FRIDAY EVENING, O'CTOTER 22, 1847.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was
very heavy again. Sales, 3,000 bales, including 2,500
bales American at sd. to bid. per lb. Prices of Ameri-
can were id. to id. per lb. lower, and other sorts -id. per
lb. lower.—Railway Shares were rather improving, and
with a better demand. Midland Stock advanced about
four per cent.
There are accounts from South Australia to the 12th
of May. There was to be an abrogation of special
mining surveys.

In the City there are various injurious rumours. Two
or three country banks are spoken of as having stopped.
People are more than ever satisfied that Government
interposition will be afforded, because our position be-
comes too critical longer to permit of such extraordi-
nary inertness.

The Money Market is not tighter for parties of good
standing, but large advances are obtainable with the
greatest difficulty. In contradiction to the state
ments current, we have heard that Messrs. Little-
dale, of Liverpool, have not received assistance
from the Bank of England (certainly not to the amount
stated), and that there has been merely a promise of
aid given in case the firm should need it. The sales
of ,Stock yesterday were, therefore, not it is said, as re-
presented to be, on account of the firm, one of the part-
ners of which has sacrificed recently an estate of some
value. It is impossible, amidst such conflicting rumours,
to arrive at the truth.

The Funds are very unsteady, but are buoyed up
bette► than could be expected. Consols have ranged
from 798 to 808 for transfer, and. from 798 to 801 for
November. Exchequer-bills have been 275. to 325.
discount. Bank Stock has realised 182- to 180. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 794 r to
sq. There have been some rather large transactions.
The Foreign Market is quite neglected. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 17. The Three per Cents.
are nominally at previous rates, and Mexican rather
better, owing to the payment made by Messrs. Lizardi
of about 14,0001. of bills falling due.
Railway Shares ;re very well maintained, but there
is not much doing.
