MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was rather dull.
Sale, 10.000 b,iles. Shares were rather heavy.
An iwportnnt sale of fors and skins has been com-
menced this m, rung at the llud,on's Bay Company's
Iloue. A system of ex:Ausiveness appears to belong
to the Corporation—most of the lots were bought in.
There were very nearly 40,000 skins and Furs
offered flq. sale.

The state of the United States money market is thus
deserabtal:—" The money market is quiet, without on
the one hand any large demand for purposes of busi-
ness, or on the other a disposition by banks and private
capitalists to loan freely. The Government have not
yet, as far as Known, made any issue of Treasury
notes, and the impres.ion seems to prevail that the
determinajon at present is to exhaust the balances
in th- banks ha-fore putting any in circulation.
Whether they will be as readily absorbed when it is un-
deritood that the Government has no other means of
paying, as they would be now while it is optional to pay
Treasury notes or money, may admit of a question.
" It is quite certain, however, that unless the
expenditures of the war have been greatly ex-
aggerated, eot only must the issue of Treasury
notes be resorted to, but tne amount authorised will
xhausted before the assembling of Congress can
give authority for additional issues. We look upon this
as highly probable, whether the war ceases or not. The
receipts from customs prior to the Ist of December can
not be expected to be large, as all merchandise upon
which the duties is reduced an 1 which is not wanted for
sale before that time will undoubtedly be warehoused.
It will not surprise us if the Secretary of the Treasury
should be compelled to issue the Treasury notes from
the commencement at the full rate of interest, or, if the
war continues, that they should fell in value so as to
prevent their issue in conformity with law, and em-
herrn: still further the financial operations of the Go-
vernment."
The Consol market has been rather heavy to-day.
The price for the Account is now at 961, and for imme-
diate transfer, 96. Bank Stock is heavy at 2081. The
premium upon Exchequer-bills has just been quoted at
21s. premium.
In Mexican and Portuguese Bonds a great deal of
business has been transacted to-day, in the former at
261 to 4, and in the latter at 45 to 46. Brazilian Five
per Cents. are at 89k.
The Share market is not animated to-day.
