CITY, QUARTER TO VIJII-1 F.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Satutrasy: el osed
rather heavily. Sales, 9,000 bales, of wkich ,000
were American, to the trade, at 41d. to 5.11 r lb.
Railway Shares further improved, and priOn were
higher.
As was fully expected, several additional fail, tees are
reported in the 'mounts received by express in anti sipation
of the overland mail. The state of trade was 'tory de-
pressed ; but in China the feeling towards the english
was becoming more amicable, aui this, so fai, ", may
promote business.
The West India steamer has not been anncolneemi
The affairs of Messrs. de Bruyn, of Ausster,damk, are
expected to be wound up favourably, and the eel ate
shows a dividend of 10s. in the pound, making lib, tel
allowances, and assuming evsn that the work. arc not
carried on.
The advance in the Publie Securities to-day has bet 'n
very decided, amounting to full half per oent. compel toi
with the rise on Saturday. The abandauce of moo dry
which is now offered at the extremely low rate of
per cent. per annum for short periods, upon the semi ty
of Stock and Exchequer-bills, induces continuo. la
purchases, and it is said that the insurance office
have bought to some extent for delivery. •
To-morrow being a transfer day will better
determine this point. It is curious to witness such an
accumulation of money at a time when the discount of
second class commercial bills continues difficult; bat it
is to be expected that as confidence gradually revives,
and failures become infrequent, the temptation of a
higher rate of interest will not be without its in
fluence in facilitating the operations of trade. In-
deed, the advance in Consols will be felt ere long
throughout the country, and will improve to some
extent the position of the houses which when they
stopped payment were large holders of produce. Consols
opened at 84 and have since advanced to 894 1. Ex-
chequer-bills have touched 265. to 295. premium, and
India Bonds 15s. to 20s. premium. Bank Stock is 1981
to 200, and India Stock 236. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 891 to 04 and the
Three per Cents. 881 to 891. South Sea Stock is at
95k. Long Annuities have been 81.
In the Foreign Market more business has been
done, probably owing to the buoyancy of the English
Funds. Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds have advanced to
201 1, and the Three per Cents. to 301 1. The Passive
were at 44. Portuguese Four per Cents. realised 26,
and Brazilian 811. Mexican Stock has been at 11 to ;
Peruvian at 381 to 391. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 34 to 1, and the Four per Cents
85 to 1.
For Railway Shares there is a bettor demand, and the
quotations have risen generally.
