uoNEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was less excitem net in th s Liverpool Cotton
Market yesterday, the rates being small compared with
lest week, bring eitituatel at about 8,000 bales, includ-
ing 6,000 American, 800 Pernam and Maraham at 6-11.
71-d., 209 Bahia, at 641, 200 Egyptian at 7d. to 74d.,
And 560 Surat at 411 to 4-a3. per lb.—For Railway
Shares there was a good demand at higher prices.
The Corn Market is steady to-day.
The Colonial Produce markets this week have been
well supplied, and prices have moved but little. Sugar
is tolerably firm, because holders evince discretion.
Coffee, after being fiat, has rallied a little. Indigo has
gone off well, and Tea lower. Tallow is dull again.
The intelligence received yesterday afternoon from
the United States has proved discouraging to the spe-
culators in cotton, and it is to be hoped in the interest
of our manufactures that we may yet have
further intelligence that will relieve our manu-
facturers and spinners from the serious disad-
vantage under which they now labour. There
can be no doubt that parties suffer very grievously from
the rapid advance in the raw staple, and that to this
circumstance is to be attributed the many failures
that have occurred within the last few days.
Should the frost hold off in the cotton- growing
districts, the prospects may yet amend, and that this
impression prevails here, wo have excellent proof by
the sudden fall in prices at Liverpool yesterday, as
above noted, and the quietude of the cotton market on
the other side of the Atlantic.
Notwithstanding the abundance of money in America
it is remarked that " quotations for most securities
have, within the past month, fallen off several per cent.;
and that Government and State stocks have depreciated
more rapidly than the stocks of incorporated companies.
The tendency of prices is still downward, and we have
no doubt a full of several per cent. will, within the next
ninety days, be realised. The fact is, that most of our
sound, safe, dividend-paying Government securities even
now range too high, and the demand for money in the
channels of commerce is sufficient to attract capital from
stock investments of all kinds."
We find in the Mexican accounts of the 16'h ult.,
from Vera Cruz, that the Chamber of Deputies had
terminated the discussion of the new tariff, and that
the Commission charged with the regulation of the
debt was expected almost immediately to present its
report which, it was said, would recommend the pay-
ment of half the arrears of interest, and the conversion
of the rest into a three per cent. stock.
By an arrival from Rio de Janeiro we have advices
of August 22. The rate of exchange for bills on London
was 26d., and there was not much doing. The Six per
Cent. Stock was at 874. Freights to Liverpool nominal,
and to London 455. Not much was doing in Coffee.
In the provinces all was quiet.
Late intelligence had been received at /I, io from Buenos
Ayres and Monte Video, but we do not learn that anything
important had occurred at either place. Business was
dull at Buenos Ayres. The Spider bad arrived out with
dispatches from England.
From the Continent the advices received this morn-
ing are again rather conflicting, although the Ministry
at Paris seems to have patched up its disagreement for
the present.
The English Stock Market has not fluctuated much
to-day, and looks rather firmer, being favourably
affected by the completion of the Cons d settlement,
and the improvement in the leentes at Paris. Console
have been 91,1 -7-4 for Time, and 91i to 92 for Account,
and are now 91/L and 911 Exchequer-bills have
continued at 445. to 475. premium. Bank Stock has
been marked 1971 to 1981 The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 91:I to 92.
Business in the Foreign Mat ket has been very limited.
Spanish Five per Cents. are heavy, at 15i- to 16. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 33i 4. Mexi-
can are 264. being a shade higher. Peruvian Bonds
have been 53i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
nominally 531- to a.
The Railway Share Market is tolerably well supported,
and there is much less excitement in it. North-Western
are very firm, and the others arc much the same.
