MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a dull and flat market for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, and prices were id. to fri. per lb. lower
than last week for American. Sales 3,000 ; all to the
trade.—Shares were again firm.
There seems no longer a doubt as to the intention, if
not the actual determination, of the Zollverein Con-
ference to raise the duties upon several articles, but
especially cotton yarn.
After a long period of distress, and probably much
mismanagement in the conducting of affairs in the
West Indies, it is satisfactory to find that capitalists are
turning their attention to this fruitful source for the
employment of capital. Nobody can doubt but that
with energy the produce of the soil in those dis-
tant parts may become much more productive than
has hitherto been the case ; and in order to give
every advantage which engineering skill affords, a
Company was formed some months since, and is now
sanctioned by the Legislature of British Guiana, for
laying down a line of railway in Demerara. The names
which appear upon the provisional committee give very
good earnest that it is intended promptly to carry out
this useful measure. For further details we may refer
our readers to what has appeared in the advertising de-
partment of The Sun.
It we were desirous of multiplying proofs in regard to
the certainty of cur obtaining ample supplies of
food, we could occupy from day to day successive
columns of The Sun with the information
daily transmitted to us from the most disinterested
sources. Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, however,
raise in their report for the present month a question as
to the effect of the imports upon the bullion of the Bank
of England, which we consider has not been diminished
so much by imports of provisions, as by the demand for
money in the provinces, where railway works are most
actively prosecuted. The following are one or two ex-
tracts bearing upon the food question:--" It appears by
the London Gazette, that since the beginning of
September, the quantiy of wheat sold at
country markets exceeds by 22 per cent. that
of last year during the same period, which,
with about 4,500,000 quarters of foreign (including, flour
and meal), brought into the market for consumption
since Ist July, shows that the supply in the granaries
throughout the kingdom must be very large; and this,
with from four to five million quarters expected from
America and Europe, where the crops have been abun-
dant, excepting in France, the Netherlands, and the
south-western parts of Germany, including a
part of Prussia, will derange our money sys-
tem, by draining the Bank of England of
several millions of bullion and coin ; indeed,
1,427,7151. have left the Bank in the last eight weeks,
and we look for its going at much about the same rate
during the next nine months, from the number of ships
already chartered for corn to various parts of the world.
" By the last letters from New York we learn that the
superabundance of wheat, barley, and maize is be-
yond their requirements to the amount of twelve
million quarters ; but' that the cotton crop
will be little more than one half of last year's quan-
tity ; it is variously estimated from 1,200,000 to
1,900,000 bales; should the frost set in early the former
would most likly be the result ; on the contrary, the
latter number of bales might be near the amount. It is
expected, however, that about 150,000 tons of shipping
will be thus released, and find employment in the flour,
corn, and provision trade. There is a marked improve-
ment in the demand for dry goods, which we hope and
believe will materially benefit the manufacturing districts
in this country."
There is still an improving market for the Public
Securities, and- Consols have touched 948 a for Money,
and 944 1 for Time. Exchequer-bills have been at lls.
to 131. prem., being fuller quotations likewise. Bank
Stock is worth 2044- to 205. The New Three -and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 958 to 953. Money is easy in
the Stock Exchange, and there is a better feeling
generally.
The Foreign Investments:are for the most part still
very quiet. Spanish Three per Cents. bring 261 3-, and
the Five per Cents., 373 8. Brazil New Bonds are 84.
The suspension of the agency for the Republic of
Mexico, although the conversion is to be pro-
ceeded with, has not had any particular effect upon
the value of the Bonds, which are marked 213 to 2214.
Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents. have been 593, and the
Four per Cents. 914 3.
Shares are looking up still. North Staffords are in
decided favour again.
