MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was firm,
with an increased disposition to buy. Sales, 4.000 bales;
American, 3,000 bales, realized 64d. to 74d. per lb.
Railway Shares were dull, but at about previous rates.
It is to be regretted that the price of corn
has again been advanced. We mentioned last
week the report that there was an intention
to renew speculation for a rise, but although
it may be true that temporarily the :rupply of the best
Wheat is rather short, it is impossible for any impartial
person to see a justification for the improvement. The
weather is most auspicious, the crops, despite occasional
instances of blight, are promising in the highest degree,
the advices from abroad are good, the imports are ade-
quate, potatoes are abundant and cheap, and yet corn
advances. It is evident that unless an unfavourable
change in the weather occurs, the "game" will soon
again be changed.
1 here are very favourable accounts from Birmingham
respecting the iron trade. In Aris' Gazette it is stated
that " A considerable degree of activity has been dis-
played at the various quarterly meetings during the
seek, and prices have been generally well supported.
The attendance of ironmasters and merchants from
London, Liverpool, and the various manufacturing dis-
tricts, was larger than usual, and a considerable
amount of business was transacted, both in pur-
chases and sales, and in the settlement of
accounts. At Wolverhampton, we are sorry to learn
that a difficulty arose as to whether the day was quarter
day, and most parties demurred to paying their accounts
until the following week, though very few carried out
the principle so far as to decline receiving them if offered.
We have heard during the last quarter of one or two
parcels of rails changing hands, under the excitement of
the extraordinary aspect of the Money Market, upon
rather easier terms ; but, as we have been in-
formed officially, that this commodity. forms no
part in the general trade of iron, and is alto-
ea ther uncontrolled by its variations, we should have
scarcely expected the anxiety manifested to learn whe-
; her the rail sellers had recovered their spirits. A few
lots of pigs were also brought into the market, at the
same time, under the same circumstances, and we are in
formed that some difficulty has been experienced in re-
covering the lull price for that article ; although in
most instances, those buyers who refused to take their
supplies upon the same terms as last quarter-day, have
yet their purchases to make. The holders of ironstone
are exceedingly independent, as many large buyers are
still in the market, notwithstanding the exorbitant
prices asked. Coal-sellers are equally intractable, al-
though the different iron-works have been rather better
accommodated lately, during a temporary lull in the
country demand, while the hay is being gathered in."
The payment of the dividends, as far as it has pro-
ceeded, does not seem to have made money so easy as
was expected, and the surplus has not been brought into
the Stock market either. It has been surmised that
railway engagements are absorbing large amounts, but
perhaps the wealthier annuitants have not yet taken the
interest due to them.
The English Funds are again very flat, and there has
been the same expressed want of confidence in the
market among the dealers and others. The precise
reasons we are not able to give further than that the
state of the foreign exchanges, the corn market, the
French loan, and the approaching settlement of the six
weeks' account have a combined effect. Consols have
been 881 8 for present transfer, and the same for
Friday next. The NewThree-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 90j 4, and the Three per Cents. 88i e. Bank
Stock is worth 1964, and firm. Exchequer bills have
been 1 ls. to 155., and India Bonds ss. to 10s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. have realised 308, Mexican are
flat at 19, (Milian have been 92 to 921, and Brazilian
84 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
571 57k.
With some exceptions, the market for Railway Shares
has been again flat, and there is not much doing. Cale-
