MONEY and COMMERCIAL 4EWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
dull. Sales 3,000 bales, at id. per lb. decline. Railway
shares generally were much better, and prices were
looking up. South-Eastern were in strong demand.
The debates in the House of Commons last evening,
though read with interest in the City among monetary
men, had no beneficial influence upon the state of the
Money Market. In short, it is considered next to
impossible that any influence will be worked upon public
securities by the debates, or the probable result of the
inquiries before the Committee.
The important fact communicated yesterday afternoon
to the readers of The Sua, has given much satisfaction
in all circles, and confidence has somewhat increased
among mercantile men.
A circular sent us by Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor,
of Manchester, in reference to the present condition of
trade, states—
" A general review of the position of the country
leads us to believe that the improvement now beginning
must,he slow and gradual in its advance, and confirms us
in the opinion that the true policy of manufacturers is
to keep their productions in cheek, and not with the
first signs of revival to outstrip the demand. Steady
markets are the best both far the merchant and manu-
facturer. The export trade of the clothing districts
during the last two years, as exhibited in the accounts
of the Board of Trade, made up the 10th of October last,
show little matter for gratulation."
The market for Consols, for Money and Account, has
been flat this morning. For Time the price has recedcd
to 86k, and for immediate Transfer to 85g. The Ex-
chequer-bill values have risen to ss. premium, and the
advertised paper to 98. premium. There is still a flat
demand for India Bonds. Bank Stock has been heavy
at 188 i. •
Spanish Bonds have advanced to 181, and the Three
per Cents. to 291. The Belgic Four-and-a half per
Cents. have impro!ed to 89, and Dutch Two-and•a-Half
per Cents. to s•ti i• Mexican Stock is held at 171
to 18.

There is an increased demand for the Railway
Shares this morning, and in several instances quota-
tions had improved, as our list of values will show.
The actual amount of business done has not been
very large.
