MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were very
extensive, being over 30,000 bales, about half of which
was on speculation, and at jd, to Ad. advance, compared
with the close of last week. Holders met the demand
freely. 1,100 Maranham sold at 64d. to 71d, 200 Egyp-
tian at 7d. to Bid., 2,500 Surat at 4d. to 5d., and the
rest American at Sid. to "id. per lb. Shares were flat
again.
It will be remarked from the above that the " furor"
does not subside at Liverpool, and that combined opera-
tiens, unless some sudden rottenness is discovered among
the Bull party, will probably keep the rare staple fer a
time at least, at the present advanced rates, if it does
not even make them go higher. As to the trade, if tho
consumption of nainufactures does not sensibly increase,
they will not be found a great support to the speculators,
especially after the first " blush" is over, and they have
stocked themselves a little.

There are no late ship arrivals to-day with news of
general interest, and in the City matters are rather
quiet, the wool sales having satisfactorily concluded, and
colonial produce being offered rather sparingly. In
grain, taking the markets of the United Kingdom ge,:e-
rally, a good deal of business continues to be transacted.
The Lisbon mail, with letters to the 30th, furnishes
more of the " doings" of the Court, and tha accounts
aro of a nature rather to excite increased sympathy for

the insurgents, than hopes for the success of the Govern-
ment. The expulsion of the Duke of Palmella, excites
no small disgust here, and as to the Bank of Portugal
job, it is regarded as a mere desperate effort, at any
price, to force a large paper circulation. As to the
20 per cent. deduction from the bondholders' dividends,
despite the remonstrances of the London Committee, it
appears to have actually commenced.
The West India Mail brought letters to the Commitee
of Spanish American Bondholders, from their active
agents in the city of Mexico, Messrs. Manning and Mack.
intosh, who, we teel gratified in stating, have received from
the Ministry of Santa Anna, assurances that the conver-
sion conducted by Mr. Murphy and Messrs. Schneider
will stand good, and that the first dividend on the new
bonds is to be paid in London next January, besides an
allowance being made for the suspension in May. With
regard to the " fifth of the duties," their restitution is
not yet obtained, the treasury- of Mexico being so ex-
hausted, that Messrs. Attuning and Co. have been unable
to obtain any definite promise.
The English funds have been flat again to-clay, and
sellers preponderate, there being fewer inclined to shut.
with stock than was the case a week or two back.
Consols have been 95, and ore 95 for Money, being
951 for Account. New Three-and .a.-Quarter per Cents.
have been 961 to 96. Bank Stock is worth 2061. Ex-
chequer• bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium.
The chief business in the Foreign Market is in Mex•
jean Stock, which has risen to 23k, and 23i for the
Five per Cents. Spanish Actives have been about 261;
and the Three per Cents. 371, which are lower rates.
Portuguese Four per Cents have been at a decline from
381 to 38. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
realised 60A- to 604.
The Share Market is heavy again, but as remarked

on prevous occasions recently, sales arc not generally
pressed to any extent, and the partial reaction in prices
is more the result of a suspension of purchases. Eastern
Counties are 224 ; Caledonian, 231 ; North Stafford,
8+ 1 ; and Northern of France, 9i to 10.
