MONEY and COMMERCIAL 7,EV1rt..4.
CI7 Y, QUARTER TO THREE.

In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, the
sales were moderate, and included 3,000 bales of Ame-
rican at 41(1. to 6d. per lb. Prices were heavy, but
there was very little doing. Railway Shares improved
steadily, with a good business doing. In some instances
prices advanced again.
Emigration from Bremen in the past year has gone
on to a great extent. About 33,000 persons embarked
in 255 ships, to the United States, Texas, Brazil, and
South Australia. One hundred vessels were destined to
New York alone.
We are assured that the drafts of the North-Western
Bank of India were duly accepted by Messrs. Glyn and
Co. yesterday, and when required delivered to the
holders. The assertion to the contrary is incorrect.

At a half•yearly meeting of the proprietors of the
Colonial Bank, held this afternoon, it was resolved that
there should not be a dividend declared; that the profits
made of 22,0001 and over should go to write off bad and
doubtful debts, leaving that item at 7,0001. only.
The state of credit in the West Indies, the failures here,
and the difficulties that have surrounded the Money
Market were by the meeting held ample reasons for the
non-payment of a dividend on the present occasion. It
is most emphatically stated in the report of the directors
that, if the last Act relative to the admission of foreign
sugars be not altered very materially, the cultivation
of sugar plantations in the West Indies must cease.
There are not any later accounts received from the
colonies to-day. It may he interesting to remark that
the present condition of the Colonial Markets wears a
brighter appearance. ghe list of sales by public
auction, as announced, was very considerably added to
yesterday ar.d to-day. There is a fair prospect of business
soon becoming animated, and it is to be hoped
at more remunerative values to the holders than has
been the case for a considerable time past.
The Stock Market is still rising. Consols are 861
to 87* for Transfer, and 861 to 87i for Account. The
New Three and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 87i to
881. Bank Stock is 1921 to 195, and India Stock
232 to 235. Exchequer bills are up to 20e., and
235. premium. The purchases making are on account
of parties out of the house, but speculators are also
operating for the rise.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have been limited.
Spanish Active Bonds have been marked 191: Portu-
guese Four per Cents., 26i to 27; and Mexican, 18k.
Dutch Two-and-a-llalf per Cents. have been 541 to.
French Three per Cents. are 75, with the exchange at
25 70.

Railway Shares are very steadily supported, and in
some cases higher.
