MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, of which 500 were American for export and 1,000
on speculation. Of the whole quantity 4,000 bales were
American at 6d. to 7id., and 300 Surat at 4id. to sd.
per lb. The market was firm throughout, but without
excitement, and prices were steadily supported. There
was a better inquiry for Shares.
At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. La-
mond and Co., prices were steady, in the absence of any ♦ery
active demand. The following are a few of the principal
sales :

Leicester & Bedford, Exchange Certificate £0 12 0
Louvain kla Sambre
Manchester and Southampton 0 9 0
Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 5 7 0
Vale of Neath
London and South-Western (scrip)

South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 3 0

North Staffordshire
The arrivals of corn in the principal ports of the conti-
nent continue on a scale commensurate with those which
are noticed here and in Ireland. At Trieste forty corn
laden ships reached the port in one day, and this, with
the prospect of magnificent crops, had caused a fall of
one florin per stajo in wheat. At Ypres seven vessels
arrived in a few hours, with 40,000 kilogrammes, con-
signed to the municipal administration of Antwerp.
But for this timely supply, the dealers would have run up
prices.
The exports of grain from Cronstadt, from the open-
ing of the navigation to the sth June, were 295,858
chetwerts.
The news by the Overland Mail from India does not
read very encouragingly in reference to the markets.
though satisfactory in its political bearings. The im-
portant doings at Canton are highly approved of, as
affording the readiest plan for compelling the Celestials
to " stick to their bargain."
