MONEY and COMM ELiCI. A la IN IS IV S.
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 lIREE
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales. There was no change in
pric,s, and 4,000 bales of American went at 31d. to 5:0.
per lb. Railway Shares were flat, and prices were
rather lower.
In the continental advises received to-day we find
very little news of interest, beyond what partakes of a
political character, and which is more appropriately
discussed in another column of The Sun. From Paris
we have no further information on financial matters,
and there is some interest felt to learn how the Govern-
ment will succeed in raising money. The great capi-
talists will, no doubt, endeavour to support the, money
market; but whether they will be inclined tu risk fur-
ther advances in view of the possibility of French inter-
vention in the affairs of Italy, remains yet to be seen.
There is a matter which we trust 411 our contempo-
raries will unite with us in bringing under public con-
demnation, viz., the transmission of forged news by
means of the electric telegraph. It is high time the
company, for its own respectability, should adopt strin-
gent precautions to check each disgraceful and too often
repeated practices, since it is obvious that with very
little exertion the object could be accomplished. Yes
terday the City was thrown into a high state ut excite-
ment by the forged news, and at the west-end, as we
are informed, there were similar scenes of bustle and
scrambling to obtain copies of The Sun newspaper, es-
pecially atter the official contradiction given in Parlia-
ment. All reliance upon telegraphic news will be
destroyed unless the company affords a better guarantee
for its authenticity, and we should be sorry to find even
the shadow of probability given to the idea of interested
motives which the letter of the Timis Liverpool agents
would seem to have inspired. The directors of so im-
portant a concern as the Electric Telegraph Company
should be above suspicion.
As was to be expected sow the weather is looking
finer, the accounts relative to the potato crops are be-
coming more satisfactory, and probably a few days will
occasion the recovery of nearly all that have shown in-
cations of disease. The Corn market is kept steady
to-day certainly, but business has been dull,
The Funds have been quieter to-day, but were natu-
rally rather better when the news of yesterday was
ascertained to be false. Still the anxiety for the
coming struggle is too great to allow of investments at
the comparatively high rates which are now current,
unless there is every assurance of Ireland remaining
peaceable, even when subdued. People of cool judg-
ment have no apprehension of ultimate consequences,
and the abundance of money certainly induces people
to run some risk. Much, however, will depend upon
the continuance of a supply of money stock such as we
have had for some days past, and as is supposed on account
of the Irish banks, for it seems there has been a smart
run for gold at Dublin. Consol2 opened at 861 f for
transfer, and have since been 854 ja while for '• time"
they touched 861, and were last marked 854 i. The
unfunded debt is very heavy at 325. to 345. for the March
bills, and 295. to 345. premium for those of June. East
India Bonds have been 31s. to 335. premium. Bank
Stock is steady at la& The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents, have been 864 and 86.
The Foreign Market is very inactive. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been marked 11-t; Portuguese Old
Bonds, 65; Mexican, 1741 to 4; 4and Grenada, 11f
Equador Stock is li to 2.
Railway Shares have been very quiet. Caledonian
have advanced. Eastern Counties are steady. South-
Western are flatter. Midland much the same. North
Stafford are dull. The French Shares are about the
same as yesterday.
