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 the advance previously noticed this
week. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 300 Per-
nam and Maranham, at 61d. to 7d.; 200 Bahia, at 6id.

rather higher prices.
In the Produce Markets this week the dealings have
been to a moderate extent, and almost wholly for con-
sumption. The principal staples have supported about
former rates, and Coffee has slightly tended upwards.
Some Spices are rather lower, and Bice is not in so much
request. Brandy has still a ready sale, and Cotton is
taken more freely. Tallow has been steady. For Con-
gou Teas the demand has been kept up. Jute is held
for high prices. Wool is firm.
Tne necessity of devising new means to cheapen and
facilitate the production of sugar in our West India
possessions must be too well understood at this day to
need much illustration or enforcement. What remains
to be done, and what has been accomplished in other
countries, it is. however, important to show. Both in
Cuba and the United States, the owner or manager of
a property, as we are informed, now employs for the
crop an experienced sugar maker, who has the manufac-
turing process entirely and exclusively under his ma-
nagement and care. He is entitled to this situation from
having established the character of being thoroughly
acquainted with his business; he has generally some
knowledge of chemistry—ho possesses the latest and
most useful information of all the improvements that
have been discovered and recently known—the books
and instruments required by a man who has made this
manufacture his entire business, He gives the most un-
-
remitting attention not only to the improved manufac
ture, but to the prevention of the theft of the sugar
made; he is not paid a salary, but Bo much per hogs-
head, generally ono dollar each hogshead, sent off the
property.
In the present uncertain state of the sugar question
the absentee proprietors and mortgagees will not invest
further capital in any of the very many recent improve-
ments in machinery, &c., in the manufacture of sugar
on their own properties. The resident proprietors of
Jamaica, and some of the other colonies, should now
look to the present American system, which does net
I.` quire any capital to try, and deserves to have their
earnest consideration. They must keep in mind that
Barbadoes has lately doubled the crops the spirited
planters formerly made; that last year, althouAngh the
island is only the size of the parish of St. n, in
Jamaica, with low natural advantages, they made the
immense crop of 40,000 tons, a larger quantity than
Jamaica made in 1850, and equal to tlte crop of 1851;
that Trinidad last year also made a larger crop than the
island ever produced, under even the very favourable
times of slavery
and English protection.
There is an increasing business doing in American
Securities now the fishery dispute is considered to be
settled.
Owing to the recent altercation with the Chatham
boatmen, the committee of Lloyd's have appointed an
agent for the Kentish coast specially to look to the pro-
tection of shipwrecked property, a measure of undoubted
utility, and calculated to save much angry feeling as
well as pillage.

A meeting of Portuguese Bondholders is convened for
next Wednesday. The miserable neglect by the Go-
vernment at Lisbon of its obligations towards the foreign
creditors demanded this public assemblage, though we
b,lieve the Committee have not been idle hitherto.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 18th inst. was
very brisk for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Fo-
reign Securities were without alteration.
Rather a large business has been done in Public' Se-
curities, and the quotations are very well maintained.
Consols have been 99i to for Transfer, and 99i for
Account. The Now Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
bring 1031 to -a. The Bank returns in this evening's
Gazette will show a large increase in the bullion. The
samples of Wheat shown in Mark-lane this morning
from the west and' south of England are so bad tha
they can scarcely be accepted as a fair crite-
rion, but still it is stoutly maintained that
thousands of acres can be found as bad or oven worse.
This naturally causes anxiety, and although the rise in
Wheat is not above Is., it would speedily be much
greater if the statements made should be confirmed.
Consols now are rather weaker at 99k. Bank Stook
is firm at 2251 to 2261. Exchequer-bills realise 745. to
