MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Wednesclny Evening

The Cotton Market is rather firmer, and the
business done to-day larger-the sales amounting
to 6 000 bale?) 500 of which were on speculation
and for export.
owing to the gloomy and perhaps one-sided
views taken of Indian affairs by the leading news-
papers, the Liverpool Share Market opened very
dull to-day, and the feeling of distrust was at one
time increased by the stoppage of a small firm.
At the close of the matket, however, there was a ,1
better: feeling, and as stocks are by no means
plentiful, any favorable occurrence might in-,-
fluenee the market very favorably. The fol-
lowing were the day's transactions. Caledoniae,

The commercial accounts from Bombay, appear
to indicate an improvement in the demand for
manufactured goods, as well as in the shipments
of produce; and the rate of exchange had become
less unfavourable for England, to the extent of 14
per cent. At Calcutta, on the other hand, there
had been an adverse movement of I per cent. At
Shanghai there had, apparently, been a decline of
about 2 per cent , which will have a further cot,-
siderable effect in checking the drain to China.
The Hong Kong rate remains without alteration.
The ( xoorts of tea to date, were 4,400,0001b5., and
of silk 6 500 bales.
The Bankers' Magazine furnishes us with par-
ticulars of the movements of the private and Joint
Stock Banks, for the four weeks ending August 29
The average weekly circulation of the former
was £3,466 312 and of the later, £2,950,775, or of
both of £6 367 089; the private banks are £901.005,
and the Joint- tocks £401,582, below the fixed
issue. The average circulation of the Irish and
Scotch banks was 10.157,8071 -viz , 6,221 8101. for
the Irish, and 3,932,997/ for the Scotch banks.

The Liverpool Wool sales commenced yesterday.
The lots offered met with great competition, and
rather higher prices were obtained. A full report
of the proceedings will be found in another column.
The statemeats current with respect to the posi-
tion of Messrs. Harrison, Watson, and Co , of Hull,
continue unsatisfactory, and an impression has
-gained ground that the affairs of the house will have
to be thrown into the Bankruptcy Court, which
-alone will be able to deal authoritatively with the
conflicting interests involved. It is announced that
the firm of Messrs. Taylor aed Bright, corn and seed
merchants, of Hull, have suspended payment. In
addition to the 90,0001 advanced by the hank to the
latter gentleman,a ho was chairman to the Hull Flax
and Cotton Mill Company, and to the 20 0001 lent
to the Cettou Company itself, it is alleged that Mr.
Hassell, one of the largest shareholders in the
company, is indebted to the bank to the enormous
amount of £130,000. If Messrs. Harrison, Wat-
son, and Company's affairs were conducted with
any degree of prudence, it is difficult to conceive
hew two or three individuals can have beceme
possessed of such enormous sums, the bulk of
which were doubtless derived from the deposits
lodged in the bank. For an investigation of these
and other p rots the public procedure of the Court
et Bankruptcy seems indispensable.
The market for tea has become firmer since the

Yesterday there was a meeting of the share-
holders of the Liberty Mining Company, to decide
upon the report of Mr. Conquest, who has just
returned from the mine The report recommended
the shareholders to subscribe sufficient to pay
their debts, and to sink the mine another ten
fathoniak which, with additional labour, it was
thought would make the mine profitshle. The
liabilities amounted to 1,7001, and to sink the shaft
would requite 3001 After some discussion the

directors were empowered to raise the necessary
capital, by preference shares of 11 each, to be
issued at 10s, and to hear interest at 10 per cent.
to be returned, should the property of the company
be brought to a sale.
At a meeting held yesterday of he shareholders
of the Linares Lead Mining Company, Mr. W.
Warne in the chair, the report and accounts were
adopted, and a dividend of 68 8d per share was
declared. For the half-year ending the 30th of
June there had been a considerable increase in the
profits, and the directors have invested 1,2321, or
one-tenth, as the commencement of a reserve fund.
