MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.'
(From The Sun of last Night.)
At Liverpool yesterday the sales of Cotton were 7,000 to
8,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation; 1,000
Pernams and Maranhams, at 4%d. to 5401. ; 200 Bahia, at
6d. to 64d. ; 100 Egyptian, at 5%d. to 6d.; and 300 Surat,
at 3d. to 3.14 d. per lb. The rest was American, at 4d. to
51/2d. The market closed very firmly, and American was
rather dearer to buy. Shares were firmer.
It is with much pleasure that we have to note the fact
that a Committee has been appointed for the purpose of ac-
tively promoting the " Penny Subscription" for the " Peel
Testimonial." And in the most influential circles here, it is
thought no one could have been selected better than Colonel
Thoiapson, the talented author of the " Anti-Corn-
law Rhymes," as President, nor a more judicious selection
as the Deputy, than Captain Polhill, to the " old friend of
free trade." No doubt can therefore exist but that a most
ample fund will be realised to carry out the great object,
originally, and still advocated, by " Alfred," the talented
Correspondent of our Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser.
There have not been any later Colonial arrivals announced
in the City this morning.
The expectations entertained in some quarters that the
directors of the Bank of England would at their early meet-
ing to-day announce a change in the rate of interest has not
yet been confirmed, nor do we expect that any alteration
will at present be announced.
The Public Securities have been ratherheavy this morning.
Consols for Money ex. dividend have receded from 961 to
115%, and precisely the same change has taken place in
the quotations for the next settling day. The premium upon
Exchequer-bills has receded rather considerably,: notwith-
standing a very considerable proportion of the surplus reve-
nue put at the disposal of the Sinking Fund Commissioners
is to be laid out in purchasing such securities np. The pre-
mium now is 12s. Bank Stock has advanced again to 209,
with a steady demand. The Reduced Three-and-a •Quarter
per Cents. are firm at 971% %.
There has been a very dull market for the Foreign Bonds
to-dav, in fact, scarcely a dozen real bargains have been
quoted. The Equador Bonds have been sold at 3%, the
andat 2
