MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was in an
exceedingly excited state, and an immense business was
done at an advance of id. to id. per lb. About 30,000
bales were sold, including 14,000 on speculation. The
sales included 1,500 Pernams and Maranham at 7d. to Bd.,
1,600 Bahia at 7d. to 7id., 500 Egyptian at 71d. to 9d.,
4,000 Surat at 4d. to 5d., 40 Sea Island at ls. 2d. to

ls. 7d, and 22,000 American at sd. to 70. per lb.
Shares had been again rather dull.

The sale of railway shares, to-day, at Messrs.
Lamond and Co.'s, did not go oft so firmly, and the
general aspect of shares was not so satisfactory as it was
last week. The following are a few of the principal
sales :

Much disappointment has been felt in the City at the
non-arrival of the West India Mail steam-ship, now
over-due. That she has been impeded by boisterous
weather does not admit of a doubt, as there are many
other vessels from other quarters after date.
The intelligence received from Lisbon by express this
morning of the signal defeat of the insurgents by the
Queen's troops, has given much satisfaction to those con-
nected in this community or provincially with that
country. With a tranquil administration of but a few
years, there is not a doubt but this fine country would
be brought round to a state of sound prosperity.
By the paragraph which is at the head of this day's
article it will be seen that the sales of Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday amounted to 30,000 bales, of which 14,000

completion of the orders lately received from the United
States for goods, at the limits given in the advices. A
positive necessity will therefore arise for the working of
short hours, and the loss to masters and men will be
great indeed.
A considerable amount of business has been transacted
in the English Stock Market to-day. Prices may be said
to be firm. Consols have been done at 951 and 951; for
money at 954 1; Exchequer-bills at 7s. to 10s. premium;
and India Bonds under 1,0001. at 21s. premium. Bank
Stock has fluctuated from 2061 to 2074. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. command 961.
The intelligence received from Lisbon has given a
considerable degree of animation to the market for Por-
tuguese Four per Cents., which have improved from
391 to 401 for the Account, and to 391 for Money. The
Spanish Three per Cents, have been done only at 371
and 371 ; Mexican, at 22/ 4; and Brazilian, at 86. In
the other Foreign Stocks there has not been any business
transacted this morning.
The market for the Railway Shares and Scrips has
been rather firm, but without any considerable quantity
of business being in progress.
