CITY, QUA !ITER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday wer..?
10 000 ,'OO bales, at previous rates, the chief pa"
being American_.
,re warket at Liverpool is.in future to be clog
ca Saturday.
Iliege ale not anylate arrivals announced in the City
this morning.
It is very much indeed to be regretted tbst
supplies of all sorts of grain are witb•
held. Prices of wheat, of barley, of flour, 80. 86c:,
have all again advanced to-day. There appears ever,
prospect that rates will be much higher still. As rei
spects barley and malt, we may remark tILIII
the advance in the prices of ale and beer
by the whole of the brewers of the metropolis,'
and, of course, by the publicans is not at all relishes'
For the last three seasons we are assured the
price of hops and malt have been all in fs",
of the large firms referred to, but these prices were
kept as they were. Now a rise has occurred, very PEI
means have been taken to enhance the price of the or
versge about 25 per cent.
The circular of Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor. of
Manchester, noticed by us on Saturday, has a talented
statement, of singular importance and interest, darn;
strating the injuries committed by the late speculsti°,h,
in Cotton upon the manufacturers and spinners. BY
exposé of the operations of one mill the loss per annum
is set down (the present prices of Cotton being Pit'
at 4,9591. 7s. 6d., and this too, only upon the mantl''',,
tore of eight descriptions of goods. Probably we 10111
find space to give this unique document entire.
Consols for the Account have been firm this morel
at 94, and for the Three per Cent. Reduced at 94. Ink
11
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are at 951 I. 0/..t,
Stock is at 2051 to 206, and Exchequer-bills are at '
to Ils. premium.
Very few bargains have been made ii the Foreig
Stocks this morning. The Equador Bonds are st
the Mexicans at 25 for the Account, and the Belgi'"
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52i.
In the. Railway Share and Scrip Market the businet
transacted to-day has not been of any great interest
The official quotations are annexed.
