MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The San of Lase Night.
The sales of Cotton afLiverpool yesterday were 6,000 bales, in-
cluding 500 on speculation, and 500 for export. The market was
rather flat. American sold at 334 d. to sd; Egyptian at 5%d. to B%d. ;
Surat at 2%d. to 3%d. ; and Pernamat 5%d. Shares were dull.
Messrs. Lamond's sale of Railway Shares was well attended, but
prices ruled very low, and exhibited no improvement, although more
purchases were made Irish North Midland, 145.-Churnet and

A most Anxious desire is expressed in the City for the termination
of the debate upon the corn-laws-commercial operations will con-
tinue at a stand still until the whole matter is settled. In the various
docks on each side of the river Thames, an immensity of all sorts of
produce awaits but the fiat of Parliament, to be taken immediately
the tariff is settled, for home consumption.
Accounts, of Dec. 27, from the Cape of Geed Hope, state that the
Natal district was still being thinned by emigration, but that the new
Lieutenant-Governor was expected to take measures that would
satisfy all parties, and protect the farmers who remained behind.
A considerable amount of business has been transacted in the
Public Securities this morning. This is the settling day in Consols,
and a vast amount of business has been transacted. Consols for
Money have advanced from 93% % to 96%, and for the next Account
from 96 to 9634. The continuation therefore shows that an opinion
is entertained that prices will further advance. For temporary a-
po,.es cash has been in demand, and sales of Exchequer-bills, earl} in
the morning, reduced the premium to 355., but since a rise has taken
place to 38s. India Stock has advanced to 261, and Bank Stock to
209%. The Government brokers have bought largely to-day.
In the Foreign Stocks the business done has beets very trifling.
Colombian ex Venezuelan have improved to 52 ; Grenada to 23.
Mexican are worth 3134 ; Peruvian, 38; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
58% ; Spanish Five per Cents., 2734 18 ; :anct the Dutch Four per
Cents., 95% %•
The Birmingham and Gloucester Shares have been in request at
25 premiam ; the Edinburgh and Glasgow at 22 premium ; the
Great Western have improved to 67 premium, awl most of the other
Shares have a firm aspect.
