MONEY and COMMEIWIAL WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 BREE
„ The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm, and a large business was done. Sales 8,000 bales.
American was Id. per lb. higher. In Railway Shares
there was a 1 slight improvement, and very little stock
was offering.
The letters from abroad note some further progress
made by the Austrians in Italy, but as a counter-balance
confirms the fact of an armistice having been concluded
between Denmark and Prussia. The funds at Paris are
also stated to have been rather firmer.
The Societe Generale of Belgium have issued the new
five-franc notes, and the only complaint against them is,
that they are not engraved upon sufficiently strong
paper.
The sales of wheat in the markets which governs the
duty are returned for last week at 116,209 quarters.
We have been favoured by the Secretary of the East
India and China Association with a comparative state-
ment of the shipping engaged in the India trade. It
appears that the entries inwards at London, Liver-
pool, and the other chief ports during the six
months ending the 30th of June last wete 469 ships
of 215,544 tons, being a decrease compared with the
corresponding period of 1847, of 88 ships and 22.572 tons.
The outward entries were 485 ships of 217,745 tons,
giving an increase of 59 ships and 25,543 tons compared
with 1847. The decrease is to Calcutta, China, Singa-
pore, but it is balanced by the augmentation to Bombay,
Ceylon, New South Wales, and the Cape.
The report received by the last mail of the position of
the North. Western Bank of India gives the liabilities at
Ts. 53,73,665 8 4, including re. 11,88,923 1 3 in de-
posits and rs. 50,205 13 1 in profit and loss. The
assets comprise loans and credits rs. 29,82,091 1 4;
cash and bills, 2,87,056 12 6, Government Securities,
re. 1,33,493 9 1, and branches and agencies, r 5.19,55,356
15 5.
There is an exceedingly quiet, but at the same time
a very firm, market for the Public Securities, the more
remarkable perhaps as it can scarcely be conceived that
the account is adjusted. To-morrow will probably tell.
Consols have been 871 to Bank Stock is 1921 to 194.
and East India Stock has taken the wide range of 235
to 239. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 87i to Exchequer-bills have risen to 445. and
475. premium.
In Foreign Stocks scarcely anything is doing. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 12, and the Three per Cents.
211. Brazil Bonds are at 70. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 444 to 45i.
Shares are again looking firm, and holders are not
disposed to make sales unless at improved rates.
