MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 Atnet
rican were taken on speculation. The market wlib-firm.
The sales comprised 4,000 American, 600 Bahia at
to nit, 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 3011 Sankt at Vt.
to 48d. per lb.—Railway Shares were Clull at lower
prices. e•
The Corn Market is firm to-day.
The following report upon the Silk market is fur-
nished by Mr. W. Eaton:—
"Since my report of the Ist instant the Silk market
has been extremely quiet. China Silk, in the early part
of the month, fully participated in the general inactivity,
but during last week 300 T saltees, chiefly of good and
middling quality, have changed hands, establishing a
reduction upon the last quotation of about is. per lb.
This, however, has not had the effect of inducing buyers
to come forward as freely as could be desired, but that,
I think, may be attributed more to the uncertainty
at this season Rs to the class of goods that will be re-
quired, and to the wish to see the new Silk, daily ex-
pected by the steamer, than either to any supera-
bundant stocks or unhealthiness in the trade. In Italians
some further sales have been effected at rather easier
rates. In Bengals there is no new feature. About 500
bales will be landed in a few days. The letters last re-
ceived from Calcutta report the market as fairly active,
and prices firm. The Exchange was there also operating
against exports to England."
The statement appended, concerning the health of
the immigrants arrived this year at Quebec, is from a
local source, and must be perused with great pleastire:—
" We learn that the quarantine hopitals at Grosse Isle,
where there is accommodation and bedding for, 2,000
sick, are, at this time, almost tenantless. The whole
number remaining under treatment when the steamer
Alliance came up, on Wednesday, being two men.
While the New York papers have been filled
with accounts of sickness and mortality, this
spring, among emigrants (whom they often call
foreign paupers), it is gratifying to notice the
above fact. This season has been remarkable
for the healthy state of the emigrants, and their freedom
from the scourge of ship fever. This improved state of
things is attributed by the medical superintendent to
the amendments to the Imperial Passenger Law, to the
excellent regulations of the Commissioners, and to the
better class of passengers who now emigrate to our
shores. The route to the far west by the St. Lawrence
is likely to be generally taken by Germans and Nor-
wegians in future. Upwards of thirty vessels filled with
them have arrived this season, and several are still ex-
pected."
Bills of Exchange upon the foreign cities were mostly
negotiated yesterday afternoon at about the previous
rates, ninety-days' paper being taken at 25 478 to 40
on Paris; 12 01 to 1 on Amsterdam; 13 91 to k on
Hamburgh. Trieste was a shade lower, being-12 6to 11.
The meeting of Portuguese bondholders is now taking
place at the London Tavern, and their committee have
submitted a very elaborate report concerning past pro-
ceedings. The result, judging from the temper of the
meeting will, we apprehend, be the passing of deservedly
stringent resolutions against the government at Lisbon.
At the Newmarket Railway meeting just held, the
chairman in his speech made a very flattering represen-
tation as to the prospects of the undertaking when the
dew line of 14 miles is made, and which complete the
chain of communication. Mr.i Pane anticipates h very
satisfactory dividend, and thinks ultimately sof 6 per
cent. will be realised. The total cost of the new line
will be very small, and all the working expenies are
scrupulously kept under.
Consols look up again, ancl, we have essentially
weather me.elfete. They were about gin if at the open-
ing to-day, since 991-, to par, and ate now par to 104.
The New Three-and-te_Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted 104 to 1048. The Reduced Three per Cents,
have been at 10Gi to 1004. South Sea Stock is at 1101.
Exchequer-bills of June are at 68s. to 71s. premium, and
India Bonds are at 89.1. premium.

Foreign Stocks have been fluctuctting. Peruvian De-
ferred have been 58i, and sinn, 57. Grenada Deferred
is worth Ili to with less doing. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been at 37 and 38. Brazilian Small
Bonds are at 1021, and Mexican at 25i to Spanish
are better, the Deferred being 224 8. Dutch Four per
Cents. have been rather unsteady, at 984 to 99i.
The Railway Share Market has been rather heavy,
but no great decline has occurred. South-Eastern,
Midland, South-Western, and Great Western, may b e
selected as examples of a fall. French shares are in
favour.
Crystal Palace 'shares are at 4i to 5; and in Mines
and Joint-stock Banks there is a fair business
doing.,
