MONEY arid COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12.000 bales, of wbich 1,000 American were
taken for export and 3,000 on speculation. There was
less excitement in the market, but the advance was.
maintained. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000
Pernam and Maranhara at 6/d. to 7d., 950 Bihia at 60,
to 6i 1., 1,500 Egyptian at 6d. to 7id.. and 500 Surat at
341. to 40. per lb,—The Share Market was flat and
closed heavy at lower prices.
The aggregate business done in the produce market
has again been large and prices have been well up to
last week's range for the principal staples. The Indigo
salt-8 base commenced and are going off very satisfac-
torily. Other articles consumed for manufacturing pur-
poses, including cotton, hemp, and wool, have been in
request. Of tea there is a full supply, and the arrivals
ot sugar, coffee, spices, &c., are increasing. The ques-
tion ot a reduction in the wine duty is still attracting a
goud deal of attention among the trade and some con-
troversy; but it is unlikely the Government will ;nuke
any change at present.

The principal conditions on which the Master of the
Mint propo.es to let the refinery are, the lease to be for
ten years, terminable after three years by one year's
notice on the part of the lessee. Sub-letting not al-
lowed, nor assigning, unless by consent of the Master of
the Mint. Lessee to pay a rent of 5001. per annum, and
to give security to he amount of 10 000/. for the per-
formance of the fif,l cnndition. The lessee shalt be
bound to rcciive and refine any gold or silver sent to
the refinery by the Master of the Mint, not being less
than 100Ibs., nor more than 4001b5., in -one day, and re-
tarn the proper pantity of fine gold or fine silver, as
determified by the assay of either of the assayers to the
Mint, to be selected by the Master (the same apayer to
be employed both for issuing and receiving, and no
charge made against the refiner fur assaying), within
fourteeen days, at the following rates of charge for re-
fining:—gold 4s. per lb.; silver 6d. per lb. These
prices no; being intended to provide for parting, but for
returning fine gold only' fur alloyed gold delivered, and
fine silver only for alloyed silver delivered.. And the
Master,of the Mint is not to be considered bound by
this provision to employ ttie lessee, but to be at liberty
to employ whom he pleases for refining. To which
Baron Rothschild adds that if the work be stopped by
order of any Court, pending such order, he shall be
free from the operation of the condition as to refining.

Upon the preparation of floc by Chevalier Claussen's
processes, we have interesting and valuable information
in a work by Dr. Ryan. Directions are given for making
the long-lice, flax=cokton, and flax-wool, and there is a
description of the chemical means employed, as well as of
the system of bleaching fibres, yarns, and fabrics. Che•
valier Claussen's pamphlet upon the national importance
and advantages of the Flax movement has reached a
fourth edition, and has some useful additions.
In the Amsterdam blacker, on the 12th inst., Dutch
Stock was generally feebler. Spanish and Mexican were
brisk. Russian and Austrian were supported.
The Brazil mail has arrived, but her letters are not
yet in town. At Buenos Ayres, on the 3d April, affairs
continued unsettled; and at Monte Video the treaty with'
Brazil for the navigation of the Parana had not- been
ratified.

Public Securities are very firm again, but with little
doing. Consols bring 99} to 2- for Transfer. and 991 2
for Account. The New Three-aed-a-Quarter per
Cents. brought 1002 to 8, and the Three per Cents. 982
Bank Stock has been marked 2191 to 2201. Ex-
chequer-bills are 705. to 746. premium, and India Bonds
have touched 81s. and 84s. premium. East India Stock
is at 269.
Foreign Stocks are acted upon by the settlement,
and there is rather a full supply of them. Mexican
Bonds have been quoted 311 to and are now 31/ to
Buenos Ayrt s Bonds are 774; Venezuela Stock is
worth 16 for the IMerred; Spanish Three per Cents.
have been 468 to 478, and the New Deferred 201 to i;
Grenada Deterred are 94; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. bring 611 to 618.
Railway Shares have been firm generally,
and Wolverhampton are lower. North Stafford have
risen, and the other principal lines rather look up. The
Gold Minos are very steady, but not brisk. but Oxford
French Shares about the same.
