MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

FRIDAY EVENING

The sales of Cotton to-day were about 7,000
bales, including 1,000 on speculation and for ex-
port, the market having closed quietly at a
decline since this day week of Id. per lb. on the
cleaner and better sorts of American, and at a
greater reduction on the sandy and dusty quali-
ties. Brazils have also a downward tendency,
and Egyptians are slightly easier ; Surats are
1-16 d., and in some instances dd. per lb. lower.
The total sales of the week were 33,970 bales,
and the imports 60,165. The stock in Liverpool is
657,950 bales. Messrs. G. Holt, in their circular,
say

The pause in buying from the trade during the past
fortnight, and the moderate demand for Cotton gener-
ally, has had its effect upon prices. Our market has
again been very dull throughout the week, and, as
holders continue to show the same disposition to sell,
we have to report a further reduction in prices,
amounting to:from 1-16th to 4d. on the "middling'
and common qualities of American. The low dusty sorts
are difficult of sale at the extreme decline, while the
better grades are scarce, and command the quotations of
last week. Surats have only been in moderate demand,
and partake also of this decline, and the same may be
said of Egyptian and Brazil Cotton. We now quote
"middling" -Uplands, 6yd. ; Mobile, 7d. ; and Orleans,
70. The Committee of Brokers place "fair" -Uplands,
79d. ; Mobile, 70. ; and Orleans, 84d. The less'
favourable accounts from India, acting to some extent
on trade in Manchester, have no doubt had some influ-
ence in causing our present quietness and depression.
The accounts from America are very favourable for the
growing crop. 3,740 American are reported to have
been taken on Speculation ; 1,690 American, 1,270
Surat, 50 Madras, 870 Egyptian, and 100 Pernam, for
export ; so that the deliveries to the trade for the week
have been about 26,250 bales.

An advance of from Q to 1 per cent. has taken
place in the Liverpool Stock Exchange during the
past week, and although there has not been much
business done, the gradual tendency of the market
has been of a hardening character. The follow-
ing are the day's transactions :—Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 951; London and North-western, 941,
=,l; Midland, 1051, ; Dovers, 22k.
In the market for the Public Funds and
Securities to-day there was a somewht better feel-
ing ; and although the actual business doing was
limited, prices at the close were k per cent. higher
than on yesteday, Consols being quoted at 951 to
95t for both money and the account, and the
New Threes at 96 to 96k. Exchequer Bills were
quiet at 23 to 27 prem.
The London Railway Share Market, to-day,

and with a moderate busi-
pnZeaseing

No new feature has presented itself in the Cotton
market during the past week. The crop accounts from
the States continue most flattering, whilst the advices
from Manchester with regard to business have scarcely
been so good. The demand for Cotton has been only

moderate , holders being wishful to progress with sales,
have offered their stocks very freely, and buyers have
had the advantage of id. per lb. on the middling and
better qualities, and id. per lb. on the ordinary descrip-
tions of American. Brazil, very dull; Maceios, kd. per
lb. lower; Egyptian, without change; Surat, 1-16 d. per
lb. lower. The weekly sales are 33,970 bales, of which
3,740 are on speculation, and 3,980 for export.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET

-AUGUST 19

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tues-
day are confined to moderate quantities of Oats and
Oatmeal ; and from foreign ports they are now very
limited. The weather has been unsettled, and heavy
rains have fallen every night, but, the days being fine,
there has not been much interruption to harvest opeia'-
tions. The demand for Wheat and Flour has been on
a moderate scale, without much variation in prices.
Oats and Oatmeal continue to decline. In other articles
there is no material change in value or demand.

This day's market was pretty well attended, and an
improved demand was experienced for old Wheat, a con-
siderable quantity being taken for interior consumption
at the extreme rates of Tuesday. Flour also met a
somewhat better demand, at full
.prices. Oats and Oat-
meal continue languid and declining. Barley and Beans
were in slow request, at about previous rates. Indian
Corn met about the usual retail demand for feeding pur-
poses, at former prices. Weather very fine and hot.
