MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO ThREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet,
but a fair business was done. The sales were 5,000 to 6,000
bales, including 1,000 bales for exportation. Shares were dull.
In mercantile and trading circ)es a considerable degree of
interest is felt and expressed as to the result of the motion
to be brought forward this evening for the third reading of
the Corn Bill. Most earnestly is it hoped and expected that
the majority in its favour will be so numerically influential
that the Upper House Will see that a real and determined
opposition must be futile. The commercial interests are
to a man anxious to have so important a matter settled
promptly. Ample means are there for the employment or
capital in fresh enterprises were the main points of the
policy of the Premier conceded, i.e., the passing of the Corn
Bill. A stimulus would by a such a most wished and de-
sired advent be given to trade generally, and in some re-
spects lost time in the spring trade recovered.
There are not any late r accounts from the British Colonies
of importance.
We regret to state that more than one firm has been an-
nounced to have been placed in difficulties this morning. It
is nct prudent to refer more particularly to the subject at
the present moment, as in all probability some arrangement
for the benefit of all parties may be accomplished.
It is a fact worth noticing, that within one week, wheat at
Mark lane has fallen 6s. per quarter.
Consols for the Account have been very firm at 96% Ti
