CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales. The market closed steadily but
tame without alteration in prices. Good stapled
American at s*d. to s,id. was in demand and
difficult to buy. The sales comprised 4,500
American. 800 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 61d.,
250 Egyp4tian, 61d. to 9d.; 400 Surat, 31d. to 41d.; and
50 Sea Islands, at ls. lid. to ls. 6d. per lb.—ln Railway
Shares a fair business was done at rather higher prices.
The letters from the United States have 'been deli-
vered, and are satisfactory in reference to commercial
matters. The value of the exports from New York last
month was 7,320,690 dolls., and upon this statement it
is remark3d by a local writer that—
"Of the above aggregate there has been a better dis-
tribution than usual. It will be aeon that only a little
more than one-half of the total went to European
ports. The value of shipments of domestic merchan-
dise to English and continental ports during the
month of February was 2,110,005 dolls., leaving a
balance of 1,242,878 dolls, for foreign ports on this
side of the Atlantic, and other than those in Europe.
This is a more favourable comparison than we have
ever been able to make before, and we have no doubt
that, in the course of another year or so, it will be
still more satisfactory. Our merchants are alive to the
importance of the trade with Central and South
America, and every effort will be made to encourage and
extend it. While our export trade with European
nations is becoming of secondary importance, we must
bear in mind that our import trade with that section of
the world should also be reduced, that the balance of
trade between us may be mere equalized. It will be
seen by the above official return, that nearly one-half of
the aggregate export for the month was in specie, the
shipment of ooin averaging nearly nine hundred thou-
sand dollars per week."
According to official returns from the Custom House
lof San Francisco, the shipments of gold dust from that
port during 1852 were as annexed:—

A line of serew-steamers is about to be established
from the ports of Quebec and Montreal to Liverpool and
other ports. These vessels are proposed to run 'fort-
nightly while the navigation of the St. Lawrence is
open, and monthly between Liverpool and Halifax,
Portland, or some other port of the Atlantic.
The accounts from India notice no particular altera-
tion in the import markets, but the value of money was
easy.
The Amsterdam Stock Market was very lively, and
at advanced rates on the 15th inst. for all securities.
Tho English Stock Market has been exceedingly firm
again, although business is very restricted. Consols
have been 98, and are now 98k. Exchequer-bills con-

- In the Foreign Market a farther important rise has
occurred in Buenos Ayres Bonds, which opened at 71,
suddenly advanced to 75, reached to 73i, and are now 77.
Equador also are firmer at 4 to 5, and Grenada De-
ferred have risen to 10i t. Brazilian Stock is worth
994. Venezuela Bonds have been 43 to /. Mexican
are still flat at 32i to I. Peruvian Deferred have reached

the Three per Cents. 42k to 43. The Deferred are 19k 4,

dinian Bonds have been at 9112 and 93k. Dutch Four
per Cents. are 95 to k.
There is a further decided improvement in most
Railway Shares, and a large business is doing. The
market has, in fact, net been so aaimated for some time
past. Great Northern have started up about 10a. to
155., Great-Western 11., North-Western 11. to it. 55.,
and Midland 21. to 31. Lancashire and Yorkshire are
up about 21., Caledonian ss. to 10s. Some of the French
Shares are dearer, but not in the same proportion. Paris
and Strasbourg are, perhaps, scarcely so good. Dutch
Rhenish are in favour at very full prices.
The Gold Mine Shares look well, though not particu-
larly active.
