MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
3,000 bales, at previous rates. The market was steady.
Railway Shares were better, and more business was
doing.
There are various arrivals to-day, but the Indian ad-
vices absorb most attention. In many respects there
are satisfactory, and not at all calculated to aggravate
the existing embarrassments here, although we fear
there must be much mischief in the Presidencies, as well
as in the Mauritius, hereafter, from the continued
failures here, Messrs. Cockerell and Co. being now, un-
fortunately, added to the list. The respect entertained
for one of the head partners, Sir G. Larpent, as a private
individual, and quite apart from his political predelic-
tions, causes the event to be regarded with feelings of
unfeigned regret, as well as of apprehension for the
future. A very old Hebrew firm in the Morocco trade
has also suspended.
The least favourable part of the Overland budget is
from China, but even there, it is to be hoped, a little
timely energy on the part of the British authorities will
avert an actual declaration of war.
From Brazil we have no very encouraging account
of the import market, but in exports there was more
doing.
The Portuguese mail brings again intelligence of a
chequered character, and the state of political parties is
very perplexing.
From Amsterdam, the report of the Stock market
received to-day in more encouraging, some good pur-
chases having been made ; and as money was easier,
both the Home and Foreign Securities were favourably
affected.
In the dried fruit report of Messrs. Witherley and
Ranson, we have the following information:—
" The clearances in London of Currants for home
Consumption have been very large, in all 770
tons from 22d ult. to 20th inst. against (owing
to the exhaustion of our stock) only 230 tons in
the like period of 1846, and 410 tons in 1845. At Li-
verpool they have been rather below those of the pre-
vious month. Our stock here in bond, which was esti-
mated on the 21st ult. at 2,170 tons, was, by the above
clearances and by shipments reaching 175 tons, reduced
to 1,230 tons on the day before the Parga's arrival,
against no stock at the commencement of last season,
650 tons on 20th September, 1845, and 2,250 tons on
10th September, 1844, in which latter year the new
fruit did not arrive till early in October.
" New Muscatels have opened at 70s. boxes of layers,
60s. boxes of bunch. Several cargoes have arrived, but
as yet the sales have been on a small scale, the attention
of the trade being turned rather to old Muscatels, which
are comparatively cheaper, although commanding higher
rates than a month ago in consequence of bad accounts
from Malaga. Bunches are held at 425., layers, 455.
The sales of Turkey fruit have been on a limited scale,
holders having again raised their pretensions, in conse-
quence of the high price of Spanish fruit, and the
certainty of a short crop in Turkey. New Sultanas
opened at 755., declined to 60s. a 655., according to
quality, and are now held at 705."
The Public Securities have scarcely suffered to the
extent that might have been apprehended from the re-
newal of commercial embarrassments. Consols opened
at 85! 4 for transfer, and have been since 851 1. Time
bargains have been made at 851 to 86. It must be borne
in mind that there were heavy sales on Saturday, which
then depressed values. Exchequer-bills have been quoted
4s- to 7s. premium.
There has been very little passing in the Foreign
Market. Mexican Bonds are 181 i; Portuguese Four
Per Cents., 23 to 25; Spanish Five per Cents., 191 4.
Brazil Stock is at 81 to 83. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
Per Cents. have been 54+ to 1.
The Market for Railway Shares has been rather
Pressed upon by sellers, and the quotations may be con-
sidered tolerably steady under such circumstances.
