LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING, The Liverpool Cotton Market opened to day, after the Christmas holidays, with great buoyancy, and holders were enabled to obtain very extreme,. if not higher prices than on Wednesday last. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales, including 5,000 for export and on speculation. Much interest is felt for the appearance of the forthcom ing " annual statements," which are expected to make their appearance on Thursday morning. The Liverpool Share Market has been steady to-day, and although the amount of business transacted was not large, prices had an improving tendency, and business left off with rather a buoyant feeling. The transactions of the day include :—Blackburn, 7 13-16. East Lancashire, 223. Great Western, 673. London and North Western. 1051, /, 3, 1061. Midland Stock, 82!, I. North British, 10.

The following sales for the next account were reported :—Blackburn, 91; Eastern Counties, 9 5-16 : East Lancashire, 23 5-16 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 07%, i; London and North Western, Wei ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 344; Midland Stock, 823 ; South Eastern and Dover, 22 5 16, 3 ; York, Newcatle, and Ber wick, 21. Money, both at the tank of England and in Lombard-street, is in active demand. Six percent is the lowest rate, even for the most approved descriptions of mercantile paper, so that the gene ral appearance of the market is rather tight. An increased degree of pressure, however, was to have been anticipated at the close of the year, as, in addition to other circumstances, the settlements at the Stock Exchange, and the preparations for the " fourth" of the month, when a large mass of commercial paper becomes due, assist in augmenting the enquiry. The Red Jacket, which arrived hero to day from Melbourne, brought over half a million sterling. This remittance is very opportune, especially as the large amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank to Ireland is not likely to return at present. To day the market for English Securities was rather heavy, owing - to the adviees from China announcing the bombardment of Canton. At the opening, Consols declined about 3 per cent, but the arrival of the Red Jacket afterwards imparted more firmness to the quotations. Speculation was very dull, and the arrangement of the Foreign Stock and Railway Share accounts occupied chief attention. Consols have made 94% 3 to 943, and subsequently 91% 1, The New Three per Cents have been 943 9, the Reduced 943 3, and the Long Annuities 23 Exchequer Bills were quoted is discount to 2s premium, the Bonds 983 to 99, and India Bonds 2s preen. Our reports from the London Railway Share Market inform us that to day the arrangements for the settlement of the half-monthly agoonnt in the Railway Share Market have proceeded favour ably, and but little business was transacted except in connection with that event. The " contangos " were very heavy. A decline of about 1 to Z. per cent has taken place in some of the prin cipal lines. Great Northern receded 10s, Great Western ss, Lancashire and York shire ss, and South Western 10s. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, North British, and North Eastern, York, improved about ss. Grand Trunk of Canada were firmer, and advanced about ss, and Great Western of Canada ss. The French lines were at nominal rates, and Lombardo-Venetian declined ss. Among the sales were—Great Northern, 911, 3 ; Great South and West of Ireland, 110 ; &reat Western, 691, s ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 96%, 7 ; London and North Western, 105%, 3, ; Manchester Sheffield, and Li n coln, 341; Midland Stock, 821, 3. The Colonial Produce Markets, both here and in London, are still closed. Same few private trans actions are going forward, but they are of such a character as to exercise no particular effect upon the demand or value of any leading article. It is generally expected that on the resumption of busi ness all descriptions of foreign and colonial pro duce will be in active demand. The intelligence of the bombardment of Canton has already induced a speculative feeling in the Tea trade. Some parties fearing that the fact of hostilities being protracted, our supplies of this favourite and uni versal beverage, must be considerably diminished, and a much higher range of prices prevail. There is not any new feature to notice in the Grain trade. There has been a lull in all the leading Markets during the Christmas week. At Mark lane to-day there was not much business transacted, but prices did not vary to any extent. The imports into the leading ports of the United Kingdom are rather liberal. By the Australian clipper ship Red Jacket, which arrived here yesterday afternoon, we have adviees from Melbourne to the end of September. The Red Jacket brought 134,000 ounces of gold, and 155 passengers. At Melbourne the rate of discount was 7 per cent. for bills under 95 days, 8 per cent. for bills over that perio 1, 10 per cent. for renewals and overdrawn accounts. The yield of the gold fields had averaged over 50,000 ounces during September, and the total amount taken down by escort to Melbourne for the three weeks amounted to 147,425 ounces. The_ price of gold has remained steady at 755. 62. to 775. The elections had partially interrupted business, but there were large orders in Melbourne from the country, which would be completed so soon as the state of the roads permitted the transport of goods. The last adviees from England of large shipments intended for the Melbourne market, had not pro duced the depression anticipated, though in one or two articles, especially in butter, the holders evince anxiety to reduce stocks. The supplies at the gold fields of articles of general consumption was limited, and it was expected that when the spring trade set in, there would be a healthy demand. The great rush to the Dunolly fields was attracting persons from all quarters. The popu lation supposed to have reached there amounted to 40,000, and there seemed every prospect of' a permanent yield of gold. We have given, in another column, full details of the Red Jacket's news, political and commercial. According to the returns made up at Melbourne, before the Red Jacket sailed, it appears that the total amount of gold received by escort for the thirteen weeks ending September 20, 1856, was 571,069 ounces, against 599,528 in 1855. The following were the rates of freight when the Red Jacket sailed—To London Wool, id ; hides, 45s to 50s per ton ; gold, 3d to 432 per ox ; do. in large 3d per oz ; bones and horns, 483 to 58s quantities, per ton ; dead weight p. agre. 30s per ton ; light goods, 50s to 60s per ton. To Liverpool : Wool, 3d per lb ; tallow, 40s to 50s per ton ; hides, 40s to 45s per ton ; gold, 4d per oz , do in large quantities, 3d per oz ; bones and horns, 483 to 50s per ton ; dead weight p. agre. 30s per ton ; light goods, 50s to 60s per ton. Freights to other ports outward are nominal, there being now but little export trade. The railway meetings of the week have not been numerous. A majority of the shareholders of the Glasgow and South Western Company have autho- rised the directors to subscribe 60 ; 000/. towards the British and Irish Grand Junction Railway, since it is stated that the additional traffic which will be derived from the route when carried out cannot fail to pay rnpre than the interest of the money pro= posed to be raised. At a special meeting of the Dublin and Wicklow Company it was agreed to authorise the directors to apply to Parliament for power to extend the station at Harcourt road, and for other purposes. The inhabitants of Dolgelly have passed a resolution in favour of the Newtown and Maehynlleth Railway. The line is stated to present no engineering difficulties, and the traffic will, according to estimates, be remunerative. The directors of the Cork and Youghal Railway, owing to opposition, have not pressed their application on the baronies of Barrymore and Imokilly for a guarantee of 5 per cent. on a capital of 100,0001. to facilitate a completion of the line ; but they hope, although they have not the advantage of a guaran tee, to be able to commence running trains in the ensuing sumniei4.

COTTON : The market has again been active; about 2,000 bales sold the last two days at a slight advance. TEA: The news received by telegraph from China, this morning, caused much excitement, and an advance of lid was freely paid, and several thousand chests of common congou were sold at Is. Au advance of ld to lid has also been paid on medium congou, and the article is under the influence of fears for the mercantile result of the opera tious in China.

The stock wintering over is much larger than was antici pated. ELM, at one time, was very scarce and dear, occasioned in a great measure from large sales having been made on the other side, but latterly the demand was by no means as animated as in summer, and we must caution parties above against expecting such prices as have been current the last two years, though we think for straight Elm, all rock, and 40 to 44 feet average, a fair price can be calcu. lated on. - lAxaitic is still heavy in stock, especially for flatted, but square has been in fair demand all summer, and for 33 to 35 feet has brought 10d to 11d. So very little, how— ever is wanted, that the probability is, the above rates may stimulate the manufacturer, and if so, the supply will doubtless be greater next year than the demand, unless ship building become more remunerating. STAVES have been in good demand all the season, with out any very great fluctuation of price, having been sold generally at £55 by the crib, if culls were taken With them, or ''s7 to lOs without culls. West India's have been selling at £l4 to 415 by large parcels, and £l5 lOs to £l7 by the bateau load. Far too many culls have been brought down, which must have reduced profits on the merchantable very considerably. A great prejudice exists against staves coming down in craft, and very few parties will purchase them at all. DEALS have been dull and difficult of sale all season, and the small proportion of first quality has been a fruitful source of disappointment both to buyer and seller. Unless parties in England agree to take much larger portions of seconds and thirds, we see difficulty in selling the stocks now on hand to advantage. FREICIVITS have been very variable, at one tithe dull at 29s fur Liverpool, and at the close of the season scarce at 475. • • Sun , BUILDING.—The number of ships built within the last 12 months is 42, of the aggregate tonnage of 32,235. The demand in England is very languid, and we have not of late heard of many sales; vessels of GOO tons are, how ever, in fair demand. About 25 keels are now laid in our ship yards, which we do not tbink will be much increased, unless a better feeling exists after the new year. Quebec, Dec. 10.

LONDON MINING MARKET.—DEC. 29. : The market for British mining stocks maintains a quiet appearance. For good dividend stocks former prices are fairly supported, but the more speculative descriptions are rather flat. In the Stock Exchange the shares of the Australian Mining Company have been dealt in at Foreign and colonial stocks are generally inanimate.

We have to report one sale at 735, open. There are sellers at this rate for cash, and buyers at 72s 9d. ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE QUEBEC TIMBER TRADE. In publishing our annual circular, and taking a retro spective view of our markets, we have, on the whole, to congratulate the trade, both manufacturers and exporters, on the year's business, although latterly, the extreme stringency of the money market in England has materially checked the consumption of wood go ds, and, it it last, may prevent stocks, which are by no means immoderate in England, from diminishing, as they would do under a more healthy state of financial matters. In October we took occasion to warn our friends on the St. Lawrence and Ottawa against manufacturing an excessive quantity, and we hope our warning will be attended to ; for, with au average export of about fourteen millions of feet of white pine, a supply like this year's must inevitably be injuriously felt in the market, unless things improve wonderfully in England. By the latest dates, prices were rather giving way, under the continued dearness of money, but still, under such unfavourable cir cumstances, the reduction in price was small. The stock of white pine wintering is larger considerably than last year, but a good deal is of ordinary and inferior quality. Red pine is large in stock. the low price in England having prevented any large export, and unless the quantity manufactured be very small, we do not see any great chance of improvement. At one time, in September and October, a rather better feeling existed, but it died away, and the market has closed dully at our quotations. OAR: We last year took occasion to remark on the inferior quality brought to market, and this season we see no amendment, much of what is wintering being similar to last year's. The same complaint is made from En gland TEETH IMPORTANT NOTICE. IT BETH MESSRS.
