MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm. Sales, 4,500 bales. Railway Shares were very
quiet again.
There is very little news here this morning. The
accounts received from the Continent state that the
firms which recently stopped payment are making ar-
rangements for placing their affairs in the hands of their
creditors, or for otherwise having them administered in
the Bankruptcy Court.
The impediment to the renewal of the debate on the
Jewish Bill causes much disappointment here.
The Indigo sales are going off at advanced rates.
Messrs. John Kingston and Co., in the West India
trade, have suspended payment.
The Public Securities are rather firmer this morning;
but there is very little business doing. Consols realise
89 to I for Money,:and 8911 for Account. Exchequer-
bills have been marked 265. to 80s. premium for those of
June. Bank Stock is quoted 200 to 202. The New
Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. are 901 to 90k.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. A meet-
ing of Peruvian bondholders is to take place on Friday.
The value of those securities now is 38. Russian Bonds
are at 110 i. Portuguese Four per Cents. bring 261;
and Spanish Five per Cents. 21i.
Shares are dull.
