MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were from
4,000 to 5,000 bales. The market was steady, without altera-
tion of prices.
The accounts from the various parts of the country, re-
ceived this morning, and for several days past, refer to an
increased demand for all descriptions of agricultural produce,
especially for horses, lambs, sheep, and cattle. The grain
markets, also, are represented as being firm.
The mercantile letters received this morning from the
United States are, upon the whole, of a more favourable
character. The following extract from papers before us
are well worth attentive perusal, as indicating the extent of
trade that might be carried on were the corn tariff passed
into law:—

" The trade between this country and Great Britain, both
in regard to imports and exports, exceeds those from, or to,
all the rest of the world. About two-thirds of our aggregate
exports go to Great Britain and her dependencies, and more
than one-half of our aggregate imports come from Great
Britain and her dependencies. There are no other two coun-
tries in the world so intimately connected in their commer-
cial relations, or by ties of consanguinity, as England and
America, and a rupture between the United States and Great
Britain would! therefore, be more unnatural, and attended
with more serious consequences, than between any other two
nations in existence."

Sydney accounts have reached us to the 2d January last.
The wool trade was brisk there, and the markets very well
supplied with all sorts of farming produce. The Council had
been further prorogued to the 17th February by Sir G. Gipps.
From New Zealand we are informed that the natives were
tranquil at 'Wellington, and matters in other respects looked
more favourable. At Manawuta the cultivation of flax was
going on with considerable activity.
The Funds have been rather firm this morning. Consols
for Money are steady at 96%, and for Account at 96M. Ex-
chequer-bills have improved a trifle upon Saturday's pre-
mium, as also has India Bonds. Not much business, how-
ever, is going on. Bank Stock opened at 2043/, but is now
at 205. The New Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
heavy at 96%.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have just been sold at 571,1
—a rise on Saturday's rates of % per cent. The only other
bargains this morning have been in Brazilian, now at 80 ; in
Grenada, at 22; in Spanish Three per Cents., at 8634 ; in
Dutch wo-and-a-Half per Cents., at 591
%; and in the

Ths Railway Share Market is not very animated this
morning. The prices are annexed, as usual.
