MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet.
Sales about 3,000 bags, at former rates. Shares were firm.
We percelYe that the London, Hounslow, and Western
Railway hold theft meeting on Saturday the 9th instant.
It is evident that among the railway Bills seeking to obtain
en Act of Parliament this session this line is attracting very
favOtifAlAe notice, This proposed railway runs parallel with
the old Grist! Western-road from London, through Hammer-
smith, Brentford, islawarth, and Hounslow, the most popu-
lous and largest commercial ensl manufacturing district
within many miles of London' By its bridge across the
Thames it will be the means of connecting the Northern and
Western with the Southern and Eastern Counties, command-
ing on the Surny side approaches to all the bridges without
creating any additional metropolitan terminus. It is strange
that no railway has yet been made for this dense locality,
seeing that its former coach traffic was greater than in any
other part of the kingdom.
The Indian news received this morning is considered by
the merchants here as most satisfactory. There is now but
little question that trade has taken a turn in the right
direction.
A further improvement has taken place in the market for
the public securities to day. Consols for Account have
reached 96%, and for Money 965, with a very steady de-
mand. The premium upon Exchequer-bills too is higher,
sales having just been made at 265. Bank of England
Stock has improved from 2041,4 to 205%, and the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to 97%.
The Foreign Stock Market has not been so active this
morning as it was on Saturday last. Russian Five per Cents.
have varied from 109% to 110%. The only price of Aus-
trian Five per Cents. have been 110% ex-div. The Mexican
Bonds have been sold freely at 32 and 324 for Money and
the Account. The Spanish Three per Cents. are at :37 ;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 59%, and the Four per
Cents. at 91% R.
The Railway Share and Scrip Market is buoyant, and
prices have a decidedly upward tendency.
