IN RE HENRY SIMS:

The insolvent had been an extensive horse-dealer, and the
amount of his debts and liabilities were upwards of 3,000/,
the greater number of which were contracted for horses
bought principally at the large horse-fairs in the north of
England, and his petition was opposed by a great number of
farmers and breeders from that part of the country. In his
schedule he stated that the assets which could be made avail-

able to his creditors would be about 470 L, but also that he
had a number of debts due to his estate which amounted to
1,5001., which were quite doubtful.
After a lengthened opposition the Court adjourned the case
for a fortnight, in order that the insolvent might amend his
balance-sheet.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day, at firm rates. Sales 5,000 bales, all to the trade. There
was a good demand for Railway Shares, at steady prices.

The Funds have been very firm again, Consols for transfer
being 993/4 to par, and for April, 100% to 4. The premium
on Exchequer-bills is 635. to 665., being Is. higher. The
advices from Paris show that the reduction of the Five per
Cents. is fully expected to be carried out, but this is more
likely to influence the numerous French Railway Shares
held here, than to enhance the value of British securities
already high, and as to French Stock, the bargains here are
"few and far between." Bank Stock for Account has been
2141/, to 215, and India Stock, 284. India Bonds, under
10004, are 70s. premium.
The foreign investments have been rather lively. Spanish
Actives have receded to 304 and 29%, but the Three per
Cents. continue at 41%. Some interest is felt respecting the
decision on the su-pension of the sales of clergy lands, but the
sales to-day are, no doubt, merely speculative, and to realise
profits. Portuguese Converted have been up to 68% and 69.
Brazilian New have been marked 88%, Chilian 1011/2,
Columbian 14%, and Mexican 36% to 36%. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 63%, and Danish Bonds 90.
There has been a little flatness in some of the Railway
Shares, but the movement is not uniform, a few lines being
better.
