MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bags. The market was quieter, but there was no change in
prices 250 bales Egyptian sold at 61/td. ; 250 Maranham at
41/2d. to 51/2d. ; and 2,500 American at 3%d. to 6d. per lb.
Shares were dull in general.
A case was decided yesterday in the Admiralty Court,
upon a bottomry bond, in which the Learned Judge (Dr. Lush-
ington) gave some very sound advice to the owners of ships
in this country, and, indeed, elsewhere, as to the selection of
competent and trustworthy captains, put in command of
ships destined for long voyages. In the case of
the Hebe, the master, it would appear, had
exceeded his orders, but still as the representative
of the owners, the ourt was compelled to give a sentence
in favour of the bond, and with costs. The advice of Dr.
Lushington was good, and worthy of the most earnest atten-
tion on the part of the shipping interest. Very manyowners
of ships have lost largely by selecting, either through family
favouritism or fur cheapness, inefficient men, and have been
compelled to "pay the piper."
There are dates from the Cape of Good Hope to Nov. 15.
The farmers who had flocked in such numbers to Colesberg,
in order to hear the trial of two settlers, who shot a country-
man of theirs in the course of a dispute, were disappointed
of the anticipated gratification, as, in consequence of the pre-
vailing excitement, it had been found necessary to move the
proceedings into a superior court. Affairs on the frontier
were tranquil, and there was a prospect of the authorities
continuing to exercise due vigilance.
We hear nothing of the steamer from Halifax.
A considerable amount of business has been trans-
acted this morning in the British Seem ities. Consols
for the Account have just advanced from 94% to 94%, but
for Money the value has gone back from 94% to 94%, and.
the Reduced Three per Cents from 95% to 94X. Ex-
chequer -bills have run down from 295. to 235., 255. premium.
It is pretty evident that the Committees of Management of
new railway projects are directing their attention to the
realisation of assets placed in bankers' hands, so as to be ready
to pay deposits into the hands of the Accountant-General, in
accordance with the orders of the Legislature.
There was a bargain made in the Equador Bonds to-day
at the low figure of 3%. in New Grenada at 213/4, in Mexican
at 30 %, in Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at
and in the Four per Cents. at 951,4, for the Account. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. command 58, the Spanish Three
per Cents. 391/2, and Russian Five per Cents. 111%. The
settlement of the Foreign Stock account is fixed for to-
morrow. To-day many books have been very well balanced
up, and the adjustment is expected to go off well,
There has been a fair demand for the best lines of Railway
this morning, as well as for what are held to be good
scrips, but holders must meet the buyers on liberal terms, as
the qaotations will show.

MARKET NEWS _(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The present week's arrivals of Enplish Wheat have been
again moderate, while the show of samples of that article
here was quite adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers, who were very cautious in their opera-
tions, and Monday's reduced currencies were with
difficulty supported. Free foreign, as well as bonded, Wheats
commanded very little attention ; yet the quotations remained
unaltered. We had a large quantity of Barley on offer.
Selected parcels sold at full prices; but the middling and in-
ferior kinds were a mere drug, and somewhat easier to buy.
For Malt we had a fair demand at late rates. The show of
Oats being small, the Oat trade may be considered firm, yet
the amount of business passing in that article was small.
Beans, Peas, and Flour verdull.
