MONEY AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK, HIS DAY.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American
were taken for export. The market closed tamely,
but firmly, at previous rates. The sales comprised
6,000 American, 250 Pernam and Marauham at
bid. to i/d., 300 Egyptian at 7d. to 9d., 1,000
Surat at 3-id. to 5d., and 40 Sea Island at 2s. 2d.
to 2s. sd. per lb. Railway shares were firm, with
but little business doing.

The improvement in the resources of the British
American provinces has been so remarkable that,
even in contrast to Australia, it deserves special
attention, and affords matter for sincere congratu-
lation. One might have expected that the attrac-
tions so suddenly offered by our southern colonies
would have proved very damaging to the Canadian
settlements, but such does not appear to have been
the case.

The foreign exchanges were a shade lower yes-
terday afternoon, bills dated 90 days being taken
at 25 171 to 20 on Paris, 25 171 to 221 on Antwerp,
11 18 to 1 on Amsterdam, 13 61 to 62- on Ham-
burgh, and 10 56 to 58 in Trieste.
Gold is in more demand again for exportation
to the Continent.
Yesterday there were 2,4271. 13s. Id. of New
Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Stocks accepted at the
Bank of England. This is the first acceptance for
a long period, but probably would be followed by
others if the Eastern question were disposed of.
There has been a very steady market for Public
Securities, but the dealing has been principally for
money. Consols have been done at 98g s for
Transfer, and 984 for Account. The New 31 per
Cents. have realised 101/ to 102, and the 3 per
Cents. 994 to g. Bank Stock has been quiet at
228, and India Stock at 255. Exchequer Bills
have realised par to 3 premium.
In Foreign Securities, there is still very little
business doing, but prices are maintained. Spanish
3 per Cents. have been 231, and the Passive, 51.
Portuguese 4 per Cents. are 432. Brazilian 5 per
Cents. have been firm at 1021. Buenos Ayres
Stock is worth 621. Mexican Stock has been done
at 26.1 to 27, and Peruvian 41 per Cents. are at 1
discount. Sardinian Stock is at 95k. Dutch 21i-
per Cents. are 641 to 1.
The Railway Share Market is rather weak and
fluctuating, and the transactions have reference
chiefly to the settlement of the Account. Mid-
land, Caledonian, and York and North Midland
have been chiefly dealt in. The French Shares
are again rising ; and, as usual about the settling
day, are scarce.
The Gold Mine Shares have been neglected.
The Land Companies have been flatter generally.
The Joint Stock Bank Shares are mostly sup-
ported, but Union of Australia have been heavier.
