MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool continued dull yesterday,
and a large supply was offered. Shares were much depressed,
and lower again.
It cannot be urged too strongly that the Provisional
Committees or the Managing Directors of all Companies
formed for the purpose of carrying out additional lines of
railway, should instantly call meetings, and lay before the
Scripholders a full statement of the receipts and expenditure
up to the present moment, and the future anticipated pay-
ments that may be required in the prosecution of the various
Bills before Parliament. In so far we are ready to go
with the Times, and trust that the course adopted
by a few Committees, may be very generally adopted. We
cannot, however, consent to the arguments of our powerful
Contemporary, that the payment into the hands of the Ac-
count•-General will create such a scarcity of money as to de-
range very greatly commercial operations, or to interfere,
to a " panic point," with the state of the currencey•
There is infinitely more in a deficient yield of the
crops to account for the present heavy state of
the Funds, and rise in the value of money, than in
warnings of the Times, which now so complaisantly assumes
to have first put a veto to the formation of any new plans for
railways, and to have checked bubble speculations. The last
principal failure in the Stock Exchange has thrown a gloom
over the market, and which is likely to have an influence for
some days to come, although the party will pay everybody,
and have a large surplus. It is a very important fact that
ought to be borne in mind, that the country markets for
shares have maintained themselves pretty well.
A new Company, the Grand Junction, Great Western,
and South-• Western Railway Junction, has appeared in the
market, the shares commanding a slight premium. Pro-
ceeding through Bicester to Slough, it completes the shortest
route from London to Birmingham, Liverpool, and Man-
chester.

Accounts of August 27th, from the Cape of Good Hope,
describe the colony as progressing well, and the result of the
wool sales here excited much satisfaction. The farmers,
however, complain that Sir Peregrine Maitland's views have
not been carried out, and that cattle thefts were becoming as
frequent as ever, though previously abating. Natal was to
have a lieutenant-governor, judge, recorder, and more
troops.
A higher rate of duty had been imposed on French Brandy
and other spirits imported into the Cape, and not the growth
of England and her colonies, Is. being the new impost.
The Funds have been very susceptible again to-day. Con-
sols have alternated from 96% to 95% for Money, and from
96 to 951/2 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 295. to
255. prem. Bank Stock is only worth 203 to 204%. New
314 per Cents have been 96% to 97%.
The Foreign Investments have been steady, though very
inactive. Spanish Five per Cents have realised 271 A %;
Mexican 313/4 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 95 to
96 ex-dividend ; and Dutch Two .and-a-Halt per Cents. 58%
to 59.
The Share Market is still depressed, with the exception of
Staines and Richmond, which are creeping up a little.
