MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of. Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American and 1,500
Surat were taken on speculation. The market was very
firm at fully previous rates. The sales comprised 5,500
American and 2,000 Surat at 31d. to 44d. per lb.—Rail-
way Shares were steady at rather higher prices.
The condition of the silk trade in London is thus re-
ported on by Mr. Henry W. Eaton:—" Early in May,
operations were comparatively limited, but the last ten
days will have fully compensated for any previous in-
activity. In Chinas a considerable business has been
done at generally improved rates, the reduced stocks,
combined with the unusually small quantity afloat for
the time of year, imparting to the market a decided
firmness. Taystiams are extremely scarce, and are
realising very high prices. Bengals have at last
fully participated in the current business; the arrival
of about 800 bales of old silk, long overdue, having
to a certain extent supplied the market with the
required qualities. In Brutias the recent imports have
been taken freely, at a alight advance on the prices of
April; and the uncleared stock does not exceed 200
bales, nor that of Persian 400 ballots. In Italian Silk
there has been more doing, and at higher prices, but the
limited assortment could afford but little assistance in
the scarcity of other sorts, supposing even that the
China Silk was not so much' better adapted to the goods
at present required."
In a commuication from Mr. H. R. Forrest the specu-
lation in Cotton is referred to in the following, terms:—
" During the month a considerable speculation has
taken place in the Cotton market, fostered in a great
measure by the operations on the other side of the At-
lantic, and prices have fluctuated during the month
about Id. to id. to the prejudice of the consumers. An
opinion is, however, gaining strength that the trade is
better provisioned than was thought to be the case a
short while ago; this coupled with the almost substan-
tiated fact that the present crop will amount to
3,000,000 8., with fair prospects of the next yield, to-
gether with the unsatisfactory state of many of the dis-
tant markets, will in all probability prevent any further rise, if not create a weakness of prices at Liverpool."
We hope sincerely that. Brother Jonathan may be
permitted to speculate in cotton as much as he pleases,
but that the Liverpool dealers will act guardedly, for
there is really no valid ground why prices should be
run up.
The views taken at Liverpool of the Wool Market is
thus explained by Messrs. Joseph Robinson and Co.:—
" The extraordinary accounts received recently from
the New South Wales gold regions, of the successful
results attending those searching for gold, and the ge-
neral desertion of the flocks by the shepherds, have
caused considerable apprehension as to supply, for the
sheep in the lambing season require the personal care of
those who are in charge, so that it is feared the
approaching clip will be a failure. These important
considerations have caused an unusually large at-
tendance at the London sales now on, both of the
home and continental buyers, and Australian has ad-
vanced fully 2d. per lb.; as the season advances no
doubt a further rise will accrue. By private treaty, all
kinds have been in demand, but such is the bareness of
stocks, that the receipts are by no means equal to the
requirements; sales chiefly in Black and White Lisbon,
Spanish Frontier, Peruvian, washed Oporto fleece,
l'urkey fleece and skin, Mogadore, greasy Smyrna,
Egyptian, East India, &c., &c., and the market closes
with an advance on most descriptions of low Wools of
4d. per lb. All coarse classes are in great request, with
the exception of one or twd kinds, such as greasy Bar -
Tbaurryk,ey, &c:;
