MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLuCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti
mated at 10,000 bales, including 3.,000 American taken
for export and on speculation. The market closed with
an upward tendency. The sales comprised 8 000 Ame-
rican, 550 Pernam and Marto:ham at 54.1. to 74d., 600
Egyptian at 54d. to 7i t., 600 Surat at 311. to 4i 1., and
100 Sea Island at le. lid. to Is. sd. per lb.—ln Railway
Shares a good busines, was done.
The number of gallons of proof spirits distilled
in the United Kingdom was lass year 24,543,657, ac-
cording to a Parliamentary return out this morning,
and of this 5,368,041 gallons were produced from malt
only, 18,272.773 gallons from malt and other grain
mixed, and 402,843 from sugar or molasses with un-
malted grain.
Accounts trnm Havannah, dated the end of last month,
refer thus unfavourably to the prospects of the crops:—
" The western end of the island has been visited with
continued end heavy rains during the past fortnight,
which have put a stop to sugar grinding, and will conti
nue to interrupt it for some days to come. This cause
may shorten the crop ten or fiiteen par cent. from what
it would have been under more favourable circumstances.
There is considerable talk now that the yield will tall
300,0,10 boxes short of last year; but I am inclined to
think that the estimate is too high, and that augers can
be purchased a month hence lower than now. Owing,
however, to the bad accounts from the country, prices
have been firm and well sustained during the last fort-
night, without advancing; the sales have been limited,
and consequently freights are not readily obtained, and
rates have declined. Exchanges have stiffened some-
what. The market for American produce is without
animation, and no change can be noted in the quotations
of a fortnight since.
" The exportation of; country produce from this port
to date are as follows:—Of the exports this month, there
went to the United States 24,451 boxes sugar, 23,730
arrobas coffee, 5,982 M. segara, 49,920 lbs. tobacco, and
3,433 hhds. molasses. The exports of sugar and mo-
lasses from Matanzas from the Ist to the 27th instant,
and previously this year, were, to the United States,
29,541 boxes sugar, and 25,300 hhds. molasses.
" Freights—Great Britain, 21. to 21 10s. ; Mediterra-
nean, 11. 10v. to 21. 15s. ; France, 80f. to 90f. ; United
States, per box sugar, 1 doll. 250.; ditto, hhd. mo-
lasses, 2 dolls. 500. ; ditto, ditto, augur, 5 dolls. to
6 dolls.
" Exchanges—On London, 60 days' sight 104 to 11
premium ;
New York, ditto, 24 to 24 discount; Boston,
ditto, 24 ditto?'
The Hamburgh mail of last Friday brings the quo-
tation for bills on London, 1 to li lower, viz., 13 54.
Discounts were materially higher, and money was in
much request.
The Stock Market is flat, and there is still a supply
of Consols by the public, who may perhaps doubt what
what is to be the result of the Budget and the elections,
and therefore realise upon the late advance. Ulti-
mately, however, ii money continues abundant, the
Funds may go higher than before. Consols have been
