MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
12,000 bales, of which 2,00 were Egyptian anti 2,000
American, on speculation. Egyptian were kel
. per lb.
higher, and Brazil and Surat were sold at extreme
rates.—Shares were rather quiet.
Several of the shipowners and merchants connected
with the principal ports of the United Kingdom have
just formed a plan for extending the whale and seal
fisheries by British vessels. It is perfectly well known
that America, by a combination of circumstances, has of
late years outstripped us in consequence of
heavy losses individually sustained by those
British shipowners who have prosecuted the employment.
An institution similar to the one now proposed has been
already established abroad. "It is a vulgar error to
suppose (states the prospectus) that the ocean can be
depopulated, and in fact whales were never more abun-
dant than at present in the Arctic regions. The true
cause is, however, plain and indisputable. The trade
has proved unprofitable to individuals, simply because
by individuals it has almost necessarily been prosecuted
on too limited a scale." Accounts annually received
have afforded information of the great decrease of the
fisheries, but we were hardly prepared to find so large a
diminution of our shipping engaged in the trade or so
great an increase in that of the United States. From
official documents the results of experience and esti-
mates may be succinctly given as follow:
"So recently as the year 1821, the British whale
fisheries gave employment to 323 ships, of which 159
were engaged in the northern, and 164 in the southern
fishery. The to:al number now employed is only 85,
the northern fishery having dwindled to 44, and the
southern to 41 vessels. Simultaneously with this rapid
decline in the most enterprising branch of our commerce,
the whale fishery of the United States has advanced with
almost equal rapidity; the number of American whaling
ships, which in 1834 was 431, having increased in 1845
to no less than 735—a contrast as remarkable as it must
appear humiliating to the first maritime nation of the
world."
Should the undertaking succeed, as no doubt it must,
a large additional employment will be given to the
shipping interest and to the mariners of Great Britain.
There are not any advices from the British colonies
to-day.
A large amount of business has been transacted in the
British Securities to-day, especially for Money. Consols
for Account have been quoted only at 95k, for Money at
9.1 i, the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities at 931 to
94, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at
95i. The premium upon Exchequer-bills remains at
13s. to 16,. Bank Stock is dull at 2051. India Stock
has been sold at 2578.
The constant changes in the Ministry of Portugal
give a considerable instability' to the value of the Stock
of the country. To-day the prices are a trifle better-
-428 to 43 for the Account, The only business worth
notice to-day in the Foreign Market is, in Spanish at
in the Three per Cents, at 37 j-, '1- in Brazilian at
86i, in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 598,
and in the Four per Cent. Certificates at 918.
In the Railway Share Market a good deal of business
has been transacted. The latest prices at which pro-
perty of this kind has changed hands to-day are
annexed.
