MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER.
The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was better.
Solos, 5,000 to 6,000 bales. There was no alteration in prices.
Among the sales were 700 Surat, at 2%d. to 3%d. ; 70
Suriname, at 5,4 d. to s:rid. ; Egyptian, at 51%d. to 65%d. ;
and American, at 3%d. to 51d. per lb. There was a better
demand for shares,: and prices somewhat improved.
The Message of the President of the United States, which
has been made public this morning, has been the subject of
general conversation in commercial circles. It is on the
whole considered less warlike than was anticipated; and the
Funds have in consequence advanced about half per cent. A
saving clause exists m the Polk speech; to the effect, that
should Congress originate any step for the settlement of the
Oregon question, he would be most ready to acquiesce in it.
As for the talk of maintaining the honour of the Repnbiic in
this matter, or after the twelve months' notice expires, actual
and menacing steps will be taken to assert a right to the
whole of Oregon, it is treated with something approaching
ridicule in the City.
The private advices received to-day from New York and
Washington are full of comments upon the tenor of the
Message, and it is most certainly anticipated that a war may
be staved off. The President, our letters state, was com-
The reference made to an increase of the navy does not seem
pelled to say something stormy in order to satisfy the
detnocratical party in the western part of the Republic.
to have reference to anything like war as being probable,
otherwise there cannot Ise a doubt that a recommendation
would be made to Congress to prepare for the worst, by an
extraordinary grant. It is evident, too, that no con-
siderable increase in the army of the Republic is contem-
plated. From these and other paragraphs (take another in-
stance—the recommendation that the National Debt should
be immediately paid off, amounting to about 17 millions of
dollars), it is clear that after all, a " peace policy " will be
the result of the deliberations of the American Legislature.
The quotation of Consols for the Account reached 94, soon
after the Market opened to-day, being a rise of 4 per cent.
on the last rates of yesterday afternoon. At present
the market is but a shade lower, and the inclination appears
to be rather to purchase than to sell. The Reduced Three
per Cents. have improved from 934 to 941/x, and the Three-
and a-Quarter per Cents. from 9514 to 96%. The premium
on Exchequer-bills has been quoted at 20s. to 225. Bank
Stock has fallen to 2001/2.
A very few bargains have been made to-day in the Foreign
Stocks. Brazil New Bonds have been done at 79; Granada
at 214 •, the Peruvian at 41; the Portuguese Four per Cents.
at 60; Spanish Three per Cents., for Account, at 39%; Bel-
gian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 95%; and the Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at an advance to 61.
There is more firmness displayed in the Railway Share
Market this morning; but still there are but few buyers
coming forward. Business, no doubt, will be flat till the
opening of Parliament.
