MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The mar-
ket closed firmly, at the advance previously noticed this
week. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 300 Per-
nam and Maranham, at Cid, to 7d.; 200 Bahia, at 61d.
to 61d.•' 300 Egyptian, at 64d. to 7id.; and 500 Surat,
at 34-10. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, at
rather higher prices.
In the Produce Markets this week the dealings have
been to a moderate extent, end almost wholly for con-
sumption. The principal staples have supported about
former rates, end Coffee has slightly t)nded upwards.
Some Spices are rather lower, rod Rice is not in so much
request. Brandy hes 6.'11 a ready srle, and Cotton is
taken more freely. Tallow has been steady. For Con-
gou Tees the demand has been kept up. Jute is held
for high prices. Wool is firm.
The necessity of devising new means to cheapen and
facilihte the produa ion of sugar in our West India
possessions must laJ to well uuderstocd at this day to
seed much illustration o' enforcement, What remains
to be done, and what h: . been r-lcomplished in other
countries, it is, however, important to show. Both in
Cuba and the Unit :A Stirt.,.9, the owner or manager of
a property, as we ere informed, now employs for the
crop an experienced sugar maker, who has the manufac-
turing process enti-ely end exclusively under his ma-
nagement and care. He is entitled to this situation from
having established the charmer of being thoroughly
acquaintcl with his business; he has generally some
knowledge of chemistry—he possesses the latest and
most useful informa-ion of all the improvements that
have been discovered and rcently known—the books
and irrtruments reptired by a man who has made this
msnufeeture bis entire business. He gives the most un-
remitting attention not only to the improved manufac-
ture, but to the prevention of the theft of the sugar
made; he is not paid a salary, but so much per hogs-
head, generally one dollar each hogshead, sent off the
property.
In the present uncertain state of the sugar question
the absentee proprietors and mortgagees will not invest
further capitz.l in ?ny of the very many recent improve-
ments in machinery, &c., in the manufecture of sugar
on their own properties. The resident proprietors of
Jamaica, and some of the other colonies, should now
look to the present American system, which does net
require any capital t) try, and deserves to have their
earnest consideratior. They must keep in mind that
Barbadoes has lately doubled the crops the spirited
planters formerly made; that last year, although the
island is only the size of the parish of St. Ann, in
Jamaicr, with few natural advantages, they made the
immense crop of 40,000 tons, a larger quantity than
Jamaica made in 1850, and equal to the crop of 1851;
that Trinidad last year also made a larger crop thaa the
island ever produced, under even the very favourable
times of slavery and English
protection.
There is an increasing business doing in American
Securities nowt he fishery dispute is considered to be
settled. _ _ _

Owing to the recent altercat;on with the Chatham
boatmen, the c -romittee of Lloyd's have appointed an
agent for the Kentish cord specially to lcok to the pro-
tection of shipwrecked property, a tneesure of undoubted
utility, and calm-anted to save much envy feeling as
well as pillage.

A meeting of Portuguese Bondholders is convened for
next Wednesday. The miserable reglect by the Go-
vernment at Lisbon of its obligations towards the foreign
creditors demanded this public assemblage, though we
believe the Committee have not been idle hitherto.
The Amsterdam Stcck Market on the 18th inst. was
very brisk for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Fo-
reign Securities were without alteration.

Rather a large business has been done in Public Se-
curities, and the quotations are very well maintained.
Consols have bees 991 to 1 for Transfer, and 99i for
Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
bring 1031 to The Bank returns in this evening's
Gazette will show a large increase in the bullion. The
samples of Wheat shown in Mark-hue this morning
from the west endi south of England are so bad the
they can scarcely E 3 accepted as a fair crite-
rion, but still it stoutly maintained that
thousands of acres can be found es bad or e►en worse.
Th;s naturally eaucls surlJity, and although the I:se in
Wheat is not above fr., 1, would speedily h 3 much
greater if the statments /lade should be confirmed.
Consols now are rather weaker at 991. Bank Stock
is firm at 2254 to 2264. Exchequer-bills rerlise 74r. to
775. premium.
Foreign Stocks have been steady, but there have not
been such full pz:ces obtained for Grenade, the Deferred
being dealt in at 111 to 121. Mexican Bonds are in
favour at 25i to i; and Peruvian ere rather better
Brrzilian Old Stock is worth 1024. Equador Stock is
wort'i 44. Spanish New Deferred Bonds realise 214 to
224. Dutch Four per Cents. are 984. Belgian Four-
and-a-Half par Cents. 96 to 4.
Ia Railway Shares there is no decided movement.
Some aro looking up, including East Lancashire, Bris-
tol and Exeter, Ambergate, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and
Midland and South-Eastern; but there is a decline in
Great Northern, Great Western, North-Western, end
York end North. Midland. Foreign Shares are dull.
Gold Mines are steady.
