MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAR7ER 70 7 !MEE.
There was a dull Marxet for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and prices were id. lower than on Friday last.
The sales amounted to about 3 500 bales, including 500
for exportation.—Railway shares were dull, and very
little business was doing.
There are no arrivals with later intelligence from the
colonies or distant parts, but there is almost
exclusive attention paid to the continent,( ad •
vices. Scarcely, as it seems, can any one sightly
come to a conclusion as to the quarter whence danger is
to be apprehended, fo,r if half the rumours to hand were
true, there would scarcely be any part where matters
could be said to look well. We must be collected, how-
ever, in these times, and not foster that want of confi
dence so detrimental to trade. Already the money
market is seriously agitated, and in business walks there
is a disposition to hold back until some definite news
transpires. This news an hour may bring forth.
A fair business, circumstances considered, has been
done this week in the Produce Markets, but no decided
activity can be quoted in any article except Sugar, which
well supports its value.
The rate of discount does not vary to any extent, and
there is perhaps rather less demand for money than there
was a short time back.
The Corn Market continues in a most depressed con-
dition, and sales are extremely difficult. Wheat has
ranged, for Essex white samples, from the low figure of
365. for very inferior, to 525. for the finest white.
Attention has very properly been called to a case of
considerable importance_ connected with the shares of
joint-stock companies, which, it is, perhaps, scarcely
known to one in a hundred persons, have
been held to be alternately real and at other
times personal property, a most serious state of
things to legatees and others, and one demanding a
prompt settlement.
The English Stocks have been materially influenced
by the heavy decline in the French Rentes, although our
market did not sympathise much therewith when they
were so rapidly, and as most persons thought, unduly
advancing. It is reasonable even now to infer that
the Paris Bourse gives way more in consequence
of the arrangements for the settlement, and the
heaviness of the Bull account than from any other cause,
the Italian news coming, nevertheless, in aid of the
speculators for a fall. As usual at such periods, it re-
quires great nerve to operate against the current of
opinion among the jobbers and dealers, and our own
Funds are nearly in the same position. To-day a hull ac-
count, which had been allowed to be carried over from
Tuesday last, bad to be arranged, and thus, with-
out much dealing in money stock, there has
been a further marked re-action in prices.
The future course of the market now mainly depends
upon the foreign news, and according as it reads well or
the reverse will Bulls or Bears predominate. A
slight circumstance turns the scale. Consols have
realised 90i for Transfer, and 90i to 91 for Account.
Later they have been done at 90i :I, and at 904 Ex-
chequer-bills have been marked 40.. to 425. premium.
The Foreign Market is heavier. At Amsterdam, on
Thursday, there was a decline. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 15i to 16k; and the Three per Cents 284;
Portuguese Four per et nts. have bees 264; Mexican are
284- to 274; Austrian have been 75i; Dutch Two-and-a
Half per Cents. 484 to 49k.
Railway Shares are lower, but there has not been
much doing. Among the holders of Irish Shares great
anxiety is manifested to 1,-•arn what will be the nature of
the asbbtance granted by Government; and the Dublin
and Belfast, it is again reported, will now leceive a suffi-
cient advance to bring it to cAnpletion.
