MONEY and COATATERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUA re TER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was
very heavy again. Sales, 3,000 bales, including 2,500
bales American at sd. to 6id. per lb. Prices of Ameri-
can were id. to id. per lb. lower, and other sorts id. per
lb. lower.--Railway Shares were rather improving, and
with a better demand. Midland Stock advanced about
four per cent.
There are accounts from South Australia to the 12th
of May. There was to be an abrogation of special
mining surveys.

In the City there are various injurious rumours. Two
or three country banks are spoken of as having stopped.
People are more than ever satisfied that Government
interposition will be afforded, because our positiun be-
comes too critical longer to permit of such extraordi-
nary inertness.

The Money Market is not tighter for parties of good
standing, but large advances are obtainable with the
greatest difficulty. In contradiction to the state
ments current, we have heard that Messrs. Little-
dale, of Liverpool, have not received assistance
from the Bank of England (certainly not to the amount
stated), and that there has been merely a promise of
aid given in case the firm should need it. The sales
of Stock yesterday were, therefore, not it is said, as re•
presented to be, on account of the firm, one of the part-
ners of which has sacrificed recently an estate of some
value. It is impossible, amidst such conflicting rumours,
to arrive at the truth.

The Funds are very unsteady, but are buoyed up
better than could be expected. Consols have ranged
from 791 to 80* for transfer, and from 791 to 801 for
November. Exchequer-bills have been 275. to 325.
discount. Bank Stock has realised 1821 to 180. The
New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 79} to
801. There have been some rather large transactions.
The Foreign Market is quite neglected. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 17. The Three per Cents.
are nominally at previous rates, and Mexican rather
better, owing to the payment made by Messrs. Liaardi
of about 14,0001. of bills falling due.
Railway Shares are very well maintained, but there
is not much doing.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat
during the present week have been on a very moderate
scale, the show of samples here this morning was more
than equal to the wants of the millers, whose attendance
was again small. For all descriptions—especially for
the parcels left over from Monday—the demand was in
a very sluggish state, and in some instances the quota-
tions had a downward tendency. Very moderate im-
ports of foreign Wheat have been received; nevertheless
—owing to several large parcels being pressed for sale—
the trade was heavy, and Monday's currencies were
with difficulty supported. Barley was a very slow sale,
and somewhat easier to purchase. Superfine Malt sup.
ported late rates, but all other kinds were very dull, at
barely stationary prices. Oats were a slow inquiry, bat
not cheaper. In all other articles we have no change
to notice.

a very steady =ale for Calves, and a good clearance via
effected, at, in some instances, a❑ advance in the cur-
rencies of 2d ler Blbs. The Pork -trade was firm, at
late prices. Mulch Cows were very dull, at from 151 to
171 17s each, including their small Calf.

Jr to. day's market the supply of Beasts was moderate
as to number, there being about 300 head leas on offer
than on this day se'nnight, and of very inferior quality.
Really prime Beasts would have sold readily, at an ad-
vance of 2d per 131bs ; but as there were none in the
wirket, we have to report.a steady Beef trade atifully
Monday's quotations. The foreign supplies of stock
consisted of 392 Oxen and Cows, 1,780 Sheep, 142
Calves, and 12 Pigs. With Sheep we were very scantily
supplied. All breeds moved off readily at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond, Monday's prices. There was
