The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
better, prices being firmer. Saks, 5,000 bales. Ame-
rican, -4.1, to Sid. per lb. Railway Shares have also
been quoted at advanced rates, with an improved busi-
ness doing- Midland, Dover, and North Western were
better.
There are Cape of Good Hope papers to Jan. 211, by
the Vigilant, but this is not so late a date as we have
already had.
The letters from abroad are of no special import.
Mercantile and monetary affairs seem in a very un-
satisfactory position every where, and confidence was
at a low ebb in many continental cities besides Paris.
We find the Dutch papers denying that the Netherlands
Trading Company
has been empowered to make over-
tures to the Belgian Government for a treaty of corn-
tierce. Much satisfaction was expressed that M. Bille-
c,?eff had been elected the Envoy from France to
aelgium.
The election yesterday for directors of the Bank of
England resulted in the appointment of five very influ-
ential and experienced gentlemen who have never before
served the impertent office., and the result is likely to
be increased efficiency, the old members of the board
co-operating.
The settlement of the Consol account having been
effected, or at least the preliminary arrangements made,
the funds have now taken a downward turn again. For
present transfer, Consols have been 82i to 81i,
and for May 9,82 i to 811. Stock is therefore
!till scarcer for money than account. Exchequer-bills
bave been quoted 37a. to 40s. premium, and India Bonds
I°3. to 225. premium. Bank Stock has been 184 to 187,
and India Stock 223 k to 228. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 811 to 821, and there
llPPear to have been sales by the public. Consols are at
present about 82 to 1.
In thebush Foreign Market there has been scarcely any
The Spanish Five per Cents. are 10 to 11, and the
Small- Mexican Bonds have been 141 to i.
In Rail Shares has been more disposition
Railway there
to deal, but holders generally require better prices,
led this checks business. The French lines are much
Armor.
