MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(Frain The San of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were again
large—about 700 bags—of which 1,000 were taken on specu-
lation. Prices were firmly supported.
There are no arrivals in the City to-day, and the state of
matters generally is very quiet.
The Funds have not rallied from yesterday's quotations,
and except in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., which
have been marked 96% %, there has not been much doing.
Console are 9558 3A for present tramster, and 96 for time,
though almost nominal. Bank Stook has boen firm at 205
to 206. Exchequer-bills have been marked 19s. to 21s. prem.
The Foreign Stocks have been for the most part a shade
lower than yesterday, but we can quote no decided alteration.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 25, and the Three per Cents.
about 363 1,2. Mexican are flat at 3114, and Braziliaii at.
811/? to 82. French Five per Cents. are 119 25, with the
exchange at 25 80. Russian Bonds are 111.
The Share Market has been dull, and the chief business out
of doors has been in buying up scrip where there is a chance
of receiving back more of the deposit than will cover the
amount laid out in the purchase.

WINDINGS-UP.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
MIDLAND, BARNSLEY, SHEFFIELD, DEWS-
BURY, LEEDS, AND BRADFORD RAILWAY.
At a meeting of shareholders in this scheme, con-
vened by order of the executive committee, and holden
at Dewsbury, on Wednesday, April 15, " to advise as to
the best means to be adopted in prosecuting the undertak-
ing," a resolution to this effect was moved by a share-
holder and seconded by Mr. Bates, of Bradford, where-
upon an amendment was proposed by Air. Watts, of
Dewsbury, and seconded by Mr. Sutcliffe, of Hudders-
field," That the undertaking be given up, according to
the conditions of the Bill proposed by Sir Robert Peel ;"
which amendment waa carried by acclamation.
Three reporters attended from different newspapers,
but were not permitted by the committee to enter the
room ! However, the cool, calculating shareholders
have shown that they, at any rate, can read the signs of
the times.

NORTH AND SOUTH JUNCTION.
A meeting of the shareholders for the immediate
winding-up of this scheme was held in Huddersfield the
same day, and a resolution was passed to petition Par-
liament to stay all further proceedings.
The shareholders in the Manchester, Hudders-
field, and Great Grimsby Line are to meet at Doncaster
on Wednesday, the 22d April ; and there is no doubt
that most of the new lines will be given up, for not one-
third of the shareholders could pay up the calls, and
many wol4l4ineTitablY be milled,
