a E5nnaazsce OF the Liverpool Exchange.
As Illustrative Of the business which produced the
late panic in England, the following story s told Of
one of tne great firms in Liverpool:
The firm in question have recently compounded
with their creditors for undor ten shillings in
the pound. and even this will have TO be paid in five
instaments. extending over about eighteen months.
There is however. just probability that they may
again be placed in position to resume business and
pay their debts il full 1t appears that their chief
losses have been IN cotton, which IS now, OF course
relatively at great depreciation. They purchased
some time ago, either in America or Egypt, very
extensive shipment of cotton, at about the highest
price of the market at that time The cotton in
sured to its full value but the ship board which it
wss slowed though considerably overdue, has not
yet arrived in this country. If the vessel is lost,
therefore the underwriters will have 10 pay oyer the
full marketable value of tho cotton at the time it
was purchased. and the firm will be enabled not only
to pay their debts in full but to realize handsome
surplus Should the vessel and her cargo yet arrive
in safety the firm will be compelled to ADOPT the
composition above described Persons at q distance
rom tho centres of commercial excitement and spec
ulatiOn perhaps hardly realize the effects of sud-
don depreciation rise in cotton but may state
as illustration that in the Of vessel which
recently arrived in Liverpool from Bombay, laden
with cotton, depreciation in the value Of this single
cargo amounted to t63,eO0.
