CITY, Q 11.4 ?':TER TO
The Cotton Mai ket at Liverpo4,l 341,-t ?rd wa,
steady, and rather firmer. Sales, 2,500 hales. Rail
way Shares, however, there was no improvement, the
pressure for money being as decided as ever.
The steamer from America is anxiously looked for.
There is a report of another mercantile suspension in
the East India trade, but the amount probably will not
be very heavy. If correct, we may b. enabled to con-
firm it later in the day.
Knapp's Abingdon Bank has suspended.
Some prospect would exist of an improvement in the
general state of affairs if we could satisfy those who
have funds at command that there is reason to hope that
the worst is over. Few, however, will venture to loan
their capital, and we must say that in refusing aid upon
undeniable security, there is something like usury ap-
parent, and a desire to make the most of the crisis.
Many of our traders are most substantial in their re-
sources, and should not be so remorselessly treated.
We have heard of one graphic illustration of
that independance which conscious security imparts, an
individual having declined to take up bills not due,
which he had discounted at the Bank of England, al•
though the penalty has been the stoppage of his account.
Tho practice, in these times especially, is one to be
greatly reprobated, and resistance thereto becomes a
virtue.

LER.tr:l:

The accounts from the provinces differ but little from
those already come to hand. The most favourable we
have seen are from Glasgow, where money seems com-
paratively easy. In the provinces matters would soon
improve were the impulse given.
The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company had a very
favourable meeting yesterday, and declared a dividend
of 11. 15s. per share, notwithstanding the outlay of
40,0001. in the purchase and repair of the Great Western
and the completion of the new steamer Conway. After
all its reverses, this company appears to be getting round
excellently, though mainly relying upon the Government
contract. The report of the directors states :
" Referring on the other hand to the receipts from pas-
sengers and freight, the proprietors will be gratified to
oiperve that there is an increase under every head, ex-
cept homeward freight, the falling off in which has been
already accounted for. The measures adopted to pro-
mote the transit across the Isthmus of Panama are
gradually producing the desired effect. Since the end of
March last, many passengers have passed by that route,
and there have been shipments of specie by each packet,
the amount of which seems steadily on the increase."
The Funds are weak still, though they have exhibited
a slight tendency upwards during the morning. The
settlement of the Account exercises most influence upon
prices, and besides one or two failures in the Stock Ex-
change, there have been " suspensions" among the small
fry of speculators out of doors. Consols have been up
to 81i, and are since 80i to 81 fur Transfer. Time bar-
gains have been effected at 811 to 821. Exchequer-bills
have realised 15s. to 255. discount. Bank Stock is at
178 to 182.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been 25i to 26k;

Mexican 171 to Portuguese Four per Cents. 20 to
