MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was ex-
tremely dull. i Sales, 3,000 bales, at Id. to id. rer lb.
reduction on the rates of Friday last.—Railway Shares
were steadier, with a trifling improvement in the state of
feeling.
Another great Mauritius house having suspended
payment, that of Barclay, Brothers, anxiety is re-
awakened, and suspicion lurks abroad. No one seeks to
allay the prevalent excitement, and there is daily a
complication of events which endangers parties of ex-
cellent, but not immediately available, resources. How
such a state of things can be suffered to exist
when a few Bank of England notes would re•
lieve the crisis, it is almost incredible to con-
ceive. The Bank, however, does its best to assist
all parties, and though compelled to limit its accommo-
dation, and to exact the re-paymeut of loans upon stock
and Exchequer-bills, will probably become more liberal
after the bulk of the dividend payments shall have been
completed. Messrs. Barclay's liabilities are about half
a million sterling. The losses of the firm upon sugars,
and by the suspension of other houses, must have
been tremendous. Messrs. Mocatta, of Liverpool, in the
Caraccas trade, have stopped payment, but not, we
believe, for a large sum. In the manufacturing districts
trade is most depressed, and here the Indigo sales are
going lower.
The affairs of the Governor and Company of
Copper Miners of England, as developed at the
meeting held yesterday, are unfavourable, and the
Bank of England will evidently, unless the share-
holders of the former make great exertions, have
to administer their property. It appears that
from the pressure of the monetary world they could not
raise the capital they required without enormous sacri-
fices, and were compelled to apply to the Bank of Eng-
land for assistance, who consented to lend them 270,0001.
upon a mortgage of their estates, at the rate of five per
cent. per annum; to this arrangement the meeting con-
sented, and the common seal of the company was placed
upon a resolution to that effect; 150,0001. was to be
applied to the discharge of claims upon them, and the
remaining 120,0001. was left for the carrying on the
works of the company. A long and animated discussion
took place, which ended in the directors promising to
lay a full statement of the affairs of the company before
the proprietors at the earliest possible period.
The state of affairs in the Stock Exchange, this being
settling day, has been extremely unsettled, and from
the extraordinary fluctuations of the last few weeks, the
result of to-morrow is looked for with extreme
anxiety. Much will depend upon the ability of outside
speculators to meet their losses, but if report speaks
truly, one or two of our wealthy capitalists, who
have been operating for the rise, will have
heavy amounts to make up. So far it will
be satisfactory to the parties concerned—for the
public have no interest in stock-jobbing—if the losses
fall upon parties able and willing to meet them. At
the Bank the dividend payments proceed briskly, and
the number of early applicants proves how acceptable
the money is just now. Consols have been 81 to 801
for transfer, and 821 to 811 for November. Exchequer-
bills have ranged from 20s to 335. discount. Bank Stock
has fallen to 181 and 178. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents, have realised 811 to 801.
The Foreign Securities have been very heavy,
Spanish Active Bonds have been about 17 to 18. The
Three per Cents. have been done at 26 to 264. Mexican
are about 18 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
521 to 531.
Railway Shares range at rates lower than ever, with
more sellers than buyers.
