MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THESE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
exceedingly dull, and prices of all kinds were f ;. pt r lb.
',Aver. Very little business was done, the sales not
exceeding 1,200 bales all to -the trade.—The Share
Market opened firmly, hut closed rather heavily, without
material alteration in prices.
In the general mercalatile markets there is not any
particular change, but as Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewes-
bury very fairly remark iu their monthly review of the
dealings in produce, it is not to be expected that,
with money at such a low rate, things will remain inac-
tive, and therefore imports are not inclined to press
sales. Stocks are generally lower than at this time last
year, and the deliveries for home consumption continue
upon the same increased scale as for some months past.
There has been a fair demand during the last week or
two for dyes and dyeing materials, and although the
imports have been considerable, the large deliveries both
for export and home consumption prevent any material
increese in stock, and prices have an upward tendency.
The advices from the Continent are not of prominent
interest. A meeting had been held at Brussels of the
Bank of Belgium shareholders, upon the subjset of the
late frauds by one of the officials, but the matter stands
over for the present, as it will come under judicial cog-
nizance.
There is a hope, it seems, of the Sambre and
Meuse Railway proprietors having their very hard
case met with something more like liberality by the
Belgian G overnment, but we confess we do not
expect much, and what comes will chiefly emanate from
self-interest. Foreign Governments, as well as Boards
of Direction, may be certain that if they desire tha
co-operation of John Bull in their industrial under-
takings, they must exhibit not only fairness but genero-
sity, for nothing more disgusts an Englishman than a
peddling chandler's shop policy. In money matters,
whatever may be said of our " perfidiousness.' in
State affairs, wo are essentially wedded to the
grand, or grossartig, as the Germans more
expressively term it. We are glad in this
sense to observe a move in the right direction as
regards the Dutch Rhenish Railway Company, for the
directors at Amsterdam, finding they cannot get the
calls paid here, have decided to admit an English pro-
prietor to the board. If they do not gain the entire end,
they will, doubtless, enlist greater interest in the concern
by this judicious course.
The following is from Carthagena, New Grenada,
dated Oct. 12:—
Business is slowly reviving from the apathy which
the dreadful ravages of the cholera in this province has
created. It made its first appearance about the last of
May, and remained until the latter part of August,
during which time, out of a population of 11,000 in this
province (exclusive of the city of Carthagena), 2,400 tell
victims. It raged with equal violence in the interior,
and on the Magdalena river, where about 1,900 died in
two months.
At Santa Martha and Barranguilla, where the mor-
tality was excessive, a few cases were still reported.
The strong N.E. trade winds were anxiously
looked for, to drive away the seeds of this most
fearful scourge. But it was on the Magdalena where
its mortality appears to have been the greatest—en-
tirely depopulating villages, and leaving no sign or
vestige of anything human within its precincts,
In Bogo:a, it has not yet made its appearance, and the
most frightful alarm was felt, on account of its near ap-
proach. On the 19th of September, business was entirely
suspended, politics unheeded or forgotten, and every
precaution taken to mollify and alleviate the sufferings
which they were hourly awaiting. Many think it will
entirely devastate the city, as the mass of the inhabi-
tants are very filthy in their habits, (that is the lower
classes), and poorly prepared with medical advice. The
last reason may be assigned as the cause of the great
mortality that ensued throughout all New Granada.
The Banking Almanach, Directory, Year-Book, and
Diary for 1850 is most valuable to the class for whose
use it is specially designed. It gives a complete hum-
mary of the note circulation returns, Bank of England
Statistics, analysis of the Acts of Parliament of last
session, legal decisions, and other interesting and useful
information, which many are glad to obtain in a collected
. form

It is worthy of remark, that while some of our rail-
way companies are doing so b..dly, many of the canals
continue to prosper. The Grand Junction proprietors
received a favourable report yesterday, and appear to be
profiting greatly by a new branch of traffic, which
*Lust tend greatly to the public advantage as well, viz.,
the introduction of inland coal into the London
market.
There has been a very firm mrirket for Public Securi-
ties, although the tran,actions are not large. Consols
have been quoted 951 to 95i for Transfer, and 95i to 96
for Account, and are now 95i to 96. The new Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 95f to 95/, and
the Three per Cents. Q-111 t. East India Stock has been
marked 261 to 264. Exchequer bills have touched 475.
and 50s. premium. The firmness of the Paris Bourse has
a good effect.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are again very
firm. 'rho Five per Cents. have touched 181 and 19,
and the Three per Cents. 381 Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been 37 to 37i-, and Brazilian 871 to 88.
Mexican have reached 28f to 4, Grenada are 16f' and
Equudor 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 55i.
Shares have all given way, but they are at present
not quite so flat at the opening of the market. There
are unfavourable rumours about the North-Western
line, which is said not to have earned six per cent. The
appointment of Mr. G. E. Coleman, the eminent
accountant, to assist the auditors, gives great satisfaction.
