MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 American and 500
Surat were taken for export, and 100 American on
speculation. The market closed very firmly with prices
of all kinds 1-16 d. per lb. dearer. The sales comprised
6,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranham at 54d. to
60., 600 Egyptian at 60. to Bd,, and 1,000 Surat at 3d.
to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at rather
lower prices.
In reporting upon the state of the Indigo and dry-
saltery, as well as the general markets, during tho past
month, Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewsbury remark that
there has been considerable activity and that advanced
prices have been readily obtained. The Continental de-
mand has been good. As to the stocks they have been
increased by large arrivals.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. Bd. per
quarter, and the last week's sales officially returned were
90,158 quarters.
Now shipping is being so freely taken up for Antra-
lion emigration, statistics bearing upon the probable
supply of vessels are interesting. It has long been
stated that a large number of vessels have lain idle at
San Francisco, owing to the desertion of crews, but
as the excitement wears off, the seamen evince less dis-
position to abandon their favourite occupation, and those
who have made money at the " diggins" are anxious to
work their way back. In this case we may assume that the
number of ships in California is much smaller than it was.
Another matter, however, that has to be considered is,
whether craft of a very inferior class was not sent to
San Franoisco upon the assumption that they would have
to be left to rot there, and if this be so, they are
not fit for the conveyance of emigrants. Inquiry
and experience alike tend to satisfy us that there will
be plenty of vessels available, and although the owners
and brokers will naturally exert themselves to " make
hay while the sun chines," and push up their charges as
much as possible, competition will prevent any serious
hindrance to emigration. The Government agent at the
port of London has his hands full, and among
recent examples of his vigilance, we are pleased to re-
cord the fact of port-holes having been ordered to be cut
in a first-class clipper vessel, adapted perhaps more for
speed than passenger accommodation. In corroboration
of the view we take that ships are getting away from
California, we may call attention to the subjoined table
of the commerce of San Francisco during January,
February, and March, which shows more departures
than arrivals, especially of United States' vessels:—

Tho English Stock Market has been extremely firm,
although there is scarcely any speculation. The know-
ledge that there are orders to buy for investment when-
ever the market recedes necessarily keeps up the
values. The Bank of England has not yet inti-
mated that it will lend on stock, and Ex-
chequer• bills on lower terms than heretofore,
but it is considered that few persons will be content
with the present abundance of cash to give more
than 4 per cent. Consols have been 1001 i for
