NiONEY and COMMEsit'.o [AL NE WS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday Wer.
about 3,000 bales, of which 600 Surat were taken for,
export. The market closed heavily, and prices of
all kinds were id. per lb. lower than on Friday last.--
Railway Shares were flat.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat in the markets
which make official returns is 395. id. per quarter.
The arrivals to day.do not generally bring later now°o
and there is an absence of continental news of so ell
ing character, if we except the advices from Idadri
which render it doubtful whether General Narvaez is not
wholly out of favour. Unconstitutional as many con'
eider the administration of that minister to have been,
it seems to bo admitted that his Excellency 115 s
displayed great ability in keeping the country
tranquil, that gradually it may recover its
agricultural and commercial prosperity, both so griev-
ously impaired by former reverses, but so steadily im
proving since 1845. The great fault of Narvaez's polici•
apart from its despotic tendency, has been an excessiv.
leaning to the army, and the maintenance of a costly ana
unnecessarily large force.
It' mercantile profits are to be measured by those 01
the joint-stock banks, they must during the past year
have been very considerable. The dividend sn
bonus declared yesterday at the London and Weettnia:i
liter Bank meeting was equal toll per cent. per 111111110].
to-day at the half-yearly meeting of the London Join:
Stock Bank, the usual dividend, at the rate of six per
cent. per annum was declared, together with a bonus 0
3s. 6d. per share, atter the payment of which the gua-
rantee fund would stand at 137,1091. 11s. 3d. During(
the discussion as to what ought to he the maximum °
the guarantee fund, which still went on increasing, the
directors stated that it could not at present be fixed at
any amount as a maximum. The report of the meeting
will be found in another column.
The English Stock Market has been weaker, aaa
money upon the settlement of the account, which ,
Bullish, has been scarcer. There have been reports 0
the Bank of England having shown greater reluctanee
.
to grant loans upon stock, and it appears that the„ii°b,,,,
hers are disappointed at the result of the •"optionb, ,
stock having been called for than was exptcted. There
t
are injurious reports also concerning the turn thil
the exchanges will take on Friday, but on tu
point we doubt if there be any real cause for apprehen'
sion. Consols have been quoted 96i fur Transfe„r:
