MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The mar-
ket closed firmly at previous rates, except for Egyptian,
which were offered freely, and were in favour of buyers.
The sales comprised 8,000 American, I,ooo' Egyptian,
at 6d. to Bd,, 110 Femme and Maranham, at 6id. to 7d.,
200 Bahia. at 6d. to 60., 500 Surat, at 3id. to 4d., and
100 Sea Island, at Is. sd. to ls. Bd. per lb.—Railway
Shares were rather firmer.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat, is 40s. 4d. per
quarter, and the last week's sales were 92,576 quarters.
Of all branches of our foreign trade, that connected
with the vintage is placed, perhaps, at the present mo-
ment in the most interesting position. We apprehend
from the news that reaches the merchants and brokers here
from various parts that there will be a serious deficiency
in the quantity obtained, the vineyards, like the currant-
trees, being affected by a peculiar and uncommon blight.
From the correspondence received by Messrs. Walter,
Howell, and Hale, it appears that high prices are likely
to be demanded for Brandy by the Cognac houses for
the next twelvemonths, the export of young Brandies to
Australia having been unusually large. It is further
stated that—
" The vintage on the Charente and neighbourhood will
COMIliel3CO in about six weeks, and we know there will
be but a short produce, certainly not an average one.
With the increasing demand, therefore, from France,
England, United States, and our colonies, we must ex-
pect a continuation of higher prices for Cognac than we
have latterly had fur years; indeed, when we consider
the comparatively small district of the Champagne
and Woodlands from whence the finer Brancy is ob-
tained, we fear the leading Cognac houses will find it
difficult to maintain upon all their shipments the cha-
racter of their brand. We anticipate the price of 1852's
will come out at 105 francs per hectolitre, if not higher,
and older Brandies in proportion."
With regard to Port wines and the policy of the
Government at Lisbon, we are told that it is generally
understood that Ministers intend to carry into effect by
decree, the reduction of duties and other reforms of the
Sebe Cizas, that had already passed the deputies, but
the grand question of all is that of the Oporto wine
export duties. The public mind there is in a state of
great excitement, lest Ministers should avail themselves
of their power and yield to the demands of Great Britain.
However, the warehousing question is settled by decree.
After the preamble the decree says, "It is my will
and pleasure after hearing the Company General of the
Agriculture of Wines of the Upper Douro and the Com-
mercial Association and Civil Governor of the district of
Oporto, to declare as follows:

Ist. The indistinct warehousing of wines, as well of
the first as the second quality, is from this moment per-
mitted as well in Villa Nova de Gaia as in the city of
Oporto, and the decr€e of the 7th June, 1844, is abo-
lished.

"2d. The distinction will continue to exist, and the
account of the first and second quality kept separate be-
fore the Custom House in the same form as existed pre-
vious to that decree.
" The Ministers and Secretaries of State of the Inte-
rior and Finance will thus understand, and cause the
same to be carried into effect."
(Signed by the Queen and the respective Ministry.)
The steck on tile Ist of August last consisted of
20,810 pipes.
If the application of capital were to bo directed ex-
clusively to the funds and railway shares, there must in
the ordinary course be a most important and steady rise,
with occasional alteration, however, as political or mo-
netary events exercised a passing influence. It is
calculated, however, that new loans and companies
take up annually an immense portion of the surplus
wealth which accumulates annually upon the balance of
our foreign trade, and if this does nut in every case
prove re-productive, it certainly in the main tends
to augment the national riches. Foreign loans frequently
involve, besides arrears of interest, a great loss of ca..
pital, but if we look to the proportionably higher
dividends obtained, and take our calculations
over the whole range of the loans made,
probably two hundred millions sterling, we shall find
most likely that we are gainers upon balance. It is
upon industrial undertakings, however, that our
chief profit has accrued, and severe as is
the loss entai?ed upon the original subscribers
to railways by the cnormons fluctuation in shares, the
capital has remained in this country, and we aro na-
tionally no losers. Not a sixpence has loft us in conse-
quence of the fall iu shares. During the present yearer
there has been an immense addition to the number
of public companies, and some, the gold mines for
