MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverp 'ol yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,000 bales, 1,200 of which were taken on spe-
culation. The market was very quiet, and prices were
lower as] compared with Friday's rates, American *J.
to cheaper, and Brazil and Egyptian *d. Other
sorts remain without alteration.—ln Railway Shares very
little was done, and prices were a shade lower.
There is no alteration in the Corn market to-day, the
arrivals of foreign grain, however, being much larger.
The advices from abroad are not of general interest,
but we learn from Amsterdam that a fair business was
doing on Monday in Dutch Bonds, the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. being 53 7-16. Spanish Three per Cents.
were 26 13-16.
The Overland letters from India may be accounted
as favourable. Ease in the money markets of Cal-
cutta and Bombay was the prevailing feature, and some
dulness existed in trade in consequence of the holidays.
When these were over, however, it was expected that
there would be some activity. The China market was
likewise rather brisker, but it is useless to deny
that the utmost caution is requisite in order to
avoid most serious losses. The supply of fabrics at
Canton and the other ports is evidently in excess of the
demand, and there can be no satisfactory result until
this state of things is altered. Altogether our relations
political and commercial with the Celestial Empire have
by no means settled down upon the amicable and pros-
perous basis at first anticipated.
The Stock Market is in a most buoyant condition this
morning, and there is a rise of to per cent. upon the
highest quotations of yesterday. This is in the absence
of any particular news, but from the impression which
obtains that the Bank of England must afford
accommodation upon reduced terms to parties
desiring loans upon good security. In a
private way this :may very likely be done, as the Bank
can hardly expect to get its minimum charge of 3 per
cent., when facilities are elsewhere afforded at 24
to 21, but any public notification that the
said minimum is arbitrarily reduced would
probably do more harm than good. It would create
an erroneous idea of unbounded confidence and pros-
perity, foster the cotton speculation, which at present
seems to be upon the wane, and resider exports of bullion
to the Continent, where a higher rate of interest is
offered by the needy Governments, extremely
probable, despite the recent caution exhibited
by non-participation in foreign loans. These and other
evils would be the possible result, and the Bank directors,
we trust, are sensible thereof. That a small impulse,
however, is adequate to excite extravagant expectation
we may judge by past experience and by
the fact that there are said to have been
already bets offered of 5 to 1 that Consols will be
marked at par in the official list early next year. Now
would be the fitting opportunity for the railway com-
panies, could they show "a clean bill," to seek an extri-
cation from their difficulties, and profit by the plentiful
supply of cash in the renewal of their debentures;
but whether they will be enabled to do so, we can
scarcely say.
Consols have, been marked 94 and 944 for Trans-
fer, and 94* to 944 for Account, being now 94i The
New Three. and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 934
to 94, and the Three per Cents. 92i to 934. India Stock
remains at 258. Exchequer-bills are a shade lower,
being 48s. to 505., and India Bonds are 82s. premium.
A good deal of business has been done in Spanish
Bonds with the dividends of 1843 to 1848, the prices
ranging from 11/1 to 9*-. The Passive Steck is at 3i,
and the Three per Cents. have risen to 36k. Mexican
are firm at 261 to 27. Peruvian are 52. Russian have
touched 109. Dutch Four per Cents are 824 4.
Shares, though dull, appear to be rather on the turn
towards a better position.
Under the provisions of the Act 12 and 13 Vic.,
cap. 80, passed on the Ist of August last, the Legisla-
ture has disallowed tho usual per-centage upon all
stamps over 10/. in value. It has, therefore, been de-
termined by the trade generally to charge for stamps
of 121. the additional sum of 2s. 6d. The matter was
represented to, and approved by the committee of the
Stuck Exchange at their sitting on the 12th inst.
