MONEY and COMIVERCIAL
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday, and prices were well supported. The sales
were 4 500 bales, including 200 for (sport, and 500 on
speculation. Railway Shares were higher on Saturday,
but the great rise here was not then known sufficiently
to cause an effect, and North-Western were called 107
to 108 k; Caledonian, Preference, lf dis.; Midland, 721
to 73k; South-Eastern, 214, &c.
The Penguin packet from Rio brings aceounts of
September 13th, when the exchange had risen to 23k.
Trade was rather better, but still dull comparattiely to
other periods.
The Foreign Accounts are expected to be very inte-
resting this week, because of the apparent crisis to which
affairs are progressing at Vienna, by the preparations for
the attack. Some idea as to the tone of popular feeling
in France upon the subject of the Presidential election
is also likely to be gleaned within the next week or two.
Mercantile affairs at Paris and in other parts of France
are still represented as being dull.
The two Brussels Banks had a total note circulation,
on the 25th of October, of 39,911,000 francs, of which
the Socid a Generale is put down for 31,911,000 francs,
end the Bank of Belgium at 7,999,000 francs. The three
discount establishments of Brussels gave accommodation
from the 11th to the 25th of October on 3,247 bills,
amounting to 4,233,377 francs. The Bank of Flanders,
from the special fund advanced,by Government, loaned
31b,803 francs.
The English speculators who have established the
centre of their operations in the cantons of Tirlemont,
St. Frond, Jodoigne, &c., were buying pigs six weeks
old at 18f., and from these and similar purchases, the
farmers were deriving an advantage which partly recom-
pensed them for the low value of grain. Potatoes
also were cheaper, having been sold at 61. per 100
kilogrammes.
The following is part of a report from Aris' Gazette
upon the iron trade of the Birmingham districts:—
" The cheerful feeling that a few weeks since enlivened
every department of this trade, we are sorry to find, has
given way to one of considerable anxiety ; and, wider
the influence of some rogue apprehension, the opening
prospect of more remunerative activity has considerably
receded. The renewed outbreak of revolutionary dis-
position abroad, and the prostration of railway interests
at home, have been promenaded as the most ominous
objects of dread ; and we use the word advisedly, for
we cannot learn that as yet any absolute depressive
erects have been inflicted by either upon the
peculiar transactions of the iron trade, be-
yond what such a sensation is calculated to pro-
duce. The demand for iron continues at present
pretty nearly, if not quite equal to the make, and manu-
facturers of hardware articles of every description have
yet orders sufficient to afford their operatives full em•
ployment. That specifications are given with more
hesitation, that some purchases are made even condi-
tionally, and that the low prices at which sales were ne-
gotiated by inferior manufacturers during the early part
of last quarter, have been partially resumed by them,
are but the natural consequences of the policy lately
adopted."
The English Stock Market has been firm again to-
day, although the advises from Vienna are not yet of a
conclusive'character. Consols have been 854 to 86, for
transfer arid time. The quotations are supported by the
abundance of money, and the continued impression
that the Bank of England will be compelled to lower its
terms for advances. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents, have been 854 to and the Three per Cents.
841 to 85. Bank Stock has been at an advance to 186
and 188. Exchequer- bills have realised 425. to 455.
premium for those of June; and East India Bonds 425.
to 445. premium.
The Foreign Stock Market has not been very animated,
but the quotations have been without any particular al-
teration. Mexican have improved to 21+ for Money,
and to 21i 4 for Account. Grenada bonds have been
12k. Brazilian small have been 72i. Spanish Active
stock was at 11+, and the Three per Cents. at 22k.
telgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked
72k, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 45 to 45k.
he Market for Railway Shares is influenced not alone
by the causes existing on Saturday, but likewise by the
arrangements for the settlement of the Account, which
are now in progress. The marked improvement in
prices which occurred during the closing days of last
week is fairly supported to-day.
