MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL,

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING

The Africa's advices have had bat little if any
effect upon the state of the Cotton Market to-day.
The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which
speculators and exporters took 2,500. Prices of all
kinds remain much the same as on Friday. We
append our usual periodical report of the quantity
of American Cotton at sea, including all advised
per Africa : „,

tri addition to the report of the Cotton Market
in New York, inserted in another column, we
append the following from Messrs. Schceder and
Co. :—The advancing tendency of Cotton prices
still continues, and since our last report of the 30th
ult., quotations are ac higher ; we have to quote
middling New Orleans 131-c ; middling Upland
121 c. There has been a fair demand during the
week, and the market closes very firm. Accounts
from the South about the new crop are exceedingly
unfavourable, and there are few now who expect a
yield over three millions of bales. Freights are a
shade firmer, and rates to Liverpool 5-32 d ; to
Havre 4d. Money is tight. Exchange on Eng-
land quiet. Sterling 91d. Paris 5-161. The same
firm thus report the New Orleans market :—Sales
of the week are 31,000 bales; the market closes
animated ; Low Middling is worth 12ic ; Middling
12ic to 121 c. Accounts of the crop from the
country are bad, and estimates decreasing. There
is a large demand for France and all the Continent.
Clearances for Great Britain for the week, none.
Receipts this week amount to 5i,000 bales, against
40,000 bales same time last year. Freight to
Liverpool, id. Exchange dull. London 81 per
cent. _ _ _

ment took place. There was a good business

We have not any material change to notice in the
state of the Money Market, at the same time
there is still little desire to do bills except at
extreme rates. The market for Public Securities
opened this morning with quietnes, but last week's
rates were sustained. Consols for Money opened
at 914 914, and the same for the 6th of November,
and subsequently were 911 914. The Three per
Cents Reduced are 914 914 ; and the New Three
per Cents, 92 924. In the afternoon Consols were
924 921 for Money lied Account. The New Threes
were marked 911 914. Exchequer Bills, 2s to 5s
prem , and do. Bonds, 981.
A very moderate business was done in Railway
Shares this morning in London, and prices did not
rule quite ao high. A decline of about 4to 1 per
cent may be quoted on most of the chief lines.
Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee are 331 Great
Northern, 921 931. Great Western, 641 641.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 944. North Western,
1024 1024. South Western, 1031 1044. Midland,
771 771 North British, 37. North Eastern,
Berwick, 791 ; and South Eastern, 681.
There is still a pause in the grain trade. The
weather continues fine, and is in some respects
rather improving the quality of the new grain. At
Mark-Lane, to-day, there was but little done in
English wheat, but there was not any change in
prices. The trade generally, although quiet, was
steady, Telegraphic despatches from other quer
ters give a similar view of the grain trade,
There is a steady feeling in the Produce Markets
both of Liverpool and London. Sugar, tea, and
coffee maintain late rates, and the enquiry for tea
has improved, sound common oongou bringing
94d. to 94d. per lb. in the London market. The
price of tallow is stiffly maintained, and more en-
quiry has sprung up.

The usual weekly return of the Shipping Statis-
tics of the Port of Liverpool was issued from the
Bill of Entry " Office this morning, from which
