MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool 3-e-terday was without
alteration. Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 bale, .early all American.
Shares were rather dull.
There was one incident noticed at t annual meeting of
the General Shipowner's Society, ha.o at the Hall of Com-
merce, which deserves a notice, and aso reprobation. We
allude to a most unseemly influx of a number of persons into
the hall, while Lord George Bentinck was addressing the
meeting, who in the most ungentlemanly manner created a
noise by frivolities, and by hissing. We are not among
those who would wish to see public feeling thus demon-
strated in opposition to public men's speeches, where
all is fair and above board. In this case, too,
the intruders were not shipowners. It was a meeting called
expressly by the shipowners of Great Britain, and the in-
truders had no right there. Among some of the most noisy.
of the latter, were not a few "stags," and other well known
gentlemen of the same kidney, who locate from eleven to
three principally in the vicinity of Capel-court, the Auction
Mart, &c. Besides, had those persons been present early, they
would have heard the chairman distinctly affirm that the
appearance of his Lordship at that meeting was wholly irre-
spective of his political position elsewhere, but as Member
for a sea-port he; was anxious to learn how best he could aid
measures that might increase the prosperity of the best
bulwarks of our country. When. his Lordship finished hie-
address, the ill-bred lot rushed out in just as unseemly a
manner as they entered. Tile chairman did not think him-
self justified in calling such intruders to order.
There has been a favourable impression excited by the
news received this morning of the American tariff having
passed.
Among the items of Canadian intelligence, none are more
important than those which relate to the crops, and upon
this subject, under date of July 27th, from Quebec, we are
advised as follows:
" The potato crops have been suffei ing by drought, and in
some places the stalks were fading. Generally they still look
well. Some early sown ones are as large as an egg, and fit
or the table. There is no certainty of the blight having as
yet appeared in this part of the country. Neither has the
fly been observed in the early sown spring wheat, which is
now changing colour. The small samples of fall wheat
sown are nearly fit for the sickle, and have met with no
accident.
"The reports from the district of Montreal give reason
to believe that the fly is doing considerable injury to the
spring wheat. The sort called Black Sea wheat is not
exempt. It is stated that the blight has made its appear-
ance in the potato fields in some part of the district of
Montreal. The barley, which has been sown to a great
extent since the failure of the wheat crops for fourteen
years past, is said to be good and ripe; the oats abundant;
but the hay crop light.
"The markets continue high excepting for flour, the supply
from the westward having been great, and the uncertainty
of the markets in England with the late change in the corn-
laws having given little hope of a high price. Much will
depend on the result of the harvests in America and Europe
for the present year, on which there must be, fur some time
to come, a state of uncertainty."
Accounts of May 23, from the Cape of Good Hope, state
that our troops had had some dashing affairs with the Kafirs
on the frontier, and that the colonists themselves exhibited
the utmost intrepidity and energy. In fact, great as the loss
of property must be, the tide is now turning against the
Kafirs, and they will, no doubt, soon be wholly subdued.
Unfortunately they can but make poor amends in kind for the
injury done to the farmers.
The Consol Market has receded a fraction this morning,
and the market altogether looks gloomy. The American
news is of a satisfactory character, taken altogether. For
account the only price is 95%, but for immediate transfer
the quotation has fallen from 95% to 95%. The Three per
Cents. Reduced were heavy, at 961 ; and the New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents, at 973/4. The premium upon Ex-
chequer-bills has rallied to a slight extent, having been
quoted at 12s. For India Bonds the current value is 20s.
premium, and for East India Stock, 259.
Brazilian Stock has improved this morning from 88 to 90,
Mexican to 24 for Account, and Portuguese Four per Cents.
for Account, from 42 to 431/.-,. Russian Bonds have been sold
at 112%. Spanish Consols are the same as to value as they
were yesterday, 253/4. The Three per Cents• are rather flat at
361%, the Dutch Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 98, the Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 59.3/4, and the Four per Cents.
at 94%.
The market for the Railway Shares has no peculiar feature
about it this morning. Prices are not firm. Great Westerns
and Brightons have improved.
