MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. SATURDAY EVENING. There was a better demand for Cotton to-day, the sales reaching about 8,000 bales, including t the 2,500 on speculation and for e x po r t, a t a b ou t pre vious prices. The Liverpool Share Market • has opened with increased firmness to-day, and a slight advance in prices has been established ; the business, how r, still continues to be of the most limited In the general demand for Money there has been no change worthy of note during the last few days. Although the exports of specie con tinue large, the imports are quite equal to nullify any unfavourable tendency, and the supply of money is actually in excess of the demand. Accommodation can be procured out of doors at 21 per cent., and there are a few instances in which the figure has been so low as 21; the general terms, however, are 21 to 24. The dis count business at the Bank of England is very small. Next week the payments toward the Indian and Russian Loans may stimulate the demand, but the effect is not likely to be impor tant. The scrip of the new Indian Loan was quoted yesterday afternoon 981 to 1. The letters of allotment were issued last evening. Bidders above 97 receive the entire sum applied for. In respect of the tenders at exactly 97, the distribu tion is arranged in the following proportions, viz. :—On tenders for £l,OOO, £4OO stock is allotted ; on £2,000, £BOO ; on £5,000, 11,900 ; on £lO,OOO, £3,800; and, on £20,000, £7,700. • Business on the London Stock Exchange con tinues on an exceedingly limited scale. The operations in Consols are very meagre, but prices show a considerable degree of firmness. To-day the Government Broker has purchased £15,000 stock for the Savings Banks, but the dealings, both real and 'speculative, are few and unim portant. ' Consols have not changed in price, having closed this afternoon at 954 to 95K both for Money and Account. The New Threes are 96 to 961. The Reduced, 961 to 961. Long Annuities, 18 1-16. Exchequer Bills, 245. prem.; and India Bonds, Bs. dis. Bank Stock is 2234 to 2244. In the Foreign Stock Market business is rather more active, - and prices continue steady. Turkish Six per Cents. are 83 to 84 ; ditto New Loan, 73 to 74 ; ditto Four per Cents., Mi. Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 94i. Chilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 89. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 931; ditto Three per Cents., 71.1 ; and Dutch Four per Cents., G4: 1 1 to 65. In the London Railway Share Market to-day there was a moderate business done, and prices have been fairly maintained, the variations not having exceeded to 2 per cent. Bristol and Exeter declined to 981 ; Caledonian to 85, 1 ; Brighton to 1091 ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton to 311 ; and South Eastern to 76. Lancashire and Yorkshire advanced to 97', 1 4 .

The China letters delivered this afternoon re present the Tea Market at Foo-Chow as being very active, teamen having submitted to a re duction of five teals on the highest point of the market. At Shanghae, Tea had been very dull, with a downward tendency. At Canton very little had been done, the demands of the teamen, coupled with the unfavourable European news, having checked purchases. THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, LONDON, Saturday. Evening. Business in the Stock Exchange has been more lan guid than ever to-day ; prices generally unaltered, but British Railway shares reported firm, with an upward tendency. THE FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES.

We fear our country friends will now begin to complain of excessive rains.— Itadispn Visitor, 10th. • From the reports in our exchanges, we infer that un usually heavy rains for August have fallen nearly all over Georgia; and So much rain must have greatly damaged the growing crops of cotton, and destroyed large quantities of fodder. A friend, writing from Perry County, in this State, on Monday last, says in a rstscript ::—" The crops in this neighbourhood bade fair far an abundant yield ; but the rains have set in, and I fear the result will be otherwise, now with the cotton. Our prairie lands cannot stand wet.”--Itfontgamoy Mail 10th.. The unseasonable wet spell still continues,. to the vexation of planters who have fodder down or needing pulling, and we fear to the shedding of cotton blooms and young bolls. We have all, in city or country, had a surfsf it, and long for sunshine once more. But the gWiny pall persistently overhanos us as we write, and we cannot venture to guess when we shall have another look into the depth of the blue ether beyond the cloud region.—aitonbas _Ent - parer 11th.

The Indian and Russian Loans have absorbed much of public attention as well as capital this week, but we do not hear of any diminution of activity in the Mining Share Market, which con tinues in a buoyant condition, and with a large amount of business doing in various descriptions of shares..

Saltpetre shows a decline of ls. per cwt. The Tea market is inactive. By the Persia, which arrived here to-day, we have commercial advices from New York to the 17th instant. The indications in the money mar ket were in favour of easier rates. The Discount Brokers were able to place very prime November and December paper at 7 per cent.. per annum, which was to 1 per cent. better than the pre- VIOUS \VC V WA/ Ma/ y 1.111. Ul L.ll, class at 8 per cent. Fair paper ranged from 81 to 10 per cent. A decline had been established in Sterling Exchange, most of the business being done at 110. In the Stock Market, firmness was the prevailing feature. The demand for Cotton was quiet, and prices were a shade easier. Flour was more active, but was lower. Wheat was decidedly cheaper, and lightly dealt in. Indian Corn was less plentiful, and was a shade higher. Provisions were de pressed. The freight engagements were some what heavier. The advices from Calcutta received this after noon are as late as July 18. Money continued very abundant. The Bank of Bengal had re duced its rates of discount 1 per cent., but money could be obtained in the other banks and bazaars on lower terms. There was a better feeling in Government securities. The rates of exchange on London were steady. The Import Market was overstocked, and with a limited demand for the local and up-country trade; a considerable decline had taken place in prices. In the export markets there was no alteration for the better. The Indigo acconnts were said to be less favourable.

Thus, freights in Spanish hot- toms, from this port to Havannah, are 50s. pe ton, in British 305., -the difference being ate profit on the voyages. Therefore, it is evident the Spanish ships can underbid us in our own ports abroad, ' The result of this advantage to Spain may be seen by any, of our readers who will take the trouble of observing, that the Spanish flag flies from the masthead of many a, steamer en gaged .in the Havannah trade though that steamer be the property of British subjects,—our shipowners being driven to the strange necessity of sailing under a foreign flag. 4 t .
