MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUIIR7ER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed
with less animation, but prices were firm. the sale.-
wore estimated at fri,rn 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including
6,000 American at 3i.J. to 6id., 250 Pernams at sd. to
52d., 500 Egyptian at sid. to 6id., and 500 Surats at
34d. to 3id per lb.—ln Railway Shares only a limited
business was done, the market closed tamely, and prices
were a shade lower.

The Foreign Stock Markets are advised as having
been steady generally up t 3 the date of the accounts
received this morning.
The Colonial and Foreign Produce Markets in Mincing-
lane, have this week been extremely firm for all the
leading staples, and there is an excellent feeling gene-
rally. The value of Sugar is again higher, and in Cof
fee an extensive business has been done, chit fly in Cey-
lon. The satisfactory reports from the manufactu'ing
districts have likewise a good t ffect upo❑ Wool, Caton,
and Indigo.
Next week we shall have a further change in the
Sugar, and as the subject is of importance, it may be
useful to cell to mind wherein the altt mtion consists.

This is men ly an abstract, but serves to show the
essential feature, viz., that upon colonial sugars there
will be a reduction of duty ranging from Is. to Is. Bd.,
and upon fortign from Is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt., foreign
receiving the greatest benefit, in accordance with the
new arrangements and principles of free trade.
The Corn Market is very firm this morning, and with
rather limited supplies.
The Money Market continues easy, although the dis-
count brokers have had slightly increased facilities in
placing their assets. The close of the financial quarter,
and the improvement in some branches of trade, have
contributed to this, but there is no reason to suppose but
that cash will be offered as freely as ever when the divi-
dends come into play.
The Funds are rather flitter to-day, after having
1
opened well, and Consols from 92i have recedtd
to 91} 92. The bickering between the President
of France and his Ministry has had some
little influence, and the reaction atter a rise is also felt
upon a fuller supply of stock for immediate transfer, as
well as upon the realisation of apt culative profits. Be-
sides all this, there is much in the bold progress of the
Northern Powers towards reaction, to excite uneasiness.

MARKET NEWS -( THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
During the. present week the nrrivls of English
Wheat cOastwise for our tnarke.t have been confined to

1,240 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kwnt. Those by
land carriage and sample have been small in the extreme.
To-day, the stands were very scantily supplied, owing to
which, the demand fur all kinds of Wheat of home pro-
duce was firm, at prices fully t qual to those obtained on
Monday, and at which clearane,s e. ere t ffected at an early
hour. The imports of foreige Wheat have amounted to
5,260 quarters. Selected qualities motet d off rt adily, at ex-
treme rates of value. In the middling and inferior
kinds, a moderate business was transacted, at late rates.

Floating cargoes of Wheat and other grain were quite
as dear. No English Barley on sale. The supply (.f
Foreign was 5.940 quarters. Grinding qualities sold
freely, all other kinds slowly, at full prices. Alalt was
in good supply, and h. an, demand, at bikrvly lust week's
quotations. The best Feed Oats were in good request,
at extr. me currencies. Heated samples moved off
heavily. Flour steady, but not dearer. Indian Corn,
Bcans and Peas, as last advised.

The supply of Beasts in te-day's market was but mo-
derate as to number, yet its general quality was good.
As the attendance of buyers was slightly on the increase,
end the dead markets well cleared of their supplies, the
Beet trade was steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable
beyond, the improvement noticed in the prices on Mon-
day, and at which a clearance was efficted. The num-
bers of Sheep were again seasonably extensive.
Although the demand for that description of stock was
far frets active, last week's currencies were fairly sup•
ported. Prime Down Lambs moved off steadily, at full
prices; all other kinds were dull, but Lot lower. Calves
were in good supply and sluggish demand, at late rates.
In Pigs scarcely any business was transacted. Mulch
Cows met a dull inquiry, at from 131. to 181. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been
firm again, but6d advance being asked, business has been

they were last week. Barbadoes at auction brought
42s 6d for fine yellow, and 39s to 41s for mid to good.

Some mid white China sold at 40s 6d.

nah sold at 19s to 20s 6d or low to mid yellow, and at
21s to 22s for good and fine. Porto Rico about half
sold, ord to mid soft brown 39s to 40s, and low to fine
yellow 40s Gd to 42s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—A large business has been done in Ceylon,
and privately high rates have been paid. At auction
Native low ord brought 345, and real good ord 36s to
36s 6d. Mysore was taken in at full prices; ord 32s to

7.700 nags only partly sold at previous rates ; ord white
8s 6d to 9s, and mid and good 9s 6d to lOs 6d per cwt.
SALTPETRE.—The quantity sold has been small, and
there has been a decline of 6d per cwt.
INDIGO. —A fair business has b, en done.
COCHINEAL —The transactions are rather limited.

COTTON.—The demand increases, and prices tend up-
wards.
TALLOW.—P,Y.C. is steady but quiet at 38s to 38s 3d
per cwt. on the si ot.
TEA.—The market is quiet for green, but black has
had a lair sale.
CURRANTS.—There has been a slack demand for
Currants during the month. The trade having been
reluctant to purchase beyond their immediate wants. In
some eases holders have submitted to a slight decline in
price in Gulp!) Fruit. Fine Vostizzi Fruit, so long
wanted, and of which a supply has conic in this week, is
offered at 40s, but no progress has yet been made at that
price.
lisisms—There have been no arrivals since our last
report, and, with the exception of some bunch mus-
catels, no further supply is expected. Valentias con
tinue to be held firmly at 423, and within the lust few
days there has been more disposition to purchase.
Nearly all the stock ot Raisins in Englat.d may be
said to exist in this port, and se yen-eighths of it consist
of Valentias, all of good sound quality. Although
from causes connected, probably, with the general
backwardness of the season the demand has been slack,
and the clearances consequently light, there is little
doubt of the vvholg of the present stock being required
for the summer and autumn demand. The trade in ge-
neral are barely supplied.
Fics.—Our stock of Turkey Figs is quite exhausted
PRUNES.--The low prices of this article are causing a
steady consumption, which seems likely to continue
during the summer months, in the absence of the usual
supply of our own fruits.
GREEN FRUIT.—The market still continues depressed
for Oranges, but the low price assists the consumption,
and as the various parcels from Lisbon and Palermo
have been landed in bad condition, sales have been
pressed on the market. Lemons are in better demand,
but until the parcels that are out of condition are cleared
off no improvement can be expected. A parcel of West
India Pine Apples, ex Severn steamer, have been sold
by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, and realised good
prices. Some cargoes by sailing vessels are daily expected.
Nuts are dull of sale, without al.eralion in prices.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)

Chief Justice WILDE stud a Special Jury.)

IRELAND.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT.
DUBLIN, THURSDAY EYENING.—The rumour of her
Majesty's visit to Ireland early in the month of August
has assumed a substantial form, and it is now almost
certain that the auspicious event will take place at the
time specified. Intelligence to this effect reached Dub-
lin this morning, and there is no reason to doubt its
authenticity. Her Majesty's stay in the Irish metropolis
will be limited to tour days.

STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND
HAVRE.—We learn from Mr. 11/I•lver that he and his
irierids intend putting on some first class steamers be-
tween this port and Havre early next spring (when tht
Act for repeuling the navigation-laws will tak•e eff.ct),
tor the purpose of bringing over French goods fur trans-
shipment to the Unitid Stares, &c., so (Tenting up to
the British and North American Royal Mail steamers a
traffic from which they have hitherso been excluded.We are very glad to hear of this, being satisfitri that in
such hands the work wra be will done. The Glasgow
steam-ships have ever been a credit to the town; and,
H
of course, Mr. M'lver sees well enough that any value
to arise from the Havre trade, in connexion with the
American, can only. be
.secured. by the same regularity
and speed. One thing is certain—the port of Liverpool
mn-t always be a gainer by such enterprises.—Liverpool
