MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 'lO 7 711 l EE.
The Cotton Market 'at Liverpool yesterday was
heavy, with prices of American id. lower for the week,
and Surats id. below last Friday's quotations. The
sales amount to 3,000 bags, of which 500 were Ame-
rican, for export, and include 2,500 American, at sd.
to 6d.; 250 Surat, at 38d. to 4d.; and 50 Egyptian,
at 7d. to Bd.—The Share market was firm, but there
was not much business doing.
At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs.
Lamond and Co., prices were drooping, but there was
no change of note. The following are a few of the
quotations;—

Thera are a few of the letters received from Liver-
pool and Manchester to-day which have a more confi-
dent bearing in their tone as to future prospects.
It was anticipated, however, that the country
orders for goods would have come in more
freely. The suspension of payments by the firm of
Coates and Company and its branch firms at Manchester
had been a heavy blow to the expectations of holders of
stocks of manufactured fabrics, as certainly business was
expected to be done for export to the United States, if
not for large, at least for moderate amounts of goods.
This is likely to be a very blank day indeed in the
colonial markets, not one public sale of produce being
announced, and only a trifling amount of "odds and
ends" being declared, to attract buyers interested.
We regret to have to announce that information has
been received this morning of the suspension of pay-
ments by the Honiton Bank. The London agents are
Messrs. Lubbock and Company, but it is represented
that they are well protected. It is hardly safe to notice
the amount for which the bank has failed. They were
privileged to issue: to the sum of about 19,020/. The
house went under the names of Mr. Christopher Samuel
Flood and Harry Buckland Lott. The event has not
created any excitement in the City.
There is a meeting now being held of the creditors of
the firm of Messrs. Samuel Philips and Co. It is yet
too early to give the result.
The memorandum of Coffee exported from Colombo
shows that in ten years the quantity has been more than
quintupled. With the exception of a small quantity
shipped at Galle, all this coffee trade is concentrated at
Colombo ; and the total imports and exports of the port
last year, it will be seen, tell little short of a millioa and
a half sterling. In 1836 the whole trade of the island,
export and import, was 7alued at little less than a third
of this sum, viz. 411,167/.; and in 1826, twenty-one
years ago, the whole trade of the colony was valued at
only 309,747/.
Estimated quantity-1447, 240,000 cwt.
Value of Imports and Exports for 1846—Imports,
1,011,289/. 1 Is. 10d. ; exports, 467,6201, 7s. 2d.
Vessels Inwards and Outwards—lnwards, 990 vessels,
93,076 tons; outwards, 999 vessels, 91,468 tons.
A material change has taken place in the aspect of
the Money market. Consols have advanced from 621
to 83k. Some very excellent business has been done.
It has been hinted that the directors of the Bank have
been in conclave to reduce the rate of interest. At the
present time of writing no official intimation has ap-
peared. The fluctuations in Consols for the Account
stand thus as yet, opened at 821, then then it, then a
jump up to 83, at which they remain firm, rather buyers.
Bank Stock has risen from 184 to 186, the Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. from 821 to 82k. and the Three per
Cents. Consuls from 821 to The premium upon Ex-
chequer-bills has touched 19s, discount, but a sale has
been made at 14s. East India Bonds are at 35 discount.
In the Foreign Stocks the only business done was in
Austrian at 100i,In Danish 79 to 80, in Belgian at 87
ex-div., and in Dutch Four per Cents. Certificates
at 81i.
The Railway Share rarket is generally reported to
wear a more favourable aspect to-day.
