MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000
to 8,000 bales, one•half of which was on speculation.
The market was not so active, but there was no change
of prices. Shares were not brisk.
It is stated in accounts received this morning that
the probabilities are against the Great Britain steam-
ship being gut out of the difficult position in which she
is placed, and that this fine ship must
become a wreck. We trust that this anti-
cipation may prove to be entirely unfounded, but,
looking to the change in the weather, the extreme
length of the vessel, and the quantity of water she
draws, the chances are certainly against her being
got off, unless with very considerable damage.
The wool sales have just been terminated, and we are
much pleased to report that they have gone off satis-
factorily. For wool of good quality an advance has
been obtained. But upon all hands it is admitted that
the wools are sent home too full of burrs and prickle.
The colonial flock masters ought seriously to consider
these complaints, and attend more to the condition of
the staple they send to this country. The Cape wools
come over very well, and, as a matter of course, better
prices are realised for them.
The Public Securities are very dull to-day in conse-
quence of the thin 4tendance, this being a strict holiday
with the Jews. Consols for present Transfer have been
marked 951 , and for Time 951 -a. Exchequer-bills
have maintained the improvement to 14s. and 17s.
premium.
The Foreign Stocks are maintained at fully the pre-
vious rates. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26k,
and the Three per Cents. 37 to Mexican Bonds have
been quoted 25k.
Shares are quiet, except Blackwall, in which a good
deal of business has been doing, under the impression
that the Birmingham or Eastern Counties Company
may lease the line.
