MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 6,000
bales, and comprised 5,000 American from 31,4 d. to 51 "d.,
Pernam from 4%d. to 51/Bd, 250 Egyptian from 51Ad. to
714 d., 400 Surat from 3d. to 34d., and 50 Sea island from
Bd. to 81,4 d. The market closed firmly. The Share Market
was not quite so active, but prices were pretty firm.
The Continental arrivals are limited, and the intelligence
they bring is chiefly of political importance. From France
the accounts are favourably interpreted.
It appears by the East India letters that business via
hardly in so favourable a state either at Calcutta or Bombay
as regards exports. but we hear no particular complaints on
this lead. The imports into Calcutta continued steady, but
there was some falling off at Bombay. It is to this point we
must look most especially, viz., the due regulation of the
supplies.
The Grain trade is steadier here to-day, and by telegraph
we learn that prices were rising in some of the provincial
markets. We do not anticipate, however, any decided alte-
ration in prices for the present.
The debates which took place in Parliament last night
upon the subject of the Royal Speech have naturally at-
tracted much observation, some parties apprehending
considerable excitement and animated discussions af-
fect to take a less favourable view of matter,
than they did a few days since, but, in truth,
we see no real change in our position. We are pro-
mised retrenchment and modification of the navigation-
laws, and at this the Protectionist Members will naturally
exclaim, but there is no more reason to doubt of the molt
than of the justice of the proposals.
The Peruvian Debt arrangement has been effeett4
and upon the same terms substantially as were
stated at the last meeting. The original loans
will be converted into bonds bearing 4 per cent. from
April next, and to increase 14 per cent. annually until
they reach 6 per cent. The arrears of interest will be formed
into a stock at 75 upon the amount, bearing I per cent.
per annum of interest from April, 1852, to increase per
cent. annually, instead of 14, as first proposed, until they
reach 3 per cent. From April, 1853, an amortization fund
will be firmed, of not less than 1 per cent. annually for the
redemption of the bonds representing the original loans, and
from April, 1856, not less than 14 per cent. annually will be
set apart for the amortization of the deferred stock.
The bonds now created will be admitted in Peru for their
principal sum in payment of all Peruvian national properties
and customs duties, on the terms now granted, or which may
be granted to the bonds of the internal debt. The foreign
bons may be converted into bonds of the internal debt, and
yet enjoy equal rights of redemption with the bonds
circulated in London, the terms to be 550 dollars for every
1001. The moiety of the net proceeds of the Guano sent to
the United Kingdom will be applied to the dividends, de-
ducting shipping charges and commission, and the house
taking the contract will pay over sufficient for the divi-
dends fourteen days before they fall due. Any surplus will
be applied to the Sinking Fund. The Government appoints
the agents in England for the conversion and the dividend
payments. All the revenues of Peru are answerable to the
payment of the interest on the debt.
