MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
8,000 bales, including 4,000 American on speculation.
Prices remained as before. Shares were heavy, and on
the decline.
There is an appearance Of rather more ease in the
Money Market this morning. The intense excitement
of last week appears to be gradually wearing away.
The Stock Markets are more tranquil. There is an
advance, however, to be noticed in the Corn Markets
this morning. The commercial sales announced for the
present week are rather considerable, but in the
present state of the Money Market it is not
very generally anticipated that prices can rule high.
The rate of interest upon the first description of paper is
rather on the advance than otherwise in the general dis-
count market. The directors of the Bank of England
are most careful in restricting their accommodation upon
mercantile paper, and without reference to any parti•
cular and heretofore select firms, with the exception of
those known to be carrying on their usual commercial
transactions upon the steady principle which has for a
long time past marked their operations.
The opening price of Consols this morning was 85k,
and for the 15th instant 854; but the present values are
851 k for the former, and 85i g for the latter. The value
of Consols Scrip is as low as 311 and 4 discount. Bank
Stock is worth 195. The New Three and-a Quarter per

MARKET NEWS.-(T HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of all articles of home produce for our
market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage,
and samples, were on a very limited scale; while from
Ireland and Scotland very little grain of any description
came to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat and
Flour ware comparatively small, but those of Barley,
Oats, and Beans, were tolerably good. From Essex and
Kent a moderate quantity of Wheat came fresh to hand,
but from the various other counties the receipts of that
description of grain were trifling. On the whole,.
the stands were fairly suppled with samples of
both red and white, yet the demand, owing to
the large attendance of London buyers (most
of whom were very short of stock), and the provincial
markets coming higher, was somewhat active, and $
good clearance was effected, at an advance in the curren7
cies ostained on Monday last of from is to fully 2s per
quarter, and at which the market closed firmly. With
Foreign Wheat we were by no means heavily supplied.
Although there was no inquiry for export, the trade
must be considered firm, at a rise iu value of fully Is
per quarter. At that amount of improvement, about
3,500 quarters changed bands. The quantity of
English Barley brought forward was trifling ; that
of Foreign by no means large. All kinds
were in steady request, at an improvement
of is to, in some few instances, 2s per quarter, and at
which a good clearance was effected. The quantity of
Malt brought forward was trifling. Superfine White '
parcels were held at Is per quarter more money. In
the value of other kinds we can notice no improvements
with a fair demand. The supply of Oats, even including
the foreign arrivals of last week, was by no means
adequate to meet the wants of the dealers ; how-
ever, the trade was firm, at 6d to is per
quarter above last Monday's prices. The sale
for Beans was steady, and a few parcels changed
hands at is per quarter more money. In Peas a mode•
rate business was transacted, at full prices. Indian corn
was steady, at late rates. The Flour trade was steady,
but we can notice no improvement in value.

For the time of year the imports of live stock into
London continue on a very moderate scale, those since
this day se'nniglet having been composed of only 220
Oxen and Cows, 121 Sheep, and 31 Calves, from Holland
and Germany. These small importations are generally
attributed to the comparatively high prices of stock neer '
ruling on the continent, and which leave,notwithstandin4
the operation of our import laws, an unusually small
margin of profit to the shippers. At Hull and the various
other outports the arrivals have consisted of about 400
head, chiefly of beasts. There were on offer to-dap
about 200 Beasts, 120 Sheep, and 19 Calves from abroad,
the whole of which moved off slowly on somewhateasier terms. From our own grazing districts, the arri-
vals of Beasts fresh up this morning were unusually
large; indeed, it was one of the largest supp
lies on offer
at this seast,n for many years past. As to the general
quality of the drot,es, we may observe that, compare-
Lively specking, it was very good, most of the animals
carrying a large quantity of internal fat, especially
those from Norfolk and Scotland. Notwithstanding the
attendance of buyers was large, the6Beef trade, owing
to the immense number of Beasts on show, and the
change in the weather, was excessively dull, at a de- 4.
cline on last we ek's prices of quite 2d per Sibs'
the highest quotations for the best Scots not exceeding •
4s 2d per 81bs. At the close of business a large number
of Beasts left the market unsold. The arrivals froo!
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire consisted
of 1,400 Scots, Homebreds, and Short-horns • from the
northern, western, and midland districts, I,loo'HerefordS;
Bunts, Devons, and Short-horns ; from other parts 0
England, 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 26u
Horned and Polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep Were
considerably on the increase, and of very excellent qua'
lity. The primest old Downs, which were rather scarce;
moved off slowly, at last week's prices, viz., from 41 101
to 5s 6d per 81bs ; but all cther breeds were very debt
and quite 2d per 81bs lower than on this day so'nnighh
with a heavy inquiry. With Lambs we were scautilt
supplied, yet the Lamb trade was in a very depressed
state, at a fall in value of 4d per 81bs, the highest figure
not exceeding 6s per 81bs. Calves were in short sullif
and heavy demand, at Friday's quotations. In rigs '
very little was doing, and the rates had a downward
tendency.

Fair average supplies of country-killed Meat have
come to- hand since this day se'nnight, viz., about 120
carcases of Beef, 400 of Mutton, 200 of Lamb, 120 of.
Veal, and 500 of Pork. On the whole we have bell
well supplied with Meat slaughtered in the metropolis.

WOOL.
The imports of foreign and colonial Wool last week
consisted of about 800 packages. Notwithstanding the
actual supplies on offer in the private contract market
are comparatively small, the demand for all descriptions
is in a sluggish state at barely stationary prices.
BOROUGH HOP MARZLET.
The demand fur all kinds of Hops still continues veil
limited ; and it is with difficulty that last week's prices,
are supported. Sussex pockets, 78s to 86s ; Weald 0'

The market still continues very heavy, and prices arc,

THE MURDER OF AIR. RILEY.—This unfortunate
gentleman, it will be remembered, was murdered on the
11th of January last, while on his road home from She('
field to Grimesthorpe-lane. On getting into his hotil,
ho exclaimed, " Mary, they have almost murdered me:
This was said to his wife, but he could not identify h'
murderers. The deceased was attacked on the Mondai,!,
and died on the Saturday morning following. Esi'V
the next day his watch was found wrapped up in sal
cloth, in Mr. Riley's garden, where it had been pin
"g,"
during the night. From information received by oi
Raynor, superintendent of police, he caused two mey'
named William Challiner and James Bradley, of Grimes,-
thorpe, to be apprehended on Saturday morning hoc
It appears, that a Sheffield man had been discovered'
who had purchased Mr. Riley's watch of the prisoners,
and who, on hearing of the murder, had gone and pisee,lti
the watch in Mr. Riley's garden, as before describe"'
This man, it seems, had kept the secret until Fridoi,
last, when he admitted the facts of having purchase
°
the watch and placed it where it was found. The pri°
soners were taken before the mayor, and remanded ill
order to complete the evidence a,:ainst them.
His Excellency Sir Alex. Alalet, the British Mici
nister at the court of Wurtemburg, has arrived at Leir
Brougham's, from Stuttgardt, en cove. Lady
came to town, from Brougham-hall, to meet his L'xee`
lency.
LAYING OF THE FIRST STONE OF THE EAST ASP
WEST YORKSHIRE RAILWAY VIADUCT.—The
esting ceremony of laying the first stone of the viaduev
by which the East and West Yorkshire Junction Rail-
way, which was commenced in November, will cross
the river Nidd at linaresborougb, took place on Dion'
day laat.
