MONEY and COMMERCIAL INEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
firmer, with a moderate supply. Sales, 5,000 bales.
Prices were about id. per lb. higher than on Friday
last, including 4,000 bales of American at 6d. to bid.
per lb. Surat realised 3i 1. to 4d. per lb. Railway
Shares improved, and were at advanced prices, with a
better market.
Indistinctly hinted at yesterday morning was a fact of
some importance, which later in the day b came some-
what confirmed, and led to very considerable conversa-
tion. We must take it for granted that the fact is as
stated, viz., that the rich banking firm of Jones
Loyd and Co., of Manchester, have intimated to
their customers that they are about to com-
mence a new era in the banking business
with which they are connected. The leading and
most intelligible fact communicated is, that all who are
indebted to the firm are called upon to pay the balances
against them. This is stringent, certainly, but not a
novel plan to get in old debts, as in cases of dis-
solution of partnership such a course is alvva)s
adopted. And hence it is surmised by many
that this is the real aim, so as to let the
head of the establishment get quiet to enjoy his otiunt
cunt dignitate apart from banking difficulties, with a
large fortune, and a well-earned reputation. How the
new system is to be carried on, and of what it is com-
posed, is a sacred secret at present—at least to
the public, though, in all probability the modes
operandi has been communicated to the rela-
tives and immediate friends and most worthy of their
customers. At present the affair is very much clouded
in mystery, and so we must for the present leave it.
There are not any colonial arrivals announced in the
City this morning.
We do not bear of any further failures.
A fair amount of business has been done in the
Consol Market, and at full prices, say a rise from
831 to 84i, and the Three per Cent. Consols have ob-
tained the same value. The premium upon Exchequer-
bills has advanced to 6s. discount. The small bills are
at ss. premium. Bank Stock has ruled from 184 to 187.
India Bonds under 1,0001. are at 20s. discount.
There is not any variation requiring especial no•
tice, either in the Foreign Funds or the Share Market
today.
At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs.
S. Phillips and Co., now being held, a most favourable
account of the concerns of the firm was brought forward,
which elicited general satisfaction. It is too late to enter
into details.
Advices of August 28, from the Cape of Good Hope,
state that there had been no movement against the
Kafirs, but that Sir Henry Pottinger was assembling a
arge force with the view of attacking the enemy.
Copious rains had fallen in the colony, and the crops
ooked promising.
