The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,200
American and 500 Surat taken for export. The
market closed very heavily, and prices had a down-
ward tendency. The sales comprised 4,000 Ame-
rican, 120 Pernam and Maranham, at 6id. to
; 100 Egyptian, at qd. to Qd. ; 1,500 Surat,
at 3d. to 31d., and 50 Sea Island, at Is. to 2s.
id. per lb. Railway shares were every flat.
The new charge of 2d. per cwt. upon all goods
shipped at various docks and wharves in London
appears to give dissatisfaotion, judging by the fol-
lowing statement in the Daily Commercial Gazette:
"Great complaint during the last few days has been
made by the shippers and exporters of goods, owing to a
new impost being levied by the various Dock and Wharf
Companies. A charge of 2d. per cwt. has now to be
paid on all goods shipped, but although the amount in
question 100K5 small, it is a very important item,
fur we hear it will make a difference of 1,5001.
per annum to one firm, who purchase in this market
for one of the outports. In the public sale, on
Thursday last, a question was asked the selling broker,
whether he would allow the buyer the extra 2d. percwt.,
as he ba,k large orders for export, and this being de-
clined, the principal part of the sale was bou.;ht in. The
sooner this question is finally settled the better, for if
these vexatious alterations are to be allowed, the trade
of the port of London will be materially affected, as
many of the merchants will order their goods to be
landed at the outports, rather than be subjected to these
impolitic charges. As the new rate will undoubtedly
come out of the importer's pockets either in the shape
of allowance, or loss in the actual value of the goods
sold, we should advise the immediate attention of the
merchants on the subject, and petition the various com-
panies to abolish this obnoxious charge."
Accounts from Hamburgh state that the Swedish
Government feels much relieved by the departure
of the allied fleets from its coasts, and, when Ad-
miral Napier returns, will be more at liberty to
pursue its own policy, which is certainly more Rus-
sian than English. It is evident from the tone of
these communications that we have not succeeded
in making ourselves much feared or respected in
the Baltic. Thanks to our irresolute policy.
A publication of much value to bankers, stock-
brokers, and all persons connected with the money
market is the new edition of " Fenn on the Eng-
lish and Foreign Funds," &c., edited by Mr. Henry
Ayres, of the Bankers' • Circular. Besides a most
ample account of the debt of the United King-
dom, the 'liabilities of every foreign state,
rendered' in English currency, are given, with
the laws and regulations of the Stock Exchange
balance sheets of the banks, railway returns, Stamp
Duties Act, and other information, brought down
to the latest possible date, and arranged with the
greatest care.
" Anderson's Mercantile Correspondence" is a
'volume of interest to the commercial community,
and this sixth addition, revised and enlarged, will
best attest its merits. The modern business letters
are of that practical character that will at once be
recognised as different from the usual school
models.
In bills of exchange upon the principal conti-
nental cities, there was yesterday afternoon a fair
business done, and at full rates, except on France
and Belgium, which were rather easier. Paper
dated 90 days was negotiated at 25 25 to 30 on
Paris, 11 17i to on Amsterdam, 13 6to 6i on
Hamburg, 1181 on Frankfort, and 11 38 to 42 on
Trieste.
Gold was in demand again yesterday, and a good
deal has been exported to the continent.

business. Consols have been 95k to 1' and since
