MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
about 5,000 bales, comprising 3,000 American; 200
Pernam and Maranham, at nels to Sad.; 200 Bahia,
at 711. to Bd.; 200 Egyptian, at Bd. to 81d.; and 500
Surat, at qd. to sid. per lb. The market was heavy,
and American under 71d. were lid. to id. lower. In
other kinds there is a downward tendency in prices.—
Railway Shares were active and prices looking up.
In a statement respecting the wino trade, Messrs.
Walker, Howell, and Hall, mention that the stock of
Port in band in London on the Ist instant was 13,072
pipes more than at the corresponding date of 1850.
They also describe the 1850 wines as possessing excel-
lent body, good colour, flavour, and dryness, without as-
tringency. The total production is 85,345 pipes, in-
cluding 34,226} pipes of first quality for Europe, and by
the last advices the stock of wines was hardly sufficieet
for three years' average consumption, being 137,228
pipes. The average exportation is about 40,000 pipes
per annum. Old wines, it is therefore predicted, will
continue high, and speculation will continue in new, as
nothing but the prospects of a fine and abundant vintage
during the present year can afford relief. Of brandy the
stocks are large, and the consumption has fallen off.
There are some facts in the recently completed annual
report of the London East India and China Association
that are worth bringing more generally under notice.
The now system of drawing bills adopted by the Hon.
East India Company is working well, and will wholly
supersede, it is hoped, the advances upon the hypothe-
cation of goods. The Canton Post-office regulations
continue unsatisfactory. The chicory and bean adulte-
' ration is of course dwelt upon as being exceedingly in-
imical to the interests of the East India trade; the tea
duty, it is urged, should be reduced is. lid.* per lb. as
soon as possible, end exertions made to place British
commerce at Ningpo,Yoo-Chow-Foo, and Siam, on a more
satisfactory footing. 'o these matters Lord Palmerston
is turning his attention. We are glad to observe that
the tonnage employed in the East India and China trade
increased inwards 36,000 tons last year, and outwards
40,000 tons, and we may conclude our notice of the very
useful labours of the association, by giving part of a
communication addressed to Sir Charles Woud in favour
of a reduction in the duty on black pepper, which could
be favoured, no doubt, without loss to the public re-
venue. The argument is that—
" In 1833, by the 3 and 4 William IV., cap. 56, the
duty was Is. per quantity entered for home
cur sumption 2,228,393 lbs. That rate of duty was
in 1845, by tke 8 and 9 Victoria, cap. 90, reduced to 6d.
per peund, e‘nd in the subsequent year, 1846, the quan-
tity increased to 3,297,431 lbs.; since which there has
bean very little alteretien ; the consumption for the year
endirg January sth, 1850, beleg 3,257,746 lbs., showing
that is has nut kept pace with the increase in the popu-
lation, owing probably to a continuance of the practice
of adulteration which the high duty still encourages.
That duty of 6d. per pound must be considered exces-
sive upon an article which sells in bond at the present
moment for Sid. per pound, being nearly two
hundred per cent. on the sale price. The cost
of pepper on the :Malabar coast is about 2d. per lb., to
which are to be added shipping charges, freight, and
landing expenses, until warehoused here, and any quan-
tity can be obtained to meet an increase in the home
consumption were the duty considerably reduced and the
commodity brought generally within the means of the
large population of the United Kingdom. The quan-
tity imported from India in 1848 and 1849 was
12;921,624 lbs., whilst in the latter year the re-expor-
tations of that not taken for consumption amounted to
4,712,4411b5."

The payments last year by order of ull the courts in
the kingdom for dividends on bankrupt estates amounted
to 666,995/., and there was on the Ist January, 1851, a
net balance in stock on the Bankruptcy Fund Account of
1,4505,8191

Intelligence to February 2d, from tho Cape of Good
Hope, per screw steamer Bosphorus, gives ground for
strong hope that the Kafir war will be much leas pro-
tracted than was at first apprehended.
In the Amsterdam market on the 11th inst. the funds
bad again a downward tendency, Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were 57k.
English Stocks have been firmer again, and the Cape
news affords encouragement. Consols have realised 961
to * for Transfer, and 961 to 4 for Account. There is
very little doing. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 99 to k, and the Three per
Cents. 97*. Exchequer-bills have realised 555. to 5Gs. pm.

Railway Shares are generally firm, although the traffic
returns on several of the lines are rather worse. Aber-
deen, Caledonian, East Lancashire, Great Northern,
Brighton, Blackwell, Newmarket, and several others
haw risen. Foreign Shares are also better.

LAUNCH OF A 1,000 TON SUIP AT SUNDERLAND.
—Last week was launched another of a line of Indiarnen,
nearly 1,000 toss new measure, built by Mr. William Pile,
jun., North Sand, and called the Chovrringhee, the property
of John Hay, Dq., of Cresswell-house, near this town.. She
is the longest ship by five feet ever launched into the Wear.
She is nearly 170 feet keel and rake ; 32 feet extreme breadth
22 feet deep in hold; is 13 years A 1 at Lindy 's, and fastened
with iron knees. Some idea may be formed of this by the
weight of the iron knees being 60 tons, exclusive of the bolts,
which are all copper. She has been built under the special
survey of Lloyd's surveyor,
