MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bales. Prices were firm Railway Shares were in more
request, but not higher.
The details by the Overland Mail represent the state
of political affairs as being tolerably satisfactory, all
being quiet ; but the markets for European goods were
still dull. The accounts from Canton are not so favour-
able as could be desired, but the naval force of the
English seems to be quite adequate to any emergency.
The advices from the West Indies all notice the
abundance of the crops, but, at the same time, the
weather was in some parts, Barbadoes especially, too
dry for the young canes. The quantity of sugar to be
shipped to England was very large, but there were not
enough vessels to bring it on at present. The merchants
of Kingston, Jamaica, had been complaining of the rail-
way company having entered into trading operations,
and had taken a legal opinion against the company.
The Trinidad Railway was sanctioned by the Assembly,
but the terms asked were not conceded to the full extent.
In Demerara there had been sufficient rain.

The demand for bills yesterday afternoon for remit-
tance to the principal continental cities was again such
as to indicate a balance against this country, but the
rates were not lower, and indeed were even firmer in
some instances. _

The Corn Market has been steady to-day, at about
Mon,lay's rates.
In the English Funds the business done continues to be
limited, nor does the circumstance of the Hibernia
steamer carrying out such a much smaller amount of
specie than was expected, or the rise in the Paris Bourse,
excite any buoyancy. We are now, however, getting so
much nearer the harvest that a continuance of fine
weather must strengthen public confidence. Consols
have been 881 for present transfer, and 89 to for
Account. Exchequer-bills have realised Bs. to 1 ls.
premium. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents.
have been sai to 911. Bank Stock has been steady at
198. Consols Scrip is -1 premium.
The Foreign Investments have been extremely heavy.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been quoted 311; Mexi-
can 19k, and Brazilian 84. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 5711.
For Railway Shares the market is depressed.
