MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day. Sales about 7,000 bales, of which speculators took
I,MO bales and exporters 500 bales. There was no change
in prices. Shares were steady.
By electric telegraph intelligence reached the City this
morning of the arrival of the West India mail, but the letters
will only be delivered this afternoon ; and we cannot add
anything to the outline of the news inserted in another
column of The Sun.
"The advises from India are not very interesting politically
considered ; but, in reference to the trade carried on between
India and China, and which hitherto, we fear, has been rather
too loosely conducted, the following particulars have come to
hand from Bombay respecting the movement to the close of
1844 at the three ports of Canton, Amoy, and Shanghai. The
Canton trade of 1844 considerably exceeded the maximum of
any former year, and, in particular, exhibits a large increase in
cotton manufactures and other st aple articles of British produce.
The whole import trade of the port for the year employed
306 vessels, tonnage 142,099. Of these 228 arrived under
British colours, including 22 from British India and the
colonies. Of the remaining 78 vessels, 57 were American
and 11 Dutch, leaving 10 of all other countries. This makes
the proportion of British to all other foreign trade in the
port rather more than three to one. The export trade em-
ployed 296 vessels, and of these 228 were British, making
our share of this branch a trifle larger than of the other. Of
the nature of the imports from the United Kingdom, some
idea may be formed from the statement that of their total
value, estimated at 7,860,676 dollars, 4,722,836 dollars are
put down for Cotton fabrics, including yarns, and 2,898,866
for woollens, leaving only 138,974 dollars as the value of all
other articles. The imports of raw Cotton and the other pro-
ducts of India, and the Eastern countries form an item of
7,645,564 dollars. The opium trade has also, it appears,
very much increased, but being contraband, can cnly be
guessed at. The imports are supposed to have reached the
numerous quantity of 40,000 chests, representing a capital of
nearly 20,000,000. The British exports are thus distributed
To the ports of the United Kingdom 15,400,000 dollars
British India
Other places 400,000 „

17,900,000

Our imports consisted, as we have seen, almost entirely of
Cotton and Woollen manufactures from home, and raw Cot-
ton and other articles, with Opium (contraband) from India.
Our exports, as usual, consisted of Tea, raw Silk, and Cassia.
What we took, therefore, was chiefly manufactured, and
what we brought away was almost exclusively what may be
deemed raw produce."
Since these particulars by the writer at Bombay, the trade
has received a further extension, though, we apprehend, not
altogether one of much profit to those concerned.
The Sugar Duties' plan has been an interesting topic of
remark here, but in some quarters there are doubts of Lord
John Russell's ability to carry it.
The Funds from this cause are rather flat again, and there
is not much business doing in them. Consols realise 951/,jg
for present transfer, and 95%f0r the account. The premium
on Exchequer-bills remains at 10s. to 14s. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 97% %, and the Three per
Cents. 95% to 96. Nothing has been done in Bank Stock.
The Foreign Securities have been as inert as ever. Spanish
Five per Cents. have realised 24%, and the Three per Cents.
36 to 1%. Brazil Stock is worth 85. DaLish Bonds have
been at 88%. Dutch Two-and-a-llalf per Cents. have been
marked 59%.
It cannot be expected that there should be much activity
in the Share Market while stocks are so dull, and we ob-
serve scarcely any alteration in prices requiring special
notice.
