MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QVANTEI?
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales, 3,000 bales. There was an improvement in the
Rally% ay Share Market.
It ;s with regret that we find we did an injustice to
the firm of Messrs. Whitmore and Son, of the Stock
Exch.rige, in stating that they had been declared as
defau:ters. The party who was sanomuced as unable to
meet his engagements was Mr. Henry Whitmore.
We trust that the highly respectable firm
first named will accept this full and entire con-
tradiction of the mischievous and unfounded assertion
referred to.
A great variety of letters and papers have come to
hand to-day from almost all the porta of New Holland,
and to late dates. Perhaps the most important item of
intelligence is the fact that Sir G. Gipps, the
Governor, had d'rected to be forwarded to the
auth,rities at Port Philip that the Home
Gov(rement had all but arranged the plans for de-
clarieg that vast territory as a separate colony. This
would indeed be a great boon ; and certainly from the
rising prosperity of Port Philip a right course to pur-
sue. The papers from most of the colonies speak
of a lack of labourers, and it would appear
that a fine opportunity is open for artisans
and their families to proceed in that direction
from this country. The produce of the mines in South-
Australia was yielding most abundantly.
In the Stock Exchange this is pay day,
and four or five additional defaulters have been
declared. The differences upon balances were very
heavy. Consols for the Account have fluctuated this
morning, 851 and 85i. For Money some sales have
been etlected at 841 to 84j. The value of both is now
rather better. There has been scarcely any movement
in the Exchequer-bill Market, 2s. discount and par
being the quotations for the 1,000/. obligation. East
India Bonds are at 255. discount; Bank Stock remains
at about 187 189. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have varied from 841 to 85k, the latter having been the
opening quotation.
There has been a very quiet market for the Foreign
Investments. A further improvement has taken place
in French Five per Cents, to 115 f. 50c. Spanish Five
per Cents. have fetched 17k; Mexican, 131 16; Chilian,
90; Brazilian, 78; the Spanish Three per Cents., 29;
and the Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., 54k.
The Share Market has been heavy this morning.
