CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, and
full prices were realised for 6,000 bales that were sold, 1,500
being on speculation. Shares were much the same.
At Messrs. Lamond's public sale of Railway Shares, yes-
terday afternoon, there was a fuller attendance, and the
Government declaration, inspiring confidence, led to larger
sales, more than 3,000 shares being taken. The principal lots
sold as follows :-Calcutta and St. George's Point, 4s. 6d.
-Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton, 10s.-Leicester, Tam-
worth, Coventry, Birmingham, and Trent Valley, 155.-
Leicester and Bedford, Bs.-Madrid and Valentia, 19s. 6d.-.
North Kent, 11. ft-Essex and Suffolk, 12s. 6d.-Waveney
Valley, 155.-Great Eastern and Western, lis.-Warwick
and Worcester, 155.-Trent Valley Continuation and Holy-
head Junction, 11. 175.-Derby, Uttoxeter, and Stafford,
11. 14s. 6d -Louvain and Jemeppes, 1/. Es.-North Staf-
fordshire, Churnet and Potteries, 31. s.-London and York,
11. Bs. 61-Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds, SL-Ipswich
and Bury St. Edmonds, Norwich Extension, 11. 155.-Bor-
deaux and Mediterranean,_ 175.-Midland and Eastern
Counties, 17s. 6d.-Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorset, IL 2s. 6d.-
London and Manchester (Remington's), 18s.-Armagh , Cole-
' rain and Portrush, 135.-Manchester, Buxton, and Mat-
lock, 21. 6s. 6d.-Chelmsford and Bury, Bs. 6d.
We have no accounts yet of the West India steamer.
In the City, most parties are preparing to enjoy the holi-
days, and business generally is dull.
The uncertainty relative to the Oregon dispute causes the
next intelligence from the United States to be anxiously
awaited, and some disappointment is experienced, that tip to
the present time we have no news of the packets due.
The Funds have been very steady, but the chief attraction
to• day is, of course, the Bank of England, where the divi.
dends are being paid. Consols have realised 961,E 14 for pre-
sent transfer, and 96% for Account. On Exchequer-bills the
premium has been 235. to 265. New Three-and-a. Quarter
per Cents. have been quoted at 96% to 97,
The Foreign Bonds are steady. Sanish Five per Cents.
25, and the Three per Cents. 36'4 to 4; Mexican, 3134 ; and
Brazilian, 81 ; Dutch Four per Cents. have realised 92 to 4.
Railway Shares are generally more saleable on account of
the extensive " wind up " which Lord Dalhousie's measure
will favour, and which to avoid the interference and scrutiny
of the official assignee, and the lodgment of the funds in his
hands, is likely to become voluntary and immediate.
