MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was very flat yester
day; prices, however, were without a!teration. The
sales were estimated at from 3,500 to 4,000 bales, 1,000
of which were taken for export and on speculation.
Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward
tendency.
In the corn market to-day the arrivals are but limited,
and comprise 8,210 quarters of wheat and 10,470 of
oats.

The businns done in the colonial produce mar-
kets this week has been rather smaller, and
the arrivals are large from most quarters, but holders,
ender circumstances, have been firm. This
is especially the case with Ceylon coffee,
Which has been higher this week, the ac-
counts from Colombo being favourable to a rise. The
Wool sales have been progressing well again, but neither
this article nor Cotton are quite so active as last week.
This is natural after the extensive purchases recently
Made. Indigo remains about the same as at the auctions.
From Amsterdam we are advised that there was on
Wednesday very little alteration in the value of the
Dutch Funds, although the Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
Were rather animated. Spanish was offered at lower
rates. Austrian and French Stocks were at about
previous values, and Mexican and Peruvian better. At
Frankfort on the 24th instant. Austrian Five per
Cents, were quoted 77, and at Berlin on the 24th inst.
the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. bonds were 83.
A statement of the commerce of Belgium with fo-
reign countries during the six months ending the 30th
June gives the quantity of wheat at 41,296,938 killo-
grammes ; the number of pigs 51,124, sheep 8,882,
calves 6,201, cows 3,402, and oxen 616. The quantity
of flour was 1,508,423 killogrammes, and of potatoes
6,841,030 killogrammes.
The view taken of foreign political affairs varies but
little to what has prevailed for some days past. It is
thought still that the Sardinian question will be amicably
arranged, but in these cases there are frequently narrow
prejudices that may tell well in connexion with money
matters, but are neither philanthropic nor patriotic.
Thus your speculator for the rise would care not
a jot whether a country were sacrificed, pro-
vided peace were restored, and this is pretty
much the case both in regard to Italy and
Hungary. Happily the private views of interested
parties do not go for much, and usually find a counter-
balance in those of antagonist operators. Thus the
Bears exult in every Hungarian victory as much as the
Bulls despair. The abundance of money is now in
favour of every security that is of a valid character,
and pre-eminently of Consols and Shares. One or two
Foreign stocks may be worthy of attention also; but
Without specifying them, we may observe that great dis-
crimination is advisable in touching them. Consols are
93 to for Transfer, and 93 to 4 for Time. Exchequer-
bills have been 475. to 50s. premium. India Stock is at
250 to 251. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 94 to 94.
The Foreign S. curities have been very inactive.
Spanish Three per Cents. are 344, Portuguese Four per
Cents. 30i, Mexican 264 to to 27, Brazilian Small 83k,
and Dutch Four per Cents. 801 to 81.
In Railway Shares there is scarcely anything doing.
Caledonian are flatter; and also North Stafford, Great I
Northern, Brighton, and most others. York and North
Midland are better. There have been several bargains
in Joint Stock Bank Shares.

CORN-EXCHANGE—(FRIDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coast-
Ws°, during the present week, have amounted
to 1,290 quarters. To day, the show of samples of both
red and
White was moderate. The supply left over from Mon.
day Was cleared off at is per quarter under the prices
current on Friday last. The fresh arrivals met a dull
it'clu'ry at that amount of depression, and at which the
rn'rket Closed heavily. The imports of For.ign Wheat
mello6 Rum Anted to 8,210 quarters. Fine dry qua:ities
mostly held at full rates of currency. Th-
44iddling and inferior kinds ruled heavy, at, in
I'4' at instances, is per quarter less money.
With Barley we 'were but scantily supplied. Most kinJ,

Statestate last week's currency. The supply amounted to
" illtirters. For Oats there was an improved de-
