KONEY and COMMERCIAL .NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 7'o THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy.
Sales 4,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation.
The value of American was quoted %d. per lb. lower, and of
Brazil and Surat 'Ad. per lb. lower than last week. There
were 2,500 bales American sold at 6 lAd. to 71,id. per lb., and
Surat realised 4d. to 41,4(.1 per lb. In Railway Shares there
was nothing new. Business was still dull, the heavy shares,
however, being best supported.
The Overland Mail brings advices of a favourable com-
plexion in some respects, but not such as arc calculated to
encourage the expectation that the Eastern Markets will offer
yet, for some time to come, an opening for increased imports
of manufactures. The pacific policy of Lord Hardinge,
should events favour its development, may do much to
create a more extended, permanent, and less fluctuating demand; but it is to railways all are looking for the grand
impetus to civilization and prosperity. The Honourable East.
India Company had almost drawn to the full extent et
the three Presidencies of its intended remittances for the
financial year ending April, and the exchange, consequently,
was on the advance. Although shippers from England take
care to send forward excessive supplies of goods, the exports
of produce from India are large, and the frequent wars have
caused a greater local expenditure, and diminished the sur-
plus revenue available for remittance to England.
By the Overland Mail we have acounts from South Aus-
tralia of January 14th. The colony seemed to be prosperous,
and mining industry was prosecuted with considerable vigour
and spirit.
Van Diemen's Land dates of Jan. 6, notice the festivities of
Christmas as having been observed with as much ardour as
in England, although the heat was at eighty degrees. Ac-
cording to an estimate just made, it appears that the annual
rentals for houses in liobart Town amount to 96,400/.
The Funds have been decidedly worse to-day, and it
appears that money stock has been suddenly pressed on
the market, for we have a decline from 87, the first
price this morning, to 86%. Time bargains are effected at
a reduction to 86% %. Exchequer•bills have been quoted
2s. discount to par. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 88 to 87%; and the Three per Cents., 86 to 85%.
Bank Stock is worth 193 to 194.
The Foreign Bonds have been dull. Spanish Three per
Cents. are 35% : and this has been the only bargain in Pen-
insular Securities. Mexican Bonds are at 2034 ; Grenada,
at 20; and Chilian, at 91. French Five per Cent. Rentes
are 115, with the Exchange at 25:65.
Railway Shares have been depressed in value, and sales
are more difficult.
We learn from Birmingham that the utmost activity pre-
vails in various quarters of the town in prosecuting the works
of the Stour Valley line of railway. From the shaft sunk at
the old wharf, the tunnel extends to King Alfred's-place;
and in the grounds of Bingley House, so long the residence
of the Lloyds, the lease of which is bought by the company,
another shaft is now being sunk; whilst considerable pro-
gress has been made from Tindall-bridge in excavating a
line of communication towards Biugley House. In Sumner-
street and Hill-street an extensive gap has been made by
the taking down of several houses; and in Navigation-street,
Pinfold-street, and the vicinity, so many houses are vacated,
that it is said nearly two hundred families have been forced
to remove, causing a complete stagnation to the business of
the small shopkeepers round about. It is stated that within
a month no less than 1,400 men, in addition to those already
employed by the two railway companies, will be put to work
in Birmingham.
