MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
311% The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on:Saturday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were
taken fur export, and 500 on speculation. The market
was steady at previous rates.—Railway Shares were
rather firmer.
The Corn market is firm, and Wheat is Is. higher.
% It is estimated that the imports of bullion within the
last two or three weeks, will be sufficiently large to add
(feast % a further sum to the amount in the Bank of England,
34 128 until the period when the dividend, become payable.
Last week very considerable arrivals both of gold and
silver took place, representing altogether from two to
three millions of dollars. A good proportion of the silver
comes here from America on foreign account, and accord-
ingly we see, week atter week, a steady re-shipment to
the Continent. This was the case again in the re-
turn which we gave on Saturday,: showing nearly
600,000 ounces of silver to have been forwarded in six
days from London alone. Still our receipts of bullion
114 36 % exceed our exports. As regards the chance of retaining
the present heavy stock of specie, it seems tolerably fair,
but there ever must be uncertainty until the harvest is
secured. The prospects of the crops are not unfavour-
able, although the season is acknowledged to be back-
ward; but the consumption of the United Kingdom is so
large, that unless the farmers have a much greater,eup-
ply in their granaries than they are supposed to have,
an extensive importation from abroad will be indispen-
sable. For this we must pay partly in coin, the French,
for example, being poor euetomers for Briish manufac-
-3.4 % tures; but a very important question arises, via., whether
the French growers have not already reduced their
stores to such a low point, that in the
event of the yield this year proving inadequate they will
not have to re-purchase in foreign countries at advanced
rates. This view of the case is not wholly unreason-
able in face of the accounts which have reached U 6
/4
within the last two or three days from the other side of
the Channel. The markets there appear to he rising,
and there has been less flour aent.to the London market.
What we take iu food from the United States, and even
the Baltic ports, we shall at least iu part liquidate by
barter. Unless from the extraordinary productiveness
of the Californian mines, and the obtainment of gold
thence in exchange for our goods, we should not hail an
accumulation of the metals in the Bank of England
coffers as a satisfactory circumstance. The Bank of
123
France is gorged with riches yet the trade of the coita-
-1 se% try languishes, and better far would it be that the money
should return into active circulation, not alone in the in-
terest or the mercantile community and of the revenue,
but likewise of the Bank proprietors. All circumstances
c, rudder. d, there was seldom a quieter and less specula-
'lye business doing throughout Europe than at the pre-
sent time, although we must not forget that cotton had
recently its turn. Tne next movement, if any is to occur
at all, will probably be in grain for the quantity of sugar
coffee, and colonial staples obtainable from one quarter
or other, is likely to be adequate for all purposes.
The advice. by the steamer Canada, from the United
States, are on the whole favourable again in respect to
money matter,. The Corn market was dull, and Cotton
steady. Toe re-action in Cotton has led to some failures
during the last two or three weeks on the other side ot
the Atlantic, but these had very little effect on business
i,„o generally, and it is stated "they are by no means to be
considered a criterion of the condition of the commer-
cial classes in this, or any other part of the country."
The accounts from British North America are very
le4P
cheering, and Canada is especially prosperous. The
weather, however, was wet and backward in the lower
ay.
province, and the low grounds near St. Maurice were
ilo•Kled.
The flamburgh mail of Friday last gives the Ex-
change on London at 13 21. being 1 lower.
The English Stock Market has been very quiet again,
and the quotations have been without alteration. Con
sole are 2el I and firm. 'The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 984 to 4, and the Thus per
Cents. 974 Vi 4. Bank Stock is supported at 2121.
&chi qu, r-bills are firmer at 425. to 465., and India Bonds
have been 535. to 55i. premium. The advance in the Corn
market hes been remarked upon as a cause fur prudence
on the part of the Bull speculators, but we see nothing
of importance in the circumstance. The aspect of affairs
in France would ba more likely to induce a cautious
policy, for until it is known what the Assembly will do,
there is danger ot reaction in the Yentas which might
be made a handle also by the Bears of Consols. East
lodia litock for account is at 265.
The Foreign investments have been very dull. Spanish
Bonds are nominal; the Five per Cents. at 201 4, and
the Three per Cents. at 404 to 41. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been at 33 to 34, Buenos Ayres Stick
is worth 552, Brosilian 854, and Milan (Three per
Cents.) 641. Mexican Bonds, after being 341 1, have
rallied to 344 1 Russian Bonds are 1024 to 4, Dutch
Two. and-a-Half per Cents, bring 604,
Railway Share, opened with rather an improved ap-
pearance, but they have become weaker since. The
market is in an unsatisfactory condition, and the belief
in many quarters is that speculation has most to do
with it.
