MONEY and LOMMLE-CIAL NEWS

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 8,000 bales, of which 400 Surat were taken for export, and
1,200 American and 200 Brazil on speculation. The sal,.
comprised 6,000 American, 500 Pernam ,and 111aranham a
Bd. to 8%d., 150 Bahia at 7341. to 81/(3d , 300 Egyptian a.
710. to 83gd., 800 Surat at sd. to 53/40.,, and 3u Sea Island
at Is. 7d. per lb. The market was firm, and American were
14d. and Surat lifid. per lb, higher.—Railway Shares were
fiat. •

The quantity of Wheat sold in the provincial markets
which make official returils Was last week 78,216 qrs., and
of Barley 71,328 qrs. The 6 weeks average price is 373. 94.
' The Colonial Markets are exceedingly )ieavy on account of
the continuanCe of the political crisis, and to-day there is but
one public sale of any moment, viz.; of Coffee: In other de-
partments of business the operation of the same causes is also
exceedingly injurious.

What the packet service of this kingdom costs the public is
indirectly felt, but not perhaps generally known.; The mercari-'
tile community have, however, a keener appreciation of the
matter, for they consider that more Might be got for the money,
and defectiveas are the arrangements in connexionwith the era-
'ployrnent of ber Maje'sty's ships of war.and the steamers Of
the Honourable East Company, there is good reason to con-
clude that even the contract service might be greatly im-
proved, without the expenditure of a farthing beyond the
amount atiresent
_paid, viz., 727,_42_51. At least such is the
!Mtn required for the service of the year 1851-2, being
an increase of 'nearly 100,KO1. over the last vote
for.the financial year Ikso-1. It appears that the items of
increase are 25,0001. for the conveyance of mails by steam
vessels to and from Holyhead and Kingstown. This service
has been badly performed, it is said, by the Government
vessels, and we presume the change is desirable. For the
service between Callao and Valparaiso 5,0001. additional
are charged, and 30,7 01. are added for the new route to the
Cape ;of Good Hope. The expenses of the Queen's vessels
employed in the packet service are reduced this year from
_134,946/. to 82,0711., so that the total vote this year will be
809,496/., against 764,2361. last year.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 25th inst. states
that no chadgi of importance had occurred in Public Secu-
rities, home or foreign. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were 57 11-16.

' The Banker's Magazine for the ensuing month sums up the
condition of the Money Market, for the month now drawing
to a cloSe, in the following.terms;--
• "We have to report; on the whole, a steady and quiet
month in the Stuck and Money. market. The Ministerial
crisis, which commenced on Friday, the 21St Feb., inst., has,
of course, materially disturbed the previous state of things.
In France, the state of parties appears to be much more set-
tled ; and the aspect of foreign politics generally is favour-
able. Our own foreign exchanges are gradually recovering
themselves, and, throughout the month, the supply of capital
'has been quite equal to the 'ordinary requirements of
the market. On each court day (Thursday) at
the Bank of England, ,there have been strong
rumours on the Stock Exchange of the intention of the di-
iectiiis to again raise the rate, of interest, but so. far these
statements have not been fulfilled.

" The Bank have made no further alteration in their
rate of discount, which therefore, at 8. per cent.
per annum ; and the figures in the returna certainly indi-
cate. that during the month the action of the public upon
the Bank has been very feeble; for we find that the private
securities have on the whole diminishedt - and that the bullion
has ,increased., eased.

" Out, of, doors, the rate of disCotint is about 3 per cent.
et inllniu fur. good , mei:eantile but with a shyness of
long paw.. The brokers give 214, ~to, 2% for money at call,
and,,in some,quarters, an anticipa-tioniprevails that the notes
will be higher before the April dividendsi
"In the Railway Share Market, there has been a large
business and good prices. The half-yearly meetings gene-
rally pass of well, and, on the whole, the prospects of railway
property are favourable."

The Bank of England intends to grant loans upon Stock
lend Eichequer-bills, at the rate oi 2} per cent. per annum,
until April 15.

ThQ Stock Market is as dull as for some days past, and
until some more definitive conclusion can be arrived at, at to
the future Ministry, no particular animation is to be looked
for. One thing is certain, viz., that any attempt to revive
the agitation for protection will be exceedingly injurious to
the status of the Funds. Consols have been 96% to 14 for
Transfer, and 961,4 i to for Account. Exchequer bills have
been quoted 465. to 50s. premium, andlndian Bonds Ms. to
655. premium. •

The arrangements for to-morrow's settlement in the
Foreign Market have been in progress. Mexican have
varied from 334 to 33X. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been quoted 82%. Portuguese Four per Cents.
are 331% Brazilian Old Bonds have been quoted 92. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 58%.
Railway Shares have been lower this morning, rather one-
rous rates of ".continuation" being demanded for carrying
over, but at present the market is looking isp again, and the
quotations of the Great Western and other leading shares are
above the rates given in the 'vfficiallist below, say by
abltit 105. . • •
