MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken on speculation. The market closed firmly, Ame-
rican at an advance of 1-16 d., all other descriptions being
tight. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 120 Per-
nam and Maranham, at 5-id. to 6d.; 70 Bahia, at 6d.;
100 Egyptian, at Bd. to 9d.; 1,500 Surat, at 3id to 4-4.1.:
and 50 Sea Island, at Is. Id. to ls. 4d. per lb.—The
market for Railway Shares continued firm, and prices
were generally advancing.
Of the London markets Messrs. W. and J. report a 3
follows: —The improved tone in the Foreign and Colo•
vial Produce Market has continued throughout 'he past
month, and some of the leading articles have experience d
a slight advance, which has, however, for the moment,
somewhat checked business, particularly for export or-
ders. Importers have freely supplied the markets, but
are firm in demanding full earrent rates. The deliveries
both for export and home consumption show a consi-
derable increase as compared with last year; the im-
portations have, however, continued large, a7.,d the
stocks generally are in excess of previous years. The
reports from the continental Produce Markets are lately
more favourable, and prices are firmer.
The official accounts, relating to trade and navigation,
have been made ep for the month to Feb. 5. Among
the imports, we notice the following articles as being
most important :

Animals, number
Wheat, qrs....
Flour. cwts.

From these figures an ides may be formed of the ba-
lance of trade and the amount of duties accruing, the
four last items always yielding considerably towards
the total.
The exports of the month were as follows:-
1851 „.. ... ... ... £4,817,870
1852 ... „. ~,, ... 4,821,781

Increase ... 3,911
This seems trifling, but we must take into considera-
tion that to February, 1850, the exports were only
4,069,4311. Cotton manufactures fell off, but woollen
increased.
The tonnage inwards of vessels engaged in the foreign
trade amounted to 361,493 tons during the month, a de-
crease of about 5,000 tons compared with the like period
of 1851, but entirely on the vessels of foreign countries,
those under the English flag showing an increase of
nearly 3,000 tons. The shipping employed in our coast-
ing trade still declines.
The transactions in Bills of Exchange yesterday were
at barely previous rates. Paris, 90 days, was taken at
25 50 to 52i; Amsterdam, at 12 Oi to 04; Hamburgh,
at 13 11 to i; and Trieste, at 12 40 to 45.
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have to-
day received proposals of terms on which they may
have an advance on the Mexican assignment of
2,500,000 dollars, and have thought it right to take
time for considering the same till Thursday
next. It is stated in the Stock Exchange,
that the terms of Messrs. Barings are four months
interest on 2,500,000 dollars, at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum, and 2i per cent. commission.
The bondholders, in return, would have to receive 6 per
cent. as export duty on the whole amount, accord-
ing to the agreement with the Mexican Government.
The Funds have been firm, but not with a great teat
doing. Consols have been 97i for Transfer, and are
971 for Account. The New Three-and•a-Quarter per
Cents. are 99i and the Three per Cents. 98i to 4.
Bank Stock is not higher than 218 i. Exchequer-bills
are worth 625. to 65a., and India Bonds 728. to 755. pre-
mium. There is not much speculation.
Foreign Stocks are very animated, Mexican being 33
to -,k; Equador have risen to 5i i; and Guatemala have
been done at 45; Grenada Deferred are more
offered, being 10i to i; Buenos Ayres have
been quoted 58i to 59. Spanish Five per
Cents. irom 24i have risen to 25i; the Three
per Cents. have touched 42i, and the Certificates 34
Portuguese Four per Cents. are 3314, Venezuela are up
to 401 4. Dutch Twc-and-a-lialf per Cent;. brig
59i 4.
Railway Shares have been without material alteration
and with moderate sales. Gold Mines are a little
stronger.
