MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVEPOOL, Monday Evening.

The Cotton Market to-day was rather better,
with a rather more general enquiry. Holders,
however, offering freely, prices tended slightly in
favour of buyers. The sales amounted to 8,000
bales, of which about 2,000 were for export, or
taken on speculation.

- In the Liverpool Share- Market there was but
little animation, and prices of heavy stocks have
slightly given way. Dovers were in good
-demand, and 'so: likewise were Grand Trunk
Shares,:the latter showing an advanee' of 63; per
share over previous Prices; owing chiefly, if not:.
alt-ogether by the satisfactory accounts brought
from Canada, by the managing director of the Com-
pany. The transactions included Eastern Counties
at 11 740 ; Edinburgh arid GlasgoW, SO ; Great
Northam, 1051 ; Great -Western, 'O7l, 8; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 99i; London and North-
:Western, 981; ; ditto, 3 shares, id. ; SoutliL
Eastern, 2-1 7.16, 9-16 ; Grand Trunk of
Canada, 10; North and South Wales Bank, 3 L ;

The- following appeared in a part of our
impression on yesterday :

THE MONEY MARKET.

The English funds }vire been quiet throughout the
day, at the slight reaction of last evening. In the dis-
count market there has been a good demand to-day for
a Saturday. The approach of the fortnightly settlement
next week has led to some realisations in the railway
market ; one large speculative account for the rise hav-
ing especially been closed. Several of the heavier
British stocks have consequently declined Ato per
cent.—Times.
Consols declined kto per cent. The heavier Rail-
way Stocks were also slightly weaker. The cause was
realisation by operators for the rise, desirous of securing
their profit. Generally the reduction in price was not
of much importance. In the demand for money a fair
dejgree of activity prevailed. Discounters ask Bank
minimum for best bills. About £20,000 in gold were
withdrawn from Bank to-day for the Continent. The

SUGAR.—The market continues steady,* but owing to
the. firmness of holders nothing has been done on the
spot, and the sales are confined to `a small cargo of
Paraiba, to arrive, part new and part of the old crop, at
235. 3d. per pat. floating conditions, landing weights,

Nothing has been reported in Molasses or Rum.
