CITY, QUARTER TO THIci,..E.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday continued
steady, but was quiet. Sales 2,500 to 3,000 bales, all to
the trade. Railway Shares advanced again. The mar-
ket was firm, and although there was not a large busi-
ness done, the improvement in prices was general, North-
Western, Midland, &c., being in especial request.
Arrivals from Sydney and some other places are an-
nounced, but the dates they bring do not appear to be
later. The demand for labour seemed to offer an excel-
lent opening for industrious men, and capitalists can at
the same time invest their means to advantage, as good
sheep were very cheap. In Port Philip a fat wether
was to be had for ss. 6d.
The accounts which we receive from the continental
Money-markets are nearly all of the same general tone.
Everywhere there are ample funds at command for pur-
poses of trade, but great dullness and mistrust exist,
consequently no one will venture upon trans-
actions further than immediate requirements ren-
der necessary. In Hamburgh this is especially the
case, and much solicitude is felt regarding the prosecu-
tion of the Schleswig war, which most parties appear
to think will be on a grander scale than previously, since
the Swedes and Russians may have to be brought into
play to meet the increased German force that is pre-
paring to oppose the Danes.
Accounts of May 29 from Pernambuco furnish no in •
telligence of importance. Trade continued inactive.
The exchange on London, 3 months, was 25d.
There has been a moderate demand to-dayfor grain,
at Monday's prices.
The enterprise of our transatlantic neighbours an-
nually developes to an extraordinary extent their
bundant resources, and furnishes, at the same time, an
excellent example to the adjacent British colonies. It
is stated in a communication before us, brought by the
last arrival, that " The Lakes of the Atlantic are
united by ship-navigation. The Atlantic steamer Free-
Trader is at Chicago, having arrived from Montreal,
making the trip in six days, stopping at Hamilton, on
Lake Ontario, Cleveland, on Lake Erie, and other places.
She carries 3,500 barrels of flour, and runs hereafter
from Chicago (Illinois), to Halifax (Nova Scotia).
Wonderful, incredible, but true! What times, what a
world we live in! 2,000 miles of lake and river naviga-
tion—leaving from any port of Michigan to any seaport
in the world ! '
The probable effect of the important events at Paris
upon France generally, and upon the disaffected towns
of Germany, &c., is a matter of discussion in City
circles, and generally the conclusion come to is,
that so much blood will not have been spilt in
vain. The great object of solicitude now, however,
is as to the mode in which the National Assembly will
determine upon carrying on the Government. A false
step would impair confidence, and destroy also the good
anticipated from the triumph of order.
The Funds have been very quiet to-day, and the
market keeps steady. Consols have realised 838 ;
New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. 841 to 1 ; and the
Three per Cent Annuities 838 to 84i. Bank Stock has
been at 189 to 191. Exchequer-bills have been 38s. to
405. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet, with the
exception of Portuguese, in which there have been some
transactions at the improved rates of 15k and 16} ;
Mexican Stock has realised 16. Spanish Three per
Cents. have been 221 to 224 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 43 to 434.
Railway Shares have been held rather firmly again,
and North-Western, Midland, Great Western, South-
Eastern, and the York lines are rather higher.
