CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 6 000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 4 500 American,
250 Petnam and Maranham at sid. to 6id.,100 Eyptian
at ad. to 64d., 800 Surat at ad. to 3id., and 180 Sea
Lland at ls. to ls. 9d. per lb. The market closed
firmly at previous rates.—Railway Shares were very
dull.
A return of the annual average Gazette price of Wheat
for the year 1850 gives the amount at 40s. 3d. per
quarter. The annual aggregate sales have been 4.688,248
quarters of Wheat. and 2 235,271 quarters of Barley, ac-
c,rding to the official returns. The prices of grain in
France, taking the annual average of the years named
has been as follows.—

Some cases of Oranges and Lemons have been re-
ceived by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, per the steamer
Item Brazil, by way of experiment; but beyond the no-
velty of an importation of the kind, the expense of
transit would militate against the continuance of ship-
ments to England.
The Corn•market is dull, Wheat being down Is. per
querter. The new samples in the market are very flue.
By the steamer Atlantic we have advices of the 6th
inst. from New York, and corresponding dates from
other places. The rate of exchange on London was
lower again, but it is not certain whether this may not
be only temporary. The state of affairs in America is
by no means satisfactory, and another great fire in Cali-
fornia comes to add to the difficulty. One party writes
from New Yurk. as unders—
" We are now uprn the verge of a revulsion, which we
fear will equal in intensity and extent that of any previ-
ous period.
" The suddenness with which the Money Market con-
tracted, and the rapidity of the contraction, produced a
panic iu the public mind, which, for a time, threatened
the most fatal consequences. The effect has not as yet
been so disastrous as anticipated, but we have hardly
yet seen the beginning of the end. Hundreds of houses
in this and tvery other city in the Union are
struggling, staggering along, like a foundering
ship at, sea, previous to pitching headforemost
to the lowest depth of the ocean. Hundreds
of merchants and speculators are at this mo-
ment unable to tell whether they will be able to preserve
their mercantile existence another week, and nothing
prevents an immediate dissolution but the hope that
some favourable change will take place in their affairs to
keep their heads a little while longer above water,"
The Canadian accounts are not quite so favourable
concerning the weather. A gold mine was being worked
on the upper waters of the River Chaudiere.
The accounts by the overland mail have been deli-
vered this more ing, sled are of an unfavourable character
concerning trade. Forced sales of piece goods were
waking at Calcutta, and at lower rates. The time of
year, however, is not one of business activity, and ere
long we may expect an improvement. At Bombay
money was very easy, and this might stimulate bu-

fitness.
The advices from China are of an unfavourable tenor
also concerning the spreading of the revolt.
The Stock markets abroad are reported to have been
very dull at the latest dates, and at Amoterdam on the
15th inst. home and foreign Stocks were all lower.
The Greek firm which stopped payment on Saturday
is Messrs. Casten Giustinani, and Co.
The English Stoek Market has been very heavy, and
there is a paucity of business. Consols have realised
961 for Transfer, and 961 for Account. The
weather having a more variable appearance may per-
haps be the c.use, but the existing dullness is more
potent. The New Three-am:La-Quarter per Cents. have
been at 98.1 j and the Three per Cents. at 97 to Id.

Railway Shares are all lower. North Western have

and most others, in proportion. Foreign Shares also
are cheaper.
