MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUANTEI? TO THREE.
The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was fur-
ther depressed, being 4il. per lb. lower than on Friday
last. Sales, 4,000 bales, including 3,000 bales American
at 54d. to qd. per lb.
Very little business was done in Railway Shares.
Prices were lower, and the market was as gloomy as
ever.

Great anxiety prevails in the city to ascertain whether
any announcement will result from the interview which
took place yesterday between the Governor and Deputy-
Governor of the Bank, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. In the city a most gloomy state of feeling
prevails, and although the "fourth " has gone off better,
perhaps, than might have been anticipated, it is
certain that there is much of this result to be
attributed to the excellent feeling which prompts par-
ties to exercise mutual fOrbearance towards each other
The failure of Messrs. Rougemont Brothers, and Messrs.
John Thomas, Son, and Lefevre must inevitably bring
about other suspensions, and hence the danger of suf-
fering a day to pass without making a vigorous attempt
to restore confidence, as each house which falls increases
the danger to solvent firms, and probably brings down two
or three more.
The Bank of England is discounting as freely as
possible, but money still commands a high rate of in-
terest, and is in most active demand. Indeed we see no
prospect but that the intensity of the pressure will in-
crease unless relieved by extraordinary measures ; for
we know that difficulty is being experienced in quarters
which have ample property.
The Public Securities have fluctuated violently this
morning, and parties possessed of spare cash have
taken advantage of the demand fur money to pur-
chase stock at the existing low rates, and re-sell
it for the settling nine days on whereby they
obtain a profit of half to one per cent. This bonus,
however, could not be expected to last, and the conse-
quence is, that Ci,nsols have jumped up within the last
half hour from 83i to 84 for Transfer, being 84i to 85
for Account. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 255.
to 30s. discount, and no large quantity could be sold
even on those terms. Bank Stock is at 1911 to 196.
The Foreign Securities are quite neglected. Spanish
Fite per Ct•nt. Bonds have been 19 ; Mexican 184, and
zilian ex. div. 78. Dutch Four per Cents. have
b. en rnark.,(l 82i.
There has been very little doing in Railway Shares,
hut they keep steadier than might be expected. It is
not probable that large sales could be made at present
rates.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation wears a
heavy appearance, and including la public sale of 150
hhds Barbadoes and crystalised Demerara, which were
only partially realised ; the transactions barely amount
to 450 hhds, at prices establishing a decline of is 6d per
cwt on last week's currency. There have likewise been
offered by auction 7,725 bags Mauritius, which was all
realised at a reduction of about is per cwt on the rates
of this day week, via., 31s to 36s for low to good brown,
and 36s 6d to 44s for low to fine yellow, the greatest de-
cline being upon the lower descriptions. The principal
transactions privately comprise 350 chests brown Bahia,
at 39s 6d, and 2,000 bags Pernambuco and Paraiba, at
395. The quantity of British Plantation landed last
week at the East and West India Docks was 2,854 hhds,
454 tierces, 194 barrels. There were taken tor home
consumption 1,394 hhds, 154 tierces, 543 barrels. The
stock in the same places is 19,575 hhds, 2,386 tierces,
5,127 barrels.
COFFEE.-300 bags Plantation Ceylon was only partly
realised, at 51s for fine ord, being rather lower. 500
bags Brazil realised 29$ for good ord.
Rust —The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 1,042 puns 233 hhds ; there
were taken for home consumption 654 puns 25 hhds, and
exported 231 puns 19 hhds. The stock in the same
places is 12,252 puns 1,705 hhds.
RICE —Some Java has been sold at 16s for good bold
white.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 47s per cwt on the spot, and
Town 50s 6d.
TEA:—The market is quiet, but the consumption is
not quite so large as of late.
TOBACCO.—We have had no change in the market
last month deserving particular comment, and with the
exception of one or two trifling instances, we have re-
sumed our previous quotations; buyers in mostinstances
have supplied themselves as in need, and have shown no
disposition to increase their stocks much beyondim-
mediate consumption. Prices may be considered firm,
with a slight tendency upwards, but there has been no
disposition directed to speculative purchases. Sales during
last month have been 800 hhds, imports 476 hhds, deli-
veries 801 hhds, against 1,145 hhds in the corresponding
month of 1846; stock 25,680 hhds, against 28,354 hhds,
in 1846. In Virginia sales have not exceeded 200 hhds,
and have chiefly consisted of selections of good and y
