MONEY and COM MERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market on Satur-
day were about 4,000 bales, the market being quieter.
A larger quantity was on offer, and prices were more in
favour of buyers. Surat, 300 bales, sold at 4d to sd;
50 bales Egyptian realised 7id. to 8d; and the rest was
American, at 6kd. to 7id. per lb. 'Railway Shares sere
dull, and generally drooping.
A most important feature has prevailed in the Corn-
market this morning. The purchases on French and
Belgian account have been immensely large. Nearly
all the stands were, in fact, cleared off. The price of
Wheat was fully 6s. per quarter in advance of
the rates of last Monday ; Oats are ls. to 2s. per
quarter ; and Barley, 2s. per quarter dearer. There
was in truth a positive rush to purchase from the mo-
ment the market opened until all was cleared off. Such
an active and brisk demand, while it lasted, has not been
eeu for very many years past. For a season at least
this extraordinary advance must have an influence on the
operations of the Court of Directors of the Bank of Eng-
land.

The steamer which leaves Liverpool to-morrow for the
United States takes out some amount of specie again,
but there is reason to believe that as Messrs. Rothschild
and one or two other firms have received a large amount
in bullion from the continent, within the last few day-,
there has been application made to them by exporters of
coin, rather than to the Blink of England. The latter,
it is stated, has declined to buy the specie imported
by the firms alluded to at a higher price than
usual, and this may induce them to ship it to
America and foreign parts on their own account.
Under any circumstances the receipt of this-money must
afford present relief, and it would be scarcely of any
use for the Bank to be. a •buyer at a premium, when the
whole might soon again be withdrawn at par by the
4olders of its notes. The wisest plan seems to be to let
the bullion operators make their own arrangements.
The Funds have been higher this morning, and there
has been rather an increased demand for Stock. Consols
for transfer to-morrow have realised 864 to 87, and for
May 864 to 87a. The Reduced Three per Cent. An-
nuities have been 854 to 864, and the New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. 871 to 874. The value of Exch,quer-
bills has been premium to 2s. discount. East India
Stock is at 245.
The Foreign Investments have ♦aried but little.
Portuguese Bonds are dull at 344. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been quoted 254 4 ; and the Three per
Cents., 364 4. Brazilian Stock has been marked 824,
and Mexican, 204 to 204. Austrian Bonds have realised
1094, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 584.
Railway Shares have been steady, although they
were flat at Liverpool on Saturday. Great Western
New are quoted 74; North-Western, 172 to 173; South-
Western, 64 ; South-Eastern, 364 to 37 ; Brighton, 52
to 4 ; Midland, 1144 to 115 ; Eastern Counties, 184 to
194 ; Aberdeen, 27 ; Yurk and North-Midland, 82 ;
Scottish Central, 24.2 ; Northern of France, 124
Demerara, 34 ; Paris and Strasburg, 2 to 24 ; and Eas
