CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales, 5,000 bales. Shares were still less buoyant than
they are in the London market.
The week's sales of cotton are 48,700 bales, and the
stock at Liverpool is 930,000 bales.
There are no later accounts by ship arrivals from
foreign parts.
The sale of railway shares, yesterday, at Messrs. Lamond
and Co.'s, was well attended, and a large business was
done at rather advanced prices. The following are a
few of the principal sales ;

An extraordinary instance of quick passages by a
sailing vessel seems to be that of the Deogaum, Leitch
commander, which arrived out at Calcutta from the
Clyde in ninety-one days. She made three voyages
between these points in a period of 355 days, having
sailed for her first voyage on the 22d September, 1845,
and arrived at Calcutta on her second voyage, Septem-
ber 13, 1846.

The Stock Market, although there is not much doing,
looks decidedly better to-day, and there is a rally in
Consols. of Ito I per cent. The fact is that up to the
present time no particular reason has been given for
the sudden and special fall that occurred on Thursday,
because the aspect of political affairs generally should
rather have led to a previous and gradual declension,
whereas there was actually an advance. Consols have
been 94/ /1 for present transfer, and 94i
for Account. Exchequer-bills were at Bs. to 1 le. pre-
mium. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents.
realised 95i i; and the Three per Cents 93i. Bank
Stock has been a little better, viz., 2041 to 2051.
The Foreign investments have been nominally at
rather fuller rates, but the transactions are wholly in-
significant. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 254 to
26; the Three per Cents. 37; and Portuguese Four per
Cents. 39+ ; Mexican Active Bonds have been at 22 ;
Dutch Four per Cents. are 92.
The Scottish lines have been in favour again, as the
North Western has leased them as far as Perth, and is
now expected to take up the Aberdeen. Birmingham
and Oxford are down again. The Freneh lines have
been rather more dealt in, at about previous rates.
