MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUA TER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wtre 3,000
bags, with a quiet but steady market, and prices of all
kinds were without change; 100 Pernam sold at 5%d. to
; 150 Egyptian at 71Ad. to 8%d.; 300 Surat at 3d. to
3%0.; and the rest American.—There has been a good busi-
ness doing in Shares, and prices were higher.
• The notice winch was issued yesterday from the Bank of
England, for raising the rate of discount from 2% to 3 per
cent., has keen toe subject of earnest conversation in all
lending circles here. The policy of the measure, independently
ofconsii'erations of the profits of the Corporation, is
he'd by all practical men to be beyond question.
That it will operate as a check to the concoction of wild
railway projects, and keep bona fide concerns in a much
more satisfactory position than heretofore there is no donbt.
The only matter of surprise is that the step was not much
sooner taken, as the trade of the country has been
increasing in a most satisfactory way for some time past, and,
as a matter of course, the amount of capital required fir
operations in produce, colonial as well as foreign, is much
increased.
With respect to the heavy condition of the Funds in the
last few days, it should be noted that the reaction in the
prices is more to be attributed to the really alarming state-
ments that are daily received of the failure of the potato crops
in almost all parts of the United Kingdom, and the prospect
that large supplies of foreign Wheat and Flo-ur will be re-
quired to make up the deficiency here in the crops of Grain
and Potatoes. Now is the time, in the opinion 4.f all those
who desire our foreign trade to be extended, for Sir Robert
Peel to come forward, and issue an order in Council
for the admission of foreign Corn, if not free, at least
at a nominal duty. By such a course the millions would be
pleased, and a bold step taken to reduce hereeter the taxes
on the staff of life, from which the monopolists would here-
after find it impossible to induce him to recede. That
the Funded Debt would be improved by such a measure is
held to be a certainty.
The public securities have receded this morning, especially
Consols for Money, which have been sold as low as 9714,
having opened at 97% %. For the Account the decline was
from 98 to 97%. Prices have rallied since i 4 per cent. Ex-
chequer Bills are also considerably lower, having been
sold freely at 425. premium, but they are now
worth 465. premium. The Three per Cent. ReduCed dropped
from 96% to 9614, and Bank Stock from 207 to 205. There
is not a great deal of speculative business going on.
The prices of most of the Foreign stocks are lower. The
Five-per-Cents. Brazilian have been sold at 82 and at 83;
Danish at 87; Mexican at 32%; Portuguese at 60; Spanish
at 37% %; the Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at
59%; and the Four. and-a- Half per Cents. at par.
The Railway Share-market has been pretty tirm this morn-
ing, all things considered, and a full amount of business has
been tram acted. The official list will furnish the extent
of the variation.

CORN EXCHAN GE.-FRID AY.

During the present week, the arrivals of English Wheat
coastwise have been moderately good. viz., 5,040 quarters;
but by land carriage and sample, very little has come fresh
to hand. The stands being fairly filled, and the. accounts
from the North respecting the proge•.s of harvest work more
favourable, the demand for all descriptions of 'Wheat of
home produce was inactive, and Monday's quotations
were with difficulty supported. In foreign Wheat very
little business was transacted, at unaltered figures. The
little new Barley here has gone off on much the same
terms. We continue to have a fair retail demand for the
best old Malt. In other kinds very little doing. The show
of Oats was good, yet the demand was steady at full prices.
Beans, Peas, and Flour as last quoted.

The supply of Beasts on sale here being rather limited, and
the attendance of buyers somewhat numerous, the Beef trade
ruled firm, and Monday's quotations were supported in every
instance. There were 50 Oxen and Cows, 60 Sheep, and 4
Calves per steamers from Holland. Although the numbers
of Sheep were small, the inquiry for them was in a sluggish
state, at barely stationary prices. In Calves a fair average
amount of business was transacted, and some superior breeds
realised 5s per 81bs. The Pork trade was steady, at our
quotations. Mitch Cows moved off slowly, at from 16L to
19/ each.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.--The Prussian
Government has determined to apply an electric telegraph t
the line from Berlin to Cologne. It will be established be
ween Berlin and Potsdam before the end of the year.
STATE OF TRADE.—There was a considerable
change in the state of the yarn market yesterday ; the
animation which prevailed a few days ago !laving entirely
subsided, in consequence of the sudden cessation of pur-
chases for the German markets. We uuderstand that this
cessation has been cat's -,(1 by the announcement (which ap-
peared in the Guardian of Saturday) that the Congress of
the Zollverein had brought its deliberations to a close with-
out imposing any additional duty on cotton twist. Down
to a very recent period, a strong impres,ion prevailed that
the present duty would be very considerably increased at
the commencement of the year, a:.d large contracts had con-
sequently been made for yarns, to be delivered at such periods
as would enable the shippers to enter them within the
limits of the Zollverein before the Ist of January. As it is
now obvious that no advantage will be gained by this course,
the Germans have for a time discontinued their operations.
The spinners, however, are so generallY.engaged for some
weeks to come, that this pause in the .demand has had no
sensible effect upon prices. The goods market remains in the
same state as last week, the demand being moderate, and
prices in seine cases a little easier.—Manchester Guardian.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT 13.
—We have had a fair average market to-day, at prices

JOURNEYMEN CARPENTERS' BENEVOLENT INSTI-
TION.—Last evening the sixth annual meeting of the mem-
bers and supporters of this charity, which is formed for the
relief of aged and infirm journeymen carpenters and the
erection of an asylums for carpenters, their waves, and widows,
was held at the Bell, Old Bailer, Mr. Munyard, carpenter'
and builder, in the chair. Mr. Weed, honorary secretary,
read the report, which was very satisfactory, and stated that
Messrs. Grissell and Peto, Baker, Hicks, Law, Cubitt, Holt-
zafelle Webb, and other employers, approved of and sup-
ported' the institution. The members reckoned 200 journey-
men, and the Committee expected, that of 16,000 journeymen,
who compose the trade of the metropolis, at least 1,000
would be shortly. enrolled, and aid them in bringing into
operation the original intention of the institution,• which was
to allow 12s. a week to the aged and infirm, and the erection
of an asylum for those who preferred being its inmates to
that of recipients of out-door relief. The receipts, including
661. 16s. 6d., the result of a benefit at the Surrey Theatre,
amounted to 267/. 17s. Bd. The report was adopted, and
the officers for the ensuing year elected, after which the
meeting broke up.
With respect to the payment of the railway deposits
into Chancery in February next, it is essential to correct a
fallacy that has been found very prevalent. Bratty of the
public entertain the notion that Exchequer-bills and stock
may be brought into play in lieu of bank notes. On this it is
simply to be remarked, that stock and bills are property and
not money, that they represent past savings, and are not ap-
plicable to future outlays more than land or houses. The
substitution of them may indeed stave off the evil for the
moment, but it will not effectually cure it. Sooner or later
the amount must be paid in money, or the projects must be
abandoned.—Times.
THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL
ARSENAL.—In consequence of the fearful results of the late
fatal accident, the authorities seem determined to use every
effort to guard against the possibility of an event of a similar
nature occurring in- the. royal laboratory department. The
manufacture of blank and ball cartridge, which has hitherto
been carried on in sheds in the_eentre of the square attached
to the royal laboratory departincut, has been removed to
the extremity of the Arsenal, • near • the canal, and it is un-
derstood -that the work of extracting the saltpetre from the
fuses will also be carried on in this spot as soon as the neces-
sary arrangements for that purpose can be made. Tire
object of these changes appears to be to remove these some-
what dangerous occupations from those . localities where a
large quanity of inflammable and explosive compounds are
necessarily deposited. - - -
