MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday; the sales were estimated at about 8,000 bales,
of which 2,000 were taken on speculation. The tran-
sactions comprised 5,500 American at 4d. to 64d.; 800
I'ernam, &e., at s*d. to sicl.• 100 Egyptian, at 6d. to
71c1-; 300 Surat, at 34d. to 4fd., and 150 Sea Island,
at 10d. to ls. 2*d. per pound. The market closed very
firm.
There were over 500 quarters'of new wheat on sale in
Mark-lane to-day, and being of good dry quality,
realised 50s. to 525. per quarter.
The letters and papers, per Overland Mail, seem to be
favourable in respect to commercial matters. At Cal-
cutta, which is by far the most important market, the
temporary dulness in British imports had passed away,
and there.was a very fair share of activity with respect
to indigo ; the accounts are, as usual, somewhat conflict-
ing- The Money Market was easy. At Canton busi-
ness in imports was dull, but the supply of goods
being moderate, an improvement was to be expected,
while the caution exhibited had imposed some check
upon the value of produce which, during the last year
or two, has been held far too high in proportion to the
rates obtainable in the English market.
The Singapore accounts state that there
had been numerous arrivals of shipping from
England during the few preceding days, and
that importers met freely the demand for
British goods. A large business was done, but at
rather lower prices. The arrival of so many vessels
Within a few days had checked the upward tendency of
prices, but the market was healthy. Produce was de-
clining, with one or two exceptions, and shipments to
to some extent were making to England. The exchange
bad slightly improved, six months paper being 4s. 4d.
At Manilla, on the 20th of June, advanced prices
were obtained for certain descriptions of cotton goods,
including shirtings, but generally sales were making at
rather less than cost prices. Sugar was still
rising, and hemp was higher than for many years, with a
prospect of being maintained. Baring's draft on London
had been negotiated at 4s. 3d. On China there were no
purchasers. It was seldom that so many vessels were
loading for England at one time.
In the Batavia market up to the 31st June sugar
found very free buyers. Dutch grey cottons were in
demand and scarce. The expedition to Bali had re-
sulted in the nominal subjection of the district, but the
Commander of the expedition, Major- General Michiels,
had been wounded by a stray shot, and died after the
amputation of his leg.
The Borneo accounts are to about the midde of June.
The pirates were still rather troublesome. The exports
of coal from Sarawak were increasing. Labuan was
healthy, and the drainage of the lower parts was ex-
pected soon to be completed. Several Chinese were es-
tablishing stores, and everything was progressing fa-
vourably. The arrival of native prahus was greatly on
the increase. Sulu chiefs appeared eager to renew and
strergthen friendly relations with Sir James Brooke.
The Hamburgh mail brings dates of Friday. Ships
were arriving from all parts of the world, and trade was
expected to be active. The exchange on London conti-
nued at 13 9i. The harvest was rather more variable
than usual in different parts of Germany, but on the
Whole not unfavourable, as far as can yet be ascertained.
The stock markets abroad, with the exception of
Paris, were rather weaker at the date of the advice* re-
ceived this morning. At Amsterdam the Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were 52k.
The letters per Europa steamer will not be delivered
Until to-morrow.
Consols opened firmly, but there has been a very dull
market. The rate for Transfer has varied from 92j to j,
and for Account from 924 to 93. The foreign intelli-
gence is not of a nature to influence prices. For the
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. the rates have
been 934 Exchequer-bills have receded a little, having
ranged trom 445. to 48s. premium, and India Bonds were
745. to 755. premium.
In the Foreign Market the principal business has been
ro 2 Irish American Bonds. Mexican have improved
to 83? and 29*, and Peruvian have alternated from 52

Chilian Bonds have been 94. Buenos Ayres,

the ThrPeanish Five per Cents. have been 184 to 19, and

The meeting of the South-Western Railway share-
holders completes the halt-yearly series of the great com-
panies; for the position of the Eastern Counties line is
,3oro well understood to excite the expectation
union any important revelations at the next re-
lit ln the meantime the proceedings
„ the South-Western meeting have improved
we value of the shares, the statements made being of a
nature to inspire hopes of the future. Indeed we may
say that the market fur railway shares generally has a
better tone, although the dealings are comparatively re-
stricted owing to the few persons in town.
