MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening.
The Cotton Market to-day was firm though not
very active. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales,
of which 1,000 were for export or taken on specu-
lation.

In the Liverpool Share Market the feeling was
of an improved kind, some stocks being in good
demand at rather higher rates. On the announce-
ment of a dividend of three and a-half per cent.
on Great Western stock, with a surplus of
.£25,000, the shares of that company rose about
one pound each ; and although Canadian shares
were a little fiat, the general market closed with
firmness. The day's business included Caledo-
nians at 931 a ; Eastern Counttes, 1 l 5-16 ;
Great Western, 66a a z; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 1004 1; Lancaster and Carlisle Con.
