MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, at
previous rates. Sales 5,000 bales, 2,000 of which were
American on speculation. Shares were scarcely so high.
There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter.
The following remarks upon the state of the produce mar-
kets are from the report of an experienced London firm, that
of Wilkinson and Jewesbury :—" The demand for foreign
and colonial products, during the past month, has been ex-
tensive, both as regards articles for manufacturing purposes,
and for general consumption. In the produce market,
prices advanced considerably, up to the time when
the Bank raised the rate of discount, which caused a decline
in most articles. The measures adopted by the Bank were
expected to be followed by others still more stringent; but a
feeling now prevails that this will not take place. The total
quantity of sugar cleared for home consumption, for the
eleven months ending in December, shows an increase of
13,227 tuns, as compared with the previous year; the re-
cent large arrivals of the article into this country from China
will doubtless call further attention to the resources of that
empire. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are
favourable as to the demand for woollen and fancy spring
goods, but complaint is made of a want of buoyancy in the
market. It is, however, gratifying to know, that during
this season of high prices the working classes are so well
employed as they now are. The arrival of each packet from
America is looked fur as likely to bring increased orders for
that market."
According to a German newspaper, the emigration from
Europe amounts to about 150,000 or 160,000 souls annually,
of which, about 70,000 are attributed to Great Britain, 60,000
to Germany, 10,000 to Belgium, 5,000 to France, and 5,000 to
the rest of Europe.
The Bank Restriction Act of Sir Robert Peel is evidently
to be pushed to its utmost verge, if we are to accept as a sign
the letter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressed to
the country bankers, and we need hardly observe that the
tendency is still further to strengthen the power of the Bank
of England, and act upon the Money-market in a manner
to limit the paper circulation. The Bank of England, to-
gether with its other privileges, has constantly in circulation
probably a million of Bank post bills, accepted payable
seven days after date, and no one has ever dreamt of this
as al evil or as a forcing of note issues, because the sup-
ply of these bills can never exceed the demand,
and consequently they must be an accommodation to the
public. The country banks, however, are to be further
mulcted of their fair profits, it seems, unless a successful re-
sistance can be made in Parliament, and the branches of the
Bank of England with liberty to continue the granting of
seven days bills, will make a further inroad upon the business
of their competitors.
There are not any late colonial arrivals announced in the
City this morning.
The fluctuation in the Three per Cent. Consols has scarcely
amounted to per cent. The current values have been
90% and 91, and 91 to 911 for the Account. A pretty con-
derable sale_ was effected in the Three-and-a-Quarter per
