MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday
were 20,000 bal,s, including 10,000 American; 1,500
Egyptian ; and 1,500 Surat on speculaticn. The ad-
vance in the price of Aiwlican sorts under sd. per lb.
was about id. per lb., and in those above 5d., id. per lb.;
Egyptian and Surat were also id. per lb. higher.
Holders met freely the extensive demand. Shares were
flat.

There are late accounts from the Brazils to-day. The
most recent date is to the 16th of July. Freights more
scarce. The military operations against Rio Grande
were in active progress.
The following from New York is worth quoting:—
" The commerce.of the north and west is developing
itself with a rapidity greater than even the expe-
rience of recent years has warranted us to expect. In
1833, there were on the Lakes eleven steamers, which
cost 360,000 dollars, and which conveyed to a-id from
the lake ports 61,485 passengers. In 1834, there
were eighteen steam-boats in thee trade, which cost
600,000 dollars. In 1845, the following vessels navigated
the Lakes, above the Falls of Niagara. Steamboats
;72, 29,500 tons; propellers 8, 2,500 tons; brigs 59,
11,000 tons; schooners 270, 42,000 tons. 'Total 380,
76,000 tens. The cost of the construction of these
vessels was 4,600,000 dollars. In 1845, not less than
1,500,000 barrels of flour passed over the Lakes, and
250,000 passengers. At the present time, the com-
merce of the Lakes may be fairly estimated at
100,000,000 dollars per annum. This is an evidence
of what will to hereafter. As an illustration of the
character and extent of this commerce, we have
carefully compiled a concise statement of the ex-
ports of Buffalo eastwards, via the Erie Canal, for
the week ending Thursday, August 27th, of five leading
articles. The amounts are of flour and wheat, reduced
to barrels of flour 33,065, corn 24,287, wool 188,0001b5.,
lumber 2,000,000 square feet. The amount of tolls paid
to the State on these and other exports of produce east-
ward was 14,885 dolls. It must be borne in mind that
the third week in August is about the dullest period of
the whole season of navigation, the past year's stocks
being then nearly exhausted, and the new supplies hav-
ing yet hardly commenced to come forward."
There are no late arrivals announced from the British
colonies to-day.
Consols for Money are at 954 and for the Account

In the Foreign Market the principal variations have
been a rise in the Spanish Five per Cents. to 27i 4, in
the Three per Cents. to 384 and in Mexican a re-
action to 25k.
In the Railway Shares and Scrips the changes have
been slight this morning.
