MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very
animated. There was an advance of id. per lb. in the
quotations of American, Surat, Brazil, and Egyptian,
the sales amounting to 18,000 bales, and including
12,000 bales of American at 61(1. to 74d., 1,000 of Per-
nambuco at 7,-}d. to 81d., 2,500 Surat at 41d. to 51d.
Speculators took 6,000 bales American, and 1,600 of
other sorts. In Railway Shares, as usual, when cotton
speculation thrives, business was not so brisk.
Accounts from Borneo state that the pirates in that
quarter had again been very troublesome, and that they
had made a descent upon the Island of Lepar in 22
proas, and with 300 men, but were fortunately beaten
back with some loss.
The advices from various parts of the Continent con-
tinue very favourable in respect to the growing crops,
and in the mere southerly countries harvest operations
are going on vigorously.
Tne state of business is still gradually improving, al-
though not yet brisk. Money for commercial purposes
has been rather more in demand, but the payment of
the dividends may shortly be expected to afford ample
funds.
The English Stock market appears to be in a very
uncertain position, as far as Bulls and Bears are con-
cerned. Neither seem disposed just yet to operate,
though the inclination certainly appears to be to invest
rather than to sell. The operators for a rise look for
support and encouragement to the prospects of a good
harvest, the easy manner in which the payments have
hitherto been made for foreign corn imported, and the
bare possibility of bullion for the purchase of stock being
received from Russia. The opposite party reason, of
course, per contra, that our harvest is not yet secured,
nor are the supplies we shall need yet paid for, and that
the Russian operation has long since been concluded
by the taking of a portion of the new loan con-
tracted for by Messrs. Baring, and the drawing
of bills of exchange. Indeed, the Bears even
insinuate that there is enough of the new loan
yet in the hands of parties who will be glad, at
existing rates, to deliver it on the account day. It is of
course impossible for us to decide when " doctors dis-
agree." Consols are now quoted 89 to /. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents are 91 to /. The Three
per Cent. Reduced Annuities are 89* tot.. Exchequer-
bills have been quoted Bs. to 12s. premium. East India
Bonds are 10s. premium.
The Foreign Securities are very dull again. Spanish
Five per Cents. have realised 21. Nothing has b.e
chine in Portuguese. Bri&ilian Old Bonds have been at

Half per Cents., exdividend, have been 57* to I.
The Railway Share Market is not quite so active,
but holders are firm and the jobbers are short of scrip.

THE SALT TRADE AT ST. ÜBES.
A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Board of
Trade, announcing the receipt of a communication from the
British Vice-Consul at St. jibes, to the effect that the stock
of salt appropriated to the loading of foreign vessel, having
been disposed of, several out of the great number of vessels
seeking the article, had been ordered off to Lisbon, and orders
had been given to warn other vessels off. Should the
weather continue favourable, the new salt was expected to
be ready by the end of July, but if otherwise, much later.
PRESENTATION OF A GOLD MEDAL BY THE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

THE EXHIBITION IN WESTMINSTER HALL.---This
exhibition, as announced on Saturday, was opened to the
public on Monday last. Probably owing to the greater
interest excited by thg present than either of the former
exhibitions under the commission, the hall was more
crowded than on any previous occasion. On Monday,
from nine o'clock until dusk, a continuous stream of
visitors passed through the exhibition, and the number*
have increased each succeeding day. The paintings to
which the premiums have been awarded attract the
greatest amount of observation ; but the collection alto-
gether, if one may judge from the success which has at-
tended the exhibition, appears to be highly attractive to
the public. A very large number of the nobility and
gentry visit the hall daily,
Mr. William Scrope Ayrton, Registrar of the
Court of Review, has been appointed Commissioner of
the DitAttii.'4 Court of Bankruptcy at Leeds, 'meant by
Twignation of the late Quagussioner.
