(From The Sun of Saturday Evening).
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 4,000
bales. The market is steady. The, market for Railway
Shares was gloomy, and prices were lower, with very little
demand.

Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s public sale of Railway Shares
yesterday excited particular attention, as from the indisposi-
tion of the " house' to make any prices, or buyshares at all.,
the public were unaware of the real state of things. There
was a full attendance, and prices of most Lines must again be
quoted lower. They sold more of th- established lines, as
Brighton, Croydon, Chester, and Holyhead, London and
South-Western, Richmond, Northern and Eastern Quarters,
Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, &c. &c., for which the fair
market price was readily obtained.

gate, 95.-Essex and Suffolk, Bs. 6d.-North Devon, 55.-
Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham, 11.-Oxford, New-
bury, Andover, and Southampton, ]7s.-Eastern Counties,
