MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
for export and 500 on speculation. The market closed
heavily, American qualities below mid. were d. per lb.
lower, other kinds without alteration. The sales com-
prised 3,500 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham at
64d. to 7id., 500 Egyptian at 74d. to 81d., and 500
Surat at 3d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm
at higher prices.
In the Produce market this week there have been
moderate purchases, and of most articles the consump-
tiOn is steady. The demand for Sugar has been steady,
and holders of Coffee are firm. In Rice there have been
sales at full prices. Cotton and Tallow have been
rather dull.

Referring to the state of the Manchester trade during
the past month, Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving,
write that--" Considering the proverbially inactive
character of the period which has passed away since the
date of our last, and the interposition of the great holi-
day season of the year in the manufacturing districts,
our report to-day indicates as large, if not larger, an
amount of business operations, as has been transacted in
the same month for many years past, laying aside any
consideration attaching to, and as consequent upon, the
magnitude ofthe transactions effected since the commence-
ment of the present year. It is nevertheless true, that so
far as the export portion was concerned, a great part of
it resulted from contracts entered into during April and
May; and that,from an improved and more general demand
for the country trade—which we communicate with
much satisfaction—the indicated extent of business for
the present month has been realized. Though the
market has been of a sluggish and inanimate character,
uninterrupted by any material fluctuation, stocks remain
much as they were at the end of May. So it may
he said also with regard to prices generally, unless
7-8 ths and 9.Btns printing cloths, which are higher,
and some
Purposes,
lisiensd,s of India yarns, as well as of some for
which are from id. to id. per lb. lower,
together with certain makes of 40 inch gold end shirt-
ings which are better to buy than they were three weeks
ago, be excepted. The action of this market, we may
again mention, arising as we have often of late
remarked, has been much influenced by that
of Liverpool, as to cotton. Increasingly would
the sympathy between the two appear to have become;
and though a larger crop—safely estimated at or about
3,000,000 of bags has been secured, with good prospects
as to its successor—than was ever previously known; it
appears to us that both exaggerated reports as to the
weekly consumption, and elaborate statistics, embracing
nearly a quarter of a.century back, applying to con-
sumption Likewise, are, in the present state of things,
when compared with the supply and value of
money, unequalled in the world's history; for
a time comparatively valueless. Every one knows
that a bag of cotton can, with existing faci-
lities, be as easily secured as converted into cash.
Still, some people are often heard to remark, Let us
diminish the production of heavy cloths and the value
of cotton will decline.' Do they who use such an ar-
gument
can j
gutnent ever think, that by producers turning to
lighter fabrics, heavier makess-for any
time be dispensed with?
5 per cant. cotton to-day would have been Id. to
lid. per lb. lower. It would be well, however, that
length o
been
at
t
Had discountsa
an exact data of weekly consumption could be arrived
at; that is, in our opinion, an almost impossibility."
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 30th ult. was
feebler for Dutch Stock, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
being 633 Spanish Bonds have been in much request.
The Funds are very heavy again, and no other reason
can be assigned than that which has already been given,
that the issue of the approaching elections is looked to
with interest, and naturally occasions some excitement.
Consols have been 1008 I. The news from Paris of the
discovery of an infernal machine is just now a depres-
sing cause. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 1041 to I, and the Three per Cents.
1001 to 101. Exchequer-bills of June have been
695. to 72,:,.; and India Bonds, 89s. premium. The Bank
returns will show a very large increase of bullion again
in this evening's Gazette, and the arrivals by the vessels
that have come in within the last two days from Port
Philip and Sydney have furnished about 250,000/, more
in gold. Coin to some extent will, undoubtedly, be
ehipped in return for this, as well as goods. Consols now
ore as low as par to 104.
In the Foreign Market very little is doing. Mexican
Three per Cents. have been quoted 27i to Peruvian
Deferred 68, and arenada Deferred 10. Spanish Stock
is nominal. The Fiero per Cents, have been about 21i
and the Three per Cents. 48 to i. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have been marked 38i to 39. Russian Old
Stock is worth 1171 to 1181, and Dutch Four per Cents,
are 958 to 961., Sardinian Bonds are 93i to 94.
Railway Shares do not support the highest quotations
of yesterday, but are nevertheless very firm. French
Shares have been good, bat are now weaker.
Gold Mines are v cry quiet.
