MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were
7,000 bales, including 1,500 for export. The market
was firm, and for American very full prices were obtained.
Other sorts were without change. Cotton was not so
freely offered. American realised 4d. to sid. per lb.
Shares were rather dull again.
It has been of late a matter of too frequent remark,
that the committees of management of new railways,
either abandoned or lost by the decision of Parliament,
are slow to come forward with a statement of accounts,
and to wind up affairs. This charge cannot be laid to
the managers of the Irish Great Western Railway (the
Dublin and Galway), to the Bideford and Tavistoek,
and a few others. But still there are very many
other committees who required working up, and a sug-
gestion having been made that a little publicity in this
respect would not be amiss, as occasion serves, it may
be politic to give the names of a few of the most promi-
nent of the parties who hold back accounts and retain
moneys belonging to scripholders. What are the War-
wick, Worcester, and Rugby people doing, for in-
stance ?
By the returns furnished to the Board of Trade the
quantity of tea entered for home consumption, up to the
sth December, is stated at 40,956,4481b5, against
38,291,0731b5. in 1844, and37,009,4381b5. in 1843, show-
ing an increase of more than two and a half millions,
attributable principally to the general employment of
labour. If, consistently with other financial arrange.
ments it were possible to carry out the suggestion of a
reduction or duty to Is. or even ls. 6d., it is probable no
period would be more propitious. On the importance of
a step, the policy of which is so generally admitted, it is
not now necessary to dwell.
Our relations with China, both commercial and poli-
tical, continue uninterrupted. The only one of the new
ports that at present promises to rival Canton in the
extent of trade is Shanghae, where the silk trade is
already mainly conducted, and where, probably,
before many years elapse, no insignificant pro-
portion of the tea trade will follow. The
policy of the re-surrender of Chusan has
been gravely questioned, but, involving as it does
the good faith of our Government, there can be no
doubt of the issue. Our efforts might be more reason-
ably directed to obtain the consent of the Chinese au-
thorities to declare it a free port.
The stock in London at the present time may be
estimated at 34,000,0001b5., and the deliveries from Lon-
don this year have been 22,780,0001b5., including the
home consumption of " the great metropolis," the
quantity sent coastwise, and the exports to foreign ports.
The settlement of the Consol account has given a de-
cidedly favourable turn to the Stock Market, and prices
are up 4 to 4 per cent., the quotations for Money being
954 j-, and for October 14, 96 to 4. There have been
some large amounts carried over, and this indicates con •
fidence. Exchequer-bills have been worth 10s. to 13s.
premium, and East India Bonds under 1,0001. 19s. to
245. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been quoted 974 to 98*, and the Three per
Cents. 96 to 1.
In the Foreign market there has been very little pass-
ing. Portuguese Four per Cents have been marked 421,
being steady ; Spanish Three per Cents have realised
361 ; and the Passive st. Mexican Bonds have been
worth 24, and Brazilian Five per Cents 89:1. Dutch
Four per Cents have been quoted 934 4.
For Railway Shares the market is very dull, and
where sales are pressed, which, however, has not been
in a dozen cases altogether perhaps, the quotations have
been rather in. favour of the buyer.
