MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday con •
untied good, and the market closed firmly at the full
4(1 'ranee obtained on Wednesday. The sales, inc!uding
4,000 on speculation and 1,000 for export, were esti-
tatted above 10,000 bales, viz.: 8.000 American, at 31d.
to Gii.; 1,200 remain, &c., at 441. to 50.; 200 BAsia,
at 41d. to 50.; 200 Egyptian, at 5:41d. to 6d.; 500 Surat,
at 3d. to 3id.; and 40 Sea Island, at 9d. to Is. ld. per
lbe--In Railway Shares only a small business was done;
Prices, however, were well supported.
The Corn Market is extremely dull today.
The Hamburgh mail arrived today bring advices of
Tuesday. The blockade was even more rigorous than
before, and the Danes intended to station several gun-
boats on the Watt grounds, in order to prevent the
smaller craft from breaking through, which they were
able to do, in defiance of the large vessels of war. The
craft from the north coasts of Holland, the Ems, &c.,
*ill thus be intercepted. In the meantime, the
Germans are not idle. Their three war steamers were
manned and had left port, having indeed, acccrding to
one statement, already had a "brush" with the Danes,
Which, although without result, is stated to have called
forth eulogistic notice from the German commander in
reference to the skill and coolness of the sailors.
The rate of exchange at Hamburgh was rather lower
(incl London, being 138.94 d. Money was easy. The
I,(Miaberg merchants were shipping goods by way of
Memel. At Frankfort on the sth inst., Austrisn Stock

was no animation in ss.

the rise.in the exchanges, the sellers of colonial produce

frontier, of Vienna, and Rome, imposed great obstacles

to
notice a slight improvement in metals, for
We are advised by a leading broker, Hr. William Short,
that although "the Welch bar iron market continues
withlittle business, Staffordshire hoops, sheets, and
it rods have been in demand to a moderate extent for
India. Scotch pigs declined to 41s. 6d. to 425. per ton
or mixed numbers, ordinary brands ; but a slight re
tenon has occurred within the last day or two, and the
Prices are 425. 6.1. to 435. mixed Nos. ordinary brands,
and 458. all No. 1 Gartsherrie.' Swedes iron is

sheathing, and 91. per tun on cake and tile. Tin,
Ruglish,lias just been reduced 4s. per cwt. Tin plates
,are obtainable at 27a. per box, I. C. Coke, and 32e. per

Pool. Lead is in moderate demand at quotations.
bPelter is flat, and the price cannot fairly be quoted be-
yond 151., although sales were made within the last few
days at 15L ss. The stock in London on the Ist was
4.300 tons, against 3,500 tons at the same period last
Year. Quicksilver is 38. 2d. per lb. for ordinary
quantities.-
There has been a heavy market for Public Securities,
the result principally of the determination of the French
Government
,to pursue its policy with respect to Rome.
The President's Message has necessarily engrossed much
Otention, and the exposé of the state of the finances is
not deemed very encouraging. Bank Stock has been at
