The sales of Cotton to-day were 5,000 bales, in-

about steady prices. During the week the sales

The Commercial Bills, which fell due yesterday,
did not represent a very heavy total, In most
cases the payments were made with promptitude,
and no more than the average number of bills was
returned. It is thought that in a few days the
demand for Money will slacken, and the continued
arrival of Gold from Australia and America must

naturally tend to afford relief ; and, judging from
concurrent circumstances, and future prospects,
there is little to justify any uneasiness with
regard to business, for though it is just possible
that the condition of affairs in France may become
still more perplexed, there is, nevertheless, nothing
connected with monetary or political concerns
in this country to awaken mistrust. To-day
the Market for the Public Funds and Securities
was more buoyant, and we have to notice an advance
of 4 per cent Consols for Money closed.. at 938
to 94, and for the account at 94-1- to 94-2-; and after
official hours the same quotations were current.
Exchequer Bills were steady at par to four, p tn. ;
and the New Three per .Cents. at 921 to 92/.
We have been kindly furnished with a proof
sheet of Messrs. Littledale's circular for the East
Indies, from which we make the following
extracts :

The contest between dear money- and dear produce
remains nnchangad, but we fear the effect is beginning to
tell severely in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire,
profits have long ceasal to the many. and it has become a
trial of strength even with the more powerful;—failures
at first confined to small men, have this month
extended to names of Oil stairling, with no prospect
for the better, rather for the worse. Our stock of
Cotton has already passed its ITAXiMUIII for the year,
and without an immediite resort to short time, it must
prove inadequate to the consumption, and higher prices
will be the result, whilst we can see little prospect of
cheaper Money. Wohout any great disturbing c-ause as
War, deficient harvest, large railway demamls, exccess
speculation or overtrading, Money ought not be at its
present value, there is unsoundnoss somewhere, whether
to be atiributedito the restrictive action of the Bank Act,
or the non-restrictive effects 'of the Bank ftf France and
the Credit Mobilier," it may be difficult to judge, but the
point of danger is with the latter.

Messrs. Vttledale in their Circular to be issued
:0-morrow, make the following general remarics

After a hug prevalence of easterly winds, by which
vessels were detained in the channel, we have bad, during
the, last fortnight, large arrivals of all kinds of -Produce,
and our markets have in eonsequerice received a slight
chic':, but with the exception of Sugar, Jute, and Salt-
petre, which may be quoted is to 2i lower, prices are
well sustained, and the position of all our le!ding products
unasuallTstrong, being • more suseeptibla of .an-adv4mus
than a decline. Sugar will probably receive • the, first
material check from the Beetroot crop of the Continent;
or Vie result. of the next Cane crop of- Lousiana—greatly '
increased planting has taken place in both instances, arid
should the requirements of the Continent to a good 'extent
be supplied by the one, or those A the United States by the li
other, the active competition which has existed in all the
Foreign markets between the American, Contiantal and
our own buyers will cease, and !Alcoa in all probability go
back—but some months will elapse before this can be; known,
and in the meantime our fruit crop promised to be abundant
and our supply of Sugar inideqaate to the demand. The
immense deficiuney in the shipments.of Rice from the East
amounting to 125,000 tons to Furope (91,000 from ,Akvab
alone, and the season nearly closed) should certainly
improve prices here, as our stocks are n ,w reduced to a
moderate comp:lse—say in London aniltons against 51,000 tens same time last

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-JuNE 6.

The dulness now for some time noticeable in the Cotton market has
continued throughout the present week; the daily transactions have
been .f a moderateehara,Aer, the trade limiting their operations to
present absolute requirements. whilst speculators and exporters have
taken an' average quantity. Holders, however, having exhibited a
perfect indifference 'about selling, excepting when fall prices were
_obtainable. have imparted great steadiness to the market, and last
week's quotsdions for the current qualities of American are hilly
maltralned, the lower classes being still neglected.
Brazil and Egyptian in moderate request at late rates.
Surat without change.

The weekly sales are 45,080 bales, of which 4,380 ura on speculation

BEEF.—A full average extent of business is reported for the week ;
prices on the whole are about supported, though an occasional sale,
ex quay, to avoid warehousing expenses, is made at a slight reduc-
tion.

moderate, holders do not press prices lower.

pointing, and only about a third of the quantity offered found buyers,

prove beneficial to the consumpt•on.
