MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
of 9,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken tor ex-
port, and 1,000 American and 500 Surat on speculation.
The market was firm, but closed tamely, Egyptian %d. to
14d. per lb. higher. The sales comprised 5,,00 American,
200 Pernam and blaranham, at 614 d. to 61/2d.; 300 Bahia,
at 614 d. to 61/9d.; 1,600 Egyptian, at 53“1. to 814 d. ; and
1,200 Surat, at 314 d. to 41Ad. per lb.—The Share Market
was better, and closed strong at higher prices.
In the Produce Markets this week there has been much
more elasticity for the principal staples. Coffee has
taken a decided start, after being so long neg-
lected; Sugar is dearer, and is Spices a fair trade has been
done. Tea of the more useful quality has been in request,
and Rice is nominally firmer. For Cotton, Silk, Cochineal,
and Indigo buyers are readily found.
The London and California Gold Quartz Crushing Com-
pany have obtained their day of settling on the Stock-
Exchange, which is Monday next. They are at 14 pre-
mium.

them, and that the Bank of England, even in the event of
a deficient harvest, would not have its bullion seriously af-
fected, seeing how much larger the sum at its command is,
compared with former years. It is worthy of note, likewise,
that the rate of discount now is lower than was ever before
known at the Bank of England; and, ttom to-morrow, the
London and Westminster Bank will reduce its allowance to
depositors to 1 per cent., a proof that the difficulty of finding
employment for money increases. If no check occurs, and
French politics progress smoothly, we may certainly expect
all securities, that yield a fixed rate of interest, to advance
materially; and besides stocks and shares, house property is
said to be rising. The appreciation, however, is nothing to
what we may have, if California and Australia continue
their abundant supplies of gold. The editor of the Maga-
zine furnishes the following interesting statement of the
rate of interest charged by the Bank of England, from 1694
to 1852, with the amount of bullion held by the Bank when
the several changes in the rate took place :
