MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was an active demand for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, the sales bring 10,000 bales, of which 5,00 e
wc-ro taken by speculators. Compered with Friday':
rates, prices are in favour of the sellers, American sort;
being id, per lb. higher. The sales comprised 6,000
American, 2,000 Brazil, at 64d. to 6d.; 200 Egyptian.
at to 9d.; 1,500 Surat, at 41d. to 41-d.; and 160 Sea
Island at 1 Lid. to Is. Id. per lb.—Rellway Shares were
dull.

It has been dteided that the Colonial prcduce markets
shall he re-opened next Wednesday instead of Tuesday,
as originally intended.
The particulars with regard to the Mexican Debcwhicla
will be found elsewhere, bear us out ia what we stated at the
time of Mr. Robertson's meeting, and it would have been
better proof of the activity of the committee if, in a
matter of such interest to the bondholders, they had
sent cut even a summary of the information on Monday
afternoon, within an hour or two after the letters reached
town, and which they might easily have done.
At any rate, however, there can be no reasonable
justification for delaying to forward the informa-
tion until long after five o'clock last evening. It
is unbusiness-like proceedings of this class that give a
handle to many to complain of the constitution as
KCII as of the inertness of the committee, The sum stated
by Colonel Facio, the agent for Mexico, to be now in
the Bank of EnWand available for a dividend is 319,993
dolia,s, and this is besides the amount which Messrs.
Schneider hold for the liquidation of the balance of the
last dividend.

It is reported from most of the Continental stock and
produce markets that business was quite inert owing to
the holidays.
The order issued by Mr. Tidd Pratt to the trustees of
sayings banks, requiring depositors to send in their
books for examination, is judicious, though it may seem
almost like " shutting the stable after the horse is stolen."
The strong feeling in the City is that the trustees of
the Wchdale Bank are bound morally, as they should
be legally, to refund to the depositors every penny
purloined by Mr. Haworth, and wen of
business will not for a moment hear of the

exeu-e, that such daring and protracted frauds
were difficult of detection. Every one feels, on the
contrary, that an cxernina'ion weekiy of the office books
must have brought the deficiencies to light, and that ti).
great aim with Government—it the whole savings' barks
system be not revised, which for rrany reasons we could
show to be necessary—should be to provide for the liabi-
lity of trustee s. As to expecting the simple and inex-
perienced depositors to investigate the position of every
hank, it is purely ridiculous.
The English Funds are fletter, and there has been some
supply of stock. This is in the absence of nny particular
cause, and the decline is partly fostered by a temporary
demand for money in the Stock Exchange. Consols
have been 96k to 9 for account, and are now 96k tot
the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents 97-R and the
Three per Cents. 96k to 4. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has Lean firm at 595. to 6ls. East India Bonds
are marked 88s. _ _

In the Foreign Market there ij very little doing, ex -
crpt the carrying over of Mexican bonds to the next
account. The confidence felt in the future induces many
to do this, but tlire are also strong parties who will
make payment at once, and take the stock out of the
maiket. The prices have improved to 29i 4. Peruvian
Bonds have been steady at 54i-. Brazilian Small have
realised 88. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 19, the
Three per Cents. 38-4 4, and Portuguese Four per
Cents. about 36 to 37. Dutch Bonds have not been
dealt in.
Railway Shares have been heavy again, the North-
Western being conspicuous in this reqect, at:d still en
account of the rumours about the dividend. Caledonian
also are flatter. Midland have declined to 454, South.
Wes•ern are now quoted as 1001. stock, and are at 61
BtAilogne and Amiens are steady.
