NIONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
inatE d at 6 000 Snit s, 1.000 of which were taken on spe-
culatiora The transeeeieti s comprised 4,000 American;
250 Pernarn and Meranbam at 60. to Gicl.; 400 Bahia
at 6.1. !. 6,11.; 80 Egypuen at 7d. to 71d.; 1,000 Surat
at to 5J.; and 60 Sea Island at ls. to Is. 2d. per lb.
The market closed tamely.—Railway shares were rather
firm. 1
The sales announced to take place in the Colonial
markets this week are tolerab'y numerous.
Notice has been given by tSe Aemirslty that a steam-
vessel has been sent out to aid vessels homeward bound
that may be detained.
The late rise in the London Tallow market had a (roa 5,
decided effect on the St. Petersburgh prices. On aid
den the orders on hand, so long passive, all at once', s
came active, and the price advanced from 107 roes',
which there had been no buyers, to 150 ro., at whiel,
there were no sellers ; this state of things was, ho 4.
ever, as transitory as the rise in the London market, and
the price has receded to 110 to 108 ro., buyers with-
drawing, and sellers following. There is no new fea-
ture in the Tallow arriving, or expected, from other
place than St. Petersburgh. Very little is coming, or
expected, from Odessa or Taganrog, but the continuous
imports from Australia and South America are
of the sane character us mentioned in my
last circular ; and as there are very large
I hebdomadal sales of these sorts, the demand for
Russia is comparatively small. The home supply is
still large; and the fine weather, and large supply of
fodder, combined with the low price, and large coneurep-
lien of meat, warrant the conclusion that it will continue
so for :he next tew months.
Our trade with that portion of South America over
which the Dictator of Buenos Aires is enabled to
exercise the least control, is, it would seem, to
be subject to constant and most vexatious interrup-
tion. The last instance concerns Paraguay, against
which Roses has recommenced hostilities, and it would
be difficult to say when he may allow them to
cease. In the meantime, however, no vessels
are allowed to go from Buenos Ayres to Paraguay,
and we presume that this is tantamount to a prohibition
of the intercourse between Europe and the latter state,
and that our Government acquiesces. The trade
of Europe with South America could have
been developed to ten times the present
amount, but for the exclusive policy of the iron-handed
Roses and his extraordinary success in bolding his
ground at various times against nations, compared to
which his own country is in power utterly insignificant.
The Hamburgh mad brings advices of Friday. There
was a demand fur bills at short dates on London; money
was abundant, stocks were firm, and a large business
was dune in shares at advancing prices.
It is mentioned in accounts from Vienna that the
statutes of the Austrian Bank are likely to be altered,
and an adjustment of the heavy amount due from
Governm Atit is ex p, card to be effected by the
exertions of the Minister of Finance. There has
already been a p )rtion of the new loan applied to the
purpose, and the Piedmont instalment is seid to have
been all handed over, reducing thereby the sum ac-
tually due to 135,000,000 florins.
Not much was done in the funds at Amsterdam,
on Sunday, but the market had a firm tone. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 53k, and Spanish Three
per Cents. 26i.
The Caledonia steamer, from the United States brings
later news again, and upon commercial affairs it is sa-
tisfactory. Money was plentiful. Cotton had rather a
clsoeping tendency, owing to the advices received from
Ecgland, but it is still asserted that the crop will prove
indifferent. Corn was quiet. Freights were very low,
and the transactions were limited.
The English Stock market has been firm, but there
is an absence of speculative dealings, and the money
purchaeee are not of magnitude. Owing to the
French Ministerial complication, and a revival of the
rumours as to the uncertainty of a speedy settlement of
the Turkish question, there has, within the last two or
three days, teen a leaning again towards temporary
investments in the unfunded debt, and hence we have
an advance in the premium on Excise quer-bills. to 455.
and 48:. India Bonds have been 823. premium. Bank
Stock is worth 197 k, and India Stock has ranged fie:pm
255 to 258. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 92-a to.
In the Foreign evlarket business is entirely neglected.
Mexican Bonds have been done at 25i and 26, and Brae, Ilan
old at 834. All the rest are nominal—Spanish Three
per Cents. at 34i to 35; Portuguese Four per Cents., at
33 to 34; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 53
to 54.
Railway Shares are very dull, and Caledonian and
North Stafford are lower. The other lines generally the
same, but Brighton rather higher.
