MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bales, with a heavy market and prices declining,
American being nearly id. per lb. lower. The sales
comprised 3,000 American, 300 Parnam and Maranham
at 74d. to Bid., 100 Bahia at 'lid. to 43., and '4OO Surat
at 44d. to sid. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm.
The Brazilian mail brings news of a slight fall in the
Exchange. The fear of a war with Buenos Ayres was
not allayed.
In the accounts of the 21st of February from Buenos
Ayres, it is stated that the improvement which occurred
in the markets during December had not been main-
tained. Several failures among retail dealers, and some
of them to a large amount, had reduced business to its
previous state of distrust and langour, from which, at the
latest date, it was only slowly recovering. Very little
was doing beyond supplying the immediate ne-
cessities of the day. In the dry-goods de-
partment there had been little movement, with
prices heavy and a still downward tendency; and of the
recent importation, the greater part must remain in first
hands, as there were few inducements to hazard large
speculations. The January arrivals to a large extent
were Brazilian and Spanish, and these would be steadily
absorbed, consisting of wine, sugar, rice, tobacco, &c.
The direct immigration last year into Buenos Ayres
amounted to 12.500 persons. Export produce was
scarce and in good demand. This was owing
chiefly to the rapid shipments of the previous
months. There was said to be an averaga,number of
cattle in the province. The statement of the public
Treasury for January, 1851, shows a balance of 14,680,478
dollars. Political questions remained apparently in
statu qua
The following is a report from New York:—
"It is the impression in financial circles that the
Money Market will be easier in the course of thirty
days, and that about the middle of May we shall be in
the midst of another speculative movement in fancy
stocks. This is all possible and very probable. The
Money Market at present is affected by a variety of
causes. In the first place, the banks have just been called
upon for their regular quarterly statements, and they have
been preparing their affairs fur as favourable a report as
possible; in the second place the payments of all classes
of investments during March and the early part of
April are invariably heavier than at any other season,
and this year they have been particularly large, and the
banks, in consequence of a greater demand upon their de-
posits in providing for the enormous amount of corpora-
tion securities put upon the market for sale, have not
been able to afford the usual facilities in the
emergency; in the third place, the shipments
of specie have been extensive, and although the receipts
from California have been, since the first of January
last, about eight millions of dollars more than the ship-
ments to foreign countries, the fact that nearly every
steamer and packet leaving this port for Europe take
several hundred thousand dollars in specie, has
had a tendency to lighten the money market.
These things have had an unfavourable influence
upon Stocks, and have depressed prices considerably;
but we should have had a break-down in the Stock
Market in the absence of the above-named causes—per-
haps not to the extent realised; but the fancies had be-
come so much inflated, the speculations had become so
protracted, the outsiders so full of stocks, the operations
extended se tar beyond their means, that a collapse was
inevitable. It was hastened by several local events, and
it has been more serious than it otherwise would
have been, in consequence of the contraction in th,
money market, the result of enumerated causes. It must
be borne in mind that there has been a depreciation of
from 10 to 20 per cent. in nearly every fancy on the list,
that most of them are intrinsically worth what they are
now selling at. This is an important consideration, and
should be borne iu mind by outsiders genet ally."
A commissioner has been appointed by the Dutch
Government to treat with Belgium concerning a new
treaty of commerce and navigation.
The night trains from Brussels to Cologne are to be
accelerated after the Ist of next May, when the journey
will take only 18 instead of 24 hours. The telegraphic
lines from Brussels to Antwerp are to be all worked di-
rectly. At Amsterdam, on the 13th, Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were 57k.
The English Funds have been rather flatter this morn-
ing, but the sales are not of moment, and a slight falling
off in the Money purchases, succeeding the previous
activity, is the cause. Consols have been marked 97k
11 for Transfer, and 97i for Account., The New Three-
and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 97i to 98k, and
the Three per Cents. 96i 11. Bank Stock is worth 211
to 212. Exchequer-bills have been 545. to 575. prem.
The Foreign Market has been dull. The most im-
portant movement has been in Portuguese Bonds, which
have fallen 2 to 3 per cent. owing to the intelligence of a
revolution, with Marshal Saldanha at its head. Tne
Four per Cents. have been 32 to 33. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been 18j to 19. Mexican Bonds are flat at
33 to 33k, owing to the non-arrival of the mail, sup-
posed to have arisen from the steamer having put bask
for coals.
Shares are generally better.
