MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and prices had a downward tendency. The
,ttles ecre est mated at 4,000 bales, including 500 4.n
sp culation.—ln R tils ay Shares there was a further de-
cline in price.
Tilt. Continental advices received to-day have engaged
some attention, and there is an uncertain fueling produced
by the report that the Russians have the intention of en-
tering the Dardanelles. Nut much credit is attachcd to the
repurt, but in conjunction with :he preparations making
by Denmark to meet any contingency arising from the
termination of the armistice on the 26th inst, and tkp
position of the Italian question, there is room for doubt
and indecision. The accounts from France act quite as
a counterpoise to the news from other quarters, the
Bourse continuing extremely buoyant, and having in
tact been higher than ever. The speculators there ate
evidently very confident, and there is a favourable issue
expected to the next elections.
Later accounts by two or three days have come to
hand from the Cape of Good Hope. The colony wee
tranquil, and the Kafirs were better controlled on the
frontier, so as effectually to check their cattle depre-
dations.
The Cunard steamer from the United States atd
Canada has arrived off Liverpool, but her advices are not
expected in town to-day.
The fine weather reminds us that the season for emi-
gration is returning, and from all we learn it is likely to
be active. There is as excellent choice of destinations.
Canada, Australia, the Cape, and New Zealand. all offer
peculiar advantages. In a Parliamentary document re-
cently published concerning South Australia, one wit-
ness's examination runs thus:—
" Can you state any circumstance individually proving
the advance of prosperity of those people as exhibited
by their acquisition of property ? —Yes, I can. I settled
one person on the Company's lands of the name of
Joseph Gould, who took with him about 4001. or 5001.
as capital; he afterwards wrote me that in the course of
two years he had doubled his capital. Mr. Giles, our
manager, mentioned one person who went out as a la-
bourer with Mr. Davenport in the year 1838, and when
Mr. Giles wrote to me, in February, 1847, he said
that person had a farm, and had at leant 2,000 bushels
of wheat upon it the preceding harvest. Another that
had gone with the same gentleman, Mr. Davenport, had
at least 1,000 bushels grown on his ground. I have
here the letter from Mr. Giles, of the 7th of February,
1847, in which he says :—' Almost all the company's
present tenants in the country were labourers when you
left. Chandler, the Dunns, Philphers, and some of the
oldest shepherds are now worth a good deal of
money.. I should say George Dunn's property
(that 'is one I have already named as having
been a shepherd) if sold at auction to-morrow
would realise at least 1,01301.; he has three sections of
land of his own; this has been made in eight years.
One man, who came out a labourer with poor George
Francis Davenport, has 2,000 bushels of wheat this year.
Another of his men, named Yates, has 1,000 bushels of
wheat this season. Ile adds, I am quite certain wheat
has been grown here for 3s. per bushel and at 45.: per
bushel. The farmers may live well and daVil money,
and at the same time farm regularly, the following year,
as in England.'"
The Funds are very steady, the appointment of Sir
Charles Napier giving confidence; but there is not an
active business doing. Consols have been 91-1 j, end
are now about 91i /. The Bulls are not much inclined
to operate further, and it will depend chiefly upon mosey
purchases to support the market. The* New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 921 to 93, and the 'Thiee

firmer at 239.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish
are rather higher, the Five per Cents. being lit to L,
and the Three per Cents. 29-i to 4. Portuguese Four
per Cents, have been marked 25 to 26. Peruvian
Bonds have been quoted 501- I. French Three per
Cents. have realised 52.50 to 53.50, with the exchange
at 25.20.
Shares have been rather firmer, including Hudson's
lines. The Frencli, although rather quiet, are generally
dearer.
