MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 3,500 bales, of which 2,500 were American, at
41d. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, but there
was not much doing.
There is an entire absence of Foreign or Colonial
news of any general importance this morning.
At Lloyd's, and at the Insurance Companies, there
are many fears entertained of very severe losses by the
gales of the last few days. At sea the impression is
that the wind was terrifically strong. Only a few dis-
asters are as yet placed on the list of ships disabled or
driven on shore by the hurricane.
It was announeed yesterday afternoon that the old
private banking house of Weston and Young in the Bo-
rough, was about to wind up at the close of the year.
Mr. Young, the surviving partner (we believe) has lost
his son, and having ample means, after a long life of ac-
tivity and usefulness, is desirous now of retiring, that, for
the remainder of his days, he may enjoy his otium cum
dignitate.
The West India mail is now due. The letters are
looked for anxiously, as by it some accounts may
may come to hand how the failures here have affected
the position of owners of properties in the Islands.
A very heavy market prevailed early this morning for
the Public Securities. Consols for the account receded
to 851, but they have since rallied to 86 ; and from 85
to 851 1 for immediate Transfer. There have not been
any extensive transactions entered into. Exchequer-
bills opened at 75., and are now at 4s. premium. Bank
Stock has just declined from 189 to 187. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have only varied from
85i- to 852.
The quotations of the :Foreign Funds have remained
steady to day. Mexican Five per Cents. are quoted at
171. Portuguese Four per Cents., for the Account, at
221 ; the Three per Cents. at .29trand the Four- and•
a-Half per Cents. at 904- The Belgian Four per Cents.
are at 84.
The Railway Share Market is rather fiat to-day.
