MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The a,les of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 5,500
bales, of %bleb 500 American were taken for export, and
I,ouo on speculation. The market was steady, and closed a
shade higher.—Railway Shares were flat.
The Corn Market was steady to-day, at about the pre-
vious rates. _

The accounts from Lisbon have taken those by surprise
who were incredulous as to the chances of Saldanha's success,
but others who viewed the matter more from experience
fully anticipated this result. The issue of all this is not ex-
pected to be unfavourable. Count Thomas's Government
has proved unskilful and unpopular, and there are some hopes
that Saldanha's may be wiser and more patriotic.
The letters from New York are written in a very satisfac-
tory strain. Money was very easy, and large arrivals of gold
were expected from California. In Cotton there had been
some activity. The annexed statement exhibits the quan-
tity and value of Foreign Dry Goods, entered at this dis-
trict for cons ,inpion, for the week ending the 17th inst. : -

The advices from Nova Scotia state that the consideration
of the proposals made by Fart Grey for forming a railway
between Halifax and Quebec had heel postponed by the
Legislature, but they were expected to be adopted.
The New Brunswick Legislature has rejected Earl Grey's
proposals, but reite ate its willingness to give them 20,000/.
a year and the lands promi<ed formerly in aid of the Halifax
and (Au. bec road. This decision was quite unexpected in
England, and we apprehend that the colonies will yet repeat
it. Canada is most anxious to accede.

A treaty of reciprocity was said to be in progress between
Canada and the United States.

The new transit route, so as to enable to proceed from
Virginia Bay on Lake Nicaragua to the harbour of San
Juan del Sur on the Pac:fic, is stated to have been completed.
The English Funds continue tolerably steady, although
there is some appiehensi,in of a renewed Ministerial crisis.
Comels have been 963:1 76 for Transfer and Account. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 971/2 %. and the
Three per Cents. 96 Bank Stock is worth 2103%. Ex-
chequer-bills are 50s. to 535. premium.
In the Foreign Market there has been about an average
business doing. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 1914,
and the Three per Cents 391/2. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have remained at 321/2. Mexican Stock has been quiet at
35% to %. There is nothing later from the Republic.
Peruvian Bonds are nominally.without alterati DAnish
Stock has been quoted lu2 to 1021/2, and Russian Small
Bonds have realised 99172 %. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 5914.
Railway Stares have been comparatively neglected,
and are not quite so good. The paucity of transactions is
probably the chief cause of the depression, but when the
Exhibition is to be seen on cheaper terms, a lar er traffic
will doubtless inspire greater confidence, and stimulate busi-
ness.

The following note, dated the 29th inst., has been received
from the Secretary of the York and North Midland Com-
pany :
" I beg to advise you, that in future the transfer books of
Hull and Selby purchase,' or preference shares et this com-
pany, will e closed on the Ist day of July in e .ch year, and
the warrant for payment of the guaranteed dividend will be
issued fourteen days hereafter.
" Be pleased to consider the above permanent until advised
to the contrary."
