MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yes:erday, were 7,000
bales, including 2,000 on speculation. Prices were steadily
supported. Busiuess:done-200 bales Maranham at 5%d. to
63/4d. ; Peruvian, at 6%d. to 7%d. ; 100 Egyptian, at 6%d.
to 9d. ; 300 Surat, at 31%d. to 33/4d. ; the rest Americani at
4d. to 63%d. per lb.
A fair business has been done in shares.
The Brazil mail brings no very important intelligence from
Rio, but in reference to the state of the money market and to
mercantile matters there is nothing particularly favourable
in them. Should the Minister succeed in his plans, some ins
provement may perhaps occur. The exchange was 24% to 25.
From Buenos Ayres the dates are of July 11, and here
there is doubtless food for reflection, since, if the accounts
are to be credited, we may expect the next arrival to bring in-
telligence of the cessation of hostilities at Monte Video, or the
commencement of them by the English and French squadrons
opposite Buenos Ayres.
We have some hope of an amendment, in the United States
tariff, if the following extract from a recent communication
dated New York is to be relied on :
"Every one must admit that the existing Tariff Act is very
defective, and many of its provisions are burdensome upon
the poorer classes, and many necessary articles consumed
almost exclusively by the lower classes are taxed with a very
high duty, while luxuries, consumed exclusively by the rich,
are entered at a comparatively low rate. Some of these
things should, and undoubtedly will, be remedied ; and it is
these defects that the present Secretary of the Trea-
sury is aiming to abolish. The principal object he
has in view is a complete revision of the tariff, and
whenever it- is necessary, and can be done without sacrificing
revenue, to remove the :high duty upon many articles, and
place it upon others that will produce about a corresponding
amount of revenue. There is plenty of room for the exer-
cise of the pruning-knife, and it is in judicious hands. The
organs of the two great political parties will find, soon after
the convention of Congress, that they have been more
frightened than hurt. The Tariff will, without doubt, during
the approaching Session of Congress, be perfected, and the
defects and abuses of the present Act be removed."
The Funds have been very flat this morning, and we quote
Consols % per cent. lower again, viz., 98% 14 for present
transfer, and 981 % for Account. The premium on Ex-
chequer-bills has been 48s. to 495., being firm.
The report of the Foreign Market presents a mere blank.
Portuguese Four per Cents. are 58 to 59%, and the Equador,
5. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59% to
601: , being somewhat better.
The Share Market has been rather flatter to-day for the
'principal lines, as well as the scrips. We quote Birmingham
and Oxford unction 4; Caledonian, 9to 9% ; Cambridge
and Lincoln, 3% to 3% ; Direct Manchester, 1% % ;
Eastern Counties, 634 ; East Lincolnshire, 5% ; Goole and
