MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEIVS.
CITY, QUAR7 ER TO THREE.
There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales at
full prices, viz.:-6,000 American at 3id. to 61(1.; 100
Eg) ptian at sid. to 'lid; 400 Surat at 3d. to 30; and
100 Sea Island at Sid. to ls. id. per lb.—Railway Shares
were dull, and at rather lower quotations.
A moderate business has been done in Grain to-day at
about previous rates.
The express in anticipation of the Overland Mail from
India has arrived, but the letters are not delivered. The
political and commercial accounts are both favourable, as
tar as the latter can yet be ascertained.
The West India mail has also arrived, but furnishes
nothing of importance. The general condition of the
different islands was about the same as for some time
past, or perhaps rather better, a less desponding feeling
existing. The importance of having a steady residen-
tiary proprietary, willing to live moderately, and to look
after their own affairs, begins to be recognized as indis-
pensable in Jamaica, where great fortunes are no longer
to be made, and the same view will apply to the other co-
lonies. The application of the advances agreed to be made
by the Home Government is likely, in some cases, to be
diverted from the original object, the promotion of im
migration, but the different legislatures are probably the
best judges of the means calculated to raise the prospe-
rity of their respective countries, and in no instance can
the 1 an be appropriated without the sanction of the
Herne Government. St. Kitts wishes to establish a
Central Sugar Factory, St. Vincents is in want of a
Bank, &c.
From Grey Town, Musquito country, advices of April
26 inform us that everything was tranquil. The port,
and more than half the river St. John, were under Bri-
tish control, and the fast increasing importance of Grey
Town are noted as evidences of Lord Palmerston's saga-
city in maintaining the Musquito King. A communica-
tion across the isthmus will, it is hoped, be accomplished
by this route.
The Express packet brings the Brazil mail of 30th
April. The exchange on London was 26d., and Six per
Cent. Stock was at 851. The produce markets were
brisk, and the money market was easy. The customs
receipts at Rio were much larger than at the correspond-
ing date of la.t year.
In Peru all was tranquil, but Bolivia is still dis-
turbed. The Californian accounts are as promising
as ever.
Buenos Ayres papers of March 17 have come to hand.
There were 173 vessels in port of 36,669 tons. The
exchange in England was 68s. per oz. The freight for
tallow was 60s. per 2,240 lbs., and for bale goods 30s. to
355. per 40 feet. There was a strong feeling at Buenos
Ayres that all difficulties with England were about to be
adjusted.
The reports of the Continental Money Markets state
that at Frankfort prices were firm. The Five
per Cents. 73i on the Ist inst. The Berlin market on
the 31st ult. was quiet. At Amsterdam yesterday not
much was done. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 484.
The formation of a new Ministry at Paris, and the
comparatively acceptable nature of the German consti-
tution, have, in conjunction with the fine weather, the
arrival of a large amount of specie per West India mail,
the good news from the East Indies, and the favourable
state of the manufacturing markets, have all had
an influence upon the Stock Market, and the improve.
ment in Consols is to I per cent., viz., to 9214,
though since the Bears have sold a little upon the
ground that the Russian fleet is intended to assist the
Danes. The New Tbree•and-a-Quarter per Cents. re-
alised 91/ to 1. Bank Stock is worth 195, and India
Stock 250 to 252. Exchequer-bills have been 455. to 485.,
and India Bonds 675. to 70s. premium.
The Foreign Securities are rather firmer, though
dull. The West India packets brings no Mexican mail.
The Five per Cent. Bonds, ex-coupons, have been done
at 27i to 28. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 17 to
17/. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 26 to 28.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 76/, and French Five per
Cents. have been 83, with the Exchange at 25 35.
The Railway Share Market is looking more buoyant,
and a good business has been transacted in the principal
lines. The French shares are also better, but, except in
Northern of France, not much has been done.
