MONEY and COMMERCIAL N 11: NV S.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the.Cottoti Market at Liverpool on:Saturday the
sales were 4,000 bales, at steady rates. Railway Shares
were dull, and rather lower.
The letters from the manufacturing districts
complain loudly of the almost indifferent winner of
Lord Palmerston in his reply to Mr. Disraeli on
the River Plate question, and they go on to say
that the error of one Administra,ion cught not
to be an excuse for the miserable diplomacy
of another, for his Lordship had sufficient material in the
Poreign.o ti ce left by his predecessor, to point out to
him the only course likely to effect a settlement ; and
it is much to be regretted that Lord Aberdeen was re-
toped from office just at the time when he would have
followed up the efforts he had commenced to remedy the
great error he committed in the original intervention.
As the French Government seems desirous of acting
with England in its foreign policy, a favourable opportu-
nity will arise for Lord Palmerston to endeavour to pre-
vail on the French to withdraw from the intervention in
the River Plate, and this will be the only chance of r.l-
- our trade in that quarter of the world.
Tho continental advices appear to be of rather a
favourable character to-day, and but for the gloomy and
wet weather would have exercised a very favourable in-
fluence upon opinion generally in the City. The armis-
tice between the Austrians and Italians, and the proba-
bility of negotiations being renewed with Denmark,
have been commented upon with expressions of high
satisfaction, as being calculated to remove almost the
only present danger of an European war. The state of
Germany is perhaps more a source of uneasiness to those
who look beyond the present time, than that of any other
foreign state.
The accounts from abroad do not advert generally
to unfavourable appearances for the harvest. In the
district of Arlon, Belgium, the crops were never more
abundant, and the potatoes promised well. Within
the last ten years, as is stated, the growth of grain,
&c., has been tripled, and the barns this season will
Scarcely suffice to contain the yield.
The Corn Market has advanced this morning, but
there is less excitement among the dealers than, from
the state of the weather, some had anticipated.
The Funds bad a slightly rising tendency upon the
foreign news, but the weather was sufficient to induce
renewed sales, and the market is kept, as it were, in
abeyance, though it is firm under circumstances. Con-
sols have been 851 to 868 for transfer, and 854 to
841 for September. Exchequer-bills of June have
been 255. to 28s. premium, and East India Bonds 255. to
265. premium. Bank Stock has been 198 to 199. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 868 and
since 87. Tfie Three per Cents are 858 to 868.
The Foreign Stock market has been very quiet
*gain. Spanish Five per Cents. have realized 12 and
the Three per Cents. 22. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have been 174 to 18i. Brazilian new is at 69. Danish
Bonds are 68; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
434 to i.
Railway Shares are flat again, but the business doing
is insufficient to establish any material change in prices.
