MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
In the Liverpool market on Faturday the sales of
Cotton were 8,000 bales, of whi▪
ch 3,000 were on specula
tion. The sales comprised 6,000 bales of American at
sd. to 61d. per lb., and 1,200 Egyptian at 7id. to BF].
The market was very firm. Shares and scrip rather im-
proved in price.
It is with much regret that we have learnt this morn-
ing, that at a meeting of spinners and manufacturers
held at Ashton at the close of last week, it was agreed
for a limited time to work short hours. At Oldham
and its vicinity the principle has been fully adopted.
With weather such as that which has just set in, the re-
duction in the rate of wages wi▪ ll he a most material draw-
back upon the comforts of the labouring population,
which are not very bounteous even when the mills are
at full work. There is a feature in the state of the Cot-
ton Market at Liverpool which is rather important at
the present juncture. The rage for speculation in the
staple has fallen off very considerably, and should the
next accounts from the United States prove more satis-
factory, as respects the yield of the new crop, prices must
recede and increased activity be imparted to the manu-
facturing districts.
At Mark- lane to-day the price of Wheat has been
reduced by ls. per quarter, there having been a good
supply from the home countries. It is now pretty con-
fidently believed that prices of Grain have seen their
highest for this year at least.
There are, as yet, no later accounts from the United
States or Canada. It is very confidently believed, how-
ever, that late in the day some advices will come to hand
by the Halifax steamer, which is now entirely due.
In the Stock Exchange, the value of Consols is scarcely
so high now, as it opened in the morning. The price
for the account has ruled from 951- to 956, and for
money at 9541. The Three-and-a-quarter per Cents.
Reduced, are at 951 to 96, and the Three per Cents.
Reduced are at 931. The premium upon Exchequer
Bills is at 7s. to 10s. _

The quotation for Brazil Stock to-day, is 844, and
for Mexican 214, and j for the Account. Portuguese
are at 37k; Spanish at 264 4; the Three per Cents. at
311; the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 95;
while the Four per Cent. Certificates have advanced from
911 to 92i.
The Railway Share and Serip market is very steady
to-day. Not a great deal of business has been trans-
acted.
