MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a vary snti‘e demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, and prices were a shade higher. The
sales were estimated at 14,000 bales, 5,000 of which
were Liven fk,r export and sly eulation.—Railway Shares
were quiet, but prices were firm.
The letters and p pers by the Niagara steamer, have
been delivered to-day, and and a few items of news to
what has already been published. The demand for ster-
ling bills of exchange was moderate, and the rates were
a little lower than by the previous packet. Ile am ,unt
of United Srates' sock issued to f,reigners, for the week
ending the 20th ult., v, as 179,000 dollars.

The value of the merch•Aidise imported ,nto tha Nen
York district, except that sent to the warehouse, and the
amount of duties received during the week ending the
19th ult., was as loilow:

1847. 1848. 1849.
TotalmerchandiEe 1,497,876 1 884,119 2,248,425
Specie 9,999 23,130 17,899

Cash received 362,460 462,810 521,169
The importers were filling up their stocks for the far
trade, and the bulk of the importation was therefore
entered for consumption. Whether the said fall
trade will take off the very ample supplies
trom Euro; e, remains to be seen. From what
we glean the railway companies of the States have
in many instat.ces been as badly manag•-d as the local
banks, or perhaps a more fitting comparison would be,
with some of our own undertakings; nor shall we be
surprised to hear very shortly of committees of investi-
gation being popular on the other site of the Atlanlic.
Messrs. Ross and Charlton, of Quebec, write concern-
ing trading matters, that—
" As our produce trade in the west is gradaally in-
creasing in magnitude and importance, we have deter-
mined on issuing our circular weekly during the business
season, for the information of our friends in Upper
Canada and the United States, as well as to send by the
English mail on each Saturday. This must eventually
become the shipping port for the greater portion of the
produce of the country bordering on the lakes, and we
have to notice daily with pleasure the arrival of sailing
and steam-vessels, with full cargoes, direct from ports on
the lakes, and most of all which, we are happy to say,
have got remunerating freights upwards."
Government has reduced the toll on Wheat passing
through the Chambly Canal, Indian Corn, Barley, Rye,
Oats, Potatoes, Beans, Seeds and vegetables of all kinds,
trom one halfpenny and a farthing per bushel to one-
eighth of a penny.
Accounts of July:s, from Venezuela, state that it is re-
ported that General Peez had agai❑ disembarked at
Coro, for the purpose of meeting President Monagas.
Dates from Hayti, of July 2,atfirm that the monopoly
law having been re-established caused much dis-
satisfaction, and a new revolution was expected. The
weather was excessively dry, and had done much harm
to the crops.
In Ecuador provisions were very scarce. Lima dates
are to the 12th May. Very stormy discussions were
expected in the Senate, owing to the determined oppo-
sition existing to the administration of General Castillo,
whose Ministers are accused of tyranny because they had
exiled many ranks of note who were considered to be
implicated in a conspiracy. Bolivia was unsettled,
General Belzu's pronunciumento against Velasco having
caused excitement, especially as the latter was supported
by Ballivian.

- The Continental advices advise steady markets gene.
rally for public securities. At Hamburgh on the 3d
instant there was a decline of in the rate of exchange
on England, viz. to 13 9. The Funds were quiet. At
Amsterdam the Three and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted
52i 9-16 in the subscription rooms on Sunday. The
tendency was more favourable for Spanish Bonds. The
cholera continued bad in various parts of Holland. At
St. Petersburgh, on the 27th ult., the general export
trade was brisker, and higher rates were paid for some
articles. Freights, which had been very low, were im•
proving.

The general aspect of the Stock Market here is still
exceediugly passive, there being, in fact, very few parties
here to deal. The French loan also will have some in-
fluence, but it is sincerely to be hoped that it will not
be taken here, although we fear, from the abundance of
money, that efforts will be made to push some of it upon
the Brizi,h public. Consols have realised V2i 4, but are
now rather buyers at the latter quotation. The
New Three-and-a garter per Cents. have been 93i to 4.
Exchequer bills have been 48 to 51, and India Bonds
81 to 84 premium.

The foreign market is steady, the chief transactions
being in Spanish Five per Cents., at 18i to 19f
Brazilian old bonds have realized 851. Mexican Stock
has been 27 to 27*, and Venezuela 26. Dutch Two and-
a-flalf per Cents. have been marked 521 to I.
Railway Shares are very heavy again, and nearly all
lower, chiefly from want of business. East ludian have
risen.
