MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
heavy. Sales, 3,000 to 3,500 bales, without change of
prices, American realising 44d. to 6d. per lb. Railway
shares were exceedingly dull and depressed, although it
is stated that there was not much stock in the market.
The demand was very limited.
There has been a report current, that, by express,
news has, in a certain circle, been received that Louis
Philippe has expressed his desire to abdicate the throne
in favour of the Compte de Paris. Should this prove
to be the case, which we doubt much, a long Regency
would damage confidence in the French as well as the
English funds.
The General Steam Navigation Company's mail
steamer has arrived with about 7,0001. in specie on board.
There have not been any arrivals from the colonies to-
day.
The Consol Market has been somewhat depressed by
the report to which we have above alluded. For the
Account the prices have fallen from 851 to 85, at which
they remain, with a heavy aspect. Should the
statement msde by a morning Contemporary, in a second
edition, prove to be correct, a weight will hang over the
Stock-market for a considerable time to come. The
sales to-clay have been small, and as a check to the ope-
rations of the Bears, the favourable news from the East
Indies has been rather important. The premium on
Exchequer-bills has been at 85. to lie., and East India
Bonds have rallied to 16s. discount. In the other Funds
the changes this morning amounted to about I per cent.
A good amount of business has been transacted in the
Foreign Funds this morning. Brazilian Stock has been
quoted at 79i ; the Chilian Three per Cents at 49 and
50; the Mexican Five per Cents. at 17-44; the Portu-
guese Four per Cents. at 221; the Spanish Three per
Cents. at 30k; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
56i- and 56.
The Railway Share Market has been rather dull to-day.
