MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export; 4,500 American, 500 Egyptian, and
1,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed firmly,
with an upward tendency. The sales comprised 11,000
American, 600 Pernam and Maranham at 6.3 d. to 7id.,
550 Bahia at 611. to 61d, 1,000 Egyptian at 64d. to
100., and 2,000 Surat at 31d. to 511. per lb.—Railway
Shares were active, at improved quotations.

The Colonial Markets have been animated and firm
this week. The price of sugar has been rather higher,
coffee has been very steady, tea is taken to some extent
as respects the useful qualities, rice is wanted, and all
spices have advanced. The speculation in cotton ap-
pears also to have revived a little, and cochineal is ra-
ther dearer. Indigo has gone a little flatter. For tal-
low the demand is animated, the suspension of a large
firm at St. Petersburgh causing the tallow they would
have shipped to be detained by the creditors, chiefly
producers in the interior of the kingdom.
The public sales of Wool have opened well, and full
prices to a slight advance have been obtained for some
descriptions of colonial, with brisk biddings. There
hat, however, out of nearly 50,000 bales expected to be
put up, been as yet so little offered that we cannot draw
accurate conclusions as to the ultimate issue of the
whole series. If the last accounts from Australia be
accurate,l there is not much to apprehend, though
some private letters threaten us - with a very short
supply, and state that foot-rot prevails among the
sheep. This is, probably, only local. Port Philip
Wool has realised Is. sd. to 2s. for well got up samples
of Sheep's,'and is. 6id. to 2s. for Lamb's. Van Diemen's
Land washed Sheep't:haa been sold at ls. sd. to ls. 9d.,
and Lamb's at Is. 74d. to ls. 9d. Cape has ranged from
ls. 3d. to Is. 7id., and Australian from ls. eid. to
la 11d. per lb. for clean Sheep's.
Alterations have long been considered desirable in
eur monetary system, and the adoption of the decimal
currency is the main point to be aimed at. Various
suggestions have been made for the accomplishment of
this, and the Provincial Chambers of Commerce have
properly taken up the matter. One party, referring to
the subject, remarks that—" The alteration would be
much more easily made than is usually supposed, but it
must be done, not by any half measure, but completely.
We have but to recollect that the pound sterling is at
present divided into 960 parts or farthings. All that is
necessary to make our money decimal is to extend the
divisional parts of a pound to 1,000. The first instal-
ment of the decimal money is the new Florin or tenth
of a pound. Divide this florin into two parts (instead of
its present 96 farthings) and the work is done; and what
better name could they be called by than cents ? Pennies
must be'abolished, and the duodecimal system would fall
as a matter of course. What we should want would be
half and quarter florins, for old shillings and sixpences,
and copper coins of one cent, and upwards to ten cent
pieces, removing all the present copper money. There
would then be the best decimal scheme of money and of
accounts in the world, and one that might be established
with less trouble than that proposed by A. H. Accounts
would of course be kept, and all reckonings made in
pounds, florins, and cents, instead of pounds, shillings,
pence, and farthings."
We believe that there would be no necessity for effect-
ing even as many changes as are here proposed. The
pence, half-pence, and farthings alone, require to be
altered, so as to give five pence to the sixpenny piece,
and ten to the shilling.

Tho letters by the Overland Mail are favourable in
respect to trade at Calcutta and Hong-Kong. The
Indigo crop is still unfavourably reported of.
The liabilities of M. Podsossoff, of St. Pctersburgh,
are to be met by a payment of 10 per cent, down and
15 per cent, per annum afterwards, until the 422,5001.

Ihe English Stocks, which went flatter yesterday af-

there is rather a large supply of Consols. The prices
have been 100 to for Transfer and 100* to for
Account. The state of affairs at Paris has its influence,
an l there is money required for the instalments upon
the new companies. The New Three.and.a Quarter

The Railway Market is exceedingly quiet for all the
English lines, the impetus given by the settlement yes-
terday having tubsitie,l. Prices generally are very
fairly supported. French Shares feel sensibly the re-
action at Paris. The Lyons have dropped about 1k to
2, the S:i aabourg 1i to q, and the Northern 1. 13elgian
Shatea are steady.
