MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market closed
steadily. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 300
Bern= and Maranhana at 6ld . to 7d. 100 Bahia at
64,1. to 60., 230 Egyptian 64 d. to 70., , and 600 Surat
3id. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares were good again.
The produce markets have been animated again this
week, and there is, upon the whole, fair support given
to the prices. Sugar, being in very full supply,
.15
scarcely so dear. The consumption of the necessaries
of life is steady, and there is sufficient activity in the
manufacturing districts to use up the imports of Wool,
Cotton, Indigo, &c., before they accumulate to any
extent.

The importance of ascertaining the relative security
afforded by different railway companies is so obvious
that the statistics compiled by Mr. Slaughter, of the
Stock Exchange, with respect to the Debenture debts,
are certain to be appreciated. To arrive at a fair con-
clusion several points have to be considered. First,
there is the amount of the debenture debt; second, the
net earnings, after deduction of working expenses for the
year 1851, the whole of which were applicable, if
needed, to payment of interest on the debts; third,
the SUM actually paid for interest (with the
average result per cent. per annum); fourth, the
balance over after payment of interest; fifth the addi-
tional per-tentage of interest such balances would have
paid. Space still not permit us to follow the compiler
through his calculation, and we must confine ourselves,
therefore, to results. Taking twenty-two lines of rail-
way, we find the allowance upon their respective debts
to have varied from 3.67 to 5.65, the Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincolnshire Company getting its loans
cheapest, and the Caledonian paying most. After dis-
charging the interest on their debts, the Blackwell has
the largest, and tho Chester and Holyhead the smallest
surplus available for dividend upon share capital. This
is illustrated as follows:

These figures, though based up the C.
o mpan
which the accounts
may in one instance convey an erroneous
sion because of the different y's re
turns. Lyres-
way in
are made up, but the explanation is Sim some
charge that
charge capital with a portion of the interest they pay
e
e
upon debentures, the expenditure being on unproductiv
or unfinished works.
The Amsterdam Stock-market, on the 16th inst., was
firm, with a moderate business doing. In foreign there
was no particular change. The Two-and-a-Half par
Cents. were at 63,
There are two more vessels from Port Philip, but
their dates being Feb. 28, are not quite so late. There
is understood to be gold on board.
The English Stocks have been very buoyant again,
and advanced quotations have been realised. Consols
are 991 to par. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 1025 to 103 k, and the Three per
Cents. 1004 to f. The premium on Exchequer-bills of
March are 745. to 775. premium.
The Foreign Securities are all looking up. Mexican
Three per Cents. are 251 to 26. Grenada Deferred are
Equador Stock is at 45. Brazilian Old Bonds
have been marked 1011. Spanish New Three per
Cents. are 21i1. Dutch Four per Cents. have realised
955 to 964.
Railway Shares have all improved very decidedly,
Caledonian, East Lancashire, Brighton, South-Western,
North-Western, Midland, South-Eastern, and the York
lines, being in great favour. French Shares are better,
though quiet.
The Gold Mines have all advanced more or less, but
Nouveau Monde take the lead, because a lease of very
eligible property has been concluded.
