CITY. QUANTIM TO 7'IIREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the
sales were 4,000 biles.—Railway Shares were firm.
The state of the weather this morning being so ex-
tremely unpropitious, the market for grain at Mark-lane
has been very heavy to-day. There are bad reports in
circulation relative to the dividends which more than
one or two suspended establishments will ultimately
pay.
By the letters that have come to hand this morning
from Brussels, it is stated upon competent authority
that the Treasury of King Leopold is about to be
strengthened by a new loan. It is nut represented with
Anything like certainty what amount will be required.
The contrast will, in all probability, be taken by capi-
talists in Paris.
The correspondence relative to the Peruvian Debt,
which has recently taken place between the agents of
the Committee of Spanish American bondholders at
Lima and the Peruvian Government, relative to the
claims of the bondholders, is considered so tar satisfac-
tory, that it is to be referred to the Congress of Peru,
that the course adopted by the Government of Chili,
in settling with its creditors abroad, should bd fol.
lowed by the authorities of the former. It would
further appear that there is no disinclination of
the Ministry of Peru to recommend that such a pro-
cedure was most proper to be followed.
We have not heard of any failures of importance this
morning.
It was noted under this head yesterday afternoon,
that the Court of Directors of the Bank of England had
not, as anticipated would have been the case, made any
alteration in the minimum rate of discount. The
policy of this course of proceeding is questioned by
speculators and other " go-a-head" people. Careful
men think that, for the necessities of the day, the value
of money is now low enough upon good bills and se-
curities.
At the commencement of business this morning there
were many buyers of Consols for the Account, and the
price reached 88. Some realising then occurred, as the
value of the Rentes on the Paris Bourse came over
lower. The reaction here was to 87i, at which
a large amount of dealings took place. For im-
mediate transfer there were the same changes.
The premium on Exchequer-bills advanced to 275. Bank
Stock, from the advanced point of 196 f, has fallen to 194,
and East India Stock from 236 to 233.
Scarcely half-a dozen bargains were made in the
Foreign Stock market this morning. Brazilian Bonds
ent back from 83 to 61; Mexican rallied from 17-1 to
18i. The Datch Two-and-Half per Cents. opened at
54i, and are now at 541. Ths Spanish Three per Cents.
remain steady at 29k.
The market for the Railway Shares has been pretty
good this morning.
The reason of the fall in the Rentes at Paris, as com-
municated, is that Louis Philippe has really had a very
severe attack of illness. Notwithstanding a direct con
tradiction had been given to the report, the French
speculators placed some reliance upon the assertion.
