MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there
was no alteration. Business was limited, but the de-
mand was steady. Sales, 4,000 bales. Railway Shares
were quiet.
The state of the Money-market is very good, irre-
spective of the feeling which political events naturally
excites. The bankers have ample funds, and are willing
to employ them liberally upon paper of good houses,
while the expectation that money will be received
here to some extent ere lung from the conti-
nent, which is much more likely than Eng-
land to be affected by political events in France,
is sure to act in some measure as a set off. The course
of trade must necessarily be interrupted, and there is in
this respect a less favourable prospect than we could
wish for the national revenue.
The public sales of wool have been brought to a close,
and the advance has been Id. to 21 per lb. on Colonial.
There is no mail this morning from Antwerp.
The Funds opened more firmly this morning, bu
have receded since, upon a few sales made by
leading brokers, in the absence, however, of any news
of importance. It yet remains to be seen whether a
decline will bring forward buyers from among the banks
and the public, who must have large reserves. Consols
have been 824 to 811 for Transfer, and 811 to 82i for
Account. Exchequer-bills are up to 17s. prem., a con-
vincing evidence of the abundance of money. Bank
Stock has ranged from 191 to 1941. The New Three
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 83} to 821.
In the Foreign Securities the transactions have been
at very low prices again. Spanish Three per Cents.
24i ; and the Five per Cents. 13} to ; Mexican Stock
has been at 15 to 15 ; Russian Bonds are 97 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 41} to 43i ; the
lowest rates yet paid.
A better tone prevails in the Share Market as regards
the English lines, but there is a further depression to
be noted in the market value of the French and Belgian
railways.
