MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken
for export and on speculation. The market was quiet
at previous rates. The sales comprised 4 250 American,
250 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 6jd, 300 Egyptian
at 64'd. to 7d., and 200 Surat at 34 f. to 48d. per lb.--
Railway Shares were dull at rather tower prices.
The Produce Markets are only moderately active this
week.
From the Stock Markets abroad, we have no intelli-
gence of any particular change in prices.
The amount of bullion received thus far this week is
about 161,000/. from tho West Indies and Panama,
52,000/ from the United States, and 16,0001. by the
vessel Hamlet, arrived from Sydney. Letters by this
opportunity mention that a monster block of quartz,
weighing four cwt., was reported to have been taken out
by some parties at the ridge called the Louisa. The
quantity of gold contained was believed to be very large.
Whether this be true or nut, it is known that
various other blocks of unusual size had been obtained.
Against the amount of bullion received we must place
that shipped, and it appears that 167,8921. has been
forwarded to the east, viz., to Alexandria and Ceylon
50,3001. in gold, and the rest in silver to Calcutta,
Bombay, and Singapore.
The English Funds have been rather flatter again,
and the transactions are chiefly in the direction of
sales. The amount of speculative business
dono is small at present, and the course
of the market for a few weeks will be
regulated mainly by the plentifulness of money, the
state of the weather, and the political prospects of the
next session of Parliament; all of which, even should the
time bargain operators be absent in the country or
abroad, will actuate parties having capital invested or to
invest- Consols have been 1008 to 4 for Transfer, and

premium. South Sea Stock is at 1121.
Foreign Stocks are quiet generally, but Spanish Three
per Cents. have improved to 49:1 -a. The Deferred are
firm at 228 to 4. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been
marked 102, and Chilian 105. Mexican are rather
heavy at 248 to 258. Peruvian Six per Cents. have
been at 103 to 104, and the Deferred at 63 to The
existing heaviness arises from the fact that the agents
will not apply the large amount in the Bank of England
to the redemption of the Active Stock, until further
instructions are received from the Government, because
the price is above par. The convention, however,
makes no stipulation restricting the Sinking Fund from
being applied when the stock is above 100, because it
was never supposed it would rule so high. When next
year, according to the arrangement, a certain amount
of Bonds have to be drawn, the case will be very dif-
ferent, and necessarily not more than par would be
given. Russian Fives have been done at 120. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 638 to 64.
Railway Shares have been declining again, and South-

other principal lines are cheaper.
