MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 5,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were better, all
good scrip and stock being on the advance.
It is not an uninteresting circumstance to those who watch
carefully the progress of commerce, that the arrivals of pro-
duce have been recently very large from all parts of the
world, and that, although under ordinary circum-
stances they ought to come to a very good
market, and the demand for actual consump-
tion, were it in plenire viguer, would probably be
sufficiently large to absorb the whole, yet, from a combina-
tion of adverse causes, our merchants and importers have
long had just reason to complain of the inadequate return
upon their trading capital, and the slack business even at the
prices current. That the passing of the Corn Bill may alter
this we have fervently to hope; for matters, otherwise, from
bad will be very likely to get to worse.
The English Stock Market has been very firm to-day,
though not active, because of the attention necessarily be-
stowed upon the settlement of the Account. The continua-
tion to July has been 1% to per cent., Consols being 96%

For Railway Shares there is rather a firm market, the ac-
counts from Liverpool being more satisfactory, but the busi-
ness done is still comparatively circumscribed.
