, and 902 f are the present values. Ex-
Chequer-bills at lid. are quoted 365. to 395. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been rather fluctuating.
Mexican Bonds have realised 28 to 28+; Peruvian have
