MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for ex-
port and 500 on speculation. The sales comprised about
6,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham at 60. to
7f d., 100 Bahia at 6td. to 6id., 200 Egyptian at 7 id.
to and 400 Surat at 3}d. to 4fd. per lb. The mar-
ket was steady, but closed heavily.—Railway Shares
were quiet.
To complete the shipping statistics:of the United King-
dom, given in part yesterday, an analysis of the re-
turn concerning the vessels employed in the coasting
trade may be given. The entries inwards during the
month to May 5 were 1,016,557 tons against 1,056,596
tons in 1850. The clearances outwards may be thus
arranged:—

The Arctic steamer has arrived from the United
States with a further largo amount of bullioa and ad-
vices of the 24th ult. Cotton was dull, and in flour
not much was doing. Respecting the dry-goods' mar-
ket, it is reported from New York that the total value
of foreign dry goods put upon the market during the
past week was only 439,981 dolls. No one can com-
plain of that importation. A few weeks of such inac-
tivity in this trade would reduce the monthly average
very materially. The limited quantity of goods arriving
may have a favourable effect on prices, and such a re-
sult is most desirable. The import trade this season
has by no means been prosperous, but the losses have
been pretty well distributed at home and abroad.
The Californian accounts by this opportunity are in-
teresting. From the San Joaquin valley it is stated,
" The effect of the late rains has been of the most
favourable character. The gulches in the mountain
have been well filled, and a gentleman just from James-
town says that miners who could not make 3 dolls. a
day by packing the dirt, are now earning from 6 dolls.
to 20 dolls. He says that each shower was worth a
million of dollars.
" The grass and other crops on the plain wear a very
luxuriant appearance. Mining, trade, crops, all are
looking up.'
" The recent reports from Salmon Creek and Klamath
River were more favourable. The miners are of the
opinion that as soon as the rainy season is over, they can
average 20 dolls. to 30 dolls. per day.
" A lump of pure gold, taken from Salmon Creek,
which is now in the hands of M. G. Dow, who came pas-
senger in the General Warren, weighed twenty-six
ounces.

" Provisions at the mines are said to be scarce and
high. Snow is still deep i❑ the mountains."
Parties who write from Chagres, under date of May
5, describe it as being a dirty and unhealthy, though a
busy town.
The accounts from Mexico describe General Arista as
acting with great energy, and as being disposed to oarry
out an improved system of finance, according to Esteva's
recommendations. In fact, it is asserted, that the Pre-
sidont will attend to these matters himself hereafter.
The Amsterdam market on the 3d inst. was much the
same as regards prices, Dutch Bonds being in request.
The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 57i to 15-16.
Accounts have been received at Lloyd's to-day,
stating that the Neptune steamer, from London to St.
Petersburgb, was on shore on the Swineboden, near
Hullen, on the lit inst., with six feet water in her hold.
The cargo consisted of Indigo, bale goods, &c., esti-
mated at 40,0004, principally insurtd at Lloyd's at a
low premium.

There is a very quiet market for English Stocks, but
prices are firm. Consols have been 97i to 98 for Trans-
fer and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. hare realised 98i to and the Three per Cents
97i Bank Stook is at 211. Exchequer-bills have
improved to 445. and 45,. premium.
Foreign Securities have been very variable. Mexican
have fallen to 344- and 34, on a report, as usual from
New York, of a loan being intended, but which deserves
no credence. Peruvian have risen to 86 and 87.
Spanish Three per Cents. are 40k, and Portuguese Four
per Cents. 33.

The last week's Railway Receipts ascertained up to
,his day are, in round figures, as under:—

Railway Shares have been very dull again and gene-
rally lower. The Ascot races have caused many parties
to absent themselves.
