MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, \Wednesday Evening

The tone of the Liverpool Cotton Market has been
quiet to-day, and only a small amount of business
has been done, the sales reaching to only 5,000 bales,
inclusive of 1,000 taken for speculation and export.
Prices have been rather easier, but not sufficiently so
to alter quotations.

The Liverpool Share Market has shown a stronger
feeling to-day, "and a fair amount of business has
been done, with prices- showing an upward move-
ment. The sales were':—Birkenhead, Lancashire,

The London Stock Market opened with a
disposition to improvement this morning, but in con-
sequence of the absence of 'business it was not sus-
tained, and prices closed a shade weaker than at the
opening. The final closing prices for Public Securi-
ties were as follow :—Consols, for Money and Account,
921, 921; ; Three per Cents., 92!„ 931-; Bank Stock,
219, 222 ; Exchequer Bills, Large and Small, 23,
26 pm.

The amount of business done in the London Share
Market has not been large, but in the earlier part of
the day it wore an improved tone, but the subsequent
depression in Consols caused a, slight reaction, and
prices finally left off as follow :—Ambergate, 51, 5;75;
Caledonian, 89, 891 ; Ditto Preference, 102,
104 ; Eastern Counties, 55i, 561 ; East Lancashire,
87, 89 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 72, 73; Great
Northern, 97, 99; Ditto A, '79, 81 ; Ditto B,
130, 1323 Great Westerr;s, 54, 55 ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 90, 91 ; Brighton, 111, 112 -;
North Western. 891, 901 ; South Western, 90, 91 ;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 30,
Midland, 981, 991 ; North British, 541, ;
ference, 109, 111 ; North Eastern—Berwick 88

881; Leeds Northern, 441, 451 ; 'York, 711, 721 ;
North Stafford, 4:1, 44; South Eastern, 661-, 673- ;
Turkish Sixes, 93, 91 ; Ditto Fours, 102, 104 ;
Great Western of Canada, 148, 144 ; New, 6, 51 ;
Trunks, Bfi, 1

The Traffic Return of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada, for the week ending the 4th inst., gives the
receipts as 8,2981. against 7,9581. for the correspond-
ing period of last year, being an increase of 339/.

The arrival is announced of the Suffolk, from
bourne, with 192;000l. in gold.

Amongst the investments yesterday was another
to the extent of 20,000/. New Three per Cent. stock.

The Bank's discount business does not revive, and
in the general market the demand yesterday was
moderate, at a reduction as regards the best bills of
about per cent. from the 'Bank minimum. _

A fresh fall of about 1 per cent. took place in
,Austrian stock at Vienna. on Monday, owing to the
pecuniary embarrasSMents of the government.
At Amsterdam, the rate of discount remains 3 per
cent., and at Hamburg, 2.

About 25,0001. in Russian gold was yesterday
sent into the Bank. The demand for gold for the
continent, however, continues active' the sum pur-
chased yesterday being .300,0001., including 220,0001.
American, by the Asia; and 80,0001. Russian, which
came to hand yesterday, per the steamer Zebra.
The 120,0001. in gold, ex La Plata, will likewise be.
sent away. The 227,000/. in Australian gold, ex the
Monarch and Essex, will be delivered to-day.

It appears that the creditors of Messrs. Y. Calvert
and Co., the brewers; have had a proposal submitted
•to them for continuing the business of the firm in
the form of a Joint-Stock Association. It is stated
by the inspectors that by this means the interest of
all parties will be best proteeted. ; and as the profits
of the brewery during the year to the 10th of April
last exceeded 40,000/., the suggestion is deservin,g
the attentive consideration of the respective classes
of creditors, who will be requested to decide upon
this subject at a meeting convened for the purpose.

The English
,Funds, which yesterday fell A, hive Co-day
risen fully 4 per cent. The belief that the hostile armies
'in 'ltaly are upon the eve of a battle which may have a
powerful influence upon the future course of the struggle,
induces, for the moment, a strong desire to contract specu-
lative transactions. Stock Exchange business is consequently
excessively dull. In the Discount Market, to-day, the best
bills were about 2 per cent. under, the Bank minimum.
About £25,000 in Russian gold was to-day sent into the
Bank. The demand for gold for the Coninent continues
active, the sum purchased to-day being £300,000. A fresh
fall of about 1 per cent. took place in Austrian stock at
Vienna, yesterday, owing to the pecuniary embarrassments
of the Government. At Amsterdam, the rate of discount
remains 3 per cent: ; and at Tiamburgh 2 per eent.—Daily
.21rews City Article, Tuesday Evening:

The English funds opened this morning at the depressed
quotations of yesterday, but there was subsequently an
improvement. In the
,foreign exchanges, this afternoon,

there was no alteration of importance fr-om the rates of last
post. Although another large battle is expected
almost immediately, no adverse effect is produced, since
many of the speculators are inclined to fancy it will prove
decisive, and hasten the negociation for peace. In the
railway market there has been a great recovery, arising
from re-purchases by former sellers,- and most of the
leading British stocks closed 1 to I per cent higher than
yesterday.—Times City Article, Tuesday Evening.

RAILIVAY NEws.--IThe London and North Western
Railway have issued proposals to renew their bonds, falling
due on the 15th of July, at 4 per cent., for three, five,
seven, or ten years. The Times says it is proposed that the
railways in the Eastern Counties district should be amalga-
mated, as soon as possible, under the title of the ,Great
Eastern Railway. The United Company would embrace
about 650 miles of railway.

MAIL NEWS.—The steamer Ellora is expected at Mar-
seilles on Friday next, with the liOlt portion of the Calcutta
and China mail, which will probably be delivered in London
on Monday.'
