MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market. at Liverpool was steady yester-
day, but the sales did not exceed 2,000 bales. In
Railway Shares there was again more business doing,
and at improved prices.
There was yesterday a slight improvement in the rate
of exchange upon Ilamburgh, and upon the other princi-
pal continental cities the quototions were firm. Paris,
however, was scarcely so good.
The state of the corn market is still very heavy, and
a stoppage in the provision trade for 100,0001. at Liver-
pool has excited an unfavourable impression. It is
also reported that there are two other houses in difficul-

ties there.
Up to the present time it does not appear to be &seer.
tained that Messrs. Gurney have accepted the bulk of
the bills drawn by Messrs. Prime, Ward, and Co. Some
of the smaller amounts have been honoured, but
these represent dividends receivable upon State Stocks-
Referring to the disasters in the corn trade, the
Bankers' Magazine for September remarks.—
In Ireland, the severity of loss, it is said, will be
much greater than on this side of the Channel ; and it
is added that it will involve a greater number of persons,
through the prevalence of corn speculation among people
not regularly in the trade.
" During the month a very large quantity of
corn paper drawn by American Houses ou this
country, has been refused acceptance. The
fallen firms were the reported drawees of a good portion
of these bits, and of course in such cases there was no
alternative out to protest. Messrs. Barings have inter-
h,red in several instances fur the honour of their New
York comspondents, Messrs. Prime. Ward, and Co.,
who appear as the indorsers, and this indirt ct ac-
ceptanek. has prevented much inconvenience to the
ho ders. The intelligence of the collapse in this mat ket
will put the calculations of several of the Ame-
rican dealers on the other side very severely to the
test. It is very gratifying, amidst so many misfortunes,
to hear so few complaints against any of the insolvent
parties of serious partures from the ordinary dictates
of experience and prudence. The losses appear to have
be, a rendereit overwhelming almost solely by the
sudden and ule.xpected turn which events have taken
since Jui.e."
The speculators for a fall have taken advantage of the
news relative to a threatened interference by Lord Pal-
merston in the affairs of Austria and Italy, to check the
advance in Consols, which has steadily gone on in the face
of many adverse circumstances during the last day or two.
Consols have been 87* to 1 for transfer, and are about
871 4 for account. Exchequer-bills are marked 2s. to
ss. premium, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
89 to 4 ; and Bank Stock is 1961 to 197.
The Foreign investments have been heavy. Spanish
Three per Gents. are 291 to 30 ; and the Passive 41.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 251.
Mexican Bonds are quoted 19. Brazilian (New) have
been at 82. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 921.
The business done in Railway Shares has been. com-
paratively ußimportant, and the prices realised are not
quite so Komi.
