CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales. 3,000 bales. There was an improvement in the
Railway Share Market.
It is with regret that wo find we did an injustice to
the firm of Messrs. Whitmore and Son, of the Stock
Exchange, in stating that they had been declared as
defaulters. The party who was announced as unable to
meet his engagements was Mr. Henry Whitmore.
We trust that the highly respectable firm
first named will accept this full and entire con-
tradiction of the mischievous and unfounded assertion
referred to.
A great variety of letters and papers have come to
hand to-day from almost all the ports of New Holland,
and to late dates. Perhaps the most important item of
intelligence is the fact that Sir G. Gipps, the
Governor, had directed to be forwarded to the
authorities at Port Philip that the Home
Government had all but arranged the plans for de-
claring that vast territory as a separate colony. This
would indeed be a great boon ; and certainly from the
rising prosperity of Port Philip a right course to pur-
sue. The papers from most of the colonies speak
of a lack of labourers, and it would appear
that a fine opportunity is open for artizans
and their families to proceed in that direction
from this country. The produce of the mines in South-
Australia was yielding most abundantly.
In the Stock Exchange this is pay day,
and four or five additional defaulters have been
declared. The differences upon balances were very
heavy. Consols for the Account have fluctuated this
morning, 85,1 and 85k. For Money some sales have
been effected at 84 to 84k. The value of both is now
rather better. There has been scarcely any movement
in the Exchequer-bill Market, 2s. discount and par
being the quotations for the 1,000/. obligation. East
India Bonds are at 255. discount; Bank Stock remains
at about 187 189. The Three.and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have varied from 84i to 84, the latter having been the
opening quotation.
There has been a very quiet market for the Foreign
Investments. A further improvement has taken place
in French Five per Cents. to 115 f. 50c. Spanish Five
per Cents. have fetched 171; Mexican, 15} 16; Chilian,
90; Brazilian, 78; the Spanish Three per Cents., 29;
and the Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., 541.
The Share Market has been heavy this morning.
