CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Uvervol yesterday was dull,
and closed heavily. Prices were about d. per lb. in
favour of buyers. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which
3,500 American, at 61d. to 7-ad., and 400 Surat at 44d,
to sd. per lb. Railway Shares had been heavy, owing
to the unfounded report of an attempt having been made
on the life of Louis Philippe.
The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. La-
mond and Co., went off rather firmer, and a fair amount
of business was done. The following are a few of the
principal sales:—
North British, Extension £o 14 0
Leicester & Bedford, Exchange Certificate 0 12 " 6
Shropshire Union and Canal 1 19 0
South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 4 6
Newcastle and Berwick, New 8 0 0
Great Northern
South Wales
Newport and Abergavenny 0 16 0
Paris and Lyons
Boston, Stamford, andßirmingham ...... 5 5 0
Eastern Counties. York Extension 6 10 0
Louvain ala Sambre, ex int 0 10 0
Great Luxembourg
Madrid and Valencia
There are no later arrivals today, if we except papers
and letters which have been received in town, dated
June 19th, from Rio de Janeiro. The exchange had
been 271 ; at Bahia, on the 26th June, it was 27. Mr.
Gore Ouseley may now be daily expected home in the
Curacoa, which was to leave Rio on the 26th
of June, and will no doubt bring important infor-
mation as to the course which the British and French
Ministers will adopt in the event of Rosas
declining the proposition for peace. There is reason to
believe that armed intervention in the affairs of Monte
Video will be resorted to in that case by the united
naval forces in La Plata.
A hope is entertained in some quarters that after the
steamer has left for America money will be rather
easier; and it appears that the Bank of England is
freely accommodating its own customers. Indeed the
private and other bankers have ample funds at
command, and if good and sufficient security can be
offered,are glad to make loans. The corn bills indorsed
by Prime, Ward, and King, of New York, and drawn
upon some of the suspended firms, are to be honoured,
as might be expected, by their agents, Messrs. Baring
Brothers, an announcement which afforded satisfaction
yesterday afternoon, and serves to maintain confidence.
Still parties here are very shy of accepting bills for
fresh cargoes coming in, because the amounts drawn for
do not leave a sufficient protecting margin against further
depreciation in prices.
The quantity of wheat sold last week in the towns
specified in the Act was under 48,000 quarters, and in
grain the transactions appeared to have been limited.
A failure at Antwerp, mentioned on 'Change yester-
day afternoon, is said not to be of so large an amount as
that of Messrs. Fraser, and accounts received this morn-
ing from Amsterdam notice some revival of confidence
in the money market.
Very little business has been transacted in the English
Funds, and prices have been without much alteration,
the market looking steadier however. Consols have
been 87 to 874 for present transfer, and 871 871 for Ac-
count. Exchequer-bills 2s. discount to ls. premium.
New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. 89 to 891.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been 20 to 201, and
Portuguese Four per Cents. 27 to 27i. Mexican Bonds
are 18 3to 18i. Dutch Four per Cents. 884 to 89-1.
Shares are quiet.
