There was rather a heavy market for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, the sales being 2,000 bales only, but
at previous rates. Shares were languid at the following,
quotations :—Birmingham and Gloucester, 112; Caledo-
nian, 45 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 314 ; Chester and
Holyhead, 64 ; Dublin and Cashel, 61 ; Grand Junc-
tion, 219 ; Ditto, Half's, 1094 ; Great Western, Fifths,
244 ; Lancaster and Preston, 394 ; Liverpool and Man-
chester, 203 ; ditto, Quarters, 504 ; London and Birming-
ham, 2224 ; Manchester and Birmingham, Quarters, 54 ;
Manchester and Leeds, Quarters, ;Mi Band Counties,
109 ; North Union, 1284 ; Scottish Central, 24 ; Trent
Valley, 104 ; Ulster, 374 ; Paris and Lyons, 2L 10s.
We have no late arrivals from any quarter to-day.
The decree of the Spanish Government suspending the
sales of national property, has at last come to hand, sal
we must say excites a feeling of very general disgust
among those who were credulous enough to attach any
sanctity to Peninsular State finance documents, however
solemn in form and guarantee. The preamble of reasons
assigned by M. Mon is, of course, only what might be
expected, and will fail to exonerate either himself or
or those associated with him in the Ministry,
for such an act of wanton bad faith. Once
in the ascendant, the Spanish clergy are not likely
soon again to lose ground, and we may bid adieu to
liberalism and reform for many years to come. A sug-
gestion, however, has been thrown out which may de-
serve attention, and that is whether the present decree
is not a mere political ruse to influence the elections, as
the suspension of the sales must be acquiesced in by the
Cortes. Still, it should be borne in mind that if the mem-
bers are returned under the influence of the decree, they
will in all probability be inclined to vote for its confir-
mation.
The public securities are not so flat as they were yes-
terday afternoon ; but it must be observed, that although
the Bears may not be successful in reducing prices to
the full extent of the first blush, when they make any
sudden assualts upon the market, they generally effect
some permanent reduction upon previous rates. Hence
it is that Consols now realise only 984 f for Money and
Time, the Government broker having purchased at
985 to the extent of 5,000/. Exchequer Bills
brought 71s. to 745. premium, being somewhat
firmer. East India Bonds, under I,OOOL, are 945. prem.
Bank Stock has been steady, at 199:k. The New Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 1014 to 101 ; the Reduced,
10,211- to toti ; and the Three per Cents., 994 to 4.
The Foreign Stocks rule heavy. Spanish have been
' 22 to 4 for the Active, and 325 to 334 for the Three per
Cents. Portuguese Converted are steady, at 444 ; and
Mexican heavy, at 354. Colombian remain at 134; Bel-
gian are worth 1021 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
' Cents., 61 to 61t.
' The Railway Shares have been tolerably good, and
with a moderate business doing.
