MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
• CITY, QUA IITER TO THREE.

There was a far amount of business done in Cotton on
Saturday at Liverpo(.l. Sales 7,000 bales, including
2,000 Amerieftn on srweulation. The matket is steady,
whlh.ut alteration in prices.
The grain nnoliets are stationary this morning at
A:lrk-lane. The arrivals of wheat from Kent arc very
large.

Later accounts have come to hand from the Cape of
Good Hope to-day. The details will be found i❑ another
column of The Sun.

The quarterly general meeting of the iron masters is
appointed to be held at Wolverhampton at noon to-
morrow. The state of the iron trade is one of consider-
able peculiarity. Aria' Birmingham Gazette thus re-
marks upon the subject:—
For s:nne time n want of confidence, unanimity, and
firmness lies prevailed among these gentlemen who are
accustomed to attend these meetings 01 the trade, arising
from varicui causes, one of which is the very Un-
crupulous use made of the resolutions agreed
to on such occasions by these who do not
attend. In many imstanees it has bCen the practice of
some parties to make use of the list of prices then made
one, as a sort of beacon to which they must not aspire,
hut only approach aithin a respectful distance, accerd-
ing'to their influeece and standing in the market. Thus
one will fix his price at los., another at 20s, and some.
even occasionally at 30s to 40s. less—offeritig, as an ex•
cnse, their inability to obtain customers at the same
figure as Mr. Foster, Mr. Williams, or other houses of
high standing; and as the grand tide of the march of
intellect in the present day has set in so strongly to uni-
versal cheapness, no doubt, in times when the mike of
iron exceeds the demand, a serious interference with the
customers of those who wish to uphold the prospects of
the trade will be experienced. . We are not on this oc-
casion about to investigate the other causes that operate
so injuriously upon the interests of the Staffordshire
ironmasters. That this is an evil, and a serious evil,
none will deny, and it exerts a very considerable ten-
dency to counteract the benefits that accrue from the
quarterly meetings. But we are happy to have an op-
portunity at the present moment of stating that the
nuisance is on the decline, and that in very many in-
stances this dishonourable practice is altogether
abandoned. This is the result of the ex-
isting and prospective relation between the de-
mand and supply, and we believe a greater simi-
larity has prevailed during the last month in the 'quota-
tions at which iron has been offered (if, indeed, that
term may be used with propriety when the orders of
regular customers can only be accepted) than has been
known in Staffordshire for several years. The decision
of the meeting at Dudley will have a tendency to in-
crease the unanimity and good feeling of all parties, and
we cannot but congratulate the trade in general that such
was the determination arrived at, more particularly as
any advance which may appear eligible can be so much
more easily effected at quarter-day."
The new Stock and Share Market was opened this
morning. It is in the rear of the Hall of Commerce.
Not much business, however, appeared to be in progress.
Money is. said to be increasing in value in the City
circles.

The value' of Wheat has not been raised higher to-
day than on Friday last.
It appears from the contents of almost all the letters
received from the continent this morning, that the prices
of bread and provisions are upon the advance.
The Funds have been flat this morning, with scarcely
any business doing of interest. Consols for the Account
have bcen quoted 951 and precisely the same for
Money. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is 15s.
In the Foreigh Stocks the principal operations of the
day have been in Brazilian, at 861 ; in the New ditto,
at 851; in Mexican, at 25; in Spanish. at 261; in the
Three per Cents., at 371 a; and in Dutch Two-and a-
Half per Cents., at 59i 4.
There is not any alteration of importance in the
Railway Share Market to-day. Business is slack, and
prices heavy.
