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 3,000 on speculation. The de-
mand was large, and the market closed with heavy
buyers, American * and Sea Island per lb.
higher. Other kinds without alteration. The sales
comprised 12,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham,
at 511. to 7icl.; 100 Bahia, 611. to Of 1.; 600 Egyptian,
51d. to 70.; 1,500 Surat, 343. to 4id.; and 150 Sea
Island, at le. 2d. to ls. 7d, per lb.—Railway Shares were
dull at lower prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 415. ld.
per quarter.
The Metal Market is thus described by Mr. W. Short.
" Daring the last month we have had considerable
transactions in rails, and prices have advanced until it is
difficult to buy at 5/. in Wales. The demand continues
active, and makers are stiff. Bars have not kept pace
with rails, but sales are not pressed. Scotch Pigs have
advanced to 365. 63. for mixed numbers, free
oa board at Glasgow ; very large purchases
have been made at 375. 63. per ton, three months
to take delivery; and vessels having become plentiful,
large exportations are going on from the Scotch ports.
The stock on hand in Scotland is, however, still consi-
derable, and exceeds that of the let of January. Cop-
per is' apparently on the rise. Producers refuse to tp-ll
at the quoted figures, and offers of 21. per ton above
printed facts have been refused. Our shipments to
India this year, as compared with 1851, show
a decrease; to Madras and Calcutta of 570 tons, Bom-
bay 349 tons, and other ports 59 tons, or to all India
978 tons. English Tin has been advanced to 87s. per
cwt. for blocks; and in Banca Tin considerable specula-
tive operations have taken place during April; and the
price has reached 86s. to 87s. in bond. Even at those
rates it is difficult to buy any large quantity. Tin
plates continue very fiat, notwithstanding the
advance in Tin, from which we infer that the make has
been amplified beyond the requirements of consumers
and exporters. Lead is without material change, but
rather easier in price since our last mouth's circular.
Spelter is steady; but the business done has been very
limited. The shipments to India have declined to a
mere trifle'; the prices obtained there not realising any-
thing like the prices which have been ruling in Europe.
Our London stock, on the Ist of this month, was 11,293
tons, against 11,017 tons in 1851."
The Continental advices are not of much interest, but
the mercantile letters from Paris are more favourable,
and confidence seems to be increasing.

The Tours and Nantes dividend is 3 francs 40 can.

The English Stock Market has been rather fluctuat-
ing, but is not lower. Consols have been 99i to -a for
Transfer, and 99f -a for Account. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1001 to -,
and the Three per Cents. 98i to i. Bank
Stock has been at 219 i to 2201. East India Bonds are
83s. premium. There is unusual quietude, and the
business is almost entirely for money.
The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected.
Mexican Three per Cents. are 27i to 28, and Peruvian
Six per Cents., after being 105, are down to 1031.
Equador Stock is worth 41. Portuguese Old Five per
Cents. are at 1001. Spanish Three per Cents. Deferred
have been 21i to f, and the Passive 51. Venezuela
Stock is at 49k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
realised 61i to -.
Railway Shares have been fluctuating again, and
although in some instances a shade better, there is still
a disposition to " Bear." The provincial jobbers are
said to be against the market.
Both the North-Western and the Great Northern
Companies are offering 4 per cent. guarantee, it is said,
for the Ambergate.
The last week's Railway Receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are, in round figures, as under:—
1852. 1851.
Great Wt-stern £18,141 £18,595
North-Western 46,336 41,294

Mining Shares are flat generally, but the Australian
keep up best, and Santiago de Cuba have suddenly ad-
vanced. South Australian Copper are i 1 premium.
The settling day is Monday next.
