MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, Q 1.7e1R71!:1? 70 TII i? EE.
The Cotfon-rnaileet at L'verpool was firrni'.r yester-
day, and prices of American had regained the lost on
editesday ; prices of other qualities wet e the same,
the sales tanounted to about 8.000 bales, 1,000 of which
were taken ter export, and 2.500 on speculation, end
included 6 500 American at Gad. to 7d., 100 Bahia at
61, 400 Surat at 4d. to 4:id , and GO Sca Island at 10J.
to ls. 3d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices
,eere again lower.
The Grain trade in Mark-lane is dull to-day at about
previous rates. The arrivals are moderate.
The Colonial and Foreign Produce Markets have
been moderately active this week, en l prices, on the
whole, are fairly sustained. Cotton and Coffee are the
'avourite articles still, but at a slight reduction. A good
44.91 has likewise been dune in Sugar. Rice has had a
fair sale.
kite following interesting information as to the condi-
ion of Jamaica has come to hand by a recent arrival:—
" There exists, notwithstanding all that has been said
And written on the subject, a manifest unwillingness on
tee part of our agricultural community to commence the
cultivation of any other articles than those formerly
cultivated in this island. Many we know are
srevented from attempting anything new or
novel, and obliged to continue a particular
eouree. Others are unacquainted with the mode of cul-
tivation necessary for the production of articles not
,dtherto produced in this island, and a third party is
careless and negligent about the matter. It all were
contented with things us they are, and getting on
smoothly, we should not be surprised at this unwilling
ness to turn attention to anything else. We hear
complaints, however, from every quarter, and from all
classes ; and loud and constant us: are these, we can
liscover no attempt to introduce new commodities, or
to improve upon old methods of cultivating. Our re-
marks apply more particularly to the small settlers
and resident proprietors. There is no attempt being
inside by these to depart from the system which
existed half a century ago, and none by the better
informed portion of the community to instruct or
inform them. Hence, in an island possessing great
natural advantages, we perceive few, if any, evidences
of advancement or progress. The cultivation of the
great staples has• fallen off, and numerous properties
nave heeu thrown up. We see this, but we do not per-
ceive that any other exportable articles are being added to
the list of productions, or that preparation is making
for supplying ourselves with a number of articles that
are now imported into the island. Nor can we believe
that there is any unwillingness on the part of the owners
or occupiers of land to turn their attention to other
matters likely to prove advantageous. No one offers to
inform them how to produce other commodities. No
one, indeed, cotidescends to point out the advantage
to result from their making attempts that way. Left to
themselves, the people can only be expected to pur,ue
the old course, and to do what they have been accus-
tomed to. In the absence of intelligent parties, who
have the time and the disposition to instruct and
improve them, the Legislature is called upon
to make some effort for that purpose. We
hear that our population is retrograding, and
witness the absence of improvement iu the mode of
cultivating the land, and in the appearance and comfort
of the habitations. But there is nothing surprising in
this, when it is remembered that no efforts are being
made, no means used to inform the people or to elevate
or to improve their tastes. The next genera-
tion will Le no better than the present. Improvement
is., indeed, out of the question. There is little hope for
the island if souse means are not adopted at once to
increase the artificial wants, and stimulate the industry
of the masses, and also to teach them new modes of ap-
plying that industry, and realising the means of satisfy
ing these wants."
This candid statement from a local correspondent
strongly confirms all that we have stated on various oc-
casions as to the supineness induced in our colonial pes-
eessions by the protection system. And was it nut until
recently, almost as bad at home. -
The Continental markets' stocks had continued
buoyant up to the date of the letters received here this
morning.
The English Stock Market has been very flat again
this mII nieg, and extremely inactive, presenting still, in
this respect, a very marked coral est to the Continentat
natkets. Censols have been 92ii 1 for both Transfer
reed Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 93i- 1, and the Three per Ones.
921 Exchequer-bills have been 40s. to 435, and
ludia Bands 725. premium. The foreign news dues not
exercise any particular ieflacece on the market.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet likewise.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 18*. and
Portuguese Feur per Cents. 27. Mexican Jones have
teen quoted 27 to 28. • The tortnght's account is being
adjusted, and passes on without the slightest difficulty,
so little has been doing recently. Russian Bonds hayt
risen again, being 109, and Dwelt Two-arid-a-Half per
Cents. have been buoyant at 531 is
R-iilway Shares have been very depressed again.
Great Western are nearly-21. worse. Eastern Counties
have fallen f ; Caledonian, 1 to i ; North Western, 3 to
4 ; and 'Yee k and North Midland, ;.o 1. Brighton are:
much the same, and Midland keep up. South Wale,
havii be; n done at 13 to 1, and so far yesterday':
meeting seems to have done some good. In Foreige
Shares there havo bean but ono or two bargains. Ti
account for the marked depression in Shares, we ma)
may observe that there is an increased anxiety among
the speculators to close accounts and leave town, an
the public not operating just now, the Bears are om-
nipotent.
