MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS..
(El 00. Ti'e uu ut bus, iNtgOt.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
though rather dull. Sales, 5,000 bales, of which 3,750
were American, at sd. to 71d.. and 1,000 Surat at 38(1.
to 4.1 d. per lb. American and Surat were considered
dearer. Shares were dull, at barely previous rates.
The Share Market was rather buoyant to-day, and the
demand has been active generally ; at the sale of Railway
Shares, by Messrs. Lansond sod Co., more business was done.
The following are a few of the principal sales:—
Leicester & Bedford, Exchange Certificate .£0 10 0

The arrivals of foreign grain have been very large
this week in London and at the outports, and the indis-
position to purchase is as manifest as ever.
Accounts of June 4th from Odessa state that win-at
was in more active demand, but that there was a want
of shipping. In rye less was done.
Considerable importations of soda biscuits are being
received, to ascertain their availability for consumption
in this country, a great many of which have been distri-
buted in Liverpool, and the London market is now being
well Isupplied with them direct; and to obviate the com-
plaints made by the public, in consequence of the various
parcels being sold privately, and the price being en-
hanced beyond a moderate remunerating profit, the
shippers at New York have thought it desirable
that a fair market value should be ascertained
by public sale, and a few hundred cases
were consigned to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt,
for that purpose. The consumption having hitherto
been confined to New York, it is only since the duty
has been reduced on " bread-stuffs" that they could be
introduced in quantity to this country, the present duty
being ten per cent. on the value as a manufactured
article. The first public sale took place on Monday
last, the prices realised being 525. per cwt. for the plain
soda, 545. for the sweet, and 80s. for the lemon, the pur-
chases being principally made by the grocers in the
metropolis.
The Ceylon Railway Company have had a most in-
teresting, and, to the parties concerned, important
meeting, to-day. We have not at present time to enter
at length into particulars, but it may suffice to state
that a return from existing traffice of no less than 19
per cent. upon a line of thirty-two miles from Colombo
to Kandy, is estimated by the engineer.
The English Funds are firmer to day. Consols have
been 88 to for July. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. are 89,--! to 90 ; and Bank Stock is 196 to
197. Exchequer-bills are 7s. to 10s. premium.
Portuguese Four per Cents. are 32 to 32A ; and there
has been no business in Spanish. Chilian have realised
928; Brazil Bonds are 82f to 83-1 ; Dutch Two-and•a
Half per Cents. have been 58j to 58i.
Railway Shares are much the same as yesterday, bu
with rather more doing.
