MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,500 American, 4,500
Egyptian, and 1,000 Bahia were taken on speculation.
The market closed firmly, and, compared with Friday's
rates, American were *d., common Egyptian id., mid.
ditto id., and good and fine id. to ld. per lb. dearer.
The sales comprised 7,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and
Maranhana, at 61d. to 7d.; 1,100 Bahia, at bid. to 6id.;
5,000 Egyptian, at 6d. to llid,; and 500 Surat, at aid.
to 411 per lb.—Railway Shares were very dull, and
prices were still declining.
The letters received by the West India mail show
that the Sugar crops in several of the smaller colonies
have been larger than for many years.
In the Produce markets this week a good business has
been done for consumption, and values have been sup-
ported. Sugar has maintained its value, and coffee was
rather firmer early in the week, though a little heavier
since. Rice has been in extensive demand; and Tallow
bas a steady sale. Cotton has been supported and in
request. Rum dull; and Tea without alteration. Wool
and Jute have been in demand.
Upon the state of the Plece•goode market, we have
the following from Messrs. M‘Nair, Greenhow, and Ir-
ving, of Manchester :
" Indications of progressive improvement in the ge-
neral prosperity of this district continue to acquire ad-
ditional strength and force, provided the erection of
new mills, the excess of demand over supply, and the
comparative scarcity of hands, in several localities to
work out the gradually increasing productive powers
constitute altogether a legitimate test. Emigration in
a general way has undoubtedly done much to lessen the
amount of available operative labour; still the diminu-
tion in that respect is more than overbalanced by the

necessity which has, during the present and the last
year or two, been developing itself for
increased employment. We refer both to power,
and hand-loom operatives, who are in many
places demanding, and, in some, we are happy to
say, obtaining, an increase of wages. Since the date of
our last, the outward appearance of this market may be
said to have undergone no material change. Occa-
sional and momentary deviations were perceptible,
arising principally from the condition of the Cotton
market, and the accounts from India and China. In
general the aspect has been of a steady and subdued
character, resulting in the large aggregate amount of
transactions. Though the demand has been sluggish, it
has, for home and export requirements, been aided very
materially by the last overland intelligence from India,
more especially as regarded yarns, not only been suffi-
cient to prevent any accumulations of stock, but to con-
tinue many spinners and manufacturers in the possession
of orders for some Cale to come. Buyers, who have
acted with great caution throughout the month, from the
high point which prices have again reached, are generally
still determined to pursue the same cautious course until
some reliable information becomes available respecting
the next Cotton crop. Prices. as will have been ob-
served, vary very little from those ruling at the end of
August. With but one or two exceptions—and more
particularly as regards water twist, which, since Tues-
day last, has, however, partly recovered what it had in
the course of the month lost—they are fully firmer than
at that period. The demand for the country trade has
been considerable. With the advanced period of the
season no great activity can now be.expected generally
before the close of the Sear. The facilities for travelling
now-a-days have, however, destroyed the old land marks,
and the drapers may be found supplying themselves
from time to time, notwithstanding the Silk trade—a
branch of manufacture but seldom adverted to—is said
to be in anything but a prosperous condition."
The Bankers' Magazine for October has the following
significant paragraph as to the inconvenience arising from
the Banking Act of 1844:
" The circulation continues to decrease. We are dis-
posed to thiak that the high figure at which it stood a
few weeks ago was to be traced, in a great measure, to
the limitation in Ole country bank issues. We infer,
from inquiries made, that the country bankers have been
subjected to great inconvenience during the summer, in
consequence of their circulation being limited, and as
the Bank Charter rvia soon be under discussion, it might
be of service if our pages were made the medium of
placing on record any particular facts connected with
the working of the present law. The bullion remains
much the same, and probaf,ly an increase of imports
before the end of the year will reduce it in spite of the
Australian supplies."

What we yesterday
stated concerning Mexico is fully
borne out by the following information sent over to the
committee of bondholders from Mr. Falconnet, dated
Mexico the Ist and
2d of September. He ends a copy
of an order from the Government, which, at his in-
stance, had s
been issued to all the custom houses of the
Republic, to furnish monthly statements of the produce
of the revenues assigned for the payment of the interest
on tho foreign debt, iu order to enable the Departmtlit
of Finance to kup the accounts of the bondholders with
more inaccuracy and regularity than has been the case
hitherto.
This packet has brought nothing for the payment of
the overdue dividend, but Messrs. Baring Brothers, and
on account of their advance of
Co. have r,ceived 56,539 dolls. 13 MILS. from Vera
payment of the last January
dividend, which leaves s
Pfoi er°' the
sumo 15,000
BCorou,zootionddol'ila'srsin
dollars still due to
them on that account; there is, however, some hope of ,
a remittance on account of the duly dividend nest
month.

Mr. FaV)nnet gave an unfavourable account of the
internal state of Mexico, of which the friends of Santa
Anna endeavour to take advantage in his favour. Ac-
cording to reports, they were gaming ground in the im-
portant state of Jalisco, and ho adds, per postcript, dated
Sept. 2 :
