MONEY MARKET ..nd CITY NEWS
TlMES.—Another movement has followed in the Foreign
Market to-day, the bonds of the Peruvian loans having fetched
as high a price as 21. Nothing appears beyond the general
confidence the speculators feel inclined to repose in South Ame-
rican States since the payment of the Mexican dividends, which
could at all induce a demand for this description of security,
which has seldom or ever attracted notice of late years. The
easiness of money is no doubt the prime mover of these at-
tempts to create a demand for these stocks, but as for a justi-
fiable ground for it, there is none whatever, except in the ima-
gination of the parties who are interested in the experiments
they are making. The same persons who have endeavoured to
increase the value of Buenos Ayres Stock are believed to be
those who are now working the Peruvian market, which they
can do with some little effect with a small amount of capital.
It may possibly be attended with no great deal of mischief,
because no very -violent fluctuation can occur in the value
of these stocks, neither can the public be induced to be
buyers of a large amount of it, as the loans were in the first
instance but a few millions of money ; but it may be
as well just to state, that at present the prospect of a dividend
from a revolutionized state like Peru, which has never paid
anything to its foreign creditor since 1825, and whose debt,
which is about §25,000,000, and has only :15,000,000 revenue
to meet it, is far distant. The speculators themselves, being
aware of this fact, can have little to complain of, should they
suffer from a fail in price, and those who deal in Buenos Ayres
will be in no more enviable a positien,l as, besides the great
arrear of foreign dividend which remains to be liquidated, there
is the "domestic debt '' of 4,000,000/., which past experience
has shown is generally attended to before any other is considered.
It cannot be too clearly understood by the Legislature that
delay in carrying the new measure of the tariff into effect is
regarded by the commercial classes as the great evil to be con-
tended with. A petition numerously signed, having the sole
purpose-of urging all convenient despatch, and not carrying a
single objection to any of the changes that tariff will effect,
has been sent up to-day from Liverpool, and no doubt speaks
in that respect the feeling of the whole mercantile interest of
the kingdom.
