ONF4Y and COMIITERCIAL NEWS.

Cli Y, QUARI ER TU
Tile sales of Cotton at Liverpool amounted to from
4,000 to 5,000 bales; 4,000 American realised 3id. to
612 d., 40 Bahia 4id„ and 200 Surat 3d. to 341 per lb.
The market closed heavily.—Railway Shares were quite
inactive, and prices were lower again.
In Mark-lane to-day a moderate business was trans-
acted, as regards most articles of grain, and last week's
prices have been well supported.
Upon the subject of the Iron trade we have the fol-
lowing in Aris's Birmingham Gazette of to-day:—
"It is always much easier to induce a downward
than an upward tendency, and this, together with the
hesitation iu giving orders manifested by a large Lon-
don house, whose opinions, from the extensive nature of

its operations, 'g;nerally influence the movements
of our leading firms here, induced us to offer
a guarded report of the late quarterly meetings,
and the then prospects of the trade. Events have
fully justified that caution. It is notorious that, even by
first-rate makers, Iron has been sold throughout the
quarter at less than the nominal rates latterly; as much
as 20s. under, particularly in Liverpool and London,
where the Welsh Iron greatly interferes with the Staf-
fordshire market; while those who, from principle, or
from other motives, refuse to concede, have been left in-
active. Indeed, much doubt has been expressed whether
in any single instance Bar Iron has bond fide realised 71.
10s. Sales of Pigs have also been reported from
a Staffordshire maker under 31. per ton, though
not extensive; nor does the disposition to sell appear so
marked as among manufacturers. Several furnaces have
been put out of blast, and the make of others consider-
ably reduced, to avoid as much as possible the accumu-
lation of stocks. That the workmen will quietly accede
to the proposed reduction in their wages seems to be
unquestioned. The advance was altogether as unex-
pected by them as it was thankfully received; and under
the present cheapness of all the necessaries of life, they
will easily accommodate themselves to their former earn-
ings without inflicting any distress upon their families."
The continental advices are not of political import-
ance to-day, but the letters received by firms in the City
are not generally written in more confident or satisfac-

tory terms than those already to hand, if we except
perhaps those from Paris. There, great expectations
aro formed of the power and ability of the new Assem-
bly to give a better tone to public feeling, and to allay
the mistrust that was arising from the presumed hostile
intentions of the Socialists on the one hand, and the re-
actionary views of the Ministry on the other.
The Hamburgh, accounts of Friday last advise us of
continued negotiations for peace, but at the same time
notice the more rigorous enforcement of the blockade.
There were three Danish frigates off the mouth of the
Elbe, and English, American, and other ships had been
alike prevented from leaving. A Spanish vessel was
chased and captured. Whether the Germans will
attempt any naval exploit remains to be proved, but
two war steamers, the Lubeck and Hamburgh, had gone
to sea from Cuxhaven.
Business at the Baltic ports was exceedingly dull, whe-
ther in grain or other articles. At Odessa the stock of
Wheat was nearly 100,000 quarters, although no fresh
supplies had been received.
St. Petersburgh letters of the 18th instant, state that
for many principal articles the markets were materially
better, and that there had been increased dealings.
The great work of drying the Harlem Lake is fast
drawing to a close, according to the Dutch papers. Al-
ready the water is reduced to one metre below the level
of Amsterdam.
The intelligence from the United States and Canada
advises no particular alteration in mercantile affairs.
The rate of exchange on London continued at 1084 to,
being steady. Freights were without change, but
trade was exhibiting marked signs of improvement ;
and was expected to be considerably better. Money was
p:entiful, and had-been exceedingly easy since the pre-
vious steamer left. Cotton was dull, and provisions ge-
nerally were cheaper. The excitement in Canada con-
tinued to interfere with business, but no further acts of
violence are reported.
There is scarcely any business doing in the English
securities, and the market has varied but little, Consols
being 91* to 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 90! 4, and the Three per Cents. 89i
to 90. Bank Stock is worth 1931. Exchequer-bills
have been 45s to 48s ; and India Bonds, 69s to 71s
premium.
In the foreign market there is no buoyancy, but the
dealings are very restricted. Mexican have been lower
again, viz. 294 to 30 with, and 274 to 28 without the
Coupons. Portuguese Fuur per Cents. have been 27;
Chili= Bonds are 914. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents, have been 49 to i. Spanish Three per Cents. are
nominally 32k to i; and Brazilian old Five per Cents.
77 to 79.

Railway Shares are flat again, and the English lines
are in some cases rather lower. The French are sup-
ported.
