MONEY and COMMERCIAL IN EWS.
CITY, QUAIITER TO TfIIIIF,E.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
rather active. S.iles, 3,000 bales; of which 2,500 were
American, at 4d. to 64d. per lb. Railway Shares were
in limited request, at about the previous rates.
The Corn Market has been again very firm to day.
A small failure was announced in the Coal Market to-
day. The liabilities are about 15,0001, but as there is a
prospect of aid we forbear mentioning the name.
We understand that the number of bills which fell due
on Saturday (the 4th of month), which were noted for
non payment, were very small indeed.
From the manu!acturing districts the accounts are
again better this week. At Liverpool confidence is
represented as having been very considerably restored.
The Birmingham letters are gloomy, the demand for
iron for railway purposes having very cousiderabl)
increased. There is a very great demand for speller.
At Hamburgh large purchases are reported on French
account.
There are not any late colonial arrivals announced
to-day.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Coates and Co ,
which firm swpended:payinent some time past, is
now being held to receive a statement of accounts, dm.
The liabilities are 72,057/., and the assets, 35,4621
Messrs. Truetnan and Cook will, it is confidently ex-
pected, pay 20s. in the pound.
Consols for the Account have fallen this morning from
861 to 86, and for to-morrow to 851 1. There has not
been much business doing to-day. The premium upon
Exchequer- bills is up to is. Bank Stock has improved
to 189.
In the Foreign Market the changes have been slight.
Mexican has had a run of business at from 171 to 181.
The other quotations have been in the Equador, at 18i;
in Spanish Five per Cents. at 174 ; in the Three per
Cents, at 294 ; and in the Belgian Four per Cents.,
at 90.
Very few bargains were made in Railway Shares, and
prices are steady.
