MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. ,
_There was a continued decline yesterday in the Cotton
Market at Liverpool, American aorta being id. to id.
ter lb. lower. Sales 3,500 to 4,000 bales. American
ascriptions realised 44d. to 6d. per lb. Railway
Shares were a shade better, the purchases being, how-
ever, almost exclusively for cash.
The report about Messrs. Rothschilds, of Paris, was
Mcially contradicted yesterday afternoon; but the state
Of affairs in France still causes much uncertainty and ex-
citement, and the Funds have suffered.
vt • have only Continental arrivals to-day, and these
are still of a very chequered charater. At Amsterdam
!Marl are steadily improving, the King having.offered a
new Constitution to his subjects. The funds improved
Were and some good purchases were made.
At Paris, according to the latest advises, the panic
continued with very little abatement, but the run upon
Bank of France did not cause any particular
ZPreuension, it is stated, in ruiners well informed as to
• resources of the establishment. The failure of three
811°r• bankers of some reputation, was, however, suffi..
16'4 to Prepare the public mind for almost any event ;
Lid the capitalists, in conjunction with the Government,
Ulna devise some plan of meeting the crisis, or there
IA an end of all confidence as to trade. There seems
be scarcely any at Paris, and in London there are no
buyers of bills.
Ins proprietors of Bank of England stock now
I.teetublad, have reason to congratulate themselves upon
iv,'"•llr7 favourable statement made to them respecting
were
Weirs. The profits of the corporation last year
webre 'My— considerable, and an increased dividend, viz.
to mar and a half per cent. for the half year has been
"hired, as will be observed from the report in another
column of the The Sun, and in future the election of
Governor will not be by rotation.
The Funds have declined this morning. There ap-
pears to be some anxiety respecting the state of Ireland,
1411 well as at the continued financial crisis at Paris.
Consols have been 81i to 80-i for transfer and account.
Ezehequer-bills are firm, at 28s to 31s premium. The
arrival of H.M.S. Carysfort with 2,000,000 dollars from
oOuth America is likely to prove seasonable at this par-
ticular juncture.
The foreign half-monthly account is now in course of
adjustment, and prices are not better upon it. There
are two parties—not of first-rate standing, however—
linable to meet their differences, and stock seems to be
Offered. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 111 to
Itaend the Three per Cents. 22. Mexican bonds have
141
~ d 141 to 14i, and Peruvian nominally 23 to 25.
4t is hoped that the endeavour making to interest
Lord Palmerston in favour of the bondholders who
lave addressed him in a strong memorial, will prove
anecessfuL Portuguese Four per Cents. are 14 to 16.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 60 to
61. Brazil Bonds are 70.
Railway Shares are still extremely heavy, and the
arrangement of the account occupies chief attention.
