MONEY MARK-ET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-{THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000
bales. The market was steady but quiet, 10,000 Ame-
rican were taken for export, and 1,000 Egyptian on spe-
culation. The sales included 6,000 American, 6,500
Pernam and Maranham at 60d. to Bd., 200 Bahia at
61d. to 60d., 2,500 Egyptian at 61 to 144 d., and 500
Surat at 3/d. to 4/d. Railway shares were rm.
The Government contract for 40 tons of sugar has been
taken by Messrs. J. and D. Williams, within a trifle of
20s. per cwt. for China descriptions. The pepper con-
tract has been taken by Mr. William Forbes Marshall,
fraction above 4d. per lb.
The prospect of more railways in India improves
now, the Governor-General has sent home a report, de-
cidedly in favour of the speedy execution of such under-
takings. It appears, however, that the existing com-
pany which has a concession from Calcutta to Allahabad,
and which is proceeding most tardily compared to what
Was originally promised and fully expected, is not con-
tent with that excellent tract of country, but desires
• complete monopoly of the communication far up the
Ganges, and, if permitted, possibly beyond. Lord Dal-
housie recommends a grand trunk railway to be carried
from Allahabad towards Lahore and Peshawar. This
would be work sufficient for any two companies in addi-
tion to that already in existence, and as the Upper India
Co. is formed, has its capital subscribed and a direction
of practical men, many of them well acquainted with
India, and especially one gentleman, Mr. W. P. Andrew
Who has served in that country, and whose plans have
been to a large extent adopted by the East Indian Rail-
way Company. This is precisely the association which
might be safely entrusted with the execution of a portion.
"Various efforts are making, and some of them not very
straightforward, to prejudice the cause ; and, although
these will most likely prove unsuccessful since they
emanate from pretended friends of the old company, the
sooner they are disavowed the better. One party signing
himself an "Indian Shareholder," has addressed a letter
to Lord Jocelyn, the chairman of the Upper India Rail-
Way, in which he treats the matter as though it were a
personal affair between that noble lord and Mr. Aglionby,
and advocates an amalgamation of interests. For our
own part we consider that the Hon. East India Com-
pany will best accomplish a good system of communica-
tion by keeping the undertakings distinct as far as capi-
tal and management are concerned, as they have a direct
control, and can easily regulate the general traffic so as
to cause its proper fusion, and prevent any inconveni-
ence to the public. -
The settlement of the account in the English Stock
Market has been in progress, and has proceeded favour-
ably on the whole, an advance of / toe per cent.
having occurred in Consols, which have been 98 to 0
for Transfer, and 981- to 1 for the August account. The
appearance of a change in the weather has a good effect,
for it is really one of the chief things that at
this moment affect the market, and is second only
te the Eastern question. Just now the intelligence
from Vienna, Constantinople and St. Petersburgh is de-
cidedly re-assuring, although many parties are sceptical
and will doubtless so continue until an arrangement is
officially announced. The New 31 per Cents. have been
marked, 1011 to 1 and the 3 per Cents. 980 to 991.
Bank Stock has been firmer at 229, but East India Stock
has receded to 257 and 2551. Exchequer Bills are 2s.
discount to par East India Bonds have been 21s. to 255.
pin. South Sea Stock is at 115 to 1.
Foreign Securities participate to some extent in the
improved feeling that pervades the English market.
Mexican Bonds have not been better than 264 0, and
Brazilian Old are at 1000. Spanish 3 per Cents. have
been marked 461 8, and the Deferred 220 4. Sardinian
t per Cents. are 944. There has been no business in
any of the Northern investments, and generally atten-
tion is most occupied with the settlement in the English
Market.
The Railway Share Market has been brisker, and
prices are all up. London and North Western have
risen about 1, Lancashire and Yorkshire 0, Great Wes-
tern / to 1, and York and Berwick and Caledonian is
Proportion. Great Northern A Stock is in request.
French Shares are buoyant and scarce. Strasbourg are
1 to 0 better.
Gold Mine Shares are quite neglected.
The Joint Stock Bank Shares are dull, and Union
of Australia have declined, parties having speculated in
advance for a rise upon the presumption of a large divi-
dend. The payment of 20 per cent. for the six months,
however, one might have supposed would even have
exceeded expectation, and no one can expect such divi-
dends to continue.

The Land Companies' Shares have been firmer.
The following, from the authorised weekly railway
list, is compiled by Mr. Slaughter, and relates to railway
dividends :
"At the approach of the general meetings, the follow-
ing table of the dividends declared in 1849, 1850, 1851,
and 1852, together with the balances remaining over
from the last half-year, may be found useful for refer-
