MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. •
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
6,000 bales, at firm rates; 4,000 being American, at 60.
to 7d. per lb.; 1,000 bales Surat realised 41-d. to 5:14.
The Railway Share Market was considerably firmer,
and a fair business was doing.
The Spanish conversion scheme still attracts attention,
and divides opinion in the City, nor does it appear to
gain favour the more it is considered. In truth
the whole matter appeirs to be but another
financial juggle to effect an exchange of one bit of paper
for another, and raise a large sum of money for the Go-
vernment at the expense of foreign countries. The time
would almost seem to be approaching when foreign
loans must be prohibited, objectionable as interference
generally may appear in matters of trade or finance.
The news from America is of a favourable character,
and is almost all that could be expected. .The price of
corn was declining, the exchange was tending upwards,
and specie was so plentiful in the American banks that
they scarcely knew what to do with it.
From Toronto we are advised that :—" The accounts
of our wheat crops continue less favourable. We hear
more every day of the increasing ravages of the Hessian
fly. Many farmers in the home district, as well as other
parts of the province are ploughing up most of their fall
wheat. It is some consolation to find that the spring
crops are in general very good. Hay will probably be
abundant, but late.
" The steamer Cambria brought the very unexpected
news of the fall of breadstuffs in England ; flour having
fallen 7s. a barrel, and other grain in proportion. This
produced a very uncertain state of our market on Friday
and Saturday. The previous high pi ices had caused a
great influx of flour and wheat on both mornings (more
especially as on Saturday there is generally a full mar-
ket). The natural effect was, that the farmers and
the merchants found it hard to come to terms ; and in
the course of Friday, as many of the former could not
afford to take their produce home again, a considerable
quantity was sold at a low rate, viz., 30s. to 325. 6d., ac-
cording to quality."
Respecting the emigrants it is said—
" Emigrants continue to arrive in shoals by every
steamer, and the later importations are of a rather less
favourable description than the former ; though a very
large proportion are of the class of respectable labourers
and small farmers.
" We understand that 70 emigrants were admitted into
the hospital from Monday, the 14th instant, to Saturday,
both days included, of whom five have since died. We
do not hear of any instances of contagious fever among
them."
The English Funds have been rather firmer to•day;
and there is a steadier demand for Stock upon the fa-
vourable accounts from America. Consols are 881 for
Money and Friday; Exchequer-bills have been 10s. to
12s. premium. Bank Stock is rather heavy, at 195.
The Foreign Bonds have been dull, Spanish Five per
Cents. are 224, and the Passive Bonds 5. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are 301; Mexican Stock is 19 to 194;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 574.
Railway Shares are looking rather better to-day, but
without any great increase of business.
