MONEY and COMMERCIAL L"
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
2,500 bales, without any change in prices. Railway
shares were quiet.
To the exclusion of every other topic, people are Ow
inquiring what will be the effect of the Government
measure. We incur but little risk in boldly asserting
that it must prove highly advantageous. We are /;.°
sticklers for the rate, and greatly as we regret that Sue
measure was not sooner adopted, it may ultimately bell;
well that the Peel Bill has been fully tested and found
wanting." Partisans and political economists hall
confessedly but little " heart," and against the sapper.
of a favourite theory, the prostration of a score of Iner::
cantile firms is as a mere feather in the balance. The::
scheme of '4l is tried, and let us hope it may be the
last they are permitted to torment us with, except 4.-

print.
The following observations from the circular of 1
Mincing-lane broker, written antecedently to the 60..
vernment announcement, are worthy of perusal :---
of
" Any attempt to estimate the extent and durstled
the present commercial pressure, is necessarily eenundi.
by the very limited information at the command of inr
vidual members of the community. There are, hovves"
some elements publicly known which may become AY
able in the computation.
" The diminished price of many imported article*+
.
though a loss to merchants, has been a gain to the el,
munity. The depreciation in the price of Railwer"to
vestments and of Government Securities is only a 1093._
sellers ; the buyers gain in exactly the same proporl
as the others lose. In like manner, the high prices Pitlito
to agriculturists by general consumers, have added
their wealth in the same proportion as that of the CO
sumers has been diminished.
"In summing up these considerations, we °bier;
that the failures which now occur, and will occur d
some time are the results of disasters already PA 7/4
pretty well estimated ; that these results are runcl„,
themselves out slowly but certainly ; that the ressc,"6,
why mercantile houses cannot obtain usual accounec%,
Lion exists, not in absolute inability to afford it, but
the doubt whether advances will be repaid at the al
pointed time ; that abundant capital exists for carryj
on the business of the country on the most extend
scale and in the most legitimate manner. res
" There is no unfavourable reaction upon exeul4,„7,„b
likely to arise from any new importations of corn, yr'
are neither needed nor expected to take place.
" The accounts received from America must be earl°
sidered favourable; there was neither stringency 11,
uneasiness, but, on the contrary, money was plea
64
and discounts moderate."
thit
Money is already easier in the City generally; r
is, people can obtain it on fair security at 7 or 8 Per
cent., when it was not to be had at all in any enl°t/°
last week.
The produce markets also feel the favourable influe-
of the 'restoration of confidence.
There has been a most decided improvement to't
in the value of the Public Securities, which are lilt
to settle down somewhat near the value which
credit of the country should give them—a duo Pr°l3°.
,
tion they must necessarily bear to the rate of 111n-oel
out of doors. Consols have been 83 to 84i for Transfer,
and 83i to 84i for Account. Exchequer bills have be:op
21s. to 15s. discount. Bank Stock has realised I°'
to 185.
There has not been much doing in the Fcre,,,ig°
Market. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 22. 31°1—
ruitch
are 17 to 3-, Spanish Three per Cents. 271 to 28.
Four per Cents. are 814.

extensive, but there is a decided improvement in Price9.o
