MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of whien 1.0 0 American were
taken tor export. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 150
Pernam and Maranham at 61,4 d. to 6%d. ; 800 Egyptian
at 51a.d. to 9d.; 3no Surat at 23/40. to 3%; and 100 Sea
Island at 10d. to Is. 2d. per lb. Tire market was quiet but
steady.—Railway Shares were dull and declining.
It was not to be supposed that the sad calamity
at San Francisco would pass over without affect-
ing parties in England as well as in America, and
a more distressing case has seldom been presented
to our notice than that of Messrs. James Harkey
and Co., of Liverpool. The members of this firm were among
the very first to exhibit the true British spirit i t enterprise
by establishing a branch at San Francisco This they did
even before the gold discoveries, looking upon San Francisco as
an eligible pl-ce for trade. Their enterprise and skill were
rewarded with success, and they became large consignees.
Unfortunately, however, they were unable to eff.ct in-
surances upon their property, and have thus been
mined by the fire that has occurred. Their loss
is calculated at no less than 150,0001., a large
proportion falling, of course, upon their connexions
in England, since, at the time of the cenfiagra-
tion, they had a great quantity of merchandise in the
stores. The liabilities are stated at 70,' 00/. to
80,100/., the house at the Sandwich Islands not
being affected. What renders the misfortune additionally
distressing is, that just before it took place the firm in Cali-
fornia had completed arrangements for leasing to the Collec-
tor of Customs four iron warehouses, for which it was to re-
ceive over 2 1,0001. per annum. The books of the firm were
fortunately preserved.
Anot her Liverpool failure is that of Messrs. Ralph and
Riser for 60.000/ Tiiey were in the Mediterranean trade.
In Loudon Jlessrs.'Ralli and Marrogordato, Greek mer-
chants, have suspended. Their Habil ties are small.
The Broinstsrove and St.nrbridge Banks of Dleesre. Ruf-
ford and Co. are being now wound up in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy' and it is to be regretted that the liabilities are so
much larger than was anticipated, amounting to nearly
half a milli n sterling. There are some circumstances
which appear to tell against the managers of
these establishments. They are indebted to their
London agents, Messrs. Glyn and Co., in the sum of 90,0001.,
which is covered by the most valuable securities of
the firm, including a large amount of the landed
property belonging to Mr. Philip Rufford. Now,
the question may arise whether the class of
certificate should not be materially affected
by the act of continuing business when all the best assets of
a bank are pledged. Messrs. Rufford and Co. must have
been irretrievably insolvent for a long time, and should have
met their creditors when they had a fair dividend to dis.
tribute among them all. Another disappointment is that
Mr G. H. Biggs is stated not . to be a partner in the
Brow egrove Bank, although the notes have for years past
borne his signature, and the firm generally signed itself
" Ruffo-d, Biggs, and Co." It is high time that, besides
the gazeited retirement of partners, some enactment
should be passed to enforce an alteration in the
name of a firm when changes occur. If a
member of a firm gets into private embarrassment, we are
told soon enough of his having left the concern, both through
the dissolution column of the Gazette, and the announcement
that the remaining members will collect and pay all debts;
but if a rich member retires, even though he takes his whole
capital with him, not a word do we hear on the subject.
It might have been supposed that the miserable result of
the Sardinian loan would have deterred other attempts to
raise money here, but if report speak truly such is not the
case. We have rumours of an Aus rian, a French, and
a Swedish loan being on the tapis As the
settlement of the Consul account takes place on Thursday,
we must not attach too much importance to these state-
ments. Consols now are heavy, at 96% to 97. Tue New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have ueen 93% to 9914,
and the 'three per Cents. 97% 3/4 Bank Stock is worth
2t 5. Exchequer-bills are 2s. lower, being 495. to 525. prem.
East India Bonds are at 62s prem.
Foreign Securities have been fluctuating. Mexican realised
32 ss to s, fur money, and 32% fur account. Peruvian Five
per Cents. have realized 914. Grenada Stock has been at 16.
Equador Bonds are 3, %. Spanish Five ler Cents have
been 51.14 rise of LA to 34 per cent., owing to the
passing of the law regulating the debt. by a la ge majority.
The question now is, whether the bondholders will perse-
vere in their refusal to accept the terms offered by Bravo
Murillo, and whether they may not i duce him to modify
it when the Cartes meet next October. Russian
Fear-and-a- Half per Cent Bonds have been at 10014 %,
ex div. Venezuela Stock is at 32. Mexican Bonds
have been quoted 324 to • . for Transfer, and 32% for Ac.
count. Ttte;e is no official information upon the subject
, from the committee of bondholders, but it is understood that
the deputation was very favourably received by Messrs. Ba-
ring, and that when the proper time comes the e can be
very little doubt of the indemnity being discounted. As to
any doubt of the goodness of the security, Messrs. Baring
perfectly agree with he committee that it is wholly ground-
less. Dutch Two-ond- a Half per Cents. have been 59% 1/2.
Shares are generally better. Great Western, Nerth-
Western, Brighton, and East Lsricashite are most conspi-
cuous for the rise, and the traffic returns to be published this
week will be very encouraging.
