- MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was stoidy.
Sales, 5,000 bales.
Railway Shares were very quiet, and prices were
ratner lower again.
There are no arrivals with late intelligence ol h.-
erest from the colon'es or other parts, and the Coat:-
I ant d advices are not important.
The Money Market is easy, and the payment of divi-
nds next week at the Bank of England will add fur-
tter to the amount in circulation. Business does not ab-
sorb much at present.
The private meeting of the railway directors, Messrs.
Glyn, Russell, and Chaplin, is exciting considerable at-
tention, and is much talked of, but the statements abroad
are, for the most part, simply conjectural. The general
intention, it is pretty well understood, is to promote
harmony and economy, and these will be material ob-
jects gained.
The Timber Market is very dull at present, and so far
particularly unfavourable for the colonists.
The reports received relative to the probable vintage
of this year abroad are generally satisfactory, and upon
the dried Fruit trade in
_Loudon we may give the fol-
lowing:—
" There is every reason to expect that if there be an
adequate supply, and prices continue moderate, the con-
sumption of Raisins will this season exceed that of the
last ; although at least a month's consumption was lost
at the early part of last season by the high opening
krice of 505., yet nearly 4,000 tons of raisins of all
inds were cleared here for consumption between the
middle of September and Christmas, or 700 tons more
than the total quantity of Valentias received at
this port during the season just closed. It is not
likely that Turkey fruit can arrive here in
any quantity till the middle or end of November,
and as there is no old fruit whatever to fall back upon
the London importers, considering especially the excel-
lent keeping quality of this year's fruit, do not seem
disposed to follow the example of Liverpool in realizing
their fruit at so great a sacrifice in price.
" The clearances at this port for home consumption
have lately fallen off considerably, having been only 370
tons from 22d ult. to the 19th inst., against 770 tons in
1847, 230 tons in 1846 (the stock was then ex-
hausted), and 410 tons in 1845. We have, however,
again to report an increase, though slight, in those
•of Liverpool, from which fact we may infer,
that the condition of the operative classes in the manu-
facturing districts is improving, and that the consump-
tion of the United Kingdom which, by the last Govern-
, ment returns, had, during the first seven months of this
year, exceeded that of " the same period of 1847, by
no less than 2,400 tons, is likely progressively to in-
crease. The falling in the consumption of Currants last
' year occurred during the period wherein it has so de-
cidedly increased this year."
The English Stock Market has been flat again this
morning. Consols have been to 86 for Transfer, and
86 to for Account. Exchequer-bills 295. to 325.

Railway Shares are heavy again, but sales are not
quite so much pressed.
