MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,
The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been
quieter, and, as is rem irked by a party writing from the
manufacturing districts, the recent large business ra-
ther implies that spinners have endeavoured to lay in a
plentiful supply of stocks, and that they are better pro-
vided than usual. Speculators, in the meantime, have
been active, and the amount of business transacted, on
this account, is reported to be 139,900 bags for the past
two months, as against 11,000 bags for the same period
in 1843; a tact, important only as far as it has tended
to artificially stimulate the prices of Yarn and goods,
and as exhibiting the confidence entertained by capi-
talists and jobbers in the prospf cts of the trade of these
districts. The advance upon the quotations of last
month for fair Cotton is id. to id. per lb.
Railway Shares have been rather duller this week at
the outports.
The Bank of England had not, up to the close of last
week, been enabled to extend its discount business, but
there was a continued reduction of private balances,
which argues a better opening for the employment of
money by some of their depositors. The comparison
with the previous week presents the following results:—

The following very satisfactory report has been re-
ceived from Manchester, and is drawn up by Mr.
Mandley:—
" The improved accounts from India have contributed
to give support to the tone of the market, and a very
fair amount of business has been done for that quarter.
The demand for Mexico and the west coast of South
America has been very satisfactory; for the latter ports
there has been a considerable increase, with some addi-
tional business for New Albion, or Alta California. The
trade for the Brazils has been comparatively languid, at
least as far as the market of Rio de Janeiro is concerned,
but more has been done for La Plata. The transactions
for the continent of Europe (excepting the Italian ports),
together with the United States of America, China, and
the Levant, show a falling off, but it is expected that im-
proved demand for those important markets will before
long come in to swell the demand for our textile fabrics.
As peace and order become re-established on the Conti-
nent, we may fairly expect a very considerable revival
of trade with those countries which have been accus-
tomed to draw their supplies from this. The German
bu)ers during the past week have been operating more
freely, notwithstanding the advances. In the growing
demand for the Colonial and Foreign produce, and in
the steady revival of the business of these districts
there seems to be a very good prospect ahead, both for
importers and manufacturers; and if political affairs
abroad and at home are kept in repose, we may expect
a renewed career of manufacturing and commercial
prosperity."
The accounts received from India have caused quite a
sensation in the City, and produced an immediate effect
upon the Funds, in conjunction with the intelligence from
Paris of a decline on the Bourse there, owing to the tin.
settled state of Italian affairs. Consols opened at 92 to
i for Money, and 924 I for Account, but have since ral-
lied to 911 i. There is not much doing generally, the de-
cided impression on the market having been first produced
by the bold operation of one speculator, who having early
intimation of the intelligence sold 150,0001. at about 92.
The public have not yet acted, for indeed they can be
scarcely cognizant of the Indian news, and may not
consider that it should affect Console. Bank Stock is
quiet at 194. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 934 and 92k. Exchequer-bills are 39s to
425. premium.
The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Five per
Cents have not been higher than 1741 I. The Three per
Cents. are 29 to Mexican Bonds have been 264, and
Peruvian, 50 arid 49i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 49 to
The Railway Share market has been rather weaker,
and sympathises so far with the English Funds. The
alterations are chiefly in the old lines. Tho French
Shares are rather cheaper to buy.
