MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. 7'WO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 5,500 Ameri-
can, 200 Pernam and Maranham at sd. to 6id , 100
Bahia at 5/d. to skd., and 800 Surat at 2d. to 41(1. per
lb. The market was steady.—The Railway Share
Market ITAI firmer.

The following is from the " Circular " of Messrs.
Schrceler and Mummy, dated New Orleans, Oct. 4, and
pnblished by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool :
" COTTON.—Since the date of our last review, Sept.
20th, our market has not presented the same animated
and buoyant appearance; th© heavy receipts counter-
acted the effect which the favourable accounts, per
Africa, otherwise, no doubt, would have had, and
during the last week about 16,000 bales changed hands,
at drooping prices ; the week closed with 8i for mid-
dling ; this week prices have still further declined,
under tho influence of an extremely stringent exchange
market and advancing freights, and we can give now
the quotations below, as the rates the sales during the
last Jew dap were made at. Sales of the week, 17,600
bales for the North, Groat Britain, Havre, with occa-
sional lots for the Continent.

" The demand, however, continues good from the
North, and is likely to remain fio for some time to come
yet ; there is also 'more inquiry for Great Britain and
Havre, which, no doubt, would result in larger transac-
tions but for the above-named obstacles. In the mean-
time, as this is the only open Cotton port in the United
States, all other markets being very scantily supplied, so
far orders continue to be directed here, which very
likely will prevent any further considerable decline for
some time, to come.

" The Cottons now coming in'maintain their cha•
ratter for good staple, ranging from middling to good
middling; of the finer grades the receipts are but very
limited, and such command very high prices. We find
it generally stated, that, on the majority of plantations,
the Cottons producad this year class from one to three
grades below those of last year.
" The advices from the country, with regard to the
crop, continue of the same character as heretofore, good
from the bottom and rich lands, and rather unfavourable
from the uplands. The weather, however, is all that
can be desired by planters for securing their crops, and
the pickings, from the extraordinary proportion of the
bolls being open, are unusually heavy.
" Ordinary to good ordinary, 64d. to 7id.; middling,
lid, to 71d.; good middling, Bd. to Sid.; middling fair,
tiid. to Bd.; lair, 9d."

The following report of the Indigo sales is by
Messrs. H. W. Jewsbury and Co. :—" The sale at the
commencement, contrary to general expectation, went
off much better than was looked for; and prices con-
tinued remarkably even until the tenth day,
when they gave way a little for the better descriptions;
partly in consequence of the arrival of the India Mail
bringing intelligence of a probable increase in the new
crop of from 7,000 to 10,000 maunds, and also to cause
the orders for the Russian market to be completed; this
caused less competition and prices ruled unevenly, par-
ticularly for parcels which were unsupported, when they
receded from 2d. to 4d. per lb., as compared with those
at the opening of the sale; good Madras has been in
demand at en advance of 3d. to 4d. per lb., and good
and fine liurpau at 3d. to 4cl. higher, both qualities
being scarce; the low ordinary Oudes were not inquired
after, and a reduction of 4d. to 6d. per lb. was sub-
mitted to. The chief amount of purchases are made for
export, the home trade being satitfied to buy only mode-
rately. The very large quantity sold, viz., 10,823
chests, is far above the average of the previous five
years, which gives for the October sale 7,820 chests.
The result of the sale taken altogether must
be considered satisfactory, both as regards
prices and a large quantity disposed of. Of
the quantity brought forward, it is estimated that 4,257
chests are bought in, 7,869 withdrawn, 9,263 sold, to
which may be added about 1,560 of the bought in and
withdrawn; making the total quantity sold, say 10,800
chests, of which 8,300 are for export, and 2,500 for home
use and re-sale."

To none more than to City men have the advantages
of the Great Exhibition been perceptible. The extra-
ordinary increase in the number of private and
business friends who have visited England, is
of itself calculated to foster invention, pro-
mote improvements, and extend international trade.
Whatever might hate been the misgivings entertained
in the outset, and fully participated in by the Ameri-
cans themselves, it is certain that they are precisely the
persons from whom wo have learnt, and to
whom we have taught most. An opportunity,
if any were needed, of amply testing
this feeling was afforded apparently by the proceedings
last evening at a farewell entertainment to the Ameri-
can exhibitors, by their estimable, liberal, and wealthy
countryman, Mr. George Peabody. Nor is this
the first occasion embraced by that gentleman
in endeavouring to promote kindly feelings between the
citizens of the great nations on either side of
the Atlantic. Gratifying it must be, amidst the expres-
sions of dissatisfaction inseparable from the adjudica-
tion of awards, to have heard from the lips of the Anse.
rican Minister on this occasion, that whatever others
might feel, whatever others might state, he, on behalf of
his countrymen, had nothing but gratitude to express, no-
thing but kindness to acknowledge- His Excellency
drew attention to the fact that the American exhibitors
had done everything at their own cost, and that at local
fairs, Baltimore for instance, he had witnessed a dis-
play of products that would more fully have represented
the industry of the United States. Sir Henry Belwer
seemed to confirm this view, and while giving his
opinion that the subsequent exertions made, and the
success of the grain-cutting machine, the lock-picking,
and the yacht-sailing, left no cause for regret, he de-
clared also of his own knowledge that a vast
number of articles, new to Europe, were not
sent, simply because they were so commonly used in
America as to be considered no novelty. Lord Gran-
ville avowed that the Royal Commissioners owed a debt
of gratitude to the American exhibitors for coming so
far, and the American gentlemen present, as we under-
stand, admitted that their views of the English cha-
racter were greatly and favourably changed by their
visit. It has come to pass now, as Mr. Thompson
Hankey stated, that even the policy and right working
of the Bank of England is an object of great importance
to the merchants of America. and that free trade, a
trade represented by 60 millions sterling annually be-
tween that country and England, is knitting firmer and
firmer their social and political and industrial interests.
There has been a little money stock brought to mar-
ket, and this has caused a slight appearance of heavi-
ness, although in reality there is no great change. The
new French Ministry is looked upon as a mere tempo-
rary expedient. Consols have been 97i to j-, and are
