MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was fairly ac-
tive. Sales 6,000 to 7,000 bales, at full rates.—Shares have
been steady.
There is a useful intimation made in a communication
from the French Consul at Copenhagen to his
ilevernment, for the guidance of shippers to the
Baltic ports, &c. ' It appears to be the custom of the
Danish authorities to charge the sound dues ad valorem On
the merchandize in cargo, and if the invoices specify, as is
stated to be the case, at least in many instances with Prench
gands, the quantity and not the value, the Danish Customs'
officers affix an arbitrary value of their own—a manifest in-
jury to the shipper, which, as is contended, may be avoided.
By private ship there have recently been some rather con-
siderable parcels of gold received, and it may be inferred
that the balance of trade with that country is rather favour-
able to us.
There is to be a new experiment made, under favour of
the amended tariff, which cannot but prove of great interest
to both the manufacturers and consumers of this country.
Mr. James Wilkinson is to offer for public competition a
quantity of French de laine fabrics, plain and printed, to-
gether with many other articles, and there will be an
ouportunity afforded of judging to the fullest extent whe-
ther our manufacturers have anything to fear from foreign
competition in the home market. As regards the plain
goods, the skill of the Manchester houses will soon give them
an enhanced value, which must be preferable to
the introduction of printed fabrics ; though in our
opinion, even if the latter come in extensively, there
will be advantages rather than injury to be anticipated
as regards both France and England, since with the former
we may hope for some reciprocation of the new and enlight-
ened principles whieh our Legislature has boldly introduced
as an example to the world at large.
The Public Securities have been rather weaker this morn-
ing, and so far the advanced prices 'seem to have tempted
sales. There is, however, not a great deal doing. Consols
for Money have been quoted 95 to 96, and for Account
94% to 1,4. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been Os.
to 135., being rather lower. Bank Stock has alternated from
2081,4 to 20914 Tire New Three• and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 97% to 981,x.
The Foreign Investments have been dull, but there has
been an improvement in the quotations. Spanish Five per
Cents. have realised 26 to 26%; Mexican have been
steadier at 261 ; Brazilian are as high as 90; and Dutch
Four per Cents. are marked 941% to %.
Railway Shares are tolerably firm, and some of the spe-
culators are paying "continuations," in anticipation of a
rise.
