mission.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 lIREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was
steady. Sales 5,500 to 6,000 bales, at steady rates.
American 3kd. to 54d. per lb. A better feeling prevailed
iu the Railway Share Market, and a fair business was
done, but at the close the quotations were flatter.
In a communication from Great Yarmouth, dated
Saturday, it is stated—" We have a miserably wet day
here, although during the week there have been, maul
intervals of sunshine, and these in conjunction.. with
fine dry wind, have given the farmers oppOrtunities
which they have not lost, as there is very,little wheat
abroad in Norfolk now. The wheats which
wao first
stacked are certainly not in good "reeldition,
and must stand till March next before they
will to fit for threshing, but there is a fair
quantity on the stack,' which will do for consumption
in the intermediate time, whilst in the barns for imme-
diate use there is below an average quantity, but to set
against this, the farmers are, where there capital have
allowed them, larger holders of old wheat than has been
known for years, and although a few months back our
merchants were holders to a very limited extent Of
wheat, yet just before harvest the deliveries were very
great at a lower figure than the present by soma 6s. per
quarter, and there is now an average quantity in the
hands of the speculators. Therefore, as tar as Norfolk
is concerned, I think we have every prospect of a fair
supply.
" The Barley is nearly all abroad. It is not a first-
rate crop, for although the quality of the early sown is
certainly good, the colour is injured, while the later lOWA
is coarse and grey.
"The Potatoes are all going,and the Turnip crop is ver
far from good. This will cause a large consumption 01
Oil-cake."
It is stated in a report, by Messrs. Witherby and
Hanson, upon the dried fruit market, that:—
" In the Board of Trade returns for the first six months
of 1847, Currants were the only article of grocery or
provisions which had fallen off in consumption, as COw
pared with the previous year. The consumption of the
United Kingdom in 1847 was, it will be remembered'
1,500 tons less than that of 1846, say 16,500 tons,stgainst
18,000 tons. The official returns last issued show that
the consumption has again considerably increased, that of
the first six months of this year having been 2,00,
tons more than that of the corresponding months of
1847. The increase has been principally in.the London
deliveries, which, during that period have been 4,600 tone
against 2,800 tons in 1847, and 3,100 tons in 1846,
whilst at Liverpool they have been 2,000 tons in 1848.
and 1,650 tons and 2,300 tons in 1847 and. 1846 re'
spectively."
The. Corn Market is higher again this morning for
all articles of grain.
The English Securities are depressed again, and there
is scarcely any business doing. The weather has the
effect still of depressing prices. Consols have been 85t
to 868 for Transfer, and 858 to 86/ for Account. Blink
Stock has been at 197 to 1981, and East India Stock 241.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 84 to I, Be"
the Three per Cents. 86 to 1. Exchequer-bills bee
been 27s to 30s premium for those of March.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet, and are
merely nominal. Mexican Bonds realise 168; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half .per Cents. are 448; and the Pope Per
Cents. 704. Portuguese Four per Cents. about. 20 to
21; and Spanish Three per Cents. 22.1 to 231.
The Railway Share Market has been rather flat i°
the instance of some principal :lines. North-Westernt
South-Western, Midland and South-Eastern, hale
barely maintained previous rates.
