MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were about
5,000 bags, of which speculators took 2,000. There was no
change in prices, 250 Surat went at 3d. to 3%d. ; 50 Fermin
at 7d. ; 50 Maranham at 6d. to bid. ; and 4,650 American
at 3td. to sd. per lb. Shares were flat, and prices lower.
The panic anticipated, and worked into expectant form by
the Times has yet to be demonstrated. Thing 3 this morning
look brighter; and confidence is more apparent. For any one
to have imagined that a moiety of the new. schemes started
lately would be broughtbefore Parliament in the next session
were a pure absurdity, but still our contemporary appears to
think that such will be the case, when so large an amount
as 50,000,000/. is stated to be required for the necessary Par-
liamentary deposits. If the sum to be deposited be so lafge,
so much the better, as it shows, at least, that the people of
this country have an amount of capital at command, that
cannot be equalled by the population of any other kingdom
in the world. As to bubble schemes, the sooner, they are
rooted out of the market the better • and a panic among this
class of projects would prove -a benefit, not an injury.
Wo are pleased to observe a decidedly better feeling in the
Stock markets to-day, and a reaction upwards, which, we
trust, will become strengthened as the public make them-
selves better acquainted with the views of the panic-mongers,
viz., to take advantage of a rush by sellers in order to cAne
in cheap, and profit by the subsequent
"restoration of confi-
dence. Consols have been 96% to 9714 for present.transfer,
and 97% to 97% for Account. The premium on Exche-
quer-bills has been advanced to 445. and 455. .We
call the Stock-market full 1% per cent. better than yesterday
morning. Bank Stock is steady at 206 to 207, and India
Stock is heavy at 264. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 98 to 14 ; and the Three per Cents. 96 to 3/4 ; South
Sea Old Annuities are 95% to 96.
The Foreign market is rather flat as regards Dutch Bonds,
but steady for most of the other investments. Mexican have
been at 3134 for the Actives; Portuguese Four per Cents.
are 57 to 5f:%; Dutch Twosand-a-Half per Cents. are quoted
5131/ to 59 ; Brazil Stock is worth 85.
Business in Railway Shares is *conducted upon a much
more reasonable scale, and although prices flag, the jobbers
are more inclined to operate than they were yesterday.
