The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales ; the market was dull, but
steady, at previous rates. The sales comprised
4,000 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham at
60. to sp., 200 Egyptian at Wad. to 10d., and
500 Surat at 30. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares
were rather firmer.

The following is an abridgment of an elaborate
table, compiled by Mr. M. Slaughter, of the ex-
treme prices of Railway Shares last year :
