MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 15,000 to 20,000 bales, of which 2,000
American were taken for export, and 6,000 American
and 500 Surat on speculation. The market closed
firmly, and with animation. Fell prices were obtained
for all kinds, and Sea Island was id. to Id. dearer.
The sales comprised 14,000 American, 2,000 Pentane
and Maranham at 6d. to 7*(1., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd.,
1,000 Surat at 31d. to 41d., and 50 Sea Island at ls. 4d.
to 2s. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat.
The steamer Baltic brings more specie from the United
States, 185.000 dollars, and a large number of passen-
gers, that augurs most favourably for extended com-
mercial intercourse with Europe. Cotton was still ad-
vancing, but grain was dull.
At the National Bank of Ireland meeting just held
the net profits of 1851 were stated at 21,2831. 63.9 d.
The report is satisfactory, and more of the bad debts
have been written off, while the reserved fund has been
increased.
The tendency of Foreign Bills of Exchange yester-
day afternoon was rather to advance. Paris was taken
at 25 65 to 67i, Amsterdam 12 2 to 2k, Ilemburgh
13 Ilk to and Trieste 12 12 to 12 40.
The Austrian loan seems likely to be engrossed
wholly by the Messrs. Rothschilds and the friends who
feel bound by their intimate relations with them
to take an interest in the same. The
public . are perfectly apathetic in the matter, and
the jobbers on the Stock Exchange manifest no anxiety
to name a price. Under these circumstances it will
rest with the " tact" of the firm to place the
stock in strong bands, where it must be held rather
as an investment than a security, out of which an im-
mediate and speculative profit can be obtained. We
can readily understand that the contractors themselves
should find an advantage in the operation, because
they have an ample commission, but it is im-
possible to conceive that any individual acting
as a free agent would take up the stock as a source
of income, even with the attraction of payment in the
precious metal at the places where the respective amounts
are subscribed. Who,'we would ask, in sober earnestness,
has a definite knowledge of the total amount of the Aus-
trian National Debt? Who can place confidence in a finan-
cial system fed by repeated loans, or in a revenue noto-
riously deficient? Who can believe that Austria will
dispense with a large standing army, or re-
gard otherwise than as a mockery the few
thousand florins just struck off the war budget?
Finally, who would trust a Government that solemnly
engages to pay in current coin, and substitutes paper
enormously depreciated, that posts the agents of police
at the gates of the Bourse, to coerce the capitalist seek-
ing to deal in bills according to the principle of supply
and demand, that orders the arrest and transportation of
respectable merchants and brokers that refuse to sub-
mit, and then employs its official income to bolster up
the exchange to the ruin of those who simply
believe the improvement will last ? It will need
all the support the Emperor of Russia can give to enable
Austria to meet its expenditure, and future loans are
certain to be brought forward, if the present one is
taken.
The English Funds have been unsteady, and the
quotations are not quite equal to those obtained ,

day,

Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents•
have been at 101 to 1011, and the Three per Cents. at
Bank Stock is supported at 220 to 221, and
I9usidiatoStock
at 272. The premium on the June Exche-
quer-bills has been 675. to 695.
Foreign Securities have been flatter. Mexican Three
per Cents. are not worth more than 241 :al, the Five per
Cents. being 3l ii. The news from the Re-
public is considered good, but advantage is
taken of the limited business doing. Equador
Bonds are firm at 4*. Nonlife.", has been done in
Peruvian. Spanish Three per Cents. Deferred have
been at 201 French Three per Cents, have been at
70.25, with the exchange at 25.50. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, have been at 61i
Railway Shame have been very depressed, and the
carrying over of the account has occupied the brokers,
and affected the quotations. The depression is extra-
ordinary in the present state of the Money Market, but
there was about this time last year a nearly similar state
of things, and, if we recollect rightly, a subsequent re-
action. French Shares have not varied to any extent.
Mining Shares are steady both as regards Australian
and California, bat not brisk.
