MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mat?d 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 biaran-
ham, at 6d. to 6id.; 300 Bahia, at 60. to 60.; 1,000
Egyptian, at sd. to 81d.; 1,000 Surat, at 30. to 40.;
and 150 Sea Is and, at is. Id. to ls. 7d. rerlb.—Railway
Shares were fist.

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 Cadiz that the stock of such inferior low
wines cannot now be replaced with any profit to the ex-
porter from Spair. The quotations of prices are con-
siderahly 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
stock 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
iequiry for low-priced wines of some character, ranging
from 231. to 261 fit for bottling purposes'. There wines
syss , hold some character(
remain very scarce, although
with good colour and ,
dry wines (first brands),
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 nit. 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 raiding; 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 bemoaning 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. Schreiner
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 740. 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 [meg 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 bear thus of sales of strong staple mid-
dling at 71, good middling to middling fair at Bf, and
find that the better gradoa 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 year& 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 said so
far, except that the weather is very propitious for the
same. Ordinary to good ordinary, 61 to 6f; low mid-
dling, 7k; middling, 71; good middling, If to 8; mid-
dling fair, 81 to 8i; fair,
_9 to 94. Sales during the two
weeks, 100,000 bales. Receipts at this port, 1,210,810
bales, against 850,235 bales last year. Increase of re-
ceipts at all ports, 548,935 bales. Increase of total ex-
ports to Great Britain. 220,070 bales. Increase of total
exports to France, 71,521 bales, and to other foreign
ports 42,600 against last year."
The English Stock Market has been much more
buoyanta and there is an increased business doing. Con-
sols have been 994 to 4 for Transfer, and have just
reached 994 4. For June they are fairly 994. The
New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted 1001 to 4, and the Three per Cent.
Reduced 984 to 4. Bank Stock has risen
to 220 and 2204. Exchequer-bills are 635. to 653. 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 Cents. are now 474, and the
ferred 214 to 4. Mexican Bonds have been
32i1- to 1 for the Five per Cents., and the
New have been marked 251 to 1. The amount re-
ceived for the dividends, Including Tampico and
Vera Cruz is 72,000 dollars. Peruvian Old Bonds have
been quoted 1034 and Brazilian Small 994. Danish
Five per Cents. are 104( and Russian at 1034. Dutch
Four per Cents. aro worth 924 to 93.
Railway Shares have been all rather better, and there
is more doing- The French lines are steady.
