MONEY and COMMERCIAL . NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE•

The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
very steady.. Sales 5,000 bales. Exporters took 1,500
bales. American realised sd. to 6id. per lb. Railway
Shares were firm, with a fair business doing.
The accounts received from the East Indies in a com-
mercial point of view aro considered rather of a satis-
factory character—certainly more so than was antici-
pated.
There has been a further arrival of specie by the
General Steam Navigation Company's ships the Giraffe
from Rotterdam, and the Countess of Lonsdale from
Hamburgh. The former had 1,0001. on board and the
latter about 15,000/. in value.
There is no particular feature in the Money Market,
but at present affairs look rather more promising. All
now, however, will depend upon the proceedings in
Parliament.
A party who writes to complain of a statement made
last month under this head, to the effect that the
Aberdeen Railway Company had succeeded in borrowing
an amount which would enable them to dispense with a
call, is informed that the source where we obtained our
account was deemed impartial and accurate, and that
from the concurrent testimony of the Aberdeen
journals, it was believed that no call would be
made. We have referred, however, to the •WV
who furnished us with the news, and it was
based upon a letter written by a highly respectable
party in Scotland, which letter we were shown, and the
explanation given is that the " call " may have been
made in consequence of the apprehension that the
Legislature will interfere to check the raising of capital
Whether, owing to the great advance in the value of
money, the company has been disappointed in part of its
loan, or is indisposed to pay so high a rate, we are
unable to say.
The Stock Market has assumed no special feature
to-day. Consols are at rather fuller rates, however,
having been 84 to 84k. Bank Stock is 187 to 189.
The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been
841 to 84k. Exchequer-bills have been ls. to 31‘
discount.
li-
The dealings in the Foreign Funds have been
mited, and at prices which exhibit no marked vefi
riation. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 161 to 17,
and the Three per Cents. 28 to 28k. Portuguese
Bonds have been merely nominal. Mexican Stock is et'
15# to 15k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have
realised 54k. Grenada Deferred are at 34.
In Railway Shares there is not a great deal doing'
but holders in general demand rather fuller quotation..

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
The minimum rate of discount at the Bank of Bog'
land is lowered to 7 per cent.
