MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, all to the trade.
The market closed :„heavily, with Amsric•in under sd.
per lb. nearly *d. per lb. below the rates of Fri-
day last ; American abova 51d were well sup-
ported ; Brazil id. up, and Surat and Eygptian
steady. The sales comprised 150 Pernam and Maran ham
at 6d. to 6id., 100 Bahia at 6d., 100 Egyptian at
500 Surat at 31d. to 4ed., and the remainder American.
—The Share Market was quiet without material altera-
tion in prices.

The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 425. 7d.
per quarter.

The South Sea Company have had their half-yearly
meeting this morning. The Bond Debt is without
alteration.

At the public sales of Coffee this morning Costs Rica
was taken in at 425. to 48s. for fine and fine fine ord, and
Plantation Ceylon at 503. to 535. for fine fine ord. There
are no auctions of Sugar.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 23d inst. was
animated, the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being
60 1-16 to *. Spanish Bonds were brisk. Venezuela
further advanced, and Grenada were good.
The total number of steamboats now running on the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers is estimated to exceed 600,
forming an aggregate of more than 150,000 tons; and it
is computed, in a document on the subject ordered to be
printed by the United States Senate, that the net value
of the trade of the western rivers, in 1849, was 256,233,
820 dollars. The value of vessels employed in this trade
was stated, in the same paper, to be 18,661,500 dollars.
The English Funds are maintained at fully the pre-
vious rates, and there is a good deal doing in the way
of investment. Consols bring 98 to for Transfer,
and at present are about 981 The pre-
mium upon Exchequer-bills is 68s. to 705., and
upon] India Bonds 78s. The letters from the Paris
Bourse augur more favourably for the:conversion, and
the great capitalists, who influence their clients, having
acquiesced, there is no longer any risk of failure.
Foreign Stocks are much quiter. Mexican have not
been higher than 32i Equador are sf, Grenada, 24;
and Peruvian Deferred, 63 Spanish Five per Cents,
have been done as high as 26k, andi;nowirealise 251 to
The Deferred are only 19i to k, and the
Certificates 2,1 per cent. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been soi to 61. Sardinian Old Bonds are
quoted 93f to

Railway Shares have become weaker, and the advance
of the last day or two has induced parties to Bell and
take their profits. The French lines are steady.
Paris and Strasbourg have improved, and Namur and
Liege look better. The English lines which have most
declined are Eastern Counties, Shrewsbury, and Bir-
mingham, owing to the alleged misunderstanding with
the Great Western, York, and North Midland, North
Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire.

The shares of the gold mine companies have been in
some request at about the previous rates. A new com-
pany, the Australian Consols Gold and Copper Mines
Company has bean announced, the particulars of which
appear, or will appear, in our advertising columns, and it
would seem to be brought out under highly respectable
auspices and to offer fair claims to public Ifavour. The
company have made arrangements for the purchase of
an extensive property in the Hunter River district,
where gold, silver, and other metals abound. The cop-
per companies on the Hunter River have been obliged
to increase their buildings and machinery, so successful
have they,,proved.

The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are in round figures as under:—
