MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
doll, the sales being estimated at only 1,000 bales, in-
cluding 100 Brazil, 50 Egyptian, and 150 Surat. Prices
remained without alteration. Railway Shares were
rather firmer.
In Mark-lane business this morning is excessively
dull, with large arrivals of foreign.
The murkiness of the atmosphere has interfered with
business in the produce and general markets.
This morning Mr. Turquand, of the Bankruptcy
Court, died suddenly, and, as we hear, on his way to
business.
The Continental advices state that at Amsterdam, on
Monday, Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. were 53 9-16
to ft, with a good business doing. Spanish Three per
Cents. were 27 7-16. Portuguese Bonds were again in
request. At Vienna, on the 23d inst., Austrian Bonds
were 93+, the exchange on London being 10.57.
The determination of the English sharebolders in the
Sambre and Meuse Railway Company to suspend the
working of the line after the Ist of next month, owing to
the illiberal policy of King Leopold's Government, said,
indeed, to be in violation of the original contract, appears,
as well it may, to have occasioned no small consterna-
tion among the working classes, the ironmasters, and
the owners of other industrial establishments around
Phillipville. The Minister of Public Works, it is like-
, wine stated, was endeavouring to prevent the closing of
the line, but had not been successful; and a deputation
of the proprietors of mines had waited upon him with
representations and proposals which it was hoped would
lead to some arrangement. The English shareholders
in these foreign railways must have learned by experi-
ence long ere this, that those undertakings will not by
any means realise the expectations formed of
them, and, as far as the Belgian Government is
concerned, that very little encouragement -is offered
to them to embark in further undertakings.
Even if the letter of the law were with the Government,
we should have thought that in this, as in private deal-
ings, a liberal policy, in accordance with the altered and
adverse circumstances of the case, would have been most
politic as well as just.
The steamer New World, from the United States,
brings later accounts, but no news of importance. Money
matters were easy.
The West India Mail furnishes advices which; in some
respects, may be deemed more satisfactory. In Jamaica,
however, the difficulty concerning the Import Duty Bill
canhardly be said to have been surmounted, although the
Assembly was endeavouring to make a provision to meet
the case, so that vessels arriving during the interreg-
num, and before a new Act could be passed, might not
have their cargoes landed duty free, to the prejudice of
those having stocks on hand. In Demerara and other
possessions there was a more satisfactory feeling, but not
amounting to confidence, and it is evident that the
colonists at large must discard Lull party spirit and
work ardently under the new regime, if they desire not
to sink still lower in prosperity.
The English Stock Musket has not been quite so
good owing to a few sales made upon the supposition
that there may yet be an unpleasant feeling between
Austria and Russia upon the subject of the proposed
political union in Germany with the latter power at its
head, and to the exclusion of the former. Consols have
been 951 I, and are now 95* +. Exchequer-bills have
not bet n higher than 445. to 48s. premium. Bank Stock
is firm a: 200, and India Stock at 261. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 941 to
In Foreign Securities there is no particular move-
ment.
The remittance from Mexico for the dividends has
not made the stock better, which may arise from the
state of the account; but it is rumoured that a large
anioun", possibly the collection from the tobacco duties,
is likely to come by the next packet. Certainly there is
a good sum accruing. but when it will be forwarded we
cannot pretend to say, and will depend partly perhaps
on the vigilance of the bondholders here. The prices
have been 26k to 27+. Spanish Three per Cents. are
worth 37i, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 35 to *
Danish Bonds are 72+. Belgian Four-and-a Half per
Cents. are worth 86* to 87.
Railway Shares are much the same, but Brighton are
not quite so good, nor Great Western and one or two
othrrs. The foreign lines are somewhat heavy.
