MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 Ameriean were
taken for export, and 2,000 American and 500 Surat on
speculation. The market closed with animation, and
prices of American were tight, and Egyptian id to id.
per lb. higher. The sales comprised 10,000 American,
600 Egyptian, at 6-1-d. to 70.; 800 Surat, at 3/d. to 41d.;
and 400 Sea Island, at Is. Id. to Is. 7d. per lb.—Railway
Shares continued flat, and prices were again lower.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat, is 418.6 d. per
quarter.
An excellent clue to the foreig n commerce of the
United Kingdom is afforded by the official returns as to
the number of vessels that have been engaged in it,
From this it appears that the total inwards was 4,938,386
tons British, and 2,933,708 tons foreign, including re-
peated voyages. If we refer to the different countries.
we find the United States having a larger tonnage of
native vessels than any other country, Denmark ranking
next, Franco third, then Norway and Prussia. We see
at once, therefore, whence the strongest competition
comes; but there is good ground for hoping that, under
the amended Navigation Act, British capitalists will not,
as for years past, find an advantage in becoming share-
holders in American and other shipping companies. We
ought, with cheap labour and materials, certainly to
compete with Transatlantic builders, and to be able now
also to victual oar crews as reasonably. It is well
known that for years past the New York liners have
been part-owned by English merchants, notwithstand-
ing the protection which the navigation laws were sup-
posed to give. Tho troth is that they diverted the na-
tural current and destroyed the energy which open
competition induces. The number of ships entered out-
wards last year is thus stated:—

sold and transferred in 1851 was 372,066 tons.
The following is from the circular of Messrs. Sane-
der and Mummy. dated New Orleans, April 8, and pub-
lished by James Irvine, of Liverpool:—
" Cotton—Our review of the 13th March left the

and to destroy the confidence in the article, as it is gene-
rally' believed that the quantity produced, however largo
it may be, will readily be employed, considering the pre-
sent consumption and the slender stocks of all markets
in this country as well as in Europe. The quality of
the prt trent supplies is by no means satisfactory, the
granter part of the same consisting of the ordinary
grades , deficient in staple and colour. Everything above
strict middling is scarce, and commands full prices, good
stable cotton especially. We quote—Ordinary to good

167, 065 bales. Increase of total exports to France,
63,1 35 bales, and to other foreign ports 30,037 against
last y ear."
Tit e Budget and the probable alterations which the
Chain oellor of the Exchequer may introduce are much
canvi :sad here, and much importance is attached to an
aboli Lion of the advertisement duty. As to its reduc-
tion,
that would be considered no boon, and would
prov, i costly in collection besides. The commercial
work 1 in these days of advertising is particularly con-
comae i in the abolition of the impost.
