CITY. QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday. The sales were 7,000 bales, and included
6,000 American, 200 Egyptian at fild. to 7d., 400 Surat
at 41 I. to 4.0., and 70 Sea Island at 1141. to Is. 21 per
113,—Railway Shares were dull, with but little business
dui ng.
In Mark-lane to day the grain trade has been dull and
at lower rates.
Numerous foreign mails will be dispatched from Dm-
don this week, including letter bags for the Brazils,
Madeira, Sierra Leone, and the Cape de Verde Islands,
Valparaiso, the United States, i.e.
The reports of the Stock Nlarkets abroad give the
latest quotation of Austrian Bonds at Frankfort at 84i,
and of the Metalliques at Vienna at 934. The Prussian
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at Berlin were 874. The
Amsterdam market was brisk for Dutch Two-and-a
Ralf per Cents, at 53 15-16.
The steamer from America is telegraphed as having
arrived off Liverpool this morning, but her letters are
not expected in town until to-morrow.
The continental advices have been received in due
course. At liamburgh, last Friday, the rate of exchange
on London was steady at 13 91, and the price of gold
Was 436. There was an active demand for Bills of Ex-
change on Petersburgh; funds and shares were tolerably
firm. The general
,trade of Hamburgh appears to be
improving.
It is mentioned as a subject of complaint, in accounts
from St. Petersburgh, that not only English but likewise
other ships for the North Sea, were becoming continually
scarcer, and that freights were daily rising in consequence.
Nevertheless, all articles of produce maintained their
value very fairly.
The Lombardian Government has announced a re-
duction in the duty upon wine imported. It may be
remembered that this was raised in April, 1846.
A statement of the foreign commerce of Belgium
during the first seven months of 1849, shows compari-
tively with the Lite period of 1848, a decline in various
articles imported, wool, tobacco, cotton, and silk fabrics,
being, however, an exception. The exports generally
Were larger.
At the thirteenth annual general meeting of the
Coventry Union Banking Company the report of the
directors and the balance sheet of the affairs to the 30th
of June last were read, and the proprietors expressed
their full satisfaction at the progress of the bank. The
an balance of profit for the year was about 3,8001.,
which, after paying a dividend of five per cent., left a
surplus of nearly 2,0001.
There has been a better market for the English Se-
curities, and with some increase of money business.
Consols have realised 92t- to .1- for Transfer to-morrow,
and 921 f for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 934 g, and the Three per Cents.
921 4. Bank Stock is worm 199 to 1991, being firmer.
Exchequer-bills have been marked 395. to 425. premium,
and India Bonds 755. premium. There is no news this
Morning calculated to act on prices.
The Foreign Securities are for the most part at rather
full prices, although very little is doing. Portuguese
Old Five per Cents. have been 8 but these, we believe,
are guaranteed by Brazil. Spanish Three per Cent.
Stock has been 34i, and the Five per Cent. 181 to
Mexican Bonds have been 28 to k, and Peruvian have
touched 55 and 5:4, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have realised 54 to 54k.
The Share Market is extremely heavy again for all
the principal Railways, and sales can only be effected at
farther reduced rates.
