MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American
were taken for export and on speculation. The
market closed tamely without much change in
prices. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 500
Perham and Maranham, at 60. to 64d.; 200 Egyp-
tian, at Cid. to 9d., and 300 Surat, at 3,1 d. to
4id. per lb. Railway shares were active at im-
proved prices.
The public sales of wool were brought to a close
last evening, and the following particulars of the
results are supplied by Mr. H. P. Hughes :
" Our first series of the new clip consisting of 6,659
bales Australian ; 17,689 bales Port Philip and Portland
Bay ; 2,757 bales Van Diemen's Land ; 97 bales South
Australian ; 62 bales New Zealand ; 6,494 bales Cape of
Good Hope ; 33,758 bales Colonial ; 3,308 bales East.
India ; 436 bales Odessa Merino, and Brook Washed ;
202 bales Spanish and Portugal ; 265 bales German ;
770 bales Buenos Ayres ' • 2,829 bales sundries ; 41,568
bales in all, commenced 19th ult., earlier than was at
first expected, and terminated, Skis day.
" The attendance of home buyers was very good, and
larger purchases made for continental account than in
February last, but until political affairs assume a more
steady aspect, we must not expect our continental neigh-
bours to operate freely.
" Our sales opened at February rates, which were
fully supported throughout, and closed with firmness.
With some few exceptions, where no doubt great efforts
had been made to Maintain a former character for con-
dition, the wool was not so well got up as in former
years, some few Sydney flocks were very moity and
burry ; still considering the many difficulties colonists
must have met with during the last clipping season, there
is no little credit dime for their exertions in being able to
push forward a fair proportion of their growth so early,
and, under trying circumstances, in such very creditable
condition. Owing to scarcity of labour in the colonies
a large proportion of wool has arrived in the grease.
Good flocks in pretty light condition sold at satisfactory
prices, Very little Van Diemen's Land or South
Australian arrived in time for these sales. Cape
Good Hope wool, of which a large proportion was
offered, with the exception of some low mixed parcels.
realized good prices. South American wool, of good
quality and not -very burry, sold well, while that in
burry and wasty con dition did not meet with so ready a
sale. East India wool was in very good demand, and
realized high prices, good qualities selling at ld. to 11d.
advance over last February sales."

By the Baltic, accounts three days later have
been received from New York. The Stock market
at the latest &Ate had assumed a more active ap-
pearance, the to udency in some of the "fancies" be-
ing upwards. l'he Columbia Bank at Washington,
had stopped. Cotton had risen per lb. In
freights for Livt rrpool more was doing, and they
were firmer. A large business was being done in
flour, and prices were higher.
At New York,, the Star of the West had arrived

from California with advises only one day later.
The Market gem 32-ally, for all kinds of goods was
declining, and 1 ►revisions were cheaper owing to
increased suppli( 3s. The stocks on hand, of most
articles were lig' ht, and business was carried on to
a very limited o: dent.

The Columa Miners' Advocate says :—" The
largest lump eve sr found in this state was taken out
of Dr. Carpente is claim, at the Columbia-house,
about five miles above this place, on Monday last.
It weighs over c ale hundred pounds, two-thirds of
which is suppose ato be quartz. We have not seen
it, but those wh o have are confident that at least
one third of it :is gold. The claim from which it
was taken, Dr. Cl. :informs us, is paying from twelve
to sixteen dollars a day to the hand. They are
supplied with -water by the Rock Creek Canal
Company."

Bills Of Exchange were taken yesterday after-
noon, at the pre vicrus rates, on Paris and Amster-
dam, but at a slight reduction on Hamburgh,
Frankfort, and 1: Trieste.

The Ronoural East India Company drew bills
during the forth ight ending last evening to the
amount of 52,7811 t.

The Board of ' tirade Returns for the month end-
ing the sth ult. show an increase in the exports
of 2,309,995/. ov •er the same date of 1852.
The speculatc ors in stocks are somewhat at fault
just now. Lat n yesterday afternoon intelligence
was received the ,t the French funds had fallen 1 to
2 per cent. T his proves to be incorrect, actually
because the low er price is in part attributable to
the deduction of • the dividend. On the other hand,
there are account sla town from St. Petersburg which
read very unfavc narably, and inspire apprehension
in many that the , Emperor of Russia will not yield.
Another alarmir g rumour is that the French army
is to be increase, 1 100,000 men. It may turn out
that this is mere ly an arrangement connected with
the raising of in n and the periodical retirement of
those who have ; 3erved their time. Money is very
easy, and this co un teracts the influence of the news
which, as above i err tarked, is only partially credited.
Consols have bee n 98# for account. The New 3
per Cents. have be !en 1011 to 102. The Reduced
3 per Cents. are a t 99f #. Bank Stock is firm at
229. Exchequer Bills are ss. to Bs. premium—
a rise of 3s. Tb is day the dissentient holders
are receiving back ; their money at par, and as the
total amount is tl tree millions, much interest is
felt to know what v Till be done with it.

In Foreign Stock s there is not much doing, if
we except Mexican , which are buoyant again at
28 to 1. Nothing ci '.efinite has yet transpired con-
cerning the report ed appointment of Messrs.
Baring Brothers as the agents. Grenada Bonds
have been at 221 iOr the Active, and at 10 to
* for the Deferrer 1. Brazilian 41 per Cents.

have been at 23k. The Swedish Loan is 1

941. Portuguese 4 per Cents. are steady at 40.
Dutch 4 per Cents. have realised 96, and Russian
per cents. are 104, being about the previous
rates.

The railway share' market has been rather inac-
tive, and prices have not varied to any extent for
the English lines. The French are rather lower.
Gold mines are generally very firm, aid with
more inclination to do business.
Joint Stock Bank: shares have been firm.
The Land Companies' shares have remained
steady, but with less doing.
