The effect of the anticipated repeal of the corn-laws upon
the American markets is explained in the following extract
from papers received this morning, to as late a date as the
17th ult.
"The news is of the greatest importance. The modifica-
tion or repeal of the corn-laws of Great Britain will, without
doubt, take place immediately after the meeting of Parlia-
ment. The London Times of December 10th, repea's its
assertions, made on the 4th, but with qualifications that take
away a great deal of their important character and strengh.
The effect of this announcement upon the various markets
was very great, and had put a stop to all transactions of
importance. The money and corn markets continued very
tranquil, and will doubtless remain so until Parliament meet
and these questions are settled. There was some activity in
the cotton market, and prices were firm, the sales being
mostly to the trade.
" The effect of this news upon the markets of this country
cannot be otherwise than favourable. Prices of flour and
grain will particularly feel the influence of such accounts,
as a repeal of the corn-laws would create a very extensive
demand for these articles, and create large speculative ship-
ments.
"The accounts by the steamship of the 4th instant from
Liverpool, now nearly due, will be more anxiously looked for
now than previous to this arrival. Business here will be in
a great degree suspended until the steamer arrives, as the
greatest excitement prevailed this evening, throughout the
city, soon after our extra was issued."
The intention of the English Government to reduce the
duty on Tallow, causes purchases for immediate consumption
to be deferred, and about two-thirds of the stock is in bond. In
the meantime the whole of the duty paid stock will be taken
for consumption, as the trade are not at all in stock, and
consequently will not be losers by the reduction.
There has been a rally in the value of the English Stocks
of about 1,4 per cent. consequent on the favourable intelli-
gence from New York. Consols are 94'A to 951/ for Money,
and 951,4 to 95% for Account. Exchequer-bills have run up
to 325. and 355. premium. Bank Stock has risen to 207 and
208, and East India Stock to 2551 and 257%. The New
Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 973/4 to 98k. Every-
thing looks buoyant,
In Foreign Stocks there is scarcely anything doing. Spa-
nish Five per Cents. are steady at 28, and the Three per
Cents. have touched 3876. Brazilian Bonds are 82%.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 9414 to 3/4.
Shares to a partial extent have felt the favourable effect of
the advance in Stocks.
