MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, Q I RTER TO 7 HREE
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpoo
yesterday. Middling and inferior American qualities mere
held for prices rather against the buyers. Sales, 5,000
bales; American realised 34d. to sid. per lb. Railway
Shares were in good demand, and looking up.
The continental advices appear to be of very little in-
terestsin a commercial point of view. The great objects
of attention now are the cholera and the next harvest, 1
and the progress of the one is as unfavourable as that of
the other is cheering. The Corn market is lower again
this morning in Mark-lane.
One or two ship arrivals are announced from South
Australia, &c., but the dates are not later.
The Ainsterdamsche Couranl mentions that the Council
:of State had been assembled till midnight, and that the
subject of discussion was presumed to be a project of
law bearing upon the finances, containing the abolition
of existing excises, and the substitution of new means of
revenue.
Although it was considered almost a matter of cer-
tainty that the Bank of England would yesterday have
reduced the current rate of discount, the state of affairs
in Ireland is now held to justify a little reserve.
The fluctuation in Stocks has been very decided again
to-day. Consols opened well at 871 T, but have since
been 871 I, and are now 87i Bank Stock is worth
200, the highest price realised for a long time past.
Exchequer-bills have been 465. to 51s. premium. India
Bonds are 365. to 38s. premium. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 881 to 871.
The Foreign Securities are rather better in some in-
stances. Spanish Five per Cents. 124, and the Three
per Cents. 21i. Portuguese Four per Cents, are about
18 to 19. Mexican Bonds have been 17i, Grenada Ili,
and Chilian Three per Cents. 43. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, are 45i.
Shares are looking better. Great Southern awl
Western of Ireland are firmer among the rest.
