The Mercurio, in its market report, says:--•
We- repot to ' say that-as yet there is no appearance of
any improvement in the state of the markets, nor can we
hold out hopes'for the future. - The great scarcity of credit,
arising from the innumerable bankruptcies taking pinee
since the beginiaing-of last year, and which unfortunately
still continues, although not so frequently, it is tree, yes
the monetary spareity which still prevails, owing to causes
noted in former reviews—as, for instance, the great quan-
titieS of money sent out of the ,country,to -meet the imporsi 7r.
in default of articles of export,. besides the great scarcity of
-agricultural produce and cattle, from the bad state of the
roads-in the interior, on account of .the littedieavy rains,
which have lasted since about the commencement of May
• —these, we say, are the principal reasons for our present
commercial inactivity."
• The only news of consequence from Peru, given
in letters froth Callao and' Payta,' is the excitement
of the pending elections,- Secret societies have been
formed all over the country, which have been act-
ing in unity, and at, the eleventh hour they had
proclaimed as their candidates General Medina for
President, and Don Gregorio Paz Soldan as Vice-
President, both popular and powerful men com-
pared with General Castilla and Senor Lamar.
The general impression appeared to be that Castilla .
would be re-elected.
From the Republic of Bolivia the news is satis-
factory. The. " Linares Administration continued
-their laborious task of reorganising every branch
of public service. All rumours respecting Belzu's
return had ceased, and no fears were entertained
respecting the present Government's stability. The
dictatorial decree of March 31 had been unanimously
confirmed by all the Provinces. His Excellency
Senor Linares had received the most cordial felici-
tation addressed to him by General Santa Cruz, at
present residing in San Jose, in the Argentine
Confederation. He had also received. the auto-
1-graph letter from- his HolinesssPius- IX., in which •••
the Pope authorises- a delegate of the Holy See
in the person of Senor Marinus Morini, Arch- •
bishop of Palrayro (la partibus), resident in
Palma. He had also received a satisfactory
answer to his autograph letter to Queen
Victoria. On the Bth of September the municipal
bodie's will be solemnly installed throughout the
Republic. General Perez, Minister of War, had
resigned, and General Ballivan was appointed to
succeed him.
