MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 1
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a quiet but steady market for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday, sales about 4,000 bales. A moderate
business was done in Shares. The market generally was firm.
We understand that the friends of free-trade.are about to
celebrate the passing of the corn and tariff measures by a
public dinner in Covent-garden Theatre. This afternoon a
preliminary meeting will be held in the theatre to make
arrangements. It is expected from the number of indivi-
duals, who have expressed a desire to aid the cause, that a
most numerous attendance will be given, and that the affair
will go off with the greatest Eclat.
There are accounts this morning from the West Indies,
brought by the Trinity Yacht in the very short period of
twenty-four days. This vessel has come over in a shorter
period than any of the mail-packet steamers have yet accom-
plished the voyage. The complaints of the planters were
still very general, and deep anxiety was manifested as to the
resolves of Parliament with respect to the sugar duties.
The principal part of the cargo of the Trinity Yacht consists
of 20,t;00 pine apples, said to be in first-rate condition.
From the Cape of Good Hope advices have been received
to-day, to the 16th May. The skirmishes between the troops
and the Kaffirs still continued, and generally terminated in
favour of the latter, but this did not prevent constant depreda-
tions, burning of home:teads, robbery of cattle, &c., owing to the
great extent of the frontier, and the fact that the military
arrangements for its defence were not in a complete state,
although very effective considering the force and stores at
the disposal of the Governor. There is an undoubted neces-
sity for early and ample reinforcements from England.
The Funds have been inactive this morning, and the at-
tendance of the dealers and others is but limited, owing to
the beautiful weather. Consols have been marked 95% to
to 96, being about the same for both Money and Time. Ex-
chequer-bills have just been quoted 15s. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 97%, %, and the
Three per Cents. 961,4. Bank Stock has been firm at
208 to 209.
The transactions in the Foreign market have been of mo-
derate extent, and there is not much fluctuation to notice.
Spanish Five per Cents. bring 204 ; and the Three per
Cents. 3614. Mexican Deferred Stock is dull, at 16%;
Equador at 3%; and Chilian Deferred at 50. Brazil Old
Bonds have been at. 86. Dutch Two -and-a-Half per Cents.
have been marked 59% to 60; and Russian are 112.
Railway Shares have been dull, and are rather flat again,
as the Bears are endeavouring to influence the market for the
settling day.
