MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 16.—The sales of
Cotton this day comprise 3,000 bales, the demand in the early
part of the week improved, and the Market assumed a steadier
aspect, prices of Surat and American, particularly the better
class of the latter, being inclined to harden. The change so
favourable in appearance to holders, passed away on Tuesday,
and since then, although the China news was considered, on
the whole, auspicious, the demand has again fallen off, and the
Market closed heavily at our last quotations. A good extent of
business has been done by exp,rters, who have taken 3,200
bales of American, and 200 Pernams. Speculators have
taken 1,500 bales of American.
