MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was again
very firm. Sales, 12,000 bales, of which 8,000 were to
the trade, the rest being on speculation. American,
5/d. to 7d.; Maranham, 61d. to sid. ; Egyptian, 7-id. to
Bd.; and Surat, 4d. to Ofd. per pound.—The Share
market has been quiet, but in most cases was steady.
It is not an unimportant fact to notice that the ac-
counts from the country grain markets are almost
unanimous in stating, the supplies were coming in most
abundantly. Hence the probabilities that present prices
cannot be maintained. In a " ship" that has been sent
to us, we find the following remarks upon this subject ;
it is from the pen of a competent authority, and
worth quoting in all the journals of the
country, particularly those published in the
manufacturing districts, so that the " famine cry" set
up a short time since by interested parties may be dis-
sipated. It is correctly remarked thus
Our readers will see that the view we have, for
some time past, taken of the state and prospects
of the Corn Market is in course of being fully
confirmed. Prices are decidedly, although slowly,
declining, and a more considerable fall would ere
this nave taken place, had it not been partially
counteracted by interested parties keeping back
supplies, and encouraging their country friends to
hold on for still higher prices than those now current.
Meanwhile we are receiving continued and large
supplies of all kinds of foreign grain, maize, and
flour ; and as duty is paid immediately on impor-
tation, it is to be presumed that the whole is going
into consumption, in preference to home-grown
corn. Supposing then, that the last crop was
deficient to the extent of one month's consump-
tion, we may consider that the quantity already
received and delivered, has more than made up for that
deficiency, and that the quantities shipped, and on the
way to this country, added to those which are in course
of shipment, will not only secure us against high rates,
but reduce prices to a moderate rate during the whole
of the next year."
There have not been any late colonial arrivals an-
nounced this morning.
The Funds are scarcely so firm as they left off yester-
day afternoon. Consols for the Account, have just
been sold rather largely at 95k, and at 95k for trans-
fer. It is probable that money is rather more tight, but
then we find that Exchequer-bills have realised from
7s. to 10s. premium. The Reduced Three per Cents.
have receded from 94* to 93i ; and the Three-and-a-
quarter per Cents. from 96 to 95i. India Bonds are
flat Lt 17s. premium.
The market for the Foreign funds is very tranquil to-
day. The only fresh prices given are for Granada bonds,
19k, for Mexican Five per Cents. 2241, for Portuguese
Four per Cents. 39k, for Spanish 264, and for the Three
per Cents. 37/ 4.
A steady demand for Shares exists. The corrected
prices given this morning are annexed.
