MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday,
were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 Ame-
rican were taken on speculation. The market
closed steadily. The sales comprised 100 Bahia, at
6g to 6i; 200 Egyptian, at 6i-d. to 7d.; 400 Surat,
at 4d. to 4 d., and the remainder nearly all Ame-
rican. Railway shares were firm at higher prices.
There are more vessels known to be on the way
from Australia, and the aggregate amount of gold
they will bring is important. The Andromache
will have 42,051 ounces from Sydney ; the Nestor,
12,295 ounces ; and the Roman Emperor, 6,400
ounces.
The Pelham has arrived from Sydney with
27,000 ounces.
From a return, showing the quantity of some of
the principal articles of produce which left New
York, at tide-water, from the commencement of
navigation to 31st October, inclusive, in the years
1851 and 1852, we find that in the present year
there was a slight falling off in flour and rye, but
an increase in wheat of 2,752,132 bushels, in barley
of 168,841 bushels, and in pork of 23,989 lbs.
There was a decrease in the quantity of corn
amounting to 2,115,617 bushels, and in cheese,
wool, and bacon there was also a material diminu-
tion.

In the last week in October there was an in-
crease in the quantity of flour left this year of
1,9121b5. ; in wheat, of 215,226 bushels ; and in
barley, of 71,165 bushels ; while in corn there was
a decrease of 128,554 bushels.
Discoveries of gold have been made in Canada,
which seem to warrant the belief that it will be-
come a great gold-producing country. Lumps,
valued at 8001. to 9001. have, it is said, been
found at the Chandiere mine, about 30 miles dis-
tant from Quebec. Quartz is reported to exist
to a large extent, and it is considered from the
geological structure of the hills where the discoveries
have been made that gold exists in large quantities.
There appears from the official return a diminu-
tion of 131 vessels and 51,547 tons in the arrivals
at Quebec during the present year up to October
30, as compared with the same period in 1851.
The English Stocks have been advancing again,
and there are investments still making in Consols,
which have been up to 1011 #, though since a little
flatter. For Account the quotations have been
101 k to #. The New per Cents, have realised
103#- to /. Bank Stock has been up to 223 to
2231. India Stock is worth 275. Exchequer Bills
are down a little, being 695. to 725. premium ; and
India Bonds are at 83s. premium.
Foreign Stocks have been brisker. In Sardinian
there have been transactions at 99 to 100 k. Gre-
nada Deferred are more in request at 10-4- to 11/.
Austrian Scrip is 8 premium. Equador Stock is
at 5. Mexican Bonds have been quoted at 25* to #.
Spanish Deferred are 25 to f, being a shade higher.
Dutch 21- per Cents., are at 651 to 66. Turkish
Loan is worth 3 premium, and Swedish Loan 1 to
lit discount.

-There has been a very buoyant market again for
the English railways, and the buying and selling
being more active corresponding fluctuation occurs.
Caledonians have again been maintained at 63 to
64. Aberdeen and North British are higher, and.
Brighton and Great Northern, Oxford and Wolver-
hampton, and South Wales have been in request.
The French lines are neglected, and it would seem
that as the English market revives the other de-
clines. At any rate there is much less doing than
there was.

The Gold Mine Shares are very firm, and the
Nouvean Monde have advanced. There have been
a few bargains in the Electric Telegraph of Ireland
and in the General Steam at 303. advance, and in
the Australian Royal Mail at ijg. to / discount.
The Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Com-
pany have received letters from Melbourne, dated
25th of August, advising the safe arrival of the
Augusta Schneider and Geelong with the com-
pany's staff, all well and in good health.
Mr. Hopkin's had made arrangements to send
them up to the diggings immediately; he had
founded an establishment at Forest Creek, where
he would put one party to work, and would then
go out and establish another party at Bendigo. Mr.
Hopkin's entertained the fullest confidence of the
result; he had previously arranged to supply the
men with stores, provisions, &c., and he expected
to be able to secure a respectable amount of gold
dust as a remittance by the royal mail steamer
Australian,.
The establishment at Forest Creek had com-
menced the purchase of gold dust. Invoices of two
small parcels have been received which had been
sent to Melbourne for shipment, and they were
provided with ample funds to continue their ope-
rations.
