MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUAITER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
firmer, the sales being 2,000 bales, with a good feeling.
Railway shares were also better.
From Liverpool the mercantile advices are of a
favourable character, and the idle reports current
for some time past respecting the position of dif-
ferent houses have been lulled in the assurance that
no solvent firm is now likely to be placed in difficulties.
The bankers are much more liberal, and it is said that
the applications for advances made to the Bank of Eng•
land have not been very numerous. The check given to
foreign loans and excessive railway expenditure is
likely to be very decidedly felt, as the " calls" for the
present month are only about a million and a half, and
probably these will be greatly in arrears.
It may be as well to note that the exchanges are not
likely to be quite so well supported, but that bullion is
still coming in quietly from the Continent.
The Stock Market has been very fluctuating, and
there is a difference of nearly one per cent. between the
highest and lowest quotations. Consols have ranged
from 834t0 S 2 for Transfer, and from 831-to 82i for
Time. Exchequer-bills have been 20s. to 15s. discount.
The New Three-and a• Quarter per cents. have been
834 to 82k. Bank Stock has ranged from 183 to 187.
The foreign securities are quite neglected. Mexican
are 17 to 17i. Chilian are 85 to 86i. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are at 53.
Railway Shares have gone back again, the natural
result of a re action after the decided improvement of

'esterday.
