MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, including 800 American, 150 Per-
nam and Maranham, and 200 biurat, which were taken
for export, and 1,000 American on speculation. The
market closed firmly with a good demand from the trade.
The sales were 7 000 American, 250 Pernam and Ma-
ranham, at sid. to qd., 200 Egyptian at 60. to7id., and
500 Surat at 34d. to 4kd. per lb.--Bailway Shares were
very firm at higher prices.
The markets re-openedyesterday for public sales, and
a fair number have been held. Coffee has gone lower,
and sugar has not met with free buyers.' Bum, cocoa,
and tea have also been heavy. At the public sales a
very small proportion of the 13,200 packages offered
was taken by the trade. Cotton has been inactive.
The Brazilian mail brings information of a fair busi-
ness in exchanges. On the 16th ult. the rate for bills
on Loudon was 27d. The pacification of Buenos Ayres
seems to be entire. _ _

Mica is said to be so abundant in some of the Aus-
tralian gullies and creeks, that a dray load, in lumps
almost resembling blocks, may be procured in a short
time, and without much searching. A few days ago a
sample was forwarded to town, in order to its being
tested, the discoverer being in doubt whether it was not
the very identical metal out of which the twenty-shil-
lirg sovereign is coined. The sample was contained in
a lucifer-match box, and consisted of light particles of
the mica, accompanied by a message that if that were
gold a dray could soon be loaded with it at the place
where it was found.

At Amsterdam, on the 14th instant, the market for
Dutch Stock was feebler. The Two-and•a-Half per
Cents. closed at 614. Portuguese and Mexican were
not so good.

The Hatnburgh mail of Tuesday brings the rate for
bills on London the same as previously, 13 7. Money
was in more request. Grain firm.
This morning Console have reached par for money,
and dealings have been freely entered into at 991 to par.
The Amount prices are 99i to par. For the New
Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. 1001 to 101 have been
paid. Bank Stock has risen to 2181 and 2191. The
prices of Government Securities are higher now than at
any period sines the year 1845, and the Bullion in the
Bank of England amounts to three or four millions sterling
more than it did at that period. Exchequer•bills have
realised 725. to 745. premium for those dated March,
and East India Bonds are 82s. to 85s. premium.
No increase in the bullion is expected to appear in
this evening's Bank returns, but the contrary.
In the Foreign Market, Mexican Five per Cent.
Bonds have been up to 351 1, but are now 35k to k.
The Three per Cents. are 29 to y. Spanish Five per
Cents. are about 211 to and the Three per
Cents. 48 to 1. The New Deferred have
been a little weaker, viz., 21# to 22.
Portuguese Four per Cents. are quieter at 39. Grenada
Bonds have been marked 24k. Buenos Ayres have
risen upon the favourable news by the mail, being 79i,
and since 81. French Three per Cents. are 71.62 k.
with the Exchange at 25.41. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 621. Sardinian Bonds are dull at
97 to -I.
Railway Shares do not support the extreme advance
of yesterday af'ernoon, taking the general list, but the
Scotch lint s, the Midland and the Great Northern, are
still in request.
French Shares are rather steady and tending upwards,
although the business was limited. Sambre and Meuse
and Western of France are dearer.

Gold Mine Shares are quiet, but at fully previous
rates. Royal Mail Steam are rather better.
