There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpo •
yesterday, and prices were lower. Sales about 3,000 l"
including 800 for export and 200 American on speculation.
There was but little deing in Shares, and prices were
lower.
At Messrs. Lamond's auction of Railway Shares yesterday
afternoon the sale went heavily, and prices were again lower.
Still a very .fair business was done, and it is remarked that
there are always buyers, at a price, to bt found at these
auctions, for shares of every description, whilst on 'Change
they are, during many periods, totally unsaleable :—Bideford

the still further
delay that is given to the passage of the Corn-law Bill
through the House of Commons. It is now to be apprehended
that it will be the middle or the latter end of next week be-
fore the measure will be sent up to the House of Lords.
Should the same resistance be made there, an
incalculable amount of injury must be inflicted upon
the trade and commerce of the country. At the same
time it must be admitted that very many importers and
owners of goods under lock have within the last two days
cleared extensive parcels of silks, Sec., giving bond to pay
the duties, should not the propositions of the Premier be-
come the law of the land. The public sales of colonial and
other produce are in the meantime checked enormously,
which rent and charges are pari passu, hourly in-
creasing. There was a very large timber sale at
Garraway's Coffee-house, last night, but it went off heavily,
as we are informed, for the reason just stated.
There has recently sprung up a good demand for bullion
for exportation to Hamburg, Rotterdam, Belgium, and else-
where—of coin to Rotterdam alone, about 16,000 ounces were
shipped off in the week ending the 21st instant; and to Bel-
gium 1,120 ounces—of bars 44,000 ounces in the same period

Government brokers made their customary purchases. Con-
sols for Money were sold early in the morning at 953/4, but
they since advanced again to 96. This has been also the
sale value for the Account. In the Three per Cents. of
1726, there was a purchase made at 953/4. Exchequer-
bills have been done at an advance to 275. premium ; but
India Bonds have been rather heavy at 255. to 303. premium.
India Stock for the Account, is firm at 261.
Mexican Bonds have remained rather heavy at 31. This
is but a nominal quotation however. Spanish Consols are a
shade lower than yesterday, being now sold at 25% to %.
The Three per Cents. have just improved from 3614 to 36%.
In the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. sales have been
made at 59% ; and in the Four per Cents. at 9414. The
Brazilian Five per Cents. have realised 83 ; Chilian, 991 A;
and Russian at 108.
In the Railway Share market business was slack to-day.
