The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was with-
out alteration, prices being steady. Sales 4,000 bales, of
which 3,500 were American, at 61d. to lid. per lb. In
Railway Shares there was a continued improvement,
prices being higher, and the market firmer.
By the arrival of the ship David Malcolm, at East
bourne, we have accounts, of April 3, from South
Austra:ia. Toe colony appears to have continuoii in a
promperous condition, and upon a more solid liiundation
than formerly. A vessel from England. the lialubokba,
had taken out several guns of large calibre, ammunition,
&c., for the defence of the colony, &c. As a symptom of
progression, we may notice the fact, that a Royal Ex_
change was about to be established.
Although, according to the accounts received this
morning from the manufacturing districts, the demand
for goods seems, likely to improve, we regret to hear of
the diminished employment for our operatives. At
Pres tin alone eleven mills cave been enirrely stopped,
anoth,r will be closed at the end of the week. six are
workieg but four, and three mills only three days
per week. It is evident that at the existing high price
of the staple, ;the manufacturers can make uu remunera-
tive profits.
The knotty point appears now to be finally settled,
and it is supposed that about 50,0001. of bills drawn by
Prime, Ward, and Co., will be returned under protest
by the packet which leaves Liverpool on Saturday.
Some anxiety is naturally felt for the result, both on
account of the effect which may be produced at New
York, and likewise of the extreme inconvenience that
must be occasioned to the houses here which hold the
bills. We trust they may be enabled to meet the dis-
appointment, though in times of pressure like these, it
is no light matter.
The Cowes shipping list reports rather numerous ar-
rivals of sugar from Bahia, &c.
The sales of home-grown wheat in the provincial
towns continue limited.
In the uncertainty as to the course that may be pur-
sued by the Bank of EngianiVand the hope that the
Money Market will become easier, the public securities
assume to-day some indications of firmness, Consols hav-
ing reached 81 to 88. The political advices from
abroad act unfavourably, however, and check operations
for a rise. The present value of Consols is about
871 fur transfer, and 871 to 88 for account.
Exchequer-bills have been 2s. to ss. premium ; The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 89
to 891. Bank Stock is 196.
The business dons in Foreign Stocks has been more
limited than ever.
From Lisbon our accounts are still of an uufavour-
able character, and as to the state of affairs at Madrid
few pretend to unravel it. The value of Portuguese
Four per Cents. is merely nominal, at 24i to 25i ;
and of Spanish Three per Cents. at 291 to 301 ;
Mexican are about 19. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been quoted 551 to 56.
Railway Shares are steady, but not so buoyant as at
Averpool.
