MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 Ame-
rican were taken on speculation. Tho market was firm.
The sales comprised 4 000 American, 600 Bahia at 6d.
to 7id., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 300 Surat at 34d.
to 4id. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at lower
prices.
The Corn Market is firm to-day.
Tho following report upon the Silk market is fur-
nished by Mr. W. Eaton:—
" Since my report of the Ist instant the Silk market
has been extremely quiet, China Silk, in the early part
of the month, fully participated in the general inactivity,
but during fast week 300 T settees, chiefly of good and
middling quality, have changed hands, establishing a
rr riuction upon the last quotation of about le. per lb.
This, however, has not had the effect of inducing buyers
to come forward as freely as could be desired, but that,
I think, may be attributed mere to the uncertainty
at this season as to the class of goods that will he re-
quired, and to the wish to see the new Silk, daily ex-
pected by the steamer, than either to any supera-
bundant stocks or unhealthiness in the trade. In Italians
some further sales have been effected at rather easier
rates. Ia Bengals there is no new feature. About 500
bales will be landed in a few days. The letters last re-
(wive(' from Calcutta report the market as fairly active,
and prices firm. Tho Exchange was there also operating
against exports to England."
The statement appended, concerning the health of
the immigrants arrived this year at Quebec, is from a
local source, and must be perused with great pleasure:—
" We learn that the quarantine hopitals at Grosse Isle,
where there is accommodation and bedding for 2,000
sick, are, at this time, almost tenantless. The whole
number remaining under treatment when the steamer
Alliance came up, on Wednesday, being two men.
While the New York papers have been filled
with accounts of sickness and mortality this
spring, among emigrants (whom they often call
foreign paupers), it is gratifying to notice the
above fact. This season has been remarkable
for the healthy state of the emigrants, and their freedom
from the scourge of ship fever. This improved state of
things is attributed by tee medical superintendent to
the amendments to the Imperial Pessenger Law, to the
excellent regulations of the Commissioners, and to the
better class of passengers who now emigrate to cur
shores. The route to the far west by the St. Lawrence
is likely to be generally ttdeen by Germans and Nor-
wegians in future. Upwaeds of thirty vessels filled with
them have arrived this season, and several are still ex-
pected."

Bills of Exchange upon the foreign cities were mostly
negotiated yesterday afternoon et about the previous
iates, ninety-days' paper being taken at 25 47i to SO
on Paris; 12 Ot to 1 on. Amsterdam; 13 9+ to on
Hamburgh. Trieste was a shade lower, being 12 6to S.
The meeting of Portuguese bondholders is now taking
place at the London Tave:rn, and their committee have
submitted a very elaborate report concerning past pro-
ceedings. The result, judging from the temper of the
meeting will, we apprehend, ho the passing of deservedly
stringent resolutions against the government at Lisbon.
At the Newmarket Railway meeting just held, the
chairmen in his speech made a very flattering represen-
tation_ as to the prospects of the undertaking when the
now line of 14 miles is made, and which complete the
chain of communication. r. Fans anticipates a wry
satisfactory dividend, and thinks ultimately 5 or 6 per
cent. will be realised. The total cost of the new line
will be very small, and all the working expenses are
scrupulously kept under.
Consols look up again, and we have essentially
weather markets. They were about 991 at the open-
ing to-day, since 998 to par, and are Reiff par to 1008.
The New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted 104 to 1048. The Reduced Three per Cents,
have been at 1008 :0 1001. South Sea Stock is at 1101.
Exchequer-bills of June are at 68s. to 71s. premium, and
India Bonds are at 897.. premium.
Foreign Stocks have been fluctuating. Peruvian De-
and since 57. Grenada Deferred
ferred have been 58i•
is worth 11 to with less doing. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been at 37 and 38. Brezilian Small
Bonds are at 1021, and Mexican at 25-a to j.. Spanish
are better, the Deferred being 22+ a. Dutch Four per
Cents, have been rather unsteady, at 984 to 99+.
The Railway Share Market bas been rather heavy,
but no great decline has occurred. South-Eastern,
Midland, South-Western, and Great' Western, may be
selected as examples of a fall. French shares are in
favour.
