I MONEY and COMMERCIAL N s NI
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool en
Saturday, the sales being 3,000 bales. Railway Shan
continued very dull, and there were no symptoms of
improvement. Prices were all lower.
In one of the communications received 11 the last
arrival from America, it is stated, after some remarks
upon general topics—
" Meantime all is quiet, easy, and prosperous in tie
United States. The termination of the Mexican war,
albeit leaving behind it a debt of some sixty or seventy
millions of dollars now ascertained, to say nothing of
the endless contingent claims which follow in the path
of war, is taken very quietly. It was a war that never
pressed immediately upon our resources, nor interrupted
our commerce, whileit in fact invigorated many branches
of him° manufacture, so that the peace has not caused
any marked change in affairs or rejoicings among the
people. Mexico itself seems to promise something more
of stability in its Government than we have been latterly
accustomed to expect."
The accounts from Schleswig and Copenhagen state
that business was improving since the termination of the
blockade, and that the ships released were gradually re-
turning to their destinations. Trade was also rather
brisker in some of the other continental cities.
The rate of Exchange at Hamburgh cn London, last
Friday, rose from 13 61 to 13 6i, and paper was scarce.
Bills on L'aris also were wanted, and likewise on Vienna.
Gold was at 4361. Not much was doifig in Stocks and
Shares.
let Berlin, on the 14th instant, the funds were flatter;
but at Vienna, on the 13th, there was an improvement,
tor although home affairs were unsettled, the adviecs
from Paris concerning Italy were more satisfactory.
The Corn Market is firm to-day.
The accounts from Manchester state that trade last
seek was duller.
The accounts from Portsmouth of the dispatch some-
what suddenly of an increased force of marines to
Ireland, has caused an unsettled feeling again in the
City, coming, as it does, upon a previous and very per-
ceptible state of flatness and inanition. The reports
of the potato crops are likewise not by any means
satisfactory, and, although in foreign politics there
is nothing new, and Paris is represented to be
more tranquil than usual,- the increased and pressing
pecuniary wants of the French Government, and the
great arrears of taxes, show how far matters are
from being in a flourishing, or even a safe position. Ii
we add to these causes the absence from town of many
of our leading merchants and moneyed men, we shall
have explained the causes of the existing dullness.
Influenced by the causes above noted, the Funds are
heavy, though with scarcely a bargain doing, either by
sale or purchase, to test their strength. Consols base
been 851 to 86 for present transfer, and 86 to 86i for
October. Exchequer-bills of March have been 295. pre-
mium, and India Bonds of 1,0001., 28s. premium. East
India Stock has been at 235.
In the Foreign Market there is but one security in
which bargains are officially quoted, viz., Chilian at 86
to 87k. Nominally, Spanish Three per Cents. are 22i
to 234 •, Portuguese Four per Cents. 214. to 22i • Mexi-
can, 164 to 17; Brazilian, 74 to 76 ; and Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. 44. i to 45k.
The Railway Share Market is rather better to-day,
with a fair business doing in the lines which recently
were most depressed.
