MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet
but firm. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales. American
realised aid. to 54d• per lb. Railway Shares generally
were supported, and, in some instances, were higher.
The business done was limited, and generally there were
not willing sellers.
The Corn Market has been firm to-day at Monday's
rates, and it is probable that it may so continue until the
harvest is secured. In the meantime, the rain that has
fallen cannot be concluded to hive done any harm.
Many consider it to have proved even beneficial, and a
week or two of sunshine would serve as a powerful im-
pulse to trade, and restore confidence in the Money
Market, provided our Ministers keep clear of foreign
embroilments.
The house to which we have already adverted as being
in difficulties is that of Alston, Bevan and Co., in the
Valparaiso and La Plata trade. The liabilities will
probably be to some amount, but a portion of the bills,
which are the immediate cause of the embarrassment,
have been provided for, "in case of need," and duly
met. Messrs. Dunlop, Rowan, and Co., of Glasgow,
have likewise suspended, and the liabilities are said to
amount to 200,000/.
We must recommend to attention a very useful little
publication, entitled the " Emigrant's Guide," by Air.
J. C. Bryne, who has resided twelve years iu the coley.
nies, and who, besides tables of wages, expense of out-
fits, &c., has afforded much useful information concern-
ing the climate, resources, and prospects of the respec-
tise countries.
In the Cuntinental advises received to-day there ap-
pears to be nothing of special interest, and the Irish in-
surrection is looked upon as being wholly suppressed.
The following observations by Messrs M‘Nair, Green-
how, and Irving, of Manchester, are rather favourable in
respect to the trade of that place. "The indications of
returning improvement in the trade of this distric:
have at last, we are happy to say, assumed
a more practical character ; not so much, however,
as regards any material additional gain realizable by
spinners and manufacturers generally, as in the exist-
ence of a demand surpassing very considerably in extent
that of any which has prevailed for some time past.
" From the commencement to aboutahe third week of
the month, the market was characterised by much ani-
mation. Since then it has become gradually more quiet,
accompanied with an indisposition on the part of
buyers to operate whilst the condition of Ireland
and the unsettled state of matters on the con-
tinent remain as they are. The weather too not being
su favourable as could be wished is beginning to origi-
nate anxiety with respect to the approaching harvest.
There are rumours likewise (most likely very ex •
aggerated) in circulation respecting the reappearance of
disease in the potato crop. Cloth and twist have ad-
vanced. The stocks of goods are generally light."
The following is part of a table from the Bankers'
Magazine, completed by ourselves up to yesterday, with
some remarks from the same source:-
18th February, 24th March, lit August,
1848. 1848. 1848.
Dutch 2i per Cents
Dutch 4 per Cent. Certificates 55i ... 61 ... 69
Russian Bonds, 5 per Cents lll ... 87 ... 100
Belgian Bonds, 4i per Cents 9O -. 58 ... 68
French Rentes, 5 per Cents.
French Rentes, 3 per Cents.
Bank of France Shares 3,190 ... 1,600 ... 1,675
" The Securities of the French Government stand in
by far the worst position in this list, nor is it likely that
this position will be improved by the present financial
dilemma of the Republican Government. The original
loan of 50,000,000 of francs by the Bank of France in
March last, was recently extended to 150,000,000 francs.
Even this respectable sum is now exhausted, and the
Minister of Finance has, during the last few days, ob-
tained the consent of the Assembly to a project for a
new loan, by the creation of five per cent. rentes, equal
to an annual charge of 13,131,000 francs. These reeks
are to be sold to the public at the rate of 75 francs 24
cents for every 100 francs of rente. Supposing the whole
of the reotes to be disposed of at this rate, the result
would be that a gross loan of about 200,000,000 francs
(say 8,000,0001.) would be raised at the rate of very
nearly 6i per cent. per annum. The forfeited deposits
upon the last loan are to be available in the subscription,
and with the help of this resource it is just possible
that the French people may be able and willing to en-
trust their new Government with the money. Nobody
seems to expect that foreign capitalists will extensively
interfere. The escape of the railways from confiscation
is somewhat too fresh in the memory of the creditors of
France to permit such an expectation."
The public securities are quiet this morning, but the
opinion is favourable to an advance, provided the
weather continues fine. Indeed were foreign politics
not unsettled we should have a very decided and speedy
change for the better, while sunshine prevails. Consols
have been 874 f, and are now about 874 t. Bank Stock is
1971. Exchequer-bills have been 33a. premium for
those of June, and East India Bonds 345. The New
Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 87i to 87k.
Money is very plentiful, but there has been a little
stock sold for present transfer.
There is nothing doing in Foreign Stocks. Mexican
have been steady at 17k, and Brazilian are firm at 71.
Dutch Two and-a-Halt per Cents. have been 434 to 44.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been nominally 18 to
19, and Spanish Five per Cents. 11 to 11. i.
Shares have been steady, but there is not much doing.
