MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market closed
with
_less demand, butprices were steady, a shade against
the buyers. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 100
Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 61d; 20 Bahia, at
6id.; 800 Surat, at 3id. to 411; and 300 Sea Island, at
ls. lid. to Is. 7d. per lb.—The Share Market was steady
at rather firmer prices.
To-day there is a complete lull in the Colonial Pro-
duce markets, and no public sales of Sager or Coffee are
in progress.
la review of the past month's transactions in produce
Messrp. Wilkinson and Jewesbury state that—" Since
the reduction in the rate of discounts by the Bank on
the 22d ultimo, the foreign and colonial produce markets
have been favourably influenced; importers for some
time past have evinced firmness in their demands, the
range of prices being extremely low for many articles.
The stocks in the hands of dealers are below the ave-
rage' and, with increased confidence, a very heavy busi-
ness has been dons both by public sale and by private
contract, at improved rates. The chief amount of tran-
sactions has been for legitimate trade, and but little on
speculative account; this gives the markets a healthy
tone, which' at present promises to continue.
The imports have been very moderate, come.;
quent upon the continued contrary wind, bat
cnenge having atlength taken place, large arrivals will
ensue. The accounts from the continental markets re-

pert a steady demand for produce, with an upward ten-
dency in prices. Dyes and dyeing materials have been
in good request during the past month, prices generally
are higher, and as present rates are really moderate, it
is confidently expected they will further improve."
The new light thrown upon the position of the gold
companies of California that hold leases from Colonel
Fremont, in consequence of the Nouveau Monde agents
having considered it advisable not to take possession of
the property assigned to them, and upon the assump-
tion that the Colonel's title is still involved in doubt,
may probably lead to counter explanations, but it is
stated that Colonel Fremont is at present in Paris, and
consequently not informed of what has occurred.
The letters for India vid Marseilles will be dispatched
on the evening of the Bth inst. The Mexican mail is
now due.
The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 3d inst., was
steady for home securities. Nothing particular was done
in foreign.
Bills of Exchange upon the principal continental
cities were negotiated yesterday afternoon, at steady

rates.

reign and colonial merchandise during the month ended
