MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
C/ /'Y, C.T AIZ 7'ER TO THREE.
There was a steady market for trios,, descriptions of
Cotton at Liverpool on S4turday, and previous prices
a ere fully supported. Th, sales were estimsted at
4,500 bales, and comprised about. 3,500 bal9s American at
2M. to 541(1. ; 100 Pernanis and Mararhurns at 441 to
41,1. ; and 300 Surats at 231. to 3P.—The
zdiotre Market was steldy at previous quotatons.
The Overland Mail from India brings rate and in-
teresting intelligence. The opinion entertained of the
political state of aff.irs is certainly not very favourable,
a great deal of trouble being yet expected in the Pun-
jaub, and no doubt at a severe cost of life and treasure,
though no fear is entertained of the issue. The cow'
ieerteal news is satisfactory, for although there was no
great activity in the market<, they were in a healthy
condition, and business was expected to be soon resumed
with more spirit, holidays having checked it.
The West India advices are of much the same tenor
as for some time past. The weather was favourable,
and the wages of the lahourers had in many instances
been reduced, without murmuring on their part, but the
want of capital and supplies from home, for carrying on
the estates, was severely felt. Reduction of the Crovern•
ment expenditure was strenuously and most reasonably
urged.
The stormy weather of last night has delayed the ar-
rival of the Belgian mail.
The following is a very interesting report upon the state
of Manchester trade, sent to us, by Mr. G. F. Mandlefo
of the late firm of Ferguson, Taylor, and Co.:—
" Although the present period of the year is a time
when business in this market usually experiences a lull,yet
the transactions of the month just closed have been on a
sufficiently large scale to give a satisfactory activity to
sellers. The extremely low prices which ware current
when I addressed you with my last report, and
the readiness with which stocks were submitted
at those rates by the holders, afforded, as
I expected they would, strong inducements
to merchants to invest, and the consequence, has been
a very considerable business, by which stocks, even
previously moderate, have been considerably lightened,
and the market left bare of some varieties of fabrict•
Spinners and manufacturers have, in many instance',
entered in to contracts which will forestal their production
for several weeks to come, and, in this condition of the
market, they have been emboldened to demand ad*
vances of such importance as to check further opera-
tions. The rise in the value of the raw staple, it must,
however, be admitted, rendered this movement imps'
rative on the . part of producers. Since Tues-
day last there has been rather less doing.
but the advanced prices are yet firmly demanded, and
it remains to be seen whether business is to be resumed
at these quotations, or whether a relaxation in the rates
of Cotton, and a limitation of demand for goods,
will induce manufacturers to accept engage-
ments at the former currency. It appears to be
quite certain that the condition of Foreign and out
Colonial Markets affords no encouragement for ship•
ments of goods laid in at much above the ruling prices
of to- day, and the only hope for running 06
the large production of our mills is to be
found in the present low value of our textile
fabrics, forcing markets for their vend. The probability
of an abundant supply of Cotton, of which more than the
usual proportion is likely to find its way to this country,
is against the supposition that a material advance can be
obtained."
The English Stock Market is exceedingly quiet this
morning, with an appearance of firmness notwithstand-
ing. Consols have been i for transfer, and 87 i
for account. The accounts from France BO
keep alive the feeling of uncertainty in
respect to the issue of the Presidential election. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86110
and the Three per Cents., 86k Bank Stock is about
188 to 190, and India Stock has improved to 239. Ex'
chequer-spills (March) are 41s. to 445. premium, and
India Bonds, 38s. premium.
The Foreign Securities are as dull as the English
investments. Spanish Five per Cents. have been lit,
and the Three per Cents. 24i, Portuguese Four pet
Cents. have realised 24 to 4-. Brazilian Stock is worth
73k; Mexican has been done at 21i, and Peruvian at
36 to 37. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. are no-
minally 47 to 48.
The Railway Share Market is very inactive, but the
quotations generally are firm.
