MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCF.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
llttket yesterday closed with more activity, and
I‘,_good speculative demand was experienced, at the
ill prices of last week. The sales were 6,000
bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export-, and
!like number on speculation. The Railway Share
Alarket continued to improve, and closcd firmly, at
a slight advanc 3 on Tuesday's rai es.
During the month of April the amount of
divi-
dends paid on English Mining Shares was 49,840/.
The market for silver is now very quiet-, and during
the next few days business will no doubt continue
dull. This is usually the case as soon as the
Steamersi for India and China leave Southampton.
Is stated as a reason why the shipments by the
I'
tldeB were not larger, that s-veral boxes of specie
intended
for export sere left behind, and the re-
tial ttances by the next steamer are expected to be
be?b heavy in consequence. The quantity of silver
tght, by the Parana, together with the amount
I)2Zieusly on hand will be almost sufficient for the
"") so that very few purchases aro likely to be
aie en the Continent. There is some proba-
btY, therefore, of a moderate proportion of the
g;„'i
&just received from Australia being sold to
e Bank authorities. The supply brought by
the
Morning Star arrived in town yesterday after-
koot.

4teceunts from Paris report a further improve-
This-ment in the position of the Bank of France. It
Stlated that the bullion, since the last return was
has increased 30,000,000 f. The Bourse,
-wever) is still very depressed, and some fail-
ures, resulting from the settlement,*have occurred,
'jell have added to the weakness of prices.
NThe first ordinary' meeting of the Fort Bowen
ofe7 Company has just been held. The substance
the report was that the erection of water-power
machinery was now being proceeded with, and pre-
parations made for opening the mine. The value
'ae gold ore would be known shortly from a
korm,
krii-o-vu's working of the stamp. Of the whole
lint of shares 43,617 remained on hand. The
accounts showed a balance in hand of 941. 10s. 4d.
The
report was agreed to.
further arrival of gold from Australia has been
aillienneed, viz , 192,0001. by the Sussex. It is
generally believed that a portion of this and the
late remittances will betaken to the Bank, although
the
agents of the Bank of France may secure a
11 amount.
t 0 the
is a considerable demand for money owing
the payments due to-day, and the market tem-
porarily is very stringent. It is supposed that the
a gregate amount of bills to be met to-day is not
p:ttielllarly heavy, but for a long t;me past the
e,market has been in such a sensitive state that the
st extra pressure exercises a unarke I influence.
114 he settlement of the account in English Stocks
botprc'eeeded satisfactorily, but prices have declined,
withatanding further arrivals of gold. The de-
pression at Paris and the tightness of the money
market affect values, and no support is given by
93' investments. Consols have been 9311 and
for money ; for the account they have been
scant in at 9411. The present quotations are 93,1
9ud
21,94 it respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are
to :> and the Reduced, 920. Bank Stock is 212
tx",143 and India Stock, 2201 to 222. The March
vereeequer Bills have receded to par, and the "Ad-
ptisecr do. to ss. discount and par.
°reign Securities have attracted very little
tele, attention. Turkish 6 per Cents. have remained
glifiaulY steady, viz., 94i /, but they are now
be‘i.,.z: Spanish 3 per Cents. Deferred are 25k,
6,1'1 4 per Cents. 971 and Brazilian New
titcc,ei! Cents. 961 ex-dividend. These are the only
i" in which business was recorded.
6,11 e Committee of Spanish American Bond-
holders have published a corresFondence that has
vi(en place between the Minister of Finance, the
gent
of the bondholders at Caraccas. The Minister
mousses that the Venezuelan Government de-
e to assent to the agreement effected last
January by their own commissioners with the
ndholder's Committee in London, on the plea
that the resources of the country would
prevent the possibility of its being faithfully
t_lrried out. And that the Government intends ttiti
i i 3
(7 issue a decree for the arrangement of the
debt according to their own views, which decree
nth the one rejected will be submitted to the So'
e.nezuelan Congress who can decide which they 100
think
proper to adopt. Mr. Mocatta has formally 100
7etested against the rights assumed by the Go- 20
Itunaent of settling by an arbitrary decree the 20
20

of foreian creditors. 20
