MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,700 American Stir.
were taken for export and on speculation. The
market continued tame, but closed steadily.
140vveds, at 6cl. to 6d., were in request, and the
sales were large. The sales comprised 6,500
erican, 280 Perham and Maranham at 6g-d. to
CI
Gd • t" 200 Bahia at 61d. to cid., 500 Egyptian at
o 9d., 300 Surat at 4d. to 4gd., and 70 Sea
Island at ls. 9d. to 2s. 7d. per lb. Railway shares
• were dull, and heavy at the lower prices.
The following report upon the silk trade is fur-
nished by Mr. H. W. Eaton I
:
.„n .`s` The deliveries of China are again very large. In
abl silk, the activity then reported, has continued un-
ated, the trade buying freely, in addition to several
le sep,atis-atebellnished
s b
eing taken on speculation. The advance
may be considered as at least ls. per lb.,
first sorts selling from 19s. Gd. to 205., and best
seconds at 19s. per lb. The letters from Shanghai
delivered this week, dated the 28th of March, have
r.aother tended to strengthen prices, though they
not afford any information sufficiently de-
ite to form an opinion as to the effect of the
insurrection, on trade, beyond confirming the gene-
ral suspension of business, and the extreme scarcity
,%111,_°neY, with the exchange very much against shippers.
Y _ also state, that even on the spot the true position
ualtaU:l;iinthe disturbed districts can hardly be accu-
turau ascertained, and a good deal of anxiety was na-
felt in regard to silk, as the operations for secu-
, during
the first crop of the new silk must be carried out
Selling
the following two months. Italian silk has been
more currently, at rather easier rates. In
~__olag:als there is no new feature, but the last accounts
ro India report prices high, as compared with this
marltet."
. Messrs. Houghton and Levy write from Liver-
pooliti concerning the fruit trade, as under

`f The trade buy with great caution, and there is
e eor no speculation, as the accounts of the ensuing
jciPs are still of an indecisive character ; our advices
2 to the 10th inst. speak of the disease having clearly
fi
her own itself, and by the last mail this is partially c.on-
.
but still the full developement thereof requires
thinkauthentication. However, we ourselves cannot

nle se of the present inactivity, and accordingly they
all relY operate for their actual wants. The market for
since of raisins has received a severe check
the announcement that the proposed alteration in
tejwas not to take place; but good hopes are still en-
',Allied, from the result of the interview between the
i:el24:ltation appointed by the trade and the Chancellor of
,
• car,flellequer, that his original proposition may yet be
efu into effect. In the meantime, the clearances are
s'ba most contracted nature, and the article remains ne-

The

o„ the reports that the Bank of England will
vance its rate of discount. The Government
e'vide
Rid uY has not to thank the bank much for its
ir in thus acting directly adverse • and, although
demand for money is undoubtedly large, this
has.risen from peculiar circumstances.
The: applications for discounts and for loans upon
b:tenequer Bills have been so numerous that the
aljtk considers it may take advantage of the cir-
cumstance to enhance the charge, and this it has
aotiCe done. This is the last day for giving
cf an intention not to renew Exchequer
