MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening.
The Cotton Market to-day was firm at the
established rates of the week. The sales amounted
to 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken on
speculation, or for export. Concerning the week's
business, Messrs. George Holt & Co., in their

circular, say :
All the saleable qualities of American Cotton are
dearer. The demand has been fair throughout the
whole of the week, but as the trade do not generally buy
more than just sufficient for their immediate consump-
tion, the market continues without life or animation ;
notwithstanding this, however, all the better descriptions
of American are 1-16 d. to id. higher in price, while the
dusty and sandy sorts are, if possible, becoming every day
more unsaleable ; the only business to any extent in this
kind is to speculators and exporters, at extremely low prices.
We now quote "middling " Uplands, 61d. ; Mobile,
7d. ; and Orleans, 70. .The Committee of Brokers
place " fair " Uplands, 70Mobile,
. ; 73d ; and Or-
leans, 71d.—we consider the quotation for Uplands too
low. Surats have been in good demand; but as
holders offer their stocks freely, and are anxious to make
progress in sales, prices are kd. in favour of buyers.
Egyptians and Brazils are also dull of sale, and may be
considered an to id. lower in the last fortnight.
There has been considerable change in the Manchester
markets during the last two or three weeks, sales having
been made at id., and in some instances ld., decline from
previous rates. Thr accounts from the United States are
generally favourable for the crop ; there are, however, '
complaints of too much rain in some sections of the
country. 2,070 American, 880 Surat, and 160 Egyptian
are reported to have been taken on speculation ; 2,010
American, 9,250 Surat, 30 Pernam, and 150 Bahia for
ex-prt ; so that the deliveries to the trade for the week
have been about 45,000 bales.
The Liverpool Share Market has been: dull—
indeed stagnant—throughout the week, and prices
showed a drooping tendency. To-day, however,
the tone of the market has been decidedly firmer,
and an advance in prices has been established
and well sustained, the market closing at its best,
point, and with an upward tendency. The
London and North Western, and Great Western
Stocks having been most prominent in demand.
The business transacted to-day, included Birken-
heads at 77 ; Caledonian at 891; Great Western,
63a_ ; Lancaster and Carlisle, third shares, 16 „hp. ;
London and North Western, 94k ; South Eastern,
22 15-16 ; Buffalo and Lake Huron, 5k ; Grand

In the general Produce Markets, a fair amount
of business has been done during the week. Tea has
rather improved in value. Coffee, though most
wanted, has not arrived in quantity, and conse-
quently little business has been done. For Sugar, a
fair amount of inquiry has been felt ; and the same
has been the case with Molasses, Rice, and Rum.
The Cora Market of the past week has exhibited
firmness rather than biloyaney, and prices have
been in favour of sellers. The narrow compass
into which the stocks of first class French and
Irish Flour are getting, with a good demand daily,
for consumption, enhances thi value, and they
command each 41s. 6d. to 425. per 2801bs. Some
good sound Canadian new red Wheat,' and new
Flour (arrived by steamer this week), were sold,
the former at 6s. 6d. per 701b5., and the Flour at
275. to 28s. per barrel.

In the English Stock Market a better feeling
has prevailed to-day, business commencing with
a more cheering appearance. At the commence-
ment Consols were quoted at from -1 to a per
cent. higher than the final close of last night, and
throughout the morning have been well supported,
Consols
being now at 951 96 for money and
account. Bank Stock is 2202 222 and 2192 ;
ditto for account, 221 and 222 ; India Debentures,
96j 951 and 96 ; the Bonds 2 dis. to par • and
Exchequer Bills 275. 28s. and 255. prem.
The English Railway Share Market, though
quiet, exhibited greater firmness in price, and a
tendency to improve was apparent. Caledonian,
Eartern Counties, with South Easterns, have
advanced about 10s. per share ; South Westerns
and Berwicks are I per cent. better,
The market for Foreign Securities was mode-
rate, and values were generally maintained with
steadiness, without presenting any material
change, except in those for Turkish Old Stocks,
whichi li
have declined about -I to per cent. The
New Sixes have not fluctuated to any quotable
extent. New Indian Loan is at 1021
The quotation for French Rentes, at a quarter-
Past twelve, was 69f. 40c., thence to 69f. 30c.,
