The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated

without alteration in prices, except for short staple Ameri-

'and Maranham, at 534 d. ; 30 Bahia, at 6%d. ; LOCO Egyp-
tian, at 6d. to 9d.; 500 Surat, at 3%d to 41d. ; and 80
Sea Island, at Is. lied. to Is. 6d per lb.—Railway Shares
were dull, without material alteration in prices.
The quantity of produce brought forward at the public
sales this week has been very moderate, and there is no
essential alteration in the prices of th< leading staples. The
imports are inerasing a little, but the wind has not yet
changed sufficiently to bring in many vessels. The con-
supintion progresses steadily as regards Sugar, Coffee, and
most other articles.
Upon the state of the Piece-goods Market daring the past
month Messrs. MiNair, Greenhuw, and Irving, write from
Manchester as follows :---" Though the bustling 'activity
'which in byegone years used proverbially to characterise the
month of March would appear to have passed away from the
now much more frequent and rapid intercourse established be-
tween every district of the Uuited Kingdom and with almost
every portion of the world, it is gratifying to perceive that,
though prosecuted in a much less active manner, outwardly
its operations in the present year have again been of an ex-
tensive character. During the first fourteen days of the
month the position of matters, as indicated in our last
monthly circular, experienced further improvement as re-
garded demand, accompanied not only with greater firmness
in prices, but likewise with a further advance upon certain
descriptions of cloth and yarn. Since then, from the droop-
ing tendency of the Liverpool Cotton Market, as consequent
upon a secession of the then recent heavy operations in it,
and in an apprehended early and heavy supply of the raw
material, this market, as usual, has manifested its unvarying
sympathy, and induced a material suspension of operations,
except for pressing wants, together with a general and de-
clining tendency in prices."
The Bill brought in to enable her Majesty to abolish
otherwise than by treaty, on condition of reciprocity, differen-
tial duties on foreign ships, provides that " where it shall
appear to her Majesty that by the laws or regulations of any
foreign power the trade and shipping of Great Britain in
the ports of such foreign power have been placed upon the
same footing as the trade and shipping of such foreign
power, it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by order to be by
her made with the advice of her Privy Council, and to be
published in the London Gazette, to order and declare that
the trade and shipping of such foreign power shall have
the benefit of the provisions of this Act; and there-
upon all the provisions, clauses, matters, and things in
the said first-recited Act contained shall, so long as such
Order in Council shall remain in force, but ne longer, apply
and extend to the trade and shipping of such foreign power,
as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as they
apply to the trade and shipping of the said United States
and Portugal, or would apply to such trade and shipping if
the convention and treaty intended to be carried into effect
by the said first-recited Act were in force, and shall also apply
and extend to differential duties or charges on goods imported
or exported in the ships or vessels of such foreign power as
well as to differential duties on the ships or vessels of such
foreign power."
Official returns of the position of the Savings
Banks, between November 20, 1849, and August 8, 1851,
snow rather interesting results. It would appear that from
January to July, 1850, the sums withdrawn were very
large, whereas in the first three months of 1851 the deposits
exceeded the repayments. Taking the whole period from
November, 1849, to August, 1851, the amounts were as
follow :
Excess paid in by Savings Banks beyond the
sums drawn out ........ .............
Excessdrawn out, including interest on sums
drawn out ...... . ...... ...... . ...... 914,263

The Stock Market is quiet, but firm, this morning.
Consols have been 911% % for T-ansfer, and 983/0 more
sellers than buyers, for Account. Excht quer-bile have been
quoted 68s, to 715., and India Bonds 775. to 80e. premium.
Money is easier in the market, and this will give encourage-
ment to speculation, if politics do not intervene. South Sea
Stock is at 1091/s. and Bank Stock for Account brings 221.
Attention in the Foreign Market is almost exclusively
directed to Mexican Bends, which are full 1 per cent. higher
than yesterday, being 34 % for the old stock, and 27% to
281/2 for the new converted, ex dividend. Besides the
information, the large amount of the next remittance,
Meese?. Baring Brothers are now in a position to advance
part of the indemnity money to those who do not prefer
waiting. Many have entire confidence and sufficient means
to hold on and save the interest asked, viz a e rate of
five per cent. per annum. Propoials to feral theirs enue, so
as to cover the dividend and give a surplus have been made
by some leading Mexican firms. Peruvian Bonds have
been 10514 to % for the File: per Cents., and 66 ke' to 67 for
the Deferred. Buenos Ayres Stock is worth 74 to 76, an
advance. Venezuela also are up to 48 Red 48 es.
