5.1 ONE lir and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for
export, and 3,500 on speculation. The market was very
firm, and prices of all kinds were a turn against the
buyers. The sales comprised 9,000 American, 500
Pernam. and Maranham at 51cl. to 71d., 200 Egyptian
64d. to 91d., and 300 Surat et 3il. to 41d. par lb.—
Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices.
In the produce markets, although very little was done
yesterday (owing to Ascot), there have been large trans-
actions this week. A good deal. of East India Sugar
has been offered, and this has occasioned a slight decline
in prices. In West India a fair business has been done at
full rates generally. Coffee has been very firm, and though
not brisk for Native Ceylon, has been active for most
other sorts. Saltpetre has beea rather cheaper, and
Cochineal has fallen Id. to 2d. per lb. Cotton is still
in good demand. Tea has a fair sale, and Tallow con-
tinues at about the former prices. Fish Oils generally
tend upwards, but other qualities aro dull. Tallow has
maintained its price.
Upon the state of the Metal trade, Messrs. William
Short and Co. report as follows:
" We had during last month a large demand fur rails,
chiefly for America, and the price has advanced to 51.155.
per,ton in Wales, at which business has been done.
Bars have, though in a less degree,' followed rails, and
4/. 17s. 6cl. is demanded for first-class makes, while
none whatever is to be had under 4/. 12s. 6d. In Scotch
pig iron there has been considerable business; prices
have fluctuated to some extent, but the market closes at
3s. per ton above the price on the sth ult. Foreign iron
is without change. Copper has been advanced id. per
lb. on manufactured, and 90s. per ton on Cake and Tile,
while the discount has been lowered from 3 to 2i per
cent. The demand continues good at the advanced rates.
'Tin—English is unaltered; foreign is a shade easier;
and we cannot quote Bence, beyond 85s. The stock in
London is about 2,000 tons; in Holland, in second
'
hands, about 14,500 slabs or aout 440 tens; and the
quantity advertised by the Dutch Trading Company for j
sale on the 4th of August next is 142,582 slabs (exclu-
sive of new importations which may be added, not ex_
seeding 15,000 slabs), or, in all, 4,392 tons, making the
whole available stock on this and the other side, until
August, 1853, 6,762 tons, against 6,244 tons at this
period in 1851, and 5,000 in 1830. Tin plates are in
good request at quoted prices. Lead has advanced some
53. per ton, and continues in fair demand. Speller..
Consequent on account of high prices at Hamburgh, the
price here has advanced; business has been done at 15/,
103. per ton, and the market closes at 151. es, 6,1. to 151.
10s. Stock on Ist inst., 10,440 tons, against 12,380 tons
at this period last year."
The easy state of the Money Market offers a tempta-
tion to many foreign companies to come here bidding
for loans, advances, or share subscriptions; and in
mer-
cantile circles connected with the United States, it is
asserted that some railway undertakings of very doubtful
promise will be brought under notice here. It is to be
hoped the public will discriminate, and not rashly place
their surplus means in such compauies. re an e ,

The market for Public Securities
,has been particu-
larly firm again, and a further advance in the quotations
of * to i per cent. has taken place. The disposition is
still to invest, because the transfer books close this even-
ing, and the accumulation of money goes on. The Bank
of England, it is understood, increased last week the
specie in its vaults by about 150,0001,, and this week
an addition has been also made to some extent, not-
withstanding the shipments to different parts. Con-
sols have ranged from 1001 to 101 i for Transfer,
and have been 1011 f for Account. The New
Three-and-a-Qaarter per Cents, have been marked
1024 to 103, and the Three per Cents. 100 k to i. Bank
Stock supports the improvement to 2221 and 223. Ex.

liussian Four-and-a-half per Cents, have been quoted
1041, and Danish Five per Cents. 1041. Sardinian
Stock continues at 94 to f ex-dividend.

Railway Shares have been in moderate demand, and
in the instance of East Lancashire,. Shrewsbury, and
Birmingham, North British, York and North Midland,
and Lancashire and Yorkshire, there is decided
buoyancy. Brighton likewise are firm. The Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire traffic shows a large increase.
French shares have been very quiet.

Gold Mine shares, though dull, bring about previous
rates. Bank and Steam Navigation shares have been
in request.
