CITY, QUARTER TO THRE F.
) The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was
steady, but quiet. Sales, 4,000 bales.—ln Railway
Shares very little was done. Prices generally were:
much lower again.
Intermediate dates from South Australia to the end of
April, advert-again in the highest terms, to the progres,
of mining pursuits. The South Astralian Milling Com-
pany, during the nine months ending the 7th of March,
had paid five dividends making 600 per cent., upon the
paid up capital, and it was the intention of the directors
to pay 200 per cent. on the first day of every third
month, being equal to 98,560/. per annum. Besides this
company the Greencck Creek, and others, were doieg
excellently, and copper was found only a few
feet below the surface of the ground. Most
valuable clay had been discovered in stratum at
three different places, and it had been declared by cow •
petent judges that it could be worked to the finest con-
sistency, so as to vie in quality with any of China manu-
facture.
A statement of the foreign trade of France during the
eight months of this year, compared with the correspond-
ing period of last,!shows a great falling off in the num-
ber of vessels employed. The arrivals compared with
the like period of 1847, were less by 779,568 tons, and
the departures by 164,544 tons, an extraordi-
nary decay, even allowing for the extraordinary
circumstances that occasioned it. In the stocks of pro-
duce in the French Government warehouses, there was
at the end of August, notwithstanding the diminished
arrivals, a very great increase, the strongest possible it •
lustration we can have of the derangement of business
and its effect upon consumption.
The Moniteur Beige denies that a new loan is about to
be brought out by the Government of Leopold.
The vessels arriving from Hamburgh being now
placed in quarantine, the attention of Government must
be immediately directed to other places on the continent
whence the cholera may reach us. It is evident, for in-
stance, that a traveller from Hamburgh will now come
over viol Ostend, and as there are reports this morning
of the disease having appeared on board a cattle ship,
there is no time to lose. Still alarm, we think, need
not be entertained. It is precaution that is needed.
The knowledge that the revenue returns for the
quarter closing to-morrow will be more satisfactory
than could have been expected, and that there will be a
decided increase upon the corresponding period of 1847,
has not counteracted the feeling of anxiety which is ex-
pressed at the approaching election for President in
France, but a more direct cause, we conceive, may be
the belief that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
have to sell stock, as the public deposits in the Bank
are greatly below what they were in October, 1847.
The rapid depreciation in railway property will likewise
compel sales of other securities better maintained in the
market, and upon which, therefore, the sacrifice will be
less. Consols opened at 86k and upon sales being
attempted, have dropped suddenly 851; to 85131
.ankTiSmteocbkaris-
gains have been made as low as
worth 192; Exchequer-bills of March have been 325.,
and those of June 295. to 325. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been more dealt in than
English Stocks; but sales are being pressed, and the
quotations are lower generally. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are 24 to 24k; Brazilian Old Bonds, ex-dividend,
734; Mexican, 18k i; and Peruvian, 32. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been 11} to 1, and the Three per Cents.
231. Danish Three per Cents. have been 66} ; Belgian
Four-and-a Half per Cents., 72; and Dutch Four per
Cents., 69i ex dividend.
The Railway Share Market is worse now than at any
time this year. Sellers, both real and speculative, are
vieing with each other in forcing their securities upon
the reluctant jobbers, already oppressed by the
weight of Railway Stock brought; forward during
the last eight or ten days ; and since there is
no longer any reasoning upon the subject, we must
assume that holders are either under the influence
of panic or suffer from want of pecuniary means.
Even parties—and the badness of trade makes them
numerous—who anticipate a probable want of cash a
month or two hence, are swelling the stream of sellers
which, until arrested, will affright the man of means
who otherwise would buy.
