ONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUAI?TER TO THREE.
There was a. good deal of excitement in the Liverpool
Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were id. to id.
per lb. higher, owing to the advises from 'America.
Sales 20,000 bales, of which speculators took 6,000 Ame-
rican and 6,000 East Indian. Shares were quiet. Eastern
Counties, 10; Grand Junction, 231; Birmingham New
Thirds, 411 ; North Midland. 91k ; South Eastern,
36, and Paris and Orleans, 34.
There were no bargains quote-1 in the other share* -
in •the market at Liverpool yesterday.
The private accounts r,lceived from the United States,
es respects trade, are held to be favourable, though but
little expectation i., entertained that the tariff will be
altered in favour of British manufactures. An increase
in the navy of the United State;; was talked of very ge-
nerally in New York and Washington ; war steamers;
of the largest class were about to be built.
There base not been any late arrivals of importance
announced this morning.
An increase of busliess may fairly be noted in the
West and East India produce markets this week, and, in
many instances. improved quotations have been realised.
Still, however, the transactions have not been so exten-
sive as it was expt stud they would have been on the
opening of the markets after the Christmas holidays.
The funds have been fluctuating again to-day, but
there is an expectation that prices will rally should the
Irish State trials terminate satisfactorily, and the excite-
ment subside, by the restoration of something like
political tranquillity. Cense!, have been 96k to 961 for
present transfer, 06 to 96-4 for the opening. The
Commissioners for the Savings' Banks, &c., have taken
about 30,0001. Consuls. Exchequer-bills have been
down to 655. to 675. premium ; and East India
Bonds are still 80s. premium. The Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1028 to 1028 ; the
New Three•and-a-Half per Cents., 1011 to 102 ; the
Three per Cents., 978 to t. Bank Stock is 186 ; and
India Stock, 272 k. The heavy investments are best
supported.
'Die Madrid news is not of particular interest just
now, for so .conflicting and obscure are the opinions
hazarded, that it is difficult to understand the exact po-
sition of Bravo, or what course Mr. Bulwer intends to
adopt. There is one interesting pcint, at all events, to the
bondholders here, and that is, as to whether the population
will submit to payment of the taxes, unless the Bravo
Administration is conducted upon constitutional prin-
ciples, and with due regard to the privileges of the
Cortes. The Active Spanish Bonds have been 2.1 k to -41"-
and the Three per Cents. 301 I, which are yesterday at
rates. Mexican Stock is nominally 32k ; Brazilian
have touched 75 to 76 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 54 to 541.
The Share Market has been rather dull again this
morning, but prices are much the same. Brighton sup-
port the advance of yesterday afternoon, and Croydon:
are higher. We quote the principal lines as follow :--
Edinburgh and Glasgow Registered were 11 to lk ;
Great 'Western Half, 18k ; Hull and Selby, 61 ; Bir-
mingham, 137 ; Ditto New Quarter, 26 ; South
Western, 324 ; Croydon, 1 to i ; Northern and. Eastern.
71- ; Paris and Orleans, 12k to 13f ; and Paris and
Rouen, 12 to i premium. Brighton were 6i to 61 ; and
South Eastern, 141 to 141 discount. Australasia Bank
Shares were 2 premium, and Colonial 2 discount.
