MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken on speculation. The market closed with a hard-
ening tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American,
500 Egyptian, at 6d. to 9i1.; and 400 Surat, at 3id. to
4i d. per lb.—Railway Shares were at lower prices.
Upon the state of the Iron trade we have the follow-
ing from Messrs. W. Short and Co.:—
" Rails are in good request, and the price is extremely
firm. Bare continue in fair re queer, and the price is
steadily advancing. All other descriptions of manatee
Lured Iron are equally firm. In Scotch Pig Iron a large
business has been done up to 465. per ton cash, arid 475.
three months prompt for medium numbers of good brands.

In reference to the proposed payment of a dividend on
the North British preference snares for the past half-
year, at the rate of 3} instead of 6 per cent, per annum,
inquiry has been made respecting the proprietors' claims
for the deficiency from subsequently accruing profits.
The following reply, dated the 30th August. was re-
ceived from the secretary :
"I am favoured with your letter of the 27th instant.
The Act under which the preference stock (No. 1) was
created does not, in express terms, provide for the pay-
ment of arrears of dividend, nor, so far as I am aware,
dues any preference Act contain such a provision.
"The question is purely one of law, and, I believe, the
directors intend taking the opinion of counsel on the
point. The question will probably be discussed at the
meeting on the 10th proximo."
The intelligence by the American packet to-day is on
the whole favourable. The question of the Lobos
Islands continued to excite attention, but Mr. Webster
prudently considers that the alleged possession by Peru
is not thoroughly justified. Meanwhile, however, the
active intervention of the Government is suspended. The
Money and Stock Markets are steady, the supply of
the former being generally abundant, although an en-
deavour has been made by the Banks to raise the rate
of interest.

The advices by the West India Mail are not altogether
encouraging. From Mexico the accounts show a terri-
ble disorganization of affairs, and apprehensions were
entertained of a fresh revolution.

The French Government have given notice of a re-
duction of the rata of interest on Treasury Bonds. Tho
future regulations are as follows :—on Bonds, at from
four to five months' date, 1 per cent. interest, per an-
num; on Boas at from five to eleven months' date,
2 per cent; on Bonds at one year 3 per cent.
Business in the Turkish Loan has been transacted

this morning at SZ; and the present price is 58 to
premium. To-day is the date fixed for the payment of
the 25 per cent. deposit, but it is stated that the greater
part has been already anticipated.
The English Funds have not fluctuated to any ex-
tent this morning, and prices generally show a steady
appearance. Consols for Money are quoted 100, and for
the Account 100 to -h-; Three per Cents. Reduced, 1004
to and Three-and•a-Half per Cents. 1041 to Z. Ex-
chequer-bills remain 735. to 765. premium.
Mexican has suffered a considerable decline in conse-
quence of the nature of tendencies from that Republic.
The price closed 258 to 26 on Saturday, but sales effected
this morning have caused a fall of nearly 4 per cent., and
the present nearest quotation is 244 to 251. Peruvian
is well maintained at 1031 to 104; the Deferred 61i to
62; Spanish Three per Cents. are 49Z to 50k, and Rus-
sian Five per Cents. 114.
The English Share Market is very firm, but transac-
tions are circumscribed. Midland Stock is most in
favour at 78, and Lancashire and Yorkshire is also in
demand. The shares of the London Chartered Bank
are 22 to 2 premium.
