IVI(3INEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
MO to 3,500 bales, all to the trade. Prices were rather
easier, the market being heavy. Railway Shares ~were
quiet, with but little variation in prices. A moderate
business was done.
A statement of the Brussels banking establishments
tree the circulation of notes at 32,168,100 francs from
„ay26 to June 10, and the discount operations at
40,,,,..997,634 francs.
We have been requested to state that the article which
appeared in last night's Sun, respecting an alleged de-
claration of war against Spain, has given an inducement
: merchants connected with that country to withdraw
°their produce from the market. Thus some articles
!▪ re held for fuller prices, which yesterday morning
were freely offered.
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
Bove received a discouraging communication from Peru,
the Government of which has exhibited the greatest
iilertuess, and has not even replied to the communications
from Messrs. Maclean, Rowe, and Co. The Minister
It Limaind, Mr. Adams, will be requested to interfere, and,
eed, Lord Palmerston is stated to have given instruc-
ii to that effect some time back. Complaints are made
that the Committee did not publish the communication
some days back, when it came to hand.
We take from the American advices, received per
,te
• amer, the following information upon financial
,‘._" Nothing of interest has transpired in official or corn-
4.4ereini, affairs during the past week. Operations in
Stocks
have been to a limited extent, but prices for
several ,
the large
of the fancies have improved. Notwithstanding
shipments of specie, the money market is
ferParatively easy, and no apprehension is at present
t relative to the drain. It is utterly impossible to
~rl7° any opinion as to the probable extent of the ex-
-I;rttion of precious metals during the next month or
• as a portion of the shipments already
ch4'e has been on speculative account, for the pur-
chase of merchandise in European markets, before any
improvement in the commercial affairs of the old world
e-,,u'inces prices for such articles as are adapted to the
1-,,iluipption of this country. Recent advises from Eng-
land state that large quantities of manufactures from the
",ntinent have been sent across the channel for sale,
for
the proceeds carried back in specie. This accounts
t°l' the drain of specie from the Bank of England.
~,.'Peculators in this country have not waited for ship-
ments of European manufactures to this country, but
,re taken the specie and gone into the markets
France and Germany and purchased largely.
80 long as we have the specie to spare, these
°Perations can be made very profitable, but if
the shipments continue a panic will arise in this
country, and depreciate prices so that there will be no
margin left for profits. There is, however, very little
danger of this, as the supply of specie here is much
greater than is generally known. So far as the banks
are concerned they have nothing to brag of; but there is
pimmense amount of gold and specie in circulation,
eating around the country, which the banks have no
control over, and which tends, very naturally, to improve
the value of the currency."
Stocks are very firm again, the increasing ease of the
Money Market having the effect of supporting prices
against every other influence. The Bank of England,
itis fully expected, will make a formal reduction in its
minimum rate of discount, and if the Parlour meeting
break, up sufficiently early, we shall communicate the
result. Consols for July have been marked 834 to 834

transfer. Bank Stock is firm at 1924. The New Three

There has been rather more activity in Foreign
Bonds, Spanish Three per Cents. have been at an ad-
vance to 22i and 23, and the Five per Cents. to 124,
having fully recovered yesterday's depression. Portu-
