MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The market
closed firmly, and American of all descriptions were id.
per lb. higher than Friday last. On 3id. and 4d. Cot-
tons the advance is id. per lb.—Railway Shares were
heavy, at rather lower prices.
The express with the overland letters has arrived, and
her commercial advices are not very favourable. At
Calcutta no particular change had occurred in the Pro-
duce market, nor was there any important alteration in
the Money market. The former rates of interest were
maintained, and it was considered that it
would be desirable if they could be reduced.
The rate for bills on Landon was higher,
viz., 2s. lid to 2s. lid. No improvement had
occurred in the Import market; indeed it was reported
to be worse. Piece goods bad declined 2to 3 annus per
pieee, and an active demand was not expected for some
months. Glasgow goods were very abundant and cheap.
Touching the Indigo crop, the advices are also un-
satisfactory, but for that, like the cotton reports, we must
make allowance. and receive them with due reservation.
A remarkably fine manufacturing seaso❑ would, it is
stated, be rt quired to bring the total out-turn to 100,000
maunds.

The Bombay Money market was dull, and cash was
very abundant. In imports i o alteration of importance
had occurred, and cotton goods were neglected as usual
at that season of the year. The rate of exchange was
2s. lid. to 2s. lid. pct. rupee.
Tne intelligence from the Continent is not of general
ititt-rest. In the Amsterdam Stock market, on the 27th
inst., there was a ry unmated business done in Spanish
Five per Cent. Bonds at higher Li, ices, but not much is
other Spanish Bonds. Portuguese stock was better.
Austrian was rather more offered.

Ile state of the weather has been an object of solici-
tude with many, but there are gratifying reports from
the agricultural districts gene-rally, and the heavy rains
of last week have done no injury, although in particular
districts the grain has been laid. Fine bright sunshine
would place the crops in safety, and materially improve
the position of the country.
The English Stock Market has been very firm, and
the quotations have been rather steady, tending upwards.
There is not, however, much business doing. Consuls
have been 961 for Trsusfer, and are now 964 4. Time
bargains have been effected at about the seine rates.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been at
984 to 99, and the Three per Cents, at 974 to 4. Bank
Stock has been supported at 215.4. to 2164. Exchequer-
bills have been rather flat at 475. to 50s. premium.
In Foreign Securities the dealings have been limited,
but prices for the most part have been steady. Mexican
Bonds have been 3u4, and Brazilian 91 to 4. Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have been marked 344. Spanish
Five per Cents. are 214 4, and the Three per Cents.
384 4. The Passives have touched 64. Russian Bonds
have been 1014, and Dutch Fuur per Cents. at 934.
Railway Shares are very quiet, and at about yester-
day's values.
