MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy.
Sales 3,500 bales, all to the trade. American realised
4#d. to sad. per lb. Former rates, were generally
maintained, though buyers had a slight advantage in
some instances. Rails ay Shares still had a downward
tendency; the business doing was small, end prices were
heavy.
The accounts from abroad received to•day.are of an
interesting character. Private communications from
German merchants state that from the support which
Austria hopes to receive at the hands of the German
Confederation, there was some reason to doubt whether
the terms proposed by England and France, if at all
liberal to Lombardy, will be accepted, Marshal
Radetsky being now in a position to dictate.
The possible calamity of an European war
may however have a great influence, and we have a
right to look to the brightest side. How the Danish
matter will eventuate no one can tell, the letters re-
ceived stating that active preparations for war are still
prosecuted.
There is mention made in the advises received to-day
from Belgium, of an intended rapprochement between
Holland and Prussia, by menus of a commercial
treaty. Such, it is conceived, must prove highly
injurious to Belgium, which will have to regret
the non cultivation of stricter relations of trade with
Holland, according to the apparent inclination of the
latter power, arid even the offers made. The premiums
established by the French Republic, in its .decree of the
10th June last, upon manufactures exported, are likely
to produce the effect alµ aye to be anticipated in such
cases. The Zollverein States, it is reported, will raise
materially the duties upon textile and other French
manufactures, and as early, it is said, as next month.
The Corn Market,is likely to rule duller to-morrow,
and the return of fine weather operates decidedly upon
confidence in mercaetile circles.
The Consul Account is being arranged to-day, and
there is a very heavy contango, the money prices not
being higher. than 86H, while for the September
Account 86i to 87 has been paid. The pay-
ments take place to-morrow. The weather and
foreign politics will now rule the market, and
possibly act in antagonism. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 87i to Exchequer-
bills have been 40s. to 425. premium for those of June,
and India Bonds 28s. to 325. premium. During the
account Consols have been es high as 898, and as low
as 85k.
The Foreign Securities are quite neglected. Spanish
Three per Cents. have been 21k, Mexican 161 to 168,
and ,Braailian 71. ])utch Four per Cents. have been
69 to 69i.
Railway Shares may perhaps be called a little steadier,
but there is very little doing, and no appearance of
buoyancy. These, however, are securities which ought
to be directly affected by fine weather.
