MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,500 bales, comprising 2,500 American, 200
Fontana and Maranhaw, at Bd. to Bi€l.; 100 Egyptian,
at Sid. to qd.; and 500 Surat, at sd. to 54d. per lb. The
market was heavy, and prices were id. lower than on
Friday last.—ln Railway Shares a good business was
done at higher rates.
The following are extracts from a communication,
dated New Orleans the 4th inst., and forwarded by
Messrs. Schroeder and Manning:—
"In our last, of 21st ult.. we alluded to the anxiously
looked for intelligence by the steamer of the 7th De-
cember, upon the tenor of which, it was believed, the
course of prices for Cotton would in a great measure
depend. When the news at last, after an unusual delay,
was received, and proved to be of a favourable charac-
ter, the position of our market at once became changed
—buyers came forward with much spirit, and the de-
mand became active and general, resulting in a busi-
ness of 20,200 bales during the week, at gradually stif-
fening prices.
" The inquiry has been equally brisk during all last
week, and in spite of sundry impediments in the way of
business, such as holidays, rainy weather, and declining
exchanges, the transactions have amounted to 32,000
bales, prices have steadily improved, and are to day
higher than a week ago. The advance would probably
have been greater but for the difficulty in making ex-
change negotiations, by which many buyers were pre-
vented from operating.
" The receipts of Cotton have lately materially fallen
off in quality, and much inferior and high-coloured
Cotton is now being received; the latter, being such
Cotton as has been caught by the frost, has generally
the redeeming quality of an excellent staple. Estimates
of the crop, 2,100,000 to 2,200,000 bales.
" We are without any transactions of consequence to
notice in the Tobacco Market, as few buyers seem
disposed to come forward at the rates which have re-
cently been current, while at the same time holders
maintain a fair degree of firmness. In this position of
the market, quotations are of course nominal, and we
have to wait until a renewal of business shall exhibit
more definitively the position of the market. Whilst
the transactions have been very limited as regards the
better qualities of Tobacco, the lower grades are still
being sought after by the buyer for Spain, who is made
to pay from 7io. to Bic. for Refused,' according to
quality.
" Of new Tobacco some small lots have been re-
ceived, but the quality of all is decidedly poor; the leaf
is light, and of rather a wild growth, and without a de-
cided character. The estimates of the crop range from
56 to 60,000 hhds.
"Owing to the favourable accounts from Rio, and also
from the East, the demand has been good, and holders
have succeeded in establishing an advance upon all
qualities of #to during the past week. The transac-
tions have been considerable at 101 to 101 c., the latter
rate being now the prevailing one for good new Coffee.
The imports during the last fortnight consist of
15,427 bags."
Some of the continental mails have not arrived in due
course, owing to the boisterous weather.
The holders of Spanish Stock have been discussing
with evident complacency the salutary taste of English
law which was given yesterday to her Catholic Ma-
jesty's Government by the decision in the Lord Mayor's
Court. The case was lucidly reported in last evening's
Sun, but the bearings of it may be appropriately con-
sidered here. Certain creditors of Spain, sick at heart
from the apathetic and disgraceful violation of public
faith by Spain, determined upon the attempt to wrest a
fraction of her enormous revenue from her. Accord-
ingly they attached monies lying, we believe,
at Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Stone's, the bankers,
for the purpose cf meeting the dividends on the
Three per Cents., the only security upon which Spain
has attempted to pay for many years. The hoods held
by the claimants proceeding in this case are those of
1834, issued by the Queen Regent in the name of her
daughter, and the proceeds tended powerfully to con-
solidate the throne. Nevertheless, 18 years have elapsed,
and the foreign creditor has been suffered to lament and
pine, the possessor, as far as income is concerned, of
mere waste paper, although the revenue of Spain has
been annually increasing to a remarkable amount, and
14 53 honestly applied, would suffice to meet every demand in
full. With corrupt, supine, ambitious, or military rulers,
however, it could not be expected that the voice of distant
claimants would be much heeded. Hence remonstrance
r after remonstrance, condemnation and exposure, appeals
and expressions of hope or confidence, have all alike
been vainly employed by the unlucky creditors. No
country has so studiously disregarded the maintenance
of public credit. Its own offspring in the new world
have one by one evinced an earnest desire to take a more
elevated position among nations. Chili ranks with
European states of the first order; Mexico under the
most difficult circumstances has admitted her obligations,
and strenuously endeavoured to fulfil them. Peru has
appropriated its richest product; Venezuela and the
minor states have made arrangements; and BuenoslAyres,
under a Dictator evinces a sense of returning compunction.
Spain up to this hour has paid not a sixpence on the
capital of its debt. It simply smarts under the infliction
of some 300,0001. per annum as interest upon interest.
So much for evasion and accumulation. Still there are
parties sanguine enough to conclude that the time is
oome when we may hope for better things. Lord How-
den is supporting the good cause at Madrid. Mr.
Weisweller, Rothschild's agent there, is attending to the
business details, the committee in London are prepared
to take the sense of their co-bondholders the moment
the plan of M. Bertrau de Lis, the new Finance Minis-
ter, is announced, and there is a show of energy and
purpose on all hands that augurs well. In the meantime,
as before remarked, certain moneys here, belonging to the
Spanish Government have been attached under a
law that gives peculiar privileges to the City,
and the Honourable the Recorder holds the attachment
to be good. This may lead to a decision, or at least to a
discussion, on the merits of the case, and although at-
tachments by a little contrivance are easy to avoid, and
the bondholders may never have the chance again, no
harm will have been done by the demonstration or by
the official declaration that the creditors had a just right
to make the attempt. The attention of the world can-
not too often be drawn to the fact that Spain can pay,
but will not.
The holders of United Mexican Mine Shares are
hopeful of the future, and obviously very desirous that
the working of the new lodes should have a fair chance,
and not be stinted for want of a moderate application of
capital. Accordingly they resisted, by a large majority,
at the meeting yesterday, the temptation to divide ss.
per share—which the funds in hand would have allowed
—as dividend; and great as is the denial practised, it
may prove the foundation of much larger profits should
the new mine realise the expectation indulged by many.
The present year, with its more abundant supply of
quicksilver, will probably be the great era for mining
enterprise in Mexico, the expulsion of so many citizens
of that republic from California, and the advanced price
of silver, being a decided incentive.
The English Stock Market has been very quiet, and
not higher. Consols have been quoted 96} for
Transfer and Account, in the absence of any news of in-
terest from abroad. There is no speculation, and the
money purchasers are chiefly by the Commissioners for
the Reduction of the Debt. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 984 to 99; and the
Three per Cents. 971 Bank Stuck is worth 215.
East India Stock has been quoted 266. Exchtquer-
bills have been marked 58s. to 615.; and Indian Bonds,
70s. to 71s. premium.
The arrangements are making in the Foreign Market
for the settlement of the Account to-morrow. Mexican
have improved to 331 i; Peruvian Four-and-a-Hall per
Cents. are 784 to and Brazilian Old Five 'per Cents.
89 to 901. Portuguese Four per Cents. are steady at
35. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 18- -a; and the
Three per Cents. 38 to, with less doing. French Five
per Cents. are 96, with the Exchange at 25 5; and
Dutch Four per Cents. at 911 to -I.
'The Railway Share Market is again exceedingly
buoyant. Lancashire and Yorkshire have risen to 574;
South-Western have touched 86 and 87; Midland aro up
to 53/; North Stafford to 9i; and York and North
Midland, South-Eastern, Great Western, &c., have im-
proved. Foreign Shares are better. Sambre and
