MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, but firmly, at the full rates of last week.
The
sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500 of
Lraich were taken for export. The Railway Share
Market was active, at full prices.
meeting was held yesterday of the creditor; of
Messrs. Copland and Barnes, who lately suspended.
The balance sheet showed liabilities to the extent
of 26,5681. Bs. Gd., and assets of 9,2221. 16s. ld.
The accountants, therefore, anticipate that a divi-
dend of about Gs. Bd. in the pound will be obtained.
he firm was engaged in the provision trade, and
the failure is attributed to the recent rise in prices,
Which resulted in heavy losses upon outstanding
contracts. The estate will be wound up under in-
spection.
On Saturday last a meeting of the shareholders
of the Alliance Bank was hold at Paris. The report
PJesented to the meeting stated that the profits of
'no undertaking from the commencement (17th
4.r Pril last) to the 31st Dec., amounted to 19,215/.
t was eventually agreed to pay a dividend of V.
Per share, equal to, a rate of 16 per cent. per
annum, and to set aside 1,7351. for the discharge
of all preliminary expenses, leaving a surplus of
6,3511. to be carried to the next account.l
The drain of gold to the continent continues, and
further withdrawals from the Bank are reported.
The entire sum received by the Electra was sold
Yesterday for shipment, and in addition 30,000/. or
3500/. was despatched from the Threadneedle-
!street vaults. At the same time, however, it is
known that several parcels from the late importa-
tions have been taken into that establishment, and
that the reduction in the aggregate supply retained
there may not be so large as many anticipate. Be-
sides this, several vessels may be expected
in the course of the next fortnight, which it
is thought will provide more than sufficient
for the purchase of silver for exportation by the
steamer on the Gth proximo. It is likewise
imagined that there will be a temporary pause in
the efflux across the Channel, and perhaps a check
'Will now be given to the withdrawals from the
Bank. This induces a more favourable feeling,
and the fears aroused a few days ago with reference
to the possibility of an advance in the rate of dis-
count are dispelled by the rather quieter tone which
now pervades the Money Market.
The Funds remain stationary at yesterday's clos-
ing values. Speculatiorris still inactive, bona fide
dealing is confined to very few operations, and the
Market generally appears languid. Operations for
a rise are checked by the situation of the Money
Market, and the specie drawn, while the possibility
of an early improvementin these consideratiOns pro-
duces caution among the Bears. Consols have been
931 I for money, and 9311 for account, with a firm
Market. Bank Stock for account has risen to 221
and 223. Exchequer Bills are 2s. discount to par.
Poreigis securities also remain in a very dull
state. Turkish G per Cents. are 98k ssa ; and the
4 per Cents, are nominally firm ; Spanish 3 per
Cents. are 61i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 1074 1071;
Portuguese 3 per Cents, 45i ; Grenada Deferred,

can, 24 241 ; Peruvian, 77 79 ; ditto Three per

WESTERToN v. LIDDELL.—We are informed that the

glad to hear that Mr. E. T. Smith has not retired from
his expectation of being elected M.P. for Bridport.

Mr. Thackeray delivered his lecture on " Humour and

THE STRIKE OF THE IiANDLOOM WEAVERS AT DRO-
GMIDA.— DROGHEDA, March 16.—This strike unfortu-
nately still continues without the least prospect of a re-
. conciliation between the manufacturers and operatives.
-Lbe latter, to the number of some 700 individuals,
• bold their union meetings regularly. The loss
of the circulation of hundreds of pounds weekly begins
to be severely felt by small dealers, while the poverty of
the unionists must be acutely felt by themselves and
families also. Some of the hands have left town, we
understand, for England and Scotland, and a small num-
' her have consented to work on the manufacturers terms.
