The Cotton Illarket at Liverpool on Saturday was
firm, wit ;out any alteration in prices. The salts were
estimated at about 7,000 to 8,000 bales, and comprised
6,000 to 7,000 American at 31 to 6d., of which 1,000
were on specuiaton ; 200 Egyptian sold at sid. to 6d. ;
400 Surats at 2id. to 24(1, and 150 Sea Island at 7d.
to 9d. In Railway Shares very little business was done,
and prices were heavy.
The aecounts received from the manufacturing dis-
tricts are rather favourable again to-day, and it will be
of material importance should a moderate share of acti-
vity be kept up until such time as the preparations for
the spring trade commence. If we cannot depend upon
large orders from the Continent, there may be a partial
restoration of commerce in which we shall have some
participation, and the American, Indian, and Australian
growers finding ie. us steady consumers of their produce,
though not at high prices, will be enabled to deal with us
in return. It the Continent be not in a position to take
much of us, it is likewise to be remembered that its
means are crippled for a time in competing with us in
the production of manufactured articles.
The Corn Market is very flat to-day, and there is
again a full supply of foreign.
The Indian advices inform us of very serious losses
at sea, and, judging by the long list of casualties,
especially reported from China, the. insurers here,
whether companies or individuals, will probably be
severe sufferers. It may be doubted whether the exist-
ing low rates of premium upon marine risks afford a fair
margin of profit even to the wealthy and experienced
parties engaged in this extensive branch of business, but
the competition in monied circles is now as keen almost
as in the labour market, and we only wonder that capi-
talists do not emigrate to the colonies as well as men of
skill and strength.
In consequence of a fire which broke out on Friday
night in one of the chimneys of Lloyd's Merchanti-
room, art inquiry is now in progress with the view of
ascertaining the cause, and some of the leading men in
the City are assisting. The mere idea of such a splendid
building having been placed in jeopardy, justifies a strict
investigation. At the hour of, our writing this, no de-
cision has been come to.
There is still a rising market for Consols, and the
advance is fairly per cent. upon Saturday's quotations.
The opening rates were 87 to it, and a rapid improve-
ment has brought up the value to 871 -a. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86/ to 861,
and the Three per Cents. 86 to /. A large Bear ac-
count is stated to have been bought in. East India
Stock is heavy at a decline to 232. Exchequer-bills
have been 375. to 405., and India Bonds 295. premium.
In Foreign Stwks the transactions have not been
large, but there is a firmer market for those in which
business has been dune. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have realised 241 to 251, and Brazilian 731. Mexican
Stock has rallied to 211 1. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 11 to,, and tee Three per Cents. 231 to t.
Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. are 46 to 46t.
The Railway Share Market does not improve with the
Funds, though certainly firmer on the whole. Eastern
Counties are very flat, in consequence of a rumour that
the dividend will not be maintained. Caledonian are
steady; Great Western. Brighton, and Midland rather
higher; and the York lines still somewhat heavy.
