MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LISEUPOOL, Saturday Evening.
The news from A.nactien has impar`ed a con-
siderable degree of firmness to our Cotton Market,
and viriees to-day were id to I l per lb above
those, of Wednesday last. The sales to-day were
7,001) bales, including 2,000 on speculation and for
evoort.

There was a fair business done in the Liverpool
i_ihare Market to day, and prices exhibited an up-
ward tendency The following were the days sales :
—Bristol and Exeter, 8.11- ; Lanca-shire arid York-
shire, 93, 93k, 938. 931; London and North
Western 961, 961. 961, 961, Do., 1 Shares, d.;

There was an active demand for Money toAtty,
and full rates of discount were in all cases freely
paid. There was not however, any difficulty in
negotiating first class ,commercial paper. The
Market for the Public Fun's was rather active

to-day, arid at one time an advance of fully i per
cent was established, hat this caused a number of
sales, and prices reseeded about per cent. It is
seldom that there is so much buoyancy and activity
nn a Saturday, but the speculators for a fall, who
lately pursued their operations to a large extent,
seeing that the 'circumstances on which they
calculated were not sufficiently powerful to pro-
duce a fall, deemed it expedient at once to retire
from the market. The Bank of England's Return
no doubt stimulated the improvement, but the
" fright" of me.'y of the time-dealers was of the
most remarkable character. The agere7ate amount
of sales was extremely' large, and there can be no
doubt that very heavy losses have been incurred.
The next settling day is consequently looked
forward to with some apprehension. It is estima•
ted that the purchases for the December Account
have already reached to upwards of one million
sterling. There is, as usual, great inclination to
make purchases iu anticipation a the dividends,
and "continuations" are cheerfully paid. Cossoll
for Money were dealt in as Lllows: 891, 90, 901,
901, and 90i,901 ; for the 10th proximo they were
.891 90, 901, WI, 90-1, 904, 904, 901; and at the
official close they were 901-; For the December
Account the prices were 904,:91 and afterwards :94,
901. The New Three per Cedts rose to 891 894
but were subsequently 89k, 891; till Reduced were
89. to 891.1 Bank Stock rose from 209 to 210, and
East India Stock remained quiet at 210.

The London Produce Markets have been very
quiet this week, and, as the demand is limited,
holders wishing to realise have been compelled to
unapt lower quotations. Sugar has receded ls.. to
2s. per cwt., but this concession has not attracted
purchasers, and a large quantity offered publicly
has been withdrawn. Most descriptions of Coffee
have been dull, but in Plantation Ceylon there has
been .much activity, and a rise of is to '2i has
taken place. Tea is firmer; Cccoa remains steady ;
and Rice has declined 6d to is per cwt. Rum has
been quie, and rather heavy apices are dull of
sale, and at the public auctions of Cinnamon a
reduction of Id to 2d per lb. has occurred.
Business in Saltpetre has been confined within
very narrow limits, but full rates are current.
Tallow is steady, and P.Y.C. is 56s 9d per -eivt. on
the spot.
Little alteration has taken place in the general
state of trade in Leeds The few buyers that have j
