MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY QUARTER TO THREE.
_ _ ,

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat again,
and the decline on American, comp..red with Friday last, is
d. per lb. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of which 2,500 were
American, at 61/2d. to 71Ad. per lb.; Surat was at 4d. to
4J/0. per lb.; and Bahia at 7' Ad. to 71/d. Railway Shares
were firm, but with very little doing.
Accounts of February 13 from Melbourne, Port Phillip,
state that the whole district was suffering from the scarcity
of labourers, and that as there was a surplus from the land
fund, and the squatter's tax, it was hoped that the whole
amount would be appropriated to the promotion of immigra-
tion into Port Phillip exclusively, leaving the other settle-
ments to procure labour from their own resources and
revenue.

The news received from the West Indies, and given in
another column, our own accounts not having reached as yet,
are satisfactory, as respects the various islands, but from
Mexico we are still without any news of a conclusive nature,
and the war promises to become now of a predatory cha-
racter before it concludes.

The Public Securities were rather tending upwards early in
the day, but have since declined. Consols have realiied 88
to 'A for present transfer, and 8814 to for account. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 44,
and the Three per Cents. 867,13 to 87. Bank Stock is quoted
1941,4 to 196. Exchequer-bills have been marked 3s. to 6s.
premium.
The Foreign Securities have been steady, but with very
limited transactions. The news received by telegraph of
the capture of Das Antas has made Portuguese Stock rather
better, viz., 30 to 3014. Brazilian Five per Cents. have been
at 831,x. Mexican Stock is worth 20%.
In Railway Shares the bib.i,:ess done has been moderate.
The recommendetion of the Parliamentary Committee to
allow the companies prosecuting Bills this session to suspend
their works if they so think fit, seems generally to be ap-
proved, and it is hoped that but few companies will neglect to
avail themselves thereof.
