MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales 4,000 bales, without change in prices.
There are accounts of a fair commercial character from Rio
Janeiro this morning. The packet has a valuable freight of
diamonds, principally the produce of the newly-discovered
mines in Bahia. The " water "of these precious stones
is of a very variable quality, and not, as we are
informed, likely to meet a ready sale among the more
wealthy people cf this country. It is not by any means likely
that the present large supply, and which, if kept up to the
fullest extent anticipated, will materially diminish the present
value of the finest samples of the articles that can be of-
fered for sale. The general trade of the Brazils is represented
as being in a satisfactory condition.
The bank returns for the current week give the following
results upon a comparison with its predecessor :
An-increase in the circulation of 193,040/., or to 26,819,390/.
An increase in the amount of the Rsst of 6,040/., or to
3,221,6361.
An increase in the public deposits of 72.3,670/., or to
9,408,044/.
A decrease in the other deposits of 374,0381, or to 8,715,667/.
A slight increase in the Seven Day Bills, or to 960,094/.
In the Banking department there is an increase of
261,995/., or to 6,768,340/.
The Bullion, by the last return, amounted to 13,268,771/. ;
and by the present it stands at 13,378,3431, exhibiting an in-
crease of 109,572/.
Not a great deal of business bas been done in the Funds
this morning. Consols for the Account have remained at
94% % ex the dividend ; Reduced Three per Cents., for
transfer, have realised 951,4 14 with the interest; and the
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have fluctuated from
97 to 97%. Exchequer- bills have been sold at the prices of
yesterday.
Scarcely half-a-dozen bargains have been made in the
Foreign Stocks this morning. Spanish Threes have realised
4014 %; Peruvian, 411 A ; Portuguese Converted, 591/2 ; and
the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 611,4 14.
In the Railway Scrips, on which comparatively small de-
posits have been paid, there is an inclination shown this
morning to do business, and prices are more firm. High
valued shares have been bought with caution.
