MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, QUARTER T(1 THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000
bales, all to the trade. The market was steady, and full
priees were obtained.
The following interesting particulars relative to cotton
were received this morning from New York :
" Much of the firmness here has arisen from our small
stock, and the high rates ruling at all the southern ports,
and, in some measure, to the continued very unsatisfactory
state of our relations with England as respects the Oregon
question ; some additional firmness also may be attributed to
the light receipts at New Orleans, Mobile, and Apalachicola,
in consequence of the lowness of the water at those ports,
and to smaller estimates of the crop gaining currency there.
A great disparity will be observed between our rates here,
and those current at Liverpool at last dates; and also with
those existing here at this date last year, which, however,
proved our lowest point of the season. We then quoted fair'
Uplands, five and five-eighths to five and three-quarters ;
freight, three• eighths of a penny; and exchange, ten to ten
and a quarter. The sales for the week ending 20th instant,
were 4,500 bales—for the week ending 27th instant, 2,500
bales—since, 800 bales.
" The movement of this staple in this country, this season,
compared with the previous two, have bees as annexed
Bales.
Receipts at ports of the U. S. since Sept. 1, 1845 587 370

Exports from U. S. since Sept. 1, 1845
do do same period last year .. 410 927
do do do year before 241 664
" It will be observed that the receipts of this season have
been less than in either of the two previous seasons, while the
exports have been about seventy thousand bales less than
last, and one hundred thousand bales less than the previous
year. The receipts at this port since the Ist instant have
been 22,000 bales; exports, 10,110 bales; taken by ship-
ment, 14,000 bales ; taken on speculation, 1,000 bales ; stock
in city, 18,300 bales; and amount on sale, 5,000 bales.
"The crop estimates have undergone some modification since
the present month set in, the weather being extremely un-
favourable for getting the balance out of the fields. We now
find but few putting the total at over 2,300,000 bales, while
holders and those favouring the shortest estimate are count-
ing on not exceeding 2,200,000 bales. At this port the esti-
mates are from 450 to 500,000 bales."

The Money Market is comparatively easy this morn-
ing. It is known in well-informed circles that full and
almost entire preparations have been made for the necessary
deposit of cash with the Accountant-General for all railway
projects that really are in a position to go before Parliament
with any chance of obtaining Bills iu the course of the
present session. The measures to be proposed to the House
of Commons to-night by Sir Robert Peel upon this topic are
looked for with deep anxiety. That new arrangements for
the conducting of the numerous projects to be submitted are
required, is admitted upon all hands; but how this is to be
done so as to consult the convenience, and we may add the
health of the Members of the Legislature, is at present a
secret.

There has been an improvement in Console and other public
securities of very nearly one-half per cent. The premium
upon Exchequer-bills also looks very firm, and money is
easy. For the Account Consols advanced from 943% to 95%,
for immediate transfer, from 94 to 94%; the Three-and a-
Quarter per Cents. from 96% to 97; and the Reduced Three
per Cents. from 9414 to 9514. The premium upon India
Bonds has reached 28s. ; India Stock has advanced from 253
to 258. The market is altogether very buoyant.
Not many bargains were made in the Foreign Stocks to-
day. Brazilian Bonds were quoted at 821/2 ; Peruvian at 41 ' •
the Five per Cent. Portuguese at 78; the Deferred Spanish
at 17; the Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Cents. at 601/8, and
the Four per Cents. Certificates at 94%
The Railway Share Market is firm for all good lines, but
business is not very satimated.
