MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was more
animated. Sales about 5,000 bales, and American was
about id per lb. higher. American 44d. to 6id. Rail-
way shares were better, with greater disposition
to buy.
The advices received from the United States by the
steamer are favourable in regard to the condition of the
mercantile community, no failures haring occurred ;
but the mistrust excited by the stoppages here was more
marked, and has induced a remittance of bullion, not-
withstanding the balance of trade is in favour of
America. It appears probable that the Money Market
on the other side of the Atlantic will become more
stringent, and that the Treasury will need fresh
supplies of cash to carry on the Mexican war. It would
be most important to Europe, as well as to the United
States, were the contest brought to a close, but of
which, unfortunately, there sloes not appear to be any
immediate prospect. It is stated that " the demand for
foreign exchange for remittance by the Boston steamer
of the Ist proximo has not been as yet very active.
There is so little confidence in bills that many will be
indueed to ship specie, even at a loss. We quote bills
on London at 8i to 9 per cent. premium; on Paris,
sf. 224 c. to sf. 20c.; Amsterdam, 40/ to 40k; Hamburg,
36 to 364; Bremen, 79 to 79g. The suspension of the
house of Reid, Irving, and Co. caused considerable
anxiety among those interested in the Bank of Charles-
ton, S.C., as it was reported that a large amount of bills
had been protested. The bank has made a statement
to this effect. The total amount of drafts drawn by
them upon Reid, Irving, and Co., since the Ist of July
to the present time, amounts to 1,3341. 14s. 4d., and
the drafts were all at sight, and for sums from 1/. to 100 L
with one or two exceptions."
Adverting to the London failures, it is stated that
" the nature of the foreign business of Prime, Ward,
and Co. was such that a very large portion of their
assets was in the hands of parties on the other side, and
their losses there will absorb nearly the whole of them,
leaving liabilities in this country of nearly half a million
of dollars, upon which not more than five or ten cents.
on the dollar can be paid. This, therefore, is a bad
failure ; but so far the only one here growing out of the
commercial connexion existing between this country and
England."

In Canada the timber trade was very inactive. The
arrivals of shipping at Quebec exhibit a decrease of
105,281 tons, as compared with 1846, to Oct. 26. Flour
at Montreal was dull at 28s. 9d. to 30s. per barrel for
Quebec and the loser ports.
A considerable number of parties connected with the
West India, the East India, and other trades, attended
this morning at the sales announced to take place by
Messrs. Trueman and Cook, who had a considerable
quantity of Coffees and Safflower in this day's cata-
logue, for public competition. Long before the sales
were commenced the room was tolerably crowded, and
the almost universal topic of conversation was the sus-
pension of yesterday. At one o'clock crowds entered
the sale-room, and the auctioneer mounted into the
rostrum. There was a pause for a few seconds, when
the conditions of sale were referred to, and the bid•
dings for Coffee commenced. Those who came to
hear if any remarks would be made upon a recent
stoppage, walked out, evidently disappointed, and the
business of the day proceeded in its ordinary course.
The circular issued by Messrs. Trueman and Cook will
explain how the brokerage business for the future is to
be conducted.

In the Consol market a much better feeling has pre-
vailed this morning than was apparent yesterday. For
the Account the value commenced at 831, an advance
then took place to 84f, and at present 841 is about the
price. For immediate Transfer the rate was 83k, and
soon after 84g. The other stocks have risen in an equal
proportion. The value of Exchequer-bills is ls. pre-
mium to ls. discount. East India Bonds are at 18s. to
225. discount. Bank Stock continues at 188 to 189.

In the Foreign Stock Market the principal transac-
tions have been in Russian, at a fall from 1061 to 106;
in the Old Portuguese Five per Cents. at 78; in Chilian
at a rise from 86 to 88; in Mexican at 15i; and in
the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 54.
The business done in the Railways was not of much
importance. Midland Consolidated Preference, North
British, and a few other shares, are up a little.
