MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The de-
mand was large, and the market closed with heavy
buyers, American k and Sea Island per lb.
higher. Other kinds without alteration. The sales
comprised 12,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranbam,
at Sid. to 7id.; 100 Bahia, 6ii. to 6i f.; 600 Egyptian,
std. to 7d.; 1,500 Surat, 3d. to 40.; and 150 Sea
Island, at Is. 2d. to Is. 7d. per lb.—Railway Shares were
dull at lower prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 41s. Id.
per quarter.
The Metal Market is thus described by Mr. W. Short.
" Daring the last month we have bad considerable
transactions in rails, and prices have advanced until it is
difficult to buy at 5/. in Wales. The demand continues
active, and makers are stiff. Bars have not kept pace
with rails, but sales are not pressed. Scotch Pigs have
advanced to 365. 6d. for mixed numbers, free
on board at Glasgow ; very large purchases
have been made at 375. 6d. per ton, three months
to take delivery; and vessels having become plentiful,
large exportations are going on from the Scotch ports.
The stock on hand in Scotland is, however, still consi-
derable, and exceeds that of the Ist of January. Cop-
per is apparently- on the rise. Producers refuse to still
at the quoted figures, and offers of 21. per ton above
printed rated have been refused. Our shipments to
India this year, as compared with 1851, show
a decrease; to Madras and Calcutta of 570 tons, Bom-
bay 349 tons, and other ports 59 tons, or to all India
978 tons. English Tin has been advanced to 87s. per
cwt, for blocks; and in Bence Tin considerable specula-
tive operations have taken place during April; and the
price has reached 86s. to 87s. in bond. Even at those
rates it is difficult to buy any large quantity. Tin
plates combine very fist, notbsithst mding the
sclvance in Tin, from which we inter that the make his
been amplified beyond the requirements of consumers
and exporters. Lead is without material change, but
rather easier in price since our last mouth's circular.
Speller is steady; but the business done has been very
limited. The shipments to India have declined to a
mere trifl,,; the prices obtained there not realising any-
thing like the prices, which have beets ruling, in Europe.
Our London stock, on the Ist of this month, was 11,293
tow, against 11,017 tons in 1851."
The Continental advices are not of much interest, but
the mercantile letters from Paris are more favourable,
and confidence seems to be increasing.

The English Stock Market has been rather flactuat-

ing, but is not lower. Consols have been 99i to I for
Transfer, and 99i 11- for Account. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1001 to -a,
and the Three per Cents. 98i to Bank
Stock has been at 219 i to 220 A. East India Bonds are
83s. premium. There is unusual quietude, and the
business is almost entirely for money.
The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected.
Mexican Three per Cents. are 271 to 28, and Peruvian
Six per Cents , after being 105, are down to 103 A.
Equador Stock is worth 4i. Portuguese Old Five per
Cents. are at 1001-. Spanish Three per Cents. Deferred
have been 21A to and the Passive si. Venezuela
Stock is at 494-. Dutch Two-and-aZalf per Cents. have
realised 61i to F
Railway Shares have been fluctuating again, and
although in some instances a shade better, there is still
a disposition to "Bcar." The provincial jobbers are
said to be against the market.
Both the North-Western and the Great Northern
Companies are offering 4 per cent. guarantee, it is said,
for the Ambergate.
The last week's Railway Receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are, in round figures, as under:-
1852. 1851.

Mining Shares are flat generally, but the Australian
keep up best, and Santiago de Cuba have suddenly ad-
vanced. South Australian Copper are premium.
The settling day is Monday next.
