rIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Lilerpool this week has been
quit-ter, anti, as is remarked by a party writing from the
manufacturing districts, the recent large business ra
ther implies that spinners have endeavoured to lay in a
plentiful supply of stocks, and that they are better pro-
vided than usual. Specu'ators, in the meantime, have
been active, and the amount of bu->iness transacted, on
this account, is reported to be 139,900 hags !or the past
two months, as against 11,000 bags for the same period
in 1848; a tact, important only as far as it has tended
to artificially stimulate the prices of Yarn and goods,
and as exhibiting the confidence entertained by capi-
talists and jobbers in the prosp ets of the trade of these
districts. The advance upon the quotations of last
Month for fair Cotton is id. to id. per lb.
Railway Shares have been rather duller this week at
the outporte.
The Bank of England had not, up to the close of last
week, been enabled to extend its discount business, but
there was a continued reduction of private balances,
Which argues a better opening for the employment of
money by some of their depositors. The comparison
With the previous week presents the following results:—

The following very satisfactory report has been re-
ceived from Manchester, and is drawn up by Mr.
kandley:—
" The improved accounts from India have contributed
togive support to the tone of the market, and a very
fair amount of business has been done for that quarter.
The demand for Mexico and the west coast of South
America has been very satisfactory; for the latter ports
there has been a considerable increase, with some addi-
tional business for New Albion, or Alta California. The
trade for the Brazils has been comparatively languid, at
least as far as the market of Rio de Janeiro is concerned,
but more has been done for La Plata. The transactions
for the continent of' Europe (excepting the Italian ports),
together with the United States of America, China, and
the Levant, show a falling off, but it is expected that im-
proved demand for those important markets will before
long come in to swell the demand for our textile fabrics.
-As peace and order become re-established on the Conti-
nent, we may fairly expect a very considerable revival
of trade with those countries which have been accus-
totned to draw their supplies from this. The German
„b eelrs during the past week have been operating more
Iry, notwithstanding the advances. In the growing
demand for the Colonial and Foreign produce, and in
the steady revival of the business of these districts
there seems to be a very good prospect ahead, both for
itaporters and manufacturers; and if political affairs
abroad and at home are kept in repose, we may expect
a renewed career of manufacturing and commercial
Prosperity."
The accounts received from India have caused quite a
Sensation in the City, and produced an immediate effect
Upon the Funds, in conjunction with the intelligence from
Paris of a decline on the Bourse there, owing to the un
settled state of Italian affairs. Consols opened at 92 to
for Money, and 928 4 for Account, but have since ral-
lied to 91ii. There is not much doing generally, the tit -
eided impression on the market having been first produced
by the bold operation of une speculator, who having earl)
intimation of the intelligence sold 150,000/. at about 92.
The public have not yet acted, for indeed they can be
