CITY, QUARTER TO TH.LE
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 3,500 bales
were American, ut 4id. to 61d. per lb. American
was *d. per lb. higher than on Friday last, but Surat,
though firm, had not advanced. Railway Shares were
dull in the morning, but improved subsequently.
Trade is expected to revive shortly, and there Rill be
more sales this mouth to test the strength of the markets
for produce. In the meantime we may hope for some
improvement in the demand for manufactures.
The express in anticipation of the overland mail is
announced as having arrived, and the accounts are g►ve❑
in another column of 7he Sue.
It is satisfactory to hear, by nearly every mail from
the United States, of the increasing prosperity of the
local Governments in arrears to their foreign creditors.
We are informed that " the operation of the taxation
system recently adopted by the Legislature of Ohio has
been so favourable that a sinking fund of nearly fifty
per cent. of the revenue derived from the public works
can be set apart this year for the extinguishment of the
State debt. The increase in taxable property in the
State is so rapid that in a tew years we have
no doubt the entire net income from the public
works can every year be aided to the sinking
fund for the payment of the State debt. The
income from the mill tax for the general revenue, from
the 51 mill tax for the State debt, and from the one-
half mill tai for schools, in 1846, was 998,509 dolls ,
and in 1847, 1,202,528 dolls., showing an increase this
year of 204,019 dolls. The tax levied for the purpose
of raising revenue for the payment of the in-
terest on the State debt, and the net income
of the public works, in 1846, left a surplus of 622
dolls., after paying the interest. Again, it is announced
that the Lower Rouse of the Legislature of Indiana has
passed a Bill authorising the Auditor and State Trea-
surer to borrow of the State Bank of Indiana 95,000
dollars, at 6 per cent., to meet the payment of interest
due January Ist, 1841, on :State bonds—the sum bor-
rowed to be repaid by the let of April, 1848.
An arrival from Adelaide, South Australia, furnishes
dates of Sept. 18. The question of mining royalties
engaged chief attention. Some revolting acts of can-
nibalism had been traced to the natives, one or two of
the women having destroyed their children.
The English Funds have been rather lower again to-
day, and money stock seems to be more ofered. The
extent of business done is not large, and probably a
good proportion of the surplus money intended for in-
vestment in the Funds has already come into the market.
Consols have been quoted 119 i to 881 for present trans-
fer, and 891 to 89 for Account- The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 90} to 90j, and the
Three per Cents. 891 to 89k. Bank stock is worth 200
to 202, and East India Stock is worth 241 to 243. Ex-
chequer-bills have been quoted 345. to 395. premium.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have been at
about previous rates generally, but we must except
Spanish Bonds, which are dull. The Five per Cents.
are quoted 21-1, and the Three per Cents. 31i ; Mexican
have been marked 181 ; Chilian, 91i, and Peruvian, 40.
Brazil Bonds have been at 85; Russian Stock has
realised 109 to 1091. Dutch Two-and a-Half per
Cents. have been at 54 to I.
Railway Shares have been firm again.
