MONDAY EVEMING, OCTOBER: 9, 1848.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL .NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was
steady, but quiet. Sales, 4,000 bales.-In Railway
Shares very little was done. Prices generally were
much lower again.
Intermediate dates from South Australia to the end of
April, advert again in the highest terms, to the progress
of mining pursuits. The South Astralien Mining Com-
pany, during the nine months ending the 7th of March,
had paid five dividends, making 600 per cent., upon the
paid up capital, and it was the intention of the directors
to pay 200 per cent. on the first day of every third
month, being equal to 98,560/. per annum. Besides this
company the Greenock Creek, and others, were doing
excellently, and copper was found only a few
feet below the surface of the ground. Most
valuable clay had been discovered in stratum at
three different places, and it had been declared by com-
petent judges that it could be worked to the finest con-
sistency, so as to vie in quality with any of China manu-
facture.
A statement of the foreign trade of France during the
eight months of this year, compared with the correspond-
ing period of last,!shows a great falling off in the num-
ber of vessels employed. The arrivals compared with
the like period of 1847, were less by 779,568 tons, and
the departures by 164,544 tons, an extraordi-
nary decay, even allowing for the extraordinary
circumstances that occasioned it. - In the stocks of pro-
duce in the French Government warehouses, there was
at the end of August, notwithstanding the diminished
arrivals, a very great increase, the strongest possible il-
lustration we can have of the derangement of business
and its effect upon consumption.
The Moniteur Beige denies that a new loan is about to
be brought out by the Government of Leopold.
The vessels arriving from Hamburgh being now
placed in quarantine, the attention of Government must
be immediately directed to other places on the continent
whence the cholera may reach us. It is evident, for in-
stance, that a traveller from Hamburgh will now come
over yid Ostend, and as there are reports this morning
of the disease having appeared on board a cattle ship,
there is no time to lose. Still alarm, we think, need
not be entertained. It is precaution that is needed.
The knowledge that the revenue returns for the
quarter closing to-morrow will be more satisfactory
than could have been expected, and that there will be a
decided increase upon the corresponding period of 1847,
has not counteracted the feeling of anxiety which is ex-
pressed at the approaching election for President in
France, but a more direct cause, we conceive, may be
the belief that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
have to sell stock, as the public deposits in the Bank
are greatly below what they Were in October, 1847.
The rapid depreciation in railway property will likewise
compel sales of other securities better maintained in the
market, and upon which, therefore, the sacrifice will be
less. Consols opened at 861 -I, and upon sales being
attempted, have dropped suddenly to 85-. Time bar-
gains have been made as low as 85i; Bank Stock is
worth 192; Exchequer-bills of March have been 325.,
and those of June 295. to 325. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been more dealt in than
English Stocks; but sales are being pressed, and the
quotations are lower generally. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are 24 to 241; Brazilian Old Bonds, ex-dividend,
731; Mexican, 18i i; and Peruvian, 32. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 111 to if, and the Three per Cents.
231. Danish Three per Cents. have been 66} ; Belgian
Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 72; and Dutch Four per
Cents., 691 ex- dividend.
The Railway Share Market is worse now than at any
time this year. Sellers, both real and speculative, are
vieing with each other in forcing their securities upon
the reluctant jobbers, already oppressed by the
weight of Railway Stock brought: forward during
the last eight or ten days ; and since there is
no longer any reasoning upon the subject, we must
assume that holders aro either under, the influence
of panic or suffer from want of pecuniary means.
Even parties-and the badness of trade makes them
numerous-who anticipate a probable want of cash a
month or two hence, are swelling the stream of sellers
which, until arrested, will affright the man of means
who otherwise would buy.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
An extremely small supply of English Wheat was
received up to our market last week, coastwise as well
as by land carriage. The receipts of all other articles
of home produce, including Flour, were trifling, yet of
fair average quality. Scarcely any grain reached us,
either from Ireland or Scotland; neither is any worthy
of notice expected to arrive hither for some time hence,
as our market offers no temptations to the producers.
The foreign importations, though not so extensive as
in the previous week, were large; viz. 23,671 quarters
of Wheat; 12,539 ditto of Barley; 10,701 ditto of Oats;
755 ditto of Rye; 783 ditto of Beans ; 1,594 ditto of
Peas; 49 ditto of Tares; 13,025 ditto of Linseed; 751.
ditto of Rapeseed ; 2 ditto of Bran ; 137 ditto of
Mustard-Seed ; 1,082 ditto of sundry other Seeds ;
1,402 barrels and 6,226 sacks of Flour. Fresh
up this morning, we received a very moderate
quantity of English Wheat from Essex, Kent, Cam-
bridgeshire, and the various other counties. The con-
dition of the principal portion of the supply was inferior,
and unfit for grinding purposes, without a larger ad-
mixture with foreign parcels. The attendance of both
town and country buyers was by no means large. Se-
lected parcels of home-grown Wheat moved off readily
at fully last Monday's quotations. The middling and
ill-conditioned samples, however, were a very dull in-
quiry, at a decline in the prices of last week of fully is
per quarter, and at which a total clearance was
not effected. Notwithstanding the supply of
fine foreign Wheat was large, the best descrip-
tions commanded a steady, though not to say brisk,
sale at full rates of :currency. In all other kinds, ex-
ceedingly little business was doing, at, in some instances,
a decline in value of ls. per quarter. The principal
portion of the sales effected to-day were for inland con-
sumption. No English Barley was at market, and the
supply of foreign was far from extensive. Fine malting
parcels were in steady request, at full rates of currency.
Grinding and distilling sorts were dull, and ls. per
quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Scarcely any
foreign Barley is now under lock. Although the
supply of all kinds of Malt was small, that
article was very slow in sale, at unaltered qnotations.
Comparatively speaking, the supply of Oats was small.
Really fine dry Corn moved off steadily, at late rates.
In all other kinds exceedingly little was doing, and, in
someinstances, the rates had a downward tendency.
The sale for Beans was far from active, at last week's
prices. White boiling Peas went steady, but other
kinds of Peas were neglected. Indian Corn and Meal
went quite as dear. In Flour we have no change to
notice. The demand for it was slow.

At Hull and the other northern outports about 2,000
head of stcck have come to hand, in, for the most part,
average condition. Comparatively speaking, the supply
of foreign beasts on offer here to-day was but moderate.
That of Sheep and Calves was smaller than for some
time past, and of very middling quality. The primest
of each kind of stock moved off steadily, at full prices;
but all other qualities were somewhat easier to purchase.
About 1,000 head were landed from the Dutch steamers
this morning. There was a considerable falling-off in
the number of home-fed Beasts on offer here to-day,
and their general quality was by no means prime, the
time of year considered. As the dead markets were
tolerably well cleared of their last week's arrivals, and
the attendance of buyers—especially of those residing
in the country—was good, the Beef trade was steady, at
prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, the
primest Scots producing from 4s to 4s 2d per Sibs, being
an advance in the quotations obtained on Friday of 2d
per Sibs, and at which a good clearance was effected.
We seldom recollect to have seen so few really prime
Scots in the market at this season as to• day. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, including
the Western and Midland counties, we received about
1,000 ;Scots, Herefords, runts. Devons, Irish beasts,
&c. ; from the northern districts, 1,200 short horns ;
from other parts of England, 350 of various
breeds ; and, from Scotland, 40 Scots. Although the
number a sheep were on the increase, compared with
those exhibited on Monday last, the supply of that des-
cription of of stock was very moderate, the time of year
considered. On the whole the Mutton trade was in a
very sluggish state, at a tall in the currencies of 2d per
81bs. The general top figures for the best old Downs
' rated from 4s 10d to 5s pvr 81b. With Calves we were
scantily supplied, nevertheless the Veal trade was rather
heavy, at prices about equal to those paid on Friday-.
Primo small Porkers moved off steadily at late rates,
otherwise the Pork trade was in a very sluggish state.
Per albs, to sink the offal.

NEIXTGLLTE AND LZADENBALZ.
Our markets continue to be well supplied with
country-killed Meat. During the past week we received
upwards of 200 carcasses of Beef, 600 carcasses of
Mutton, 220 carcasses of Veal, and 700 carcasses of Pork
from various quarters. The supplies on offer, slaugh-
tered in the metropolis, are tolerably good. Prime
Beef, Mutton, Veal, and Pork have been in mo-
derate request, at full prices. In the middling and in-
ferior kinds exceedingly little business is doing, at
barely late rates. About 800 carcasses of Foreign Meat
have appeared on Sale.
