MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool!yesterday were 6,000 to
7,000 bales, including 1,000 American fur export. The
market closed very heavily, and the improvement of 4d.
per lb, on American was entirely lost, although Surat and
Maceio were %d. dearer. Other sorts much the same. In
the sales were comprised 3,000 bales American, at 6d. to
7%d.; 2,000 Bahia at 7%d. to 7%d.; and 600 Surat, at 4d.
to 434 d. per lb. Shares suffered a considerable decline, and
closed heavily, although a fair business was done.
There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter, and
we may usefully embrace the opportunity to revert to local
matters. We stated yesterday that the advices from the ma-
nufacturing districts were of a more encouraging nature.
Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor state, in their report from Man-
chester, that " The recent change in the weather, and the
rapid progress of vegetation in this country, combined with
the highly favourable reports of the prospects of the con-
tinental harvests, have given an improved tone to
this market within the past ten days. The inter-
vention of the Whitsuntide holidays prevented busi-
ness operations during the past week; but to-day
there has been a marked activity, and siellers have In
Many InitanFerseStaNiallid an lvance ; the greater ease in
the money market, and the declining value of breadstuffs,
are a gratifying change in the right direction, and if the
iipland;tl harze.tt prospects continue, wetay eKpeet speedy
revival in the home and colonial•deinfind for our reanufaF- e
tures' and consequently an up7ord Move ent 14 prices, in
aid of which latter the rates) of cotton Which .aro steadily
progressing), and the liMitation of PrOduc on which still con
tinues, willl be fotind' operating. Our impression is, that
the present is a favourable time for investie, paths
end goods, 44 j
since env i'teipi-ta in the value appears
NlP9Oble un4611. Pie CFPumstahces the short
glippiji. Of raw material, whereas, if money be-
come cheaper, and the cost of food be materially reduced,
which anoears highly nrobable, capital is very likely to be
attracted to opt Matidafitures (the produption of which will
be limited by the deficient supply of co top) as a lucrative
speculation. Great interests are at stake upon the issue of
the next six weeks or two months. the weather pontinue
auspicious, we have little doubt that the autumn trade will
be in the highest degree satisfactory."
Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury describe the imports of
produce into London last month as having beep very exten-
sive, but as irnportero have been free sellers, prices have de-
clined, The official returns published by the Board of
Trade indicate also a great increase in the imports of all
articles of subsistence during the three months pf this year,
ending with April 5, and as the consumption has also
largely increased as regards most of the principal
articles, including sugar, tea, and coffee, we may count
upon an increased outlay on that score, which
our exports do not as yet promise to meet, for they have
fallen off nearly 200,0001. The decline is principally upon
cotton manufactures, coals, and yarns, partly counterbalanced
however by an increase in glass, iron, wool, and silk manu-
factures.
The English Funds have been further depressed again to-
day, and there have been some money sales making,
although there is no particular demand for capital out of
doors. The rally in corn, with the reports about the potato
disease, the heavy railway calls, and the continued distress
in Ireland, added to the uncertainty about Exchequer-bills,
are all sources of present excitement and profit to the Bears.
Ascot Races have attracted a large number of persons, and
there is consequently but little speculation going on. Con-
sols have been 87% to 88% for present transfer, and 88%
88% for Account. Consols Scrip has been I% discount

Austrian Bonds have been at 106.
Railway Shares have been rather heavy again, but are
better supported than at Liverpool.
