MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was but little demand for Cotton at Liverpool
on Saturday. Sales 2,500 to 3,000 bales, of which 500
bales were American, for exportation. There was no
alteration in prices. American sorts realised 64d. to
7i-d. per lb., and 300 Surat 4id. to bid. per lb. Very
little was done in Railway Shares, which were still de-
clining.
The determination we have long maintained not to
give currency at the " first blush" to reported ember.
rassments in mercantile circles, prevented our noticing
on Saturday a :rumour, which was confirmed later in
the day, of the stoppage of Messrs. Gower, Nephews,
and Co. The liabilities are concluded to be not far
short of 1,000,000 L, and as about 600,0001. is said
to be out in bills, we may very easily imagine
the general nature of the losses. The stoppages in other
circles will diminish the ability of many parties to resist
further blows. The firm of Alison and Cumberlege has
stopped for a smaller amount, and chiefly in connexion
with the South American trade. There are rumours of
other houses, but we shall not notice mere reports.
We understand that in reference to a Noble Duke who
is in difficulties, the advances made by an eminent
Hebrew firm were at a low rate of interest.
The Corn Market is steadier, and even rather higher,
as it is said that the great fall here will check imports
for a time at least. The American news per Yorkshire
being only one day later is not of importance.
The Funds have been very inactive this morning, and
the transfer books for the principal stocks being closed,
business is not likely to increase. Consols have fallen
again 4 per cent., even upon the lowest rates of Satur-
day, being 86i 4 for money, and 87* to 86i for time.
Exchequer-bills are 2s. to ss. premium. There can now
be specie.l bargains only in Bank Stock, Reduced An-
nuities, and New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
The Foreign Bonds appear to be steadier than our
own securities are. Spanish Five per Cent. Stock
realises 21 to I, and the Three per Cents. 30* to I.
Portuguese Four per Cent. Bonds have been 25g. Mexi-
can era 19i to I. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
realise 551, and Russian Bonds 1074.
The demand for Railway Shares is very limited, and
sellers are rather pressing upon the market; hence prices
are lower again.
