MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
crry ip7-ER
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
5 000 bales, of which 1 000 were for expert. The
market was firm and closed with animation. The Ame-
rican kinds at 4id. to 42d. having recovered the depres •
sion they were under. The import since Friday last is
50,000 bales. The receipts are now falling off, but not
to the extent calculated. Railway Shares were heavy at
rat her lower prices.
The letters by the America steamer from the 'United
States and Canada were delivered yesterday afternoon.
In reference to the commerce of New York, it is stated
that, "compared with 1846 there has been a falling off
every year since ; but, compared with last year, there
has been an increase in the last week this
year of 830,930 dollars in the importaticn of
merchandise, and of 48,469 dollars in the importation
of specie. The drafts on the assistant treasurer of this
port for the week ending the 17th instant emount to
246,284,17 d dlars, showing an increase in de-
posits for the week of 462,104 dollars. The
amount on deposits in the hands of the as-
sistant-treasurer at the close of business yes-
terday, was 2,173,000 dollars. It will be seen by this
that the deposits are rapidly increasing, and that the
amount all eddy en band falls but little short of
that previous to the payment of the in-
stalment on account of the Mexican in-
demnity. The new Secretary of the Treasury
has nut distributed the public fpnde as ra-
pidly as anticipated, and the only hope now is in the
reduction in the importations, and through
that a depletion of the treasury. The season
has become pretty well advanced, so far as
importations for the spring trade are concerned,
and the probability is, that the bulk of foreign goods
suitable fur this trade has been received. As soon as
the imports fall off, the deposits will be reduced fast
enough to satisfy the most bitter opponent of the system;
but we fear this will fail to produce the relief antici
pated Irma such a movement."
The Ostend mail just arrived, informs us that at the
Bourse at Amsterdam there was less doing on Monday,
the Dutch stocks being somewhat lower, owing to sales
for account. Spanish and Portuguese were much the
same; Mexican was rather lower, and Peruvian was in
request.
Prince Henry of the Netherlands, is to have the duty
of announcing to Queen Victoria, the death of the late
King, and will at the same time return the insignia of
the English orders. The Prince, it is said, will be ap-
pointed Minister of Marine.
There is nothing very positive from Germany by this
opportunity, in reference to the Danish war, but certainly
the indications are not altogether favourable, as the
preparations on both sides continued active. The Moni-
tear I'rusaien of the Ist inst. appoints three Generals to
the command of the Prussian contingent to be sent to
Schleswig, but a satisfactory impression seems to have
been produced by the fact that the Danish Court had
been ordered to go into mourning for Prince Waldemir.
The Danubian principalities are about to be occupied,
according to the German papers, by 45,000 Turkish
troops, but on the other hand it is reported that Russia
will oppose this.
The Lisbon mail brings intelligence of a new proposi-
tion to tax home and foreign dividends.
The Madrid and Valentia dissentient shareholders are
likely, we hear, to come to an understanding with the
directors, and many' have already acquiesced.
The arrangements for the appointment of an agency
to administer the financial affairs of the Peruvian Go-
vernment are said to have all but completed.
The grain trade is very slow to day for all articles at
Monday's prices. The arrivals of foreign include 18,300
quarters of wheat, and 10,180 of oats.
The Funds have been further depressed in con-
sequence of the statement from France of au
insurrection having occurred among the troops
at Vincennes, and the apprehensions of renewed
hostilities in Denmark. As a counterpoise we
hear that the King of Prussia has refused to become
Emperor. Consols were marked 92* to 4 for Transfer
early in the morning, but are now 924 Time deal-
ings have been effected at 92f to Exchequer-bills
have realised 445. to 475. premium.
Rather unexpectedly, Messrs. Schneider and Co. have
sent a notice to the Stock Exchange of their willingness
to pay three-fourth of a half-year's dividend, that is
11. 17s. 60. per cent. This is, of course, acceptable, and
it is hoped there may soon be enough remitted, say by
June, to complete the remaining 126. 6d. The following
is a copy, and it will be seen contains other conditions:—
" New Broad-street mews, April 4, 1849
" Sir,—On the 2d instant we took leave to commu-
nicate to'you, for the information of the Committee of
Spanish American Bondholders, the receipt by us of a
sum of money on account of the dividends on the Mexi-
can Consolidated Debt.
"The fund in our hands for this purpose is still short
of the sum required for the payment of the first half-
yearly dividend on the said debt by about 27,0001.
"In order to afford to the bondholders under these
circumstances every accommodation in our power, we
have issued a notice, of which we beg to enclose to you
a copy, stating that we are ready to advance to the bond-
holders three-fourths of the amount of the said half-
yearly dividend on the deposit in our hands of the divi-
dend warrants representing the said dividend, charging
interest on such advance at the rate of four per cent.
per annum, until the date at which the payment of the
dividend may be made.
" The Committee are aware that we have to allow inte-
rest to the Mexican Government on the funds remaining
in our hands from time to time, until the dividends are
paid. We remain, &c.,
