PRICE SD.

MONEY arid COMMERCIAL NE S.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was vain
advancing. Sales, 8,000 bales, including 1,20.3 bLles of
American for exportation, and 1,500 on speculation.
The market was very firm. The rise is jd. to id. on
American, compared with Friday last, and Id. pa r lb.
on Surat. Other sorts were at very full rates. Ameri-
can sold at bid. to lid. per lb.—ln Railway Shares there
was a further improvement, and a general advance in
prices. The demand for Midland and North St,..fford
shares continued good, and also fur Dever halves.
The accounts from the provinces, as well as from
abroad, continue highly cheering as respects the weather
and the decline in grain.
A gentleman alreany favourably known for some sug-
gestions on the improvement of sugar-manufacturing
processes, has just circulated some " Observations on
the present State and future Prospects of the
West, Indies," in which it is "remarked that the
mother country is called upon to provide a tempo-
rary substitute for an active middle class, which
under the institutions of slavery the colonies had no op-
portunity of raising for themselves. There comes also
from the colonies a cry for labourers; and Government
may perhaps with benefit :give facilities for their
manu-
facturing introduction; but the promotion of a good manu-
facturing system on sound principles would, it must be
remembered, set much labour at liberty, which would
at once be applicable to agricultural purposes. May we
not suppose then that the mother country would do well
to encourage in some of the chief islands the intro-
duction of a sound manufacturing system, under
such restrictions as would prevent any encroachments
upon the liberty of the people ? And considering that
the raising a healthy social system in those colonies is
the best measure for securing our power in that pot tion
of the world, would not our Government be fully j'isti-
fied in lending pecuniary aid, if it should be required,
for the establishment of railroads and factories?

"We seem as yet little to understand what, in a
commercial point of view, may be the ultimate value
of our West Indian Colonies, possessing, as some of
the islands do, on their mountain sides great diversities
of climate, with soils of surpassing fettility, capable of
rewarding their cultivators with an endless variety of
productions. We are told also that the ruddy glow of
health is found upon the faces of the inhabitants of the
higher portions of Jamaica, who are said to be remark-
able for their longevity."
Everything looks cheerful again in the City, and
stocks feel the influence of the splendid weather, while
the settlement of the account is much more in favour of
a rise than many had predicted. Consols have been 81
to 88 for present transfer, and 881 i for account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been par to 2s. premium ; and East
India Bonds Is. to 2s. premium. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88/ to j, and the
Three per Cents. 861 to 4. Bank Stock is worth 189/
to 1904.
There is the same apathy exhibited in respect to deal-
ings in the Foreign Market. Mexican Bonds have been
marked 204 11, being rather higher again. Not a bargain
is reported in Spanish or Portuguese. Dutch Two-
and -a- Half per Cents. have been quoted 58k.
Railway Shares have been advancing, and there is
more demand.

Accounts of April 4, from Bahia state, that shipping
was very scarce. The exchange on London was 29id.

PREVENTION
PreventionT The
Cruelty to Animals was he
annual meeting of the Society
OP CEUEL
forTO tAheNIMALS.
Id on Wednesday, at 1 o'clock,
in the Hanover-square Rooms, and was respectably but
not very numerously attended. His Grace the Duke of
Beaufort presided on the occasion, and the proceedings
of the meeting were of the usual character. The report
gave detailed accounts of the society's usefulness during
the past year, and it stated that auxiliary associations in
other parts of the kingdom, in Dublin, and in Paris, had
been exerting themselves with great activity and success.
Among other matters it made special reference to the
aSmithfivocate eld nuisance, the removal of which it strongly
dd. The meeting was addressed by the Bishop
of St. David's, the Marquis of Westminster, and other
speakers, on the claims of the society to the support of
the humane public, and the duties of suppressing wanton
cruelty towards the lower animals. The report un-
flounced some considerable bequests and donations.
