MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6 000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. The market
closed without spirit. Prices remain without alteration,
except common Surat, which were nearly *d. per pound
lower. The sales comprised 4,000 American and 100
Pernam and Maranham, at sp. to 7d.; 800 Egyptian,
at 541. to is.; 800 Surat, at 31d. to 40.; and 20 Sea
Island, at ls. to Is. Bd. per pound.—ln Railway

Upon the state of the Silk Market during the past
month Mr. H. W. Eaton reports as follower,—
" The delivery of silk still shows an excess in the
average, with a considerable decrease in the stock, as
compared with the same period last year. In China
operations have been extremely limited, but in Bengal a
far better business has been done than is usual during
the week following these sales. The demand for the
finest sines for the continent still continues. In the
Italian market there is very little doing, and the stock
light. The &mitts and P.-rsiana received during June
have sold freely at rather improved rates. The un
cleared stock of Bruttas consista of about 160 bales, and
of Persians equal to 600 ballots."
The follown4g are particulars of the Metal trade fur-
nished by Messrs. Win. Short and Co.;—

Ins rail ir:iu a very large busin-ss has been done,
and makers are now full of orders for several months:
none of them wi'l sell under 61. per ton, but parcels in
sec,)nd hands have been named at 51. 173.6 d. Bars are
firm as a consequence of the advance in the price of
rails. Scorch pigs have greatly occupied the attention

of speculators and consumers. A large

tram 41s. up to 465. per ton; 45.. "'ea paid today for
a considerable quantity, and at that price there are still
sellers."

Great temptation exists in the present plethoric state
of the money market to press on the notice of the pub-
lic, with a view to obtain subscriptions, several foreign
railway projects, which, however good is themselves,
avgist judiciously be placed second to other undertak•
ings of home and colonial importance. There can be
very little doubt of the necessity of improved communi-
cation in Canada, and as little of the want of capital in
the West Indies. The Australian settlements may,
perhaps, be shortly able to execute, with
the slightest posoible aid, their own public
works ; but experience shows us that, able or
not, local capitalists do not usually embark in doubtful
speculations; they prefer, as a general rule, to risk
their money in enterprises of a character perhaps
equally hazardous, though more remote. In this way
we must account for so many new United States
schemes,,including canals and railways, being obtruded
upon us just now. Some may be good, others we feel
assured are the reverse, and since there is a difficulty in
discriminating, our advice would simply be to avoid
them all. During the present month, the
railwaypr " calls" are 1,805,5304 and of this the
Paris and Lyons takes 1,232,6401., and the Great
Luxemburgh 7,500/. French railways, we know, are
held by many
as of our leading capitalists, and are in great
favour here, they yield a large return; but there are
a great many new projects, and in the event of political
matters becoming unsettled, these would sink speedily
to a discount. A line from Riga to Duneburg is to be
brought forward, and another from Dijon to Besancon,
while various schemes are in embryo, awaiting the re-
ception of these.

return, far exceeding what could have been anticipated,
considering the reduction of taxation, would have raised
the value of the funds, but the attention paid to the
