MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(i rom Tire Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
owing to the unfavourable report from the Manchester mar-
ket. 4,000 to 5,000 bales, chiefly American, at 41Aid. to 5 Vtd.
per lb. Shares were heavy.
Shares are in fair demand at the auctions, and buyers are
found far almost every description of Railway stock. At
the public sale by Messrs. Wickham, and Co., at the Hall of
Commerce, a vast amount of business was done, and the
prices (of which we quote a few) were well maintained
throughout. Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston, 325. 6d.

The advices from New York by the Great Western notice
an easier state of things in the money market, and appa-
rently a mcre tranquil feeling in reference to political mattes.
The commerce between this country and the United States
has however already suffered materially this year, and what
is lost can scarcely be regarded. •
The value of merchandise exported from New York, for
the month of April, 1846, was as annexed :
Commerce of the Port of New York.—Value of

Exports, April, 1846. Dollars.
Domestic merchandise
Foreign merchandise, free 114,927
Foreign merchandise, dutiable 195,518

2,305,181
Specie exported 519,599

Total Export 2,828,780

It will be perceived that the value of merchandise exported
was very limited, and that the shipments of specie have
reached a very fair amount.
The position of the English Stock Market has certainly
not improved within the last day or two, and by their indis-
position to do business, as well as by their inclination to
Bear, the dealers are assisting a decline. Consols have been
9614 to 96% for present Transfer, and 964 for Account.
The premium on Exchequer-bills has been down to 18s. and
135., and, if money becomes much scarcer, no doubt the
speculators will force it still lower. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been 97 to 97%, and the Three per
Cents. 95 to 9514. Bank Stock keeps very firm at 206.
The Foreign Bonds have been very steady, but there is no
speculation going. on. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
realised 5714 ; Mexican Five per Cents. 3214; and the De-
ferred, 165 A. These are improved rates, because
the leading bondholders are endeavouring to frame
a plan in concert with the Mexican Minister and
agents for a more equitable compromise of the debt and ar-
rears of interest, and which it is hoped may lead to a suc-
cessful issue-771/2 per cent. in a new stock being offered, it,
is said, for the Active, and 65 for the Deferred, by the Mexi-
can Ambassador. There have been no bargains in Spanish.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 59%.
For Shares the demand has been limited again, and prices
are generally flat.
