MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The business done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday
amounted to 7,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
though steady was dull. 900 Egyptian sd. to 73Ad., 150
Pernams 61/Bd. to 61%d., 700 Surat ad. to 31Ad., and 5,250
American 30. to sVid.
There was a very quiet market for shares, but prices gene.
rally'were steady.
The ship William Stoveld furnishes papers of August 21,
from Port Phillip. The squatting question was still
that to which most attention was directed, and it
was doubtful whether any regulation could be made
satisfactory to the pastoral interest, if due allowance
be not made for the privations they undergo in
fostering the real advancement of the colony, while promoting
their own. The revenue returns for 1844 appear to be lees
than those of 1843, but this was met by a reduction of ex-
penditure. Wheat at Sydney had risen to 14/. per ton.
Accounts of November 13 from Graham's Town state that
it was found necessary to keep the troops up to a strong num-
ber in the Colesberg district, so disaffected were the tanners
still. The Lieutentant-Governer of .Natal, it is stated, would
soon have very few but natives to rule, for trekking bad
commenced among the farmers.
The American advices continue to be tolerably favourable
in respect to trading matters; but no one seems to like the
proceedings in Congress. It is true there are many of our
merchants who still contend that " there will be no war."
but it is quite impossible, we must contend, that all this
furious declamation, and voting of precipitate measures,
should go, on without leading to serious results.
The Public Securities have not been affected to the extent
anticipated by the American news, probably because some
parties anticipated as much. The market, however, is not
buoyant, and there is snore disposition to Bear than to spe-
culate for a rise. Consols have been 94% %, but are now
941 At ; Consols for the Account from 943 and 95, have
dropped to 941/. Exchequer-bills have been 20s. to 225.
premium • Bank Stock has been marked 206 to 1/2.
Spanish Three per Cents have been dull at 39, Mexican
at 30k, Chilian at 99k, Brazilian at 83, aid Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents 59} to 60.
The railway views of Government are all against new
scrips, and they are generally lower. The registered
shares will support their ground better.
