MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, (21—ARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to
5,000 bags. without any change in prices, and with a steady
market. The Share Market was closed.

There are no arrivals in the City this morning. Business
here is at present in a very inactive state, and is likely to
remain so for some days until the real ba:ancts of the
commercial year just past can be nearly ascertained,
and arrangements made for the future prosecution
of mercantile transactions. From the very few notices of
dissolutions of partnerships, which at this season of by-gone
years have been very frequent, it may fairly be inferred that
the balances, generally speaking, have been in favour of a
continuance of operations.

In the Funds this morning. there have not been many
bargains of importance. The market is rather heavy,
a few sales having been made, at from 94% to 945;
the present value is 941/2. A decline has taken place in
the Reduced Three per Cents., from 95* (the highest value
of Yesterday) to 94% %. The premium on Exchequer-bills
is also rather lower. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. has dropped from 97' to 96%. India Bonds remain
at 335. premium.
The principal feature in the transactions in the Foreign
Market to day is an improvement in the Brazilian Five per
Cents., from 8114 to 83, but at the present time the quota-
tion is again one per cent. lower. We have not heard of any
late accounts from Rio Janeiro to have caused this rise.
There is every reason to believe, however, that the financial
condition of the Brazils is most satisfactory. Buenos Ayres
Bonds have been sold at 4114 ; Mexican at 3134 ; Peruvian
at a fall from 411 to 41 ; Russian at 1121 A ; Spanish for the
Account at 39, ex-dividend; and the Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 6014.
In the Railway Shares there hes not been any considerable
amount of business done to-day. The heaviness in the British
Funds has tended to damp the market to some extent. The
corrected list of prices annexed will exhibit the variations of
the day.
