MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was
dull, and prices were rather in favour of buyers. The
sales were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, including 700 bales 0!
Surat on speculation. 1,000 bales Surat realised 44d.
to Sid. per lb., and American sold at 6d. to 7id. per lb
Railway Shares were rather better.
There are very cheering accounts again from the
Cape of Good Hope and New Zealand, which show the
SUMS of our arms at the Cape, and the virtual termi•
nation of the war. The New Zealand dates are to
Beßtember 19, and they notice a revival of confidence,
Which cannot but be pleasing to all friends at home.
A correspondent writing from Trincomalee, observes :
-"•" Everything rendering a port important for the pur-
po4 Trincomalee possesses, or could obtain in time.
Its harbour is unequalled in India, and affords secure
arkehorage at all seasons of the year. As in-Colonibo.
°cats from or to the ship have not to voyage a mile or
two, nor in any season are the waves so high as to en
danger the boats° crews and cargoes. Ido not hesitate
to say that there is no harbour in the island that affords
„,tke same facility -to exporters and importers of goods.
411 e, distance being so small from the ships to the shore,
the damage done in the rainy season will be infinitely
less than that of the driest season in Colombo.
'rile repairing of the fortifications and building new
bane Ties here has been a very fruitful topic of conver-
sation among the natives. There have not been want-
ng I,ersons to attribute an expected invasion of the
star id by a foreign nation as the cause for taking such
stet ,s ; some of the deluded people have left the place,
,'
o_VI era are preparing to go, all are securing their valua-
Sa fast as possible."
rile Ma trade in Mark-lane this morning has been
'rta, and the advance of Friday last is fully maintained.
Of I arley the supply continues very short, and it is now
!nail stained that there will certainly be a great deficiency
fl fee quantity required by the brewers, and that there
e very probability of permission being given to use
loge a! in distillation, &c.
T !he English Stocks are to-day rather quiet, though
93- idy, at about Saturday's rates. Consols have been
for transfer to-morrow, the New Three-and-a-
trter per Cents. have been 958 and the Three per
Cel Its. 934 to 94. Exchequer-bills have been marked
ha- to 15s. premium, a further improvement, arising, as
may' be presumed, from the reduction in the " de-
loey" bills effected by the investments therein of
tirl3qus revenue, and which may cause the other bills to
e taken up by the Bank of England, where there is a
n
EastiSsity for placing their assets. The premium upon
India Bonds is quoted 21s.
T here has been a moderate business done in the Fo-
-I.oTau Investments, but prices are again rather heavy.
improvement at the Paris Bourse on Saturday has
at3se it not had much influence here. Spanish Five per
a
ts. have been quoted 251, and the Three per Cents.
