COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Foreign and Colonial produce markets during
the last few days have exhibited rather more
activity. For some of the principal staples higher
rates have been current. Sugar continues in good
demand and holders require enhanced rates. The
refined market is also rather active, and more
business has been done in crushed descriptions for
exportation. Coffee has been steady, and Plantation
Ceylon realises fully former rates. Tea continues
firm, and at public sale late rates were sup-
ported in most instances. Spices have been
in moderato demand, and at the public sales of
Cinnamon late rates have been obtained for all quali-
ties. Cocoa, rice, and rum have been dealt in to a
Moderate extent, but no material alteration has
taken place in quotations. Saltpetre has been in-
active, with little change to report in values. For
tallow there is a moderate inquiry. Prices, how-
ever, have slightly receded, P. Y. C. on the spot is
now quoted 535. 30., March 535. 3d., April to
June 515., and last three months 51s. per cwt.
For foreign and colonial wool there is a very
limited enquiry, but holders demand increased
rates compared with those realised at the close of
the late public sales. The next auction being the
first of the series of the present year will take place
on the 25th inst. About 16,000 bales have already
arrived, chiefly composed of Port Philip and Cape
Wools.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a very steady appearance, and prices of all
descriptions were well maintained. The sales
amounted to 8,000 bales, 1,500 of which wero
taken by the speculators.
About 19,0001., in gold, was taken into the Bank
Yesterday.

The Silver Market remains steady, and bars are
bow quoted ss. 11d. per oz. standard.
In the discount market there is rather more
Inquiry ; but this increased demand is merely of a
transient character, and is owing to the provision
that is being made for the liquidation of the bills
falling due on the 4th instant. It is understood
that some heavy payments will have to be made,
but immediately afterwards greater ease will be ex-
perienced than is now apparent. A material
decrease in the amount of securities held by the
Bank of England will, of course, take place ; and,
as the resources of that establishment will increase
80 rapidly, it is only reasonable to presume that
be administration will soon reduce the minimum
quotation to the extent of a half or one per cent.
The market for English Securities is rather ,
buoyant to-day, a rise of per cent. having taken
place. Speculative operations are still very much
circumscribed, but increased firmness has been
caused by purchases for investment. The
Way position of the money market and
the prospect of a further decline in the
Bank minimum, help to sustain the market.
Consols for transfer have been 95i 1, and for the
March account 95a 2. The New 3 per Cents, are
quoted 951 ; the Reduced 951 ; Exchequi.r
Bills 225. to 265. prem.; and the Bonds 100 to 1001.
Bank Stock is 2251 to 227.
In the Foreign Stock Market a moderate busi-
ness transacted at rather higher rates. Turkish

dend fund, by the direct packet now due here.
In the Railway Share Market this morning a
limited business has been transacted ; prices, how-
ever, have been well supported, and in some in-
stances au advance of about to 1 per cent. has
taken place. Eastern Counties and Great North-
ern improved ss. ; North-Western, Manchester,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

COURT OF 13ANKRUITCY.
(Bofors Mr. Commiesioner Evars.)
IN RE EVANS AND HOARE-JUDGMENT.

His Honour gave judgment on the question of certi-
fioate in this case, which W 43 fully reported a few days
since.

His Honour said this was an application on the part
of the bankrupts for their certificates. The granting 11
certificate to Evans was opposed on the ground that,
although in 1854 he was insolvent, he still continued his
trade, and took Hoare into partnership. In support of
the objectors a balance sheet was put in, by which it
appeared there was a balance of a considerable sum to
the debit of Evans. The bankrupt Evans stated that
that paper did not contain the whole of the accounts,
it did not include his private investments, and that if
these had been realised at the time he would
have had a surplus exclusive of 5,000/. received as s
bonus from Hoare. In support of his statement it wet-
proved that there accounts in the books of the bankrupt
Evans were examined by a person of the name of Gor
don who was deputed on behalf of Hoare, and that he
wag so satisfied as to advise Hoare to enter into pact•
nership, and to bring in 0,0001., and to pay Evans a
bonus of 5,0001. I think this proves that the bankrupt
Evans was justified in supposing that he was solvent at
that time. It appears to me from the evidence that
when the partnership commenced Evans and Hoare had
a right to suppose that they bad a very large capital
It was objected that the bankrupt had been guilty re
reckless trading ; they certainly appear to have traded
to a great extent, greater than they ought, bnt the)
could not have done so but for the very imprudent dis-
counting their bills. It was alleged on the part of the
bankrupts that their stoppage was entirely caused by
the beer to a very large amount furnished by Hoare and
Co. The losses do appear to have been very large, bu
it does not appear to me that their trading has been se
reckless to justify my refusing or delaying their certifi-
cates.

It was objected that in January, 1857, the bankrupts
aware that they were insolvent, still they persevere 4
in their trading. To this the bankrupts answered thaT
they acted on the advice of their principal creditors, ano
that they scarcely incurred any new debts. In my
opinion ne trader, after he knows he is insolvent, cal,
be justified in incurring new debts with persons igno
rant of the fact of his insolvency, and I shonhi, in al
such cases, refuse the certificate ; but my opinion on
this point has been held to be erroneous by the Court .1
Appeal, and to that decision it is my duty to submit.
The bankrupts are not charged with any of the offences
mentioned in the 256 12 Victoria 106. On the whole 1
think I ought to grant the plaintiff a certifioate of the
second class.
