MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUeII:TER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
flat. Sales, 3,000 bales, half of which were for exporta-
tion.—Reilway shares were heavy also, although there
were some good buying orders in the market.
The accounts received to-day from the United States
do not bring the exchange at so high a point as was
expected, but the news is favourable as regards the posi-
tion of the mercantile community, the probable yield of
the cotton crop, and the state of the money market.
Upon these points we have the following information in
the IVew York Herald :
" Quotations for nearly every stock in the list have
fallen off several per cent. Stocks of the General Go-
vernment, of interest and non-interest-paying States,
cities, banks, and railroads, have depreciated together,
and the market is exceedingly heavy. We can find no
cause for this state of things in the condition of the
money market; for capital seeking employment is abun-
dant enough, and the rate of interest rules very low.
There is not, therefore, any foundation for the depreci-
ation in that particular. It is to be found in the fact,
that the minds of the capitalists are very much unset-
tled relative to the complexion of external matters. Our
internal affairs are in a very sound and pros-
perous condition, but we cannot say as much of our
foreign relations, both political and commercial. The
doubt and uncertainty which rest upon our commercial
relations with Great Britain and Europe generally, in
consequence of the financial difficulties which have
caused so many failures in that part of the world, have
created a great deal of distrust ; tending to the destruc-
tion of public confidence, and compelling a partial sus-
pension of operations, until something more definite is
known relative to the position of parties on the other
side. It is this that has had such an influence upon
prices of stocks in this market more than the character
of our advices from the seat of war. The fact that hos-
tilities exist in the interior of Mexico; that the armies of
the United States and Mexico are at war with each other,
thousands of miles away, and in a manner not effecting in
the least the commercial movements in this country,
have actually very little influence upon the Stock Market,
or upon the operations of any one engaged in legitimate
business. As the prospect increases relative, to the con-
tinuance of the war, and as reports may reach us from
time to time of any trifling reverse the American army
may meet with, we expect useless panics and moderate
depressions in the Stock Market ; but that they will
interfere with the operations of trade generally, we have
not the remotest idea. We might carry on this war for
years without deranging our commercial affairs to any
alarming extent ; and as for the loans which Govern-
ment may be compelled to make from time to time, for
the purpose of prosecuting the war, we do not look upon
the m as very greet evils, but, on the contrary, are dis-
posed to consider them just the reverse."
There have been further injurious reports affecting
credit, and probably we may have some more definite
information for our Third Edition.
We find that there is still an uneasy feeling in the
City with respect to monetary matters, and the prospect
of the meeting of Parliament does not improve things, be-
cause of the presumption that affairs must be very
bad to occasion such a necessity. This is strange
reasoning, but it suits the Stock Exchange, and as
the Bank of England is not doing its duty,
and providing liberally for the wants of sol-
vent parties by an extra issue of notes, being
tenacious in the extreme of trenching, even by autho-
rity, upon Peei's Bill, the full influence of the relaxa-
tion is not felt. Still, in commercial walks, matters are
somewhat better than they have been.
The Funds have been very depressed, and are
fluctuating, though tending don nwarcls still. Consols
have ranged from 811 to 81* for Money, and from 81i
to 812 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 18s. to
245. dis_count, and India Bends 28s. to 355. discount.
The New Three•and a-Quarter per Cents. have been
81i to 81i. Beek Sty ck is at 183 to 1841.
Then.: is very little doing in the Foreign Market.
Mexican Stock has been 161 to 154. Spanish Three
per Cents, are 27. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 524 to 53.
Railway Shares have been very much depressed, and
there appears to be an indisposition to deal.
