MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export, and 5,000 American and 500 Surat on
speculation. The market closed very firmly. The sales
comprised 12,000 American, 340 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at 61d. to 60.; 300 Bahia, at 6/d. to 6id.; 1,000
Egyptian, at sid. to W.; 1,000 Surat, at 3id. to 4d.;
and 150 Sea Island, at Is. Id. to ls. 7d. per lb.—Railway
Shares were fiat.

The Indigo auctions open at higher prices to-day.
The following interesting particulars of the Wine
trade are furnished by Messrs. Walter, Howell, and
Hall:—

" The market is quite cleared by export orders of all
low-priced Sherries ranging from 101. to 131., and we
learn from Cadis that the stock of such inferior low
wines cannot now be replaced with any profit to the ex-
porter from Spain. The quotations of prices are con-
sidereisly higher in Spain than in our own market for all
descriptions of low wines.
The accounts we have received from our friends at
Oporto confirm their previous impression that the last
year's vintage (1851) will turn out wines of really
fine character ; at present they show much ma-
turity, with less substance than the 1847 or 1844'5.
The number of pipes deemed of quality fit for exporta-
tion to all Europe is 20,000—a quantity less than the
average demand. The farmers are consequently holding
firmly for remunerative prices for their best wines. The
2.tock of old wines at Oporto remains necessarily small;
first-class wines are being held, without any prospect of
a reduction from present quotations. The market here
remains generally quiet, although there is an increasing
ir,quiry for low-priced wines of some character, ranging
from 231. to 261 fit for bottling purposes. There wines
remain very scarce, although we hold some parcels of
dry wines (first brands), with good colour and character,
fit for bottling, that we can offer you at from 241. to
281. per pipe."
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received a letter from their agent, Mr. Lord, dated
La Guayra, April 10, 1852, of which the following is an
extract:—
" I now beg leave to enclose, for the information of
the committee, a copy of the Report of the Special
Commission that was presented to the Chamber on the
26th tilt. On the 30th, after a warm debate, the
project of decree that accompanied the report
was admitted to discussion, but I regret to
have to state that it is not yet passed
a first reading; for three days has it occupied, almost
exclusively, the attention of the Chamber, whilst on the
sth a motion for deferring its further consideration for
four days was carried, the prelude, I fear, to still greater
delay- The fact is, that strange as it must appear to
the committee, the opposition to the agreement, both in
and out of Congress, has much increased within the last
week.
" The ordinary sessions of Congress (90 days) will
expire on the 25th inst., by the packet of the 26th,
therefore, I may have it in my power to convey to the
committee the probable result."
The report, mentioned in the above extract, strongly
recommends the sanctioning by Congress of the agree-
ment which Mr. Lord concluded with the Executive
Power on the 12th of September last.
The following from the circular of Messrs. Schroeder
and Mummy, dated New Orleans, April 17, and pub-
lished by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the
state of the Cotton Market—" Our last review
(of the 3d inst.) closed upon a pretty firm market,
our quotation for middling being at that time 75c. Since
then, we have received Liverpool accounts up to the 3d
inst. by three steamers, reporting a gradual decline for
the lower grades, the quotation for fair remaining un•
changed. Our market has been very little affected
thereby, and only the lower grades have declined; the
demand has been general and brisk, and notwithstand-
ing a further advance in freights, and decline in foreign
exchange, 45,700 bales have been sold during the
first, and 54,300 bales this week. Of this, purchasers
for Great Britain, France, the Continent, and the North
have each taken a fair proportion. The stock for sale is
not very large, and badly assorted, being composed
mostly of the lower grades. All descriptions above
strictly middling are scarce, and command very full
prices,:. so much so, that it is difficult to give
correct quotations—good stapled Cottons of every
descriptions are generally paid above the quota-
tions. We hear thus of sales of strong, staple mid-
dling at 71, good middling to middling fair at 85, and
find that the better grades are rather higher than they
were two weeks ago. The receipts continue heavy, and
confirm the prospects of a crop of at least 2,800,000 bales.
It is expected, however, that they will cease more sud-
denly than in former years. The general opinion re-
mains highly favourable for the article, and the confi-
dence in the continuance of present prices is growing
daily stronger. Of the new crop nothing can be

The English Stock Market has been much more
buoyant, and there is an increased business doing.
Con.
sole have been 993 to * for Transfer, and have just
reached 995 5. For Juno they are fairly 99i. The
New Tbree-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted 1001 to 3, and the Three per Cent.
Reduced 985 to 5. Bank Stock has risen
to 220 and 2205. Exchequer-bills are 635. to 65m. pre-
mium for those dated June. The favourable accounts
from Paris as to the absence of cries for the empire have
evidently a good effect here.

Foreign Securities have been very dull again.
Spanish Three per C nts. are now 471, and the
ferred 2lf to 4. Mexican Bonds have been
324 to 4 for the Five per Cents., and the
New have been marked 251 to 4. The amount re-
ceived for the dividend!, including Tampico and
Vera Cruz is 72,000 dollars. Peruvian Old Bonds have
been quoted 103} and Brazilian Small 99i. Danish
Five per Cents. are 1041 and Russian at 1031. Dutch
Four per Cents. are worth 92i to 93.
Railway Shares have been all rather better, and there
is more doing. The French lines are steady.
