MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Monday Evening.

The Cotton Market to-day has been dull, and
there has been no change in price. The sales
reported amount to 7,000 bales, including 1,500
taken for export or on speculation.
The Liverpool Share Market has been in a very
firm condition to-day ; and although there was
not much activity, prices were firmly supported ;
and in the price of Sheffield Stock and Buffalo
Shares a material advance has been established—
in the former case upon a vague rumour with re-
gard to an arrangement with neighbouring
companies,
_and in the latter case from the
continued improvement in the traffic returns.
The transactions included—Blackburn, 11Z ; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 1001; London and North-
western, 991; 1-shares, yd. ; Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincoln, 381 19 4, 7-, ; South-eastern,

The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of yesterday :
THE MONEY MARKET, &c.

The steady character of the Bank return, and the firm
tone of the Paris quotations, have caused the English
funds to be well maintained to-day. The demand for
discount has again been very moderate. No gold was
taken from the Bank. The railway market business is
at a complete stand.—Times.

There was no variation of the slightest interest in the
Stock Exchange. Uncertainty as to the course of home
politics, however, checks speculative purchases. In the
share markets prices were steady. The supply of money
in commercial channels continues to increase, whilst the
demand has fallen off. The best bills were discounted
at 31 and even 3i per cent.—Daily News.
