MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were es-
timated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 American, 300 Per-
nam and Maranham, and 300 Surat were taken for ex-
port. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 400 Pernam
and Maranham at Sid. to 7d., and 800 Surat at 31d. to
31d. per lb. The market was flat and prices very irre-
gular, and all kinds were about id. per lb. lower.—Rail-
way Shares were very heavy.
The accounts from Chili give interesting particulars
of the financial position of that country. They state:—
"The shipments of silver, and dollars generally arrive
here from the coast on the 20th of every month by
steamer, and from that date up to the 25th, as soon as
the exchange is fixed, the remittances for Europe are
purchased; and it often occurs that neither silver nor
hard dollars are obtainable the second day after the arrival
of the steamer, and j ust as frequently that drafts on London
cannot be procured to the amount required. If, there-
fore, at such a period the Government should come
into the market for so large an amount, they would ne-
cessarily have to postpone their remittances for another
month, or contract the same at very unfavourable ex-
change. The internal Three per Cent. Debt, at present
in circulation, amounts to 1,455,800 dolls., with a sink-
ing fund of half per cent. on the original capital of
1,745,950 dolls.

" The new loan of 500,000 dollars, applied for by Go-
vernment, for the erection of custom-house stores, will be
contracted) for in Chili, as well as the required sum for
the construction of a railway to Santiago, if Government
should sanction the undertaking. The Chilinos have no
objection to act in concert with strangers living in their
country, but are reluctant to enter into speculations of
which foreign nations share the profits, and, in conse-
quence, have a vote in the undertaking, and would much
rather exert themselves to raise the capital than apply
for it elsewhere.

"The election for President would take place on the
25th June, and the new President is installed in office on
the 18th September, the anniversary of the declaration
of independence."
In reply to the letters of the Veneauelan Minister of
Finance, Mr. Lord, the agent of the bondholders at
Caraccas, very ably gave a full statement of the whole
case. He called to mind the misappropriation of the
moneys that should have been paid to the bond-
holders, and does not think the political convul-
sions justify it. As to the proposal of the
Minister to pay on account the 12,5001. in the Bank of
England, so as to liquidate the interest due from April 1
to. June 30, Mr. Lord very wisely points out that such
an arrangement would be fatal to the agreement en-
tered into in 1840, and cannot, therefore, be enter-
tained. A much better course, he contends, would
be to provide at once for the October dividends, and
settle the question of arrears afterwards, the proposal
to capitalise the coupons being considered tangible.
We think that all parties will concur at least in
the view that Mr. Lord, by his indefatigable conduct;
has well earned their approbation, and at a future time
will be entitled to substantial reward.
A letter from M. Payno to the Chairman and De-
puty-Chairman (Baron Goldsmid and Mr. Capel) of the
Mexican Bondholders' Committee has been shown on the
Stock Exchange, in which very full explanations are
given concerning the value of the indemnity assignment,
the course hitherto, taken and open in the present
instance for its negotiation, the firm resolution of the
Mexican Government to carry out the agreement in its
integrity, and the impression that the next packet will
bring 200,000 dollars for the dividends to compensate
for the smallness of the last remittance, about which the
Committee complain, and which M. Payno asserts is
purely accidental, and not the result of di-
minished receipts or misappropriation. How-
ever, the Committee did quite right to
urge this matter upon M. Payno's attention,
that he may let his Government know the absolute ne-
, cessity for increased vigilance and punctuality. The
last accounts received by way of New York from Mexico
are considered decidedly more encouraging, and the
Cortes were bent on improving the resources of the Go-
vernment, amending the customs duties, &c.
The rates at which Bills of Exchange were yesterday
negotiated on the principal continental cities wore a
shade lower on France and Belgium, but firm on the
other places. The dealings in ninety days' bills were at
25 20 to 22k on Paris, and 25 20 to 22k on Antwerp.
On Amsterdam 11 17i to 18, Hamburgh 13 7} to 8,
Frankfort 119 to I, and Trieste 11 43 to 52.
The English Stock Market has been firm again, and
the transactions for money are the feature, scarcely any
speculation being in progress. Consols have been 96-1
t for Transfer, and 961 for Account. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 981 to
and the Three per Cents. 96k to I. Bank Stock is sup-
ported at the high value of 215 i to 216. East India
Stock has been at 283. Exchequer-bills are lower, as
parties are selling out to buy Stock. The premium has
been 495. to 525.

Foreign Securities have been very inactive. Spanish
Three per Cents. have realised 38k, and Mexican are
nominally 30-i to with a better feeling. Brazilian
Old Bonds are 90i; French Five per Cents. have been
94, with the exchange at 25. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 59i I, and Danish Fin per Cents.
1032 to 1041.
The Railway Share Market has not been so active,
nor have the extreme prices of yesterday in all cases
been obtained. Some of the leading brokers are ad-
vising their clients to buy for money, but the latter have
not yet done so to any extent, or the reaction would be
immediate and considerable in the really sound dividend
paying shares.
