MONETARY AND CONtiVIER,CIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Monday Evening. -
The tenor of the American news _ reeeived by
the Arabia, has had the effect of causing a reaction
in the Liverpool Cotton Market, which has been
very quiet to-day, the sales amounting only to
6,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for speculation
and export. Prices -were a shade, easier. The
following are the particulars of Cotton in the
ports of America, received by the Arabia, from the
Ist of Sept. 1858, to Feb. 9, 1859.

There has been rather more activity in the Pro-
duce markets to-day, and some considerable
transactions in Rice are reported, and prices have
been firmer.

A cargo of Rio Coffee has been taken for 46s 9d
for a near continental port. In Rum 'there has
been a moderate business at steady prices. The
Sugar market being freely supplied there has been,
more business doing, but no change can be re-
ported in prices.
The Liverpool Share Market, influenced by the
tone of the reports from London, has been heavy
all day, and with few transactions prices have been
heavy, and generally closed at a decline
from Saturday's closing quotations. The
following were the actual sales : Cale-
donian, 8311
,Eastern Counties, .121 ; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 952, 954, 951, 95fr, 95+;
London and North Western, 951 ; Midland, 1011 ;
North Eastern Berwick Stock, 93+ ; South
Eastern, 22 ; Great Luxembourg, 61; Great
Western of Canada, 15g:, 151, 15Z.
The continued, and indeed increasing uncer-
tainty which attaches to Continental affairs, has
again had an injurious effect upon the London
Stock Market, which opened heavily, and con-
tinued throughout the day to show a downward
movement, Consols for Money opened at 954. to
951, and finally left off weak at 95+. Three per
Cents. opened at 951, and closed at 95;§-, to 951.
The Railway Share Market was weak froni the
opening to the close, and the amount of business
done was quite small. The final closing prices
were the lowest of the day. Bank and Mining
shares showed but little change throughout
the day. The following were the closing
prices for Railway Shares : —Ambergate, Not-
tingham, and Eastern Junction, 6+, 6 ;
Caledonians, 831, 841 ; Eastern Counties, 60+ ;
East Lancashire, 90, 952; • Edinburgh and
Glasgow, 71, 72 ; Great Northern, 104+ ;
Do. A., 88, 89 ; Great Westerns, 551, 56} ;
Great Western of Canada, 15Z, 164-- ; Grand Trunk
of Canada, 291, 30+ ; Great Southern and Western,
*lO4, 105; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 942„ 95+;
London and North Western, 941, 95 ; London
and South Western, 92+ ; Leeds Northern,
48} ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 37* ;
Midland Stock, 101+ ; North British, 571,
57+ ; South Eastern and Dover, 73+ ; York,
' Newcastle, and Berwick, 921, 931; York and
North Midland, 771, 781.
The state of the Money Market remains inactive,
and the rate for first-class paper does not exceed
2 per cent. This condition of things arises from
the doubt and • uncertainty which prevail with
respect to the adjustment of political difficulties on
the Continent, great caution continuing to be
exercised in the departments connected with the
export trade. At the Bank of England the appli-
cations on Saturday were moderate, and have
gradually decreased within the last few' days.
Through the generally abundant supply of capital
the terms for accommodation on the Stock Ex-
change are exceedingly low, the absence of
animation preventing the employment of any
considerable surplus.
The telegrams from Paris, this afternoon, are
anything but re-assuring. The Bourse has been
heavy, and with few transactions prices have had
a declining tendency all day. Rentes were done
at 67.75, and subsequently declined to 67.55, at
which they were flat at the close.
Dulness prevailed to-day in the Stock Exchange. The
funds have declined about 2 per cent, being unfavourably
effected by the terms of the circular addressed by the
French Minister of the Interior to the prefects. The
political crisis, continues to weigh heavily on most
branches of business, and a very impatient feeling is
tho Marhot to day oboinp bills
were done between 2 and 21 per cent. There were no
gold operations at the Bank.—Daily News City Article,
Saturday Evening.

The English Funds opened this morning at a recovery
of 3.1, but it was not maintained, and the market has
again closed with a very bad appearance. The bullion at
the Bank is greater than at any time during the last six
years, and is the consequence of prevailing alarm, which
is causing money to be withdrawn or withheld from all
descriptions of enterprise.--Times City Article, Saturday
