MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The following is from Messrs. Schrader and Mummy's
Circalar, dated New Orleans, January 31:—
" Cotton—Our last Circular was dated 10th instant,
and reported middling at 7ic. per lb.—prices continued
firm, in some instances higher and without any sensible
variation until the 26th inst., when we received the news
from Liverpool of the 10th inst, announcing an unsatis-
factory state of political relations between France and
Englaud, its immediate effect was a stagnation of busi-
ness for a day or two. The sales were limited and at
irregular prices, showing a decline however of /ie. per
lb. upon the lower grades—further details of the ac-
counts coming to hand by the wires and modifying the
first impression produced, business was again resumed,
and prices gradually stiffening have now nearly reached
the Lite highest point—even running lots of middling
being worth 7ic. per lb. The sales during the last
three weeks have been quite large. amounting to
137,500 bales against receipts of 117,823 bales in the
same thee. The stock for sale continues moderate,
despite the opening of some important tributaries—the
quality is still unsatisfactory, the better descriptions
being scarce. The general expectation is that the next
steamer must bring aceounts of a more tranquillising and
settled character; in this event we think our prices for
Cotton will be fully maintained under the universal de•
mud which prevails at present. We quote ordinary to
good ordinary at 6-1 to 61-; low middling, 7 to 711;
middling, 7i; good middling, 7i to 8; middling fair,
8-1 to 81; fair, 81 to Bi. Sales daring the three weeks
4
137,500 bales. Receipts at this port, 693,509 bales--
against 561,678 bales last year. Increase of receipts at
all ports, 84,980 bales. Increase of total exports to
Great Britain, 54,158 bales. Decrease of total exports
to France 10417 bales, and to other foreign ports
15,718, against last year."
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, of which 500
Surat were takenon speculation. The sales include 400
Pernam and Maranham at sid. to 64d., 200 Egyptian at
sd. to 9d., 1,500 Surat at 20. to 4d., 40 Sea Island at
Is. 2d. to ls. 6,0., and the remaindsehraArems ewreicraen.firmThaet
market closed steadily.—Railway
rather higher rates.
In referring to the condition of the dried fruit trade,
Messrs. Witherby and Hanson remark that the clear-
ances of currants have greatly fallen off, and then pro-
ceeds to state that—
" It is difficult to account for this sudden decrease in
our deliveries for consumption. A similar falling off, in
the early part of 1850, arose from foreign speculative
purchases having:driven prices 3s. per cwt. above those of
Liverpool. It must be borne in mind, however, that the
clearances in November and December last reached nearly
4,000 tons, which far exceeded those of any former year,
and that the trade generally may be over cautious this
season in consequence of the gradual decline in price at
this market during the whole of last season. Advices
from Patras represent the disastrous results of the 1850
crop and the unremunerative prices of the present season
as causing great distress amongst the growers of cur-
rants, and leave room to expect that the production may
be seriously checked this year. So great is the scarcity
of money in the Morea, and the want of confidence on
the part of merchants, that the growers have, in many
extensive localities, been precluded from obtaining those
advances which are absolutely requisite for the mere
cultivation of the vines. It is much to be desired that
the present adverse state of things may effectually
check the production of the ' Pirgos,' and other low
growths, which have of late years ao much infested this
market."

The American advices are favourable, and as the ex-
change keeps up, we may expect continued imports of
specie. The New York Herald, alluding to the Quartz
Mining :Companies, states —A great many quartz
mining companies have recently been formed in this
city, in London, and in San Francisco; but it is impos-
sible to tell, at this.early day, how many will actually go
into operation. All it wants is capital, and the English
companies are, therefore, likely to be more successful
than those formed in this country. Attempts have lately
been made to get up two or three new companies here,
but it is our impression that they have not progressed
very, rapidly. In one instance dividends have been de-
clared, and we believe the whole capital stock has been
paid back to the original holders, out of the prospective
earnings of the company. Many of these quartz mining
stock companies are destined to be great bubbles, and the
uninitiated are in a fair way of being pretty well fleeced.
The Mexican Government has quite worsted the revo-
lutionists.
Csravajal and his followers are said to be in a very
destitute condition, and there is no probability that they
will again attempt to revolutionise Northern Mexico.
At last accounts, the revolutionists were encamped on
the borders of Texas, and General Harney had sent a
detachment of United States troops to arrest the whole
squad.
The recently attempted revolution in Chili, by
General Cruz, a disappointed candidate in the last Pre-
sidential election, was suppressed on the Bth of December
last, in a battle at Longomilla, in which Cruz was de-
feated by General Bulres. The republic was quiet on
the 26:b of that month, and Montt, the President, re-
mained undisturbed in his office.
The Bank of England has positively declined to par-
chew any gold not of standard fineness; sellers, there-
fore, met not only melt but refine their metal.
The English Stock Market has been very dull, but
prices continue steady. Consols have been 97 to for
Transfer, and are now 971, sellers. The foreign news
is not of interest, but the further large amount of specie
from America should rather be in favour of Stock
prices. The Unfunded Debt is steady at 60s. to 635.,
and India Bonds are 718. to 735. premium.
In Foreign Securities there is not a great deal doing,
but prices look up. The Spanish Committee's Certifi-
cate has risen to 11 per cent. The Five per Cents. are
nominally 231 to -, and the Three per Cents. 40i to

DRUFIN-LANE THEATRE.
We regret that the performances which took place at
this theatre last night for the benefit of the widows and
orphans of the sufferers by the loss of the Amazon
failed to draw a fullor audience. Some recent unfriendly
strictures on the undertaking which appeared in an in-
iuential organ may in some measure be thanked for this
lfailure in the desired success. Strange to say, the

royal box was entirely empty. The Hunchback, a mis-
cellaneous concert, end the new farce of Too Late for
( Train constituted the entertaium.nts. That Mr.
tinn's benevolent purpose was not satisfactorily carried
out was no fault of his.
