MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. ,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.-
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales, 2,000 bales, of which 1,500 were American, at
44d. to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares had not been so
good, and prices were rather lower.
The letters received from the West Indies to day by
merchants connected with the trade of the colonies, are
of a most disheartening description. Everything appeared
to conspire against the interest of the owners of estates-
hurricanes in some places-returned bills from the
mother country, and the markets for produce as dull
as they possibly could be. The quantity of specie
brought by the mail steamer is, we understand, wholly
on merchants' account, as there is no advice of any
of the precious metals being on behalf of the Mexican
dividends.
There is a report current that the French Ministry
has resigned, and that prices have come over lower from
the Parisian Bourse. It will be seen by our Stock Ex-
change report that prices have been reduced.
It is stated in advices of Oct. 1, from the Equator,
that the Congress had decided upen the restoration, to
the wife and family of General Flores, of the estates
which had been wrongfully taken from them. It appears i
that the conduct of General Flores in quitting his coun- I
try, to avoid embroiling it in civil war, is much corn-
mended.
Consols for the Account have fallen from 86i to 86,
but the present value is f i per cent, better. The
money price is 15} 1. There have been some consider-
able sales of Stock made this morning. The premium
upon Exchequer-bills has improved from 4s. to es., and
India Bonds command a rising value from 255. to 18s.
discount. Bank Stock has been subjected to some fluc-
tuation this morning, viz., from 186} to 188 f.
The quotations of Mexican Bonds have receded from
18 to 17i i. Spanish Bonds have remained at
17f ; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 554;
and the Four per Cent. Certificates at 84k.
In the Railway Share Market the principal bargains
have been in the Caledonian, at 37f; in the Eastern
Counties, at 164 i; in the Great North of England, at
224 to 227; in the Great Western, at 13 to 15 premium;
in the Great Northern, at .1 discount; in the London
and Brighton, at 43f to 44; and in the York and North
Midland, at 75 to 76. London and Westminster Bank
Shares are at 3} premium.
It is rumoured that a large firm connected with the
wool and woollen trades is in difficulties. The name is
only privately mentioned, and we, therefore, cannot as
yet give it.
