THE SUN,

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1847.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull.
American sorts were id. per lb. lower. In other de-
scriptions there was no alteration. Egyptian was id.
per lb. higher. Sales, 4,000 bales. American, 6-id. to
7id., and Surat, 4id. to 51 per lb. Railway Shares
were very quiet, but steady and firm.
The arrivals of grain at Antwerp continue extensive.
From June 30 to July 5 there entered the port thirty-
four loaded ships, having on board 6,286,038 kilo-
grammes of grain, rice, flour, &c., and there were in
bend on the sth July inst. about 4,000,000 kilogrammes.
There are no later ship arrivals to-day with news of
general interest. Letters intended for the Washington
steamer are to be pre paid and posted this evening.
The intelligence from the continent has still an effect
upon the tone of the Money market here, and there is
,much suspense felt in connexion with the aspect of
Spanish affairs. The new French loan is not likely to
find much favour here, as the intrigues of Louis Philippe
are of a nature to excite well-founded mistrust.
Consols are heavy still upon the news of the loan.
For present transfer they realise 88i 1, and for time
88i 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 90i. to 91. Bank Stock is firm at 1961. Exchequer-
bills are lls. to 14s. premium.
There have been no bargains in the Peninsular Se-
curities. Mexican Bonds are steady at 19i to 1. Ve-
nezuela are at 39. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 57
In Railway Shares there is no movement. Prices are
much the same.
Yesterday, after much evidence had been gone through,
the Committee of the Lords decided that the preamble
of the South Yorkshire and Goole Bill was proved.
It is expected that the Bill will receive the royal assent
by the 15th inst. This news has given an impulse to the
shares, which were done at par ; and in the event of the
Act being obtained, are expected to reach a high premium.
The forged shares have been circulated lately in various
quiirters, but as yet no discovery has been made of the
authors of the forgery.
