MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 American and
1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 2,000 American
on speculation. The market closed with animation. The
sales comprised 8,500 American, 700 Pernam and illa-
ranhem at bid. to 6id., 100 Bahia at bid. to 6p., 400
Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 1,500 Surat at 2id. to 40., and
700 Sea Island at Is. 2d. to is. 6d. per lb.—The Share
Market was rather better.
The price of Wheat in Mark-lane is ls. lower this
morning.

In slimming up last week's transactions in the Man-
chester market, Messrs. M‘Nair, Greenbow, and Irving
state:—" Since this day week the market, as regards
now transactions, has assumed a less active tendency, in
consequence of the largo operations of the previous
week, and of the advance in prices which has taken
place. That advance, with the continued scarcity of
yarns and cloth, enables the market to assume a healthy
and firm apprarance. Buyers will be again found
operating very cautiously for a while, in order to de-
termine what may be the result of the now expected
heavy importations of cotton, as until the probable ex-
tent of the supply, and its bearing as to future value,
buyers, will wisely wait the issue. The consumption
here being larger than ever before known, renders pru-
deuce the more necessary. The demand has again been
chiefly for export; that for the country trade continuing
to a most limited extent. Stocks—with the exception
of 36-inch long cloths, which are heavy, and compara-
tively unsaleable, and one or two other articles—are as
light as they were a month ago. It would appear to be
becoming gradually more difficult to impart a correct
knowledge to our friends as to the actual condition and
appearances of this market."
The following reference to the state of the Railway
Market is contained in the circular of Messrs. J. S.
Tripp and Co.:—

"—From these circumstance we infer a steady increase
of railway traffic. When people are actively and
profitably employed they are not only willing but com-
pelled to travel more than at other times. Those who
have studied railway traffics know how much they are
affected by the health and general prosperity of the
community. During the cholera and the mercantile
panics traffics all declined. Latterly there has been an
increase of traffic. Therefore it is we argue that this
traffic will not only be maintained but will necessarily
increase. We wish to impress on our friends that there
is no analogy between this and last year, or between this
and the year 1845, but that the causes for an improve-
ment in the values of public securities are such as never
before existed.

~.„" Viewing, therefore, the present condition of the
country as compared with previous years, it is matter of
surprise that the shares of such prosperous companies
as the Great Western, the LoLdon and South-Western,
and other railways, instead of commanding a high pre-
mium are still to be purchased at a discount, en anomaly
which we think cannot be of long existence. The
highest prices of last year are still much above present
values, excepting Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great
Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, and
Midland shares, but compared with the prices
of last month, there is an improvement in Edinburgh
and Glasgow, Great Western, Brighton, South-Western,
Midland, Scottish Central, and York and North Mid-
land shares; Bristol and Exeter have gradually risen to
971., and will no doubt reach par. These, Great
Western and South- Western, are becoming favourite
investments. Oxford, Worcester, and ta.olverhamptons
have gone up from 181. to 241,, and South Wales from
331. to 351. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and
North British have been neglected, but we look for a
great improvement in these shares before long. At the
last settling day the continuations were lighter than
usual, and, barring political events, there is an evident
upward tendency of prices."
The amount of capital of the National abt which
did not pay the income tax in the year 1850, was
74,216,0961. 19s. 2.1. in stock, including over 26
millions of Consols, 32 millions in New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., and 14 millions in Reduced Threes.
Besides this, there was some other stuck and terminable
annuities.

The advises by the steamer Africa from the United
States mention that there was an easy money market
and a good demand fur bills on London. The naviga-
tion was not entirely open up to the 21st ult.
A party writing from Tacna, Bolivia, under date of
Feb. 13, states:—
" The last news from la Paz received by the courier of
to-day is to the 7th inst. The President left the inte
rior of the Republic on the 28th of January, for Potosi;
and he must now be in the capital. The press in Bo
livia appears dumb, for it is impossible to find in the
papers anything interesting. They publish an official
note from Bolivia to Paris, in order that the French may
be induced to send some teachers and professors for the
colleges of the Republic. They shuuld also promote the
emigration of artisans, and all classes of workmen. In
la Paz many complaints had been made against a com-
pany which had tailed. It is accused of a great deal of

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were,
but moderately supplied with English Wheat, for ,
kinds of which the demand ruled steady at full prices.
At the outports very little buiiness was transacted in
foreign Wheats. Malting Barley was scarce, and quite
as dear. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off slowly.
The Malt trade was less active; but good sound 0090
Beans, and Peas were firm. ItAdiun Corn and Flour sold
at full currencies.

The latest accounts from New York are to the effect
that the value of the finest Flour had an upward ten-
dency, with steady shipments to th, United Kiligdool.
In the Baltic and Black Sea markets, the grain trade
has continued inactive. The Flour trade in France
ruled doll.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market WC
week were From abroad we received 13,8.9n°
quarters of Wheat, 8.580 Barley, 13,649 Oats,
Beans, 4,179 Tares, 7,975 LiLseed, 6 837 Rapeseed,

sundry Seeds. 4,365 sacks and 22,745 barrels of Flour:
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up t.t;
our market today from Kent was limited, whilst ,tut
receipts of that grain from Essex, Suffolk, &c., were "Is
moderate. By land carriage, the supply from I;
bridgeshire, Lincolnshire, &c., was comparative
trifling, but in excellent condition. Notwithstandieg
that the show of samples of both red and whitel
smaller than usual, and that the attendance of millers
was tolerably good, the demand for all kinds--ewinb the
the immense imports of Flour from France and e
United States, and which are likely to be pressed far

were fully la per quarter lower than on Monday luis/'
At that amount of depression the market closed heavily
For forward delivery very few transactions were re-
ported. Growers generally were firm in their demands'
The show of both fresh and granaried foreign Whetil;
being somewhat on the increase, that description °`
produce ruled very inactive. However, really fine qua-
lities were scarce, and betd at full currencies. All I°ll.
and middling kinds were much neglected, and late rates
were barely supported.
The few floating cargoes off the coast were in limited
demand. Holders of Egyptian asked 28a to 28s 6d per
