MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12,000 bales, of which 8000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market closed
very firmly, and, compared with last Friday's rates,
American sorts were 0., Surat nearly as much, and Sea
Islands id. per lb. higher. The sales included 8,500
American, 2,000 Egyptian, at 5,d. to Id. ; 1,000
Surat, at 3id. to 41d.; and 300 Sea Island. at is. sd.
to Is. 7id. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat at lower
prices. _ _ _

A very satisfactory report has to be made of the
condition of the markets for many leading staples, and
fuller prices have been realised for sugar and coffee.
Tea, !however, has become duller, in consequence of
Increased arrivals. Cotton sells well, owing to the ac-
tive state of the Liverpool demand, and dyes maintain
their prices.
The proprietors of the Assam Company, formed some
years since for the purpose of cultivating tea in the
British Eastern possessions are now holding their an-
nual meeting, and most satisfactory it is to find that
whatever difficulties arose from former local mismanage-
ment have been to a great extent surmounted, that ex-
perience, though somewhat bought, is likely to prove
most valuable, and to restore prosperity to the under-
taking, and give a fair return ere long even upon the
entire capital embarked, and that the teas produced
rival in quality those of the Celestial Empire. All this
too has been accomplished without a scintilla of "pro-
tection" or Government favour, and had sugar been al-
ways produced upon the same healthy system of compe-
tition, we should hear little of colonial distress. The
following are the most interesting poiuts in the directors'
report, and it will be deemed most gratifying that a di-
vidend is this time declared:—
" Your directors are able to inform you, that the ge-
neral aspect of the affairs of the company continues to
be satisfactory and promising.
"The information which we have received since the
last annual general meeting convinces your directors
that the extension of our cultivation must necessarily be
carried into effect very gradually, for in consequence of
the paucity of labour in the province it would be unwise,
if not impossible, to clear and plant a large tract of land
in any one year. At the same time it will be our aim
to add to the cultivation in every year as much as possible
for the resons stated in our report of the 2d May, 1851.
" We have now the satisfaction to inform you, that
the tea of 1850, sold during the past year, has produced

the tea of 1851 has been

duced a net average of ls. 9d. per lb.
" With reference to this last shipment, our brokers
report that it is quite calculated to maintain the high cha-
ractert which our produce has established in this market.
" We have unfeigned pleasure in being able at this
meeting to declare a dividend of 2i per cent. upon the

The dividend declared at the A 83402 meeting is 10s.
per share for the year.
The Haceburgh mail of last Friday brings the rate of
exchange on London at 13 6i, being lower. Funds
and Shares were without change and rattier dull. Money
was very easy and discounts were decidedly lower.
Coffee was rising and Grain was flat.
At Amsterdam, on the sth inst., business was re-
stricted both in home and foreign securities,
which ruled
lower.
The Fends continued in a very listless state, Consols
being 991 for Transfer and Account. The New Three-
and_s-Quarter per Cents. bring 1001 to 1, and the
Three per Cents. 98} to Z. Bank Stock keeps steady
at 220. Exchequer-bills dated March are at 68s. prem ,
and India Bonds realise 80i. For June Consols are
99i11.
Foreign Securities have been quiet likewise. Spanish
Three per Cents. bring 47i and the New Deferred
21i Buenos Ayres Bonds have risen to 79 and 80.
Eqaador Stock is at 4i, and Grenada Deferred at 9i,
both being heavy. Peruvian Six per Cents. have been
quoted 103 to I. Russian Five per Conte. are worth
116 f, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 61i to j.
Mexican have just improved to 34i I.
Railway Shares were fluctuating, and do not quite
maintain the improved rates of yesterday, but this does
not apply to the French lines, which are better, espe-
cially the Western of France.

Gold Mine Shares are neglected. Santiago de Caba,
owing to the amalgamation with the Cobre Company,
continue very buoyant. The Australian Copper are
about the same as previously.
We understand that Mr. Francis Morris, one of the
directors of the Great Devon Consols Mining Company,
has joined the committee of management of the London
and Sydney Gold Mining Company. Dealings in the
scrip about to be issued took place in the house yester-
day to some extent, at 1-16th premium.
