MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of cotron at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000
bales, including 2,000 on speculation and 1,000 for ex-
portation. Prices were firmly maintained, and, in some
cases, it per pound higher ; 7,500 bales American sold at
6F 1. to 7d., 600 Bahia at 7id., 1,000 Egyptian at lid.
to 100., 500 Surat at 3id. to 4kd., and Sea Island at 10d.
to 22d. per lb. Shares were dull.
Advices from the Cape of Good Hope of January 23,
still describe the troops as being iu pursuit of Pato, and
engaged in the capture of cattle.
By yesterday's arrivals from New York, the following
statement of exports, important at the present time, has
come to hand. It s ill serve to elucidate the question of
our indebtedness with that one port, balanced against the
imports of British manufactures there:—
First as regards the general exports of New York in
February, 1847, they were:—
Domestic Merchandise
Foreign " free .
" dutiable
Specie

Total
It will be perceived that the bulk of the exportation
was in domestic mvrchandise, and the bulk of this was
breadstuffs. The shipments of breadstuffs from this
port to Great Britain, in February, were as annexed:—
BREADSTUFF'S EXPORTED TO GREAT BRITAIN, FEB. 1847.
Bush. Bbls. Bush. Bbls.
•

Wheat. Flour. Corm Meal.
To England and Scotland 72,666 100,973 393,496 26,826
Ireland 13,869 17,241 402,904 10,719

Total
This is a pretty fair tn.inth's business, observes the
New York Herald, particularly in corn, and exceeds the
shipments for January. If there had been vessels
enough in port to have taken what offered, the shipments
of all kinds of breadstuffs would have been more than
double the above.

The Stock market is very heavy again this morning,
and sales, where pressed, can only be made at a further
decline. Consuls realise BSI i for present transfer, and
88i for April. Bank Stock is dull at 205 to 204
Consuls scrip is to discount. Exchequer-bills have
been Is. discount, and 2s. premium. The Funds are now
acted upon by the state of ,iff.iirs in Spain, by the large
remittances we have yet to make for grain, and by the
approaching payment of another instalment on the loan.
There has been more doing in the Foreign Market,
but sellers predominate. Spanish Five per Cents. have
been quoted 224, and the Three per Cents. 34. Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have been 33i to 34 ; and Bra-
zilian 86i. Mexican Bonds arc worth 2li ; and
Grenada 20k. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. have
been at 584.
Railway Shares are all very dull, and lower again, the
Account being against the Bulls. Still it does :not
appear that there are many sellers, and the depression
is likely to be but temporary, though depending upon
the Funds.
