MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Ci 7' Y, QUARTER TO' THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
8,000 ba'•es, including 4,000 American on speculation.
Prices remained as before. Shares were heavy, and on
the decline.
There is an appearance of rather more ease in the
Money Market this morning. The intense excitement
of last week appears to be gradually wearing away.
The Stock Markets are more tranquil. There is an
advance, however, to be noticed in the Corn Markets
this morning. The commercial sales announced for the
present week are rather considerable, but in the
present state of the Money Market it is not
very generally anticipated that prices can rule high.
The rate of interest upon the first description of paper is
rather on the advance tha❑ otherwise in the general dis-
count market. The directors of the Bank of England
are moat careful in restricting their accommodation upon
mercantile paper, and without reference to any parti-
cular and heretofore select firms, with the exception of
those known to be carrying on their usual commercial
transactions upon the steady principle which has for a
long time past masked their operations.
The opening price of Consols this morning was 85L
and for the 15th instant 854; but the present values are
851 s for the former, 'and 851 / for the latter. The value
of Consols Scrip is as low as 38 and 4 discount. Bank
Stuck is worth 195. The New Three and-a• Quarter per
Cents. are 86 to 1.
The transactions in the Foreign House have not been
of any magnitude. Spanish Five per Cents. are 254;
and Portuguese Four per Cent. Bonds 35. Mexican
have been at 21; and Brazil Stock is 83. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 574 to 58/ ;
and Danish Bonds are 86+ to 1.
Railway Shares have in a few instances been a shade
better. Great Western Half Shares hare been 68 to
671; South-Eastern, 34i#0 354; North-Western, 173 to
1721; South-Western, 6 to 63; Midland, 113; Brighton,
50 to 51; Eastern Counties, 18 to 18/ ; Caledonian, 231
to 244; Boulogne and,.A?zrjens, 16 to 161; Northern of
France, 128 -11; North,,, afford, 64 to 71; York and
Newcastle, 32 to 324; and Aberdeen, 26.
