MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was more business doing in Cotton at Liverpool
on Saturday, at proviout rates. The sales, including
1,200 for export, were nearly 6,000 bales, and include
4,000 American, at 40. to -IV.; 150 Egyptian, at 51d.
to girl ; 1,000 Surat, at 31-1. to 41.; and 60 Sea Island,
at lU d,to 11d. per lb.—Railway Shares further &celled,
and very little business was done.
The Corn Market is heavy today, and there is no
Positive change in price.
Aon the reent arrivals of speci are seventy-se von
uoees m g
of treasure from Canton for thee Oriental Bank.
The arrival of the Overland Mail from India is rather
anxiously looked for, and we find that the prevalent
feeling is, that we shall have favourable intelligence.
The disposition of Louis Napoleon to cultivate Friendly
relations with England,ailbrds the best possible guarantee
for the peace of Europe, and if only seconded by the
nation at large, the ambition or recklessness of -other
states may be fairly set at defiance. We have great
Leasure, therefore, in hearing of repeated instances of
indly feeling manitested by the President towards
English merchants and others with whom he was per-
-80„ nally acquainted when here. It is stated that Mr.
zates, of the firm of Baring Brothers, has received a
very pressing invitation.
We see nothing in the foreign accounts that materially
change, the impression excited by the information re-
ceived last week, viz., that affairs on the continent are in
a most uncertain state, and
.that although there may be
favourable issue to the existing difficulties, it is quite
'uncertain what will be the result.
The Belgian mail brings intelligence that the States
General had officially intimated that the Prince of
Orange would be likely to succeed the late King on the
throne of Holland, although it is known that his Royal
Ilighness has evinced no desire to reign. A letter te-
eeived at Brussels even states that the Prince will be
requested to abdicate in favour of his son.
The English Stock Market is exceedingly dull, and
there has not been any speculation going on. A little
money stock was bought soon after the commence-
ment of business, by one or two influential brokers, and
Transfer, a little firmness, the rates being 901 for
and 90;1 for Time. There has been a decline
sier'oe, however, and 901 1 are the present values. Ex-
chequer-bills at lid. are quoted 365. to 395. premium.
...The Foreign Securities have been rather fluctuating.
Mexican Bonds have realised 28 to 281-; Peruvian have
maintained the high value of 58i to 59N. Buenos
Ayres Bonds are supported at 31 to 32. Brazil Stock
realised 82 for the " Small." Danish Old Three per
Cent. Bonds have been quoted 69i. French Three per
Cent. Rentes have been 53f. 75e., with the exchange
at 25f. 20e. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
47 to t. Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds have not been
higher than lei 1, and the Three per Cents. have
realised 28f to 29.
The Railway Share Market is dull, and prices are
generally rather lower.-
