MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. Sales from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of vi hich
3,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The
market closed firmly.—ln Railway Shares a good busi-
ness was done, and prices advanced for all the princtpal

It is stated by Messrs. W. Howell and Hall, that a
scarcity of Sherry wine is the result of the present
year's vintage at St. Mary's and at Xeres. Some parties
had not obtained above oae-sixth of their usual average.
The quality is spoken of as being good. There is no
stock of low-el iss wines. Ot Port wine we have, from
the same source, the following interesting p,rticulars:—
" The position of our Port wine trade is singular—we
are now feeling the inconvenient effect of the sacrifice of
the old tawny wines which were forced for sale under
the public hammer some three years since; both here
and in Oporto old wines of fine quality are scarce. We
have every prospect of wines of this description for the
next two years becoming more vain ible to the shipping
and bottling houses. The stock in Villa Nova on the
30th September gives but 72 928 pipes, to which no ad-
dition can be made until atter the issuing of the 13ilhetes
in March, 1852. From this small stock deduct six
months' exports, say 12,000 pipes, which will have to be
deducted before any addition ca❑ be received, so that it is
probable that on the Ist April, 1852, 60,000 pipes only
will be in the hands of the shippers and the speculators,
a quantity being evidently less than it has been for the
last twenty-fire years. We believe there remains here
of good direct Ports about twelve months' consumption,
while in Villa Nova the stock is much reduced, and it is
expected there will not be more than, say, 11,000 pipes
remaining in the open market for the supply of future
demands for export, in addition to the 50,000 pipes held by
the shipping houses as necessary for their general trade.
There is an increase of stock in London on the Ist No•
►ember, 1851, compared with 1850, of 3,947 pipes; this,
however, includes under the denomination of port, all
the importations of blended wines from Hamburgh,
Channel Islands, &c. Of this year's vintage ge learn
the excessive drought had caused many persons to be
apprehensive that a great part of the grapes would not
be fitted for the press, but the vintage having been con-
cluded the quantity has been found to be scanty, the
quality approved of, and resembling as far as can be at
present ascertained the vintage of 1834."
A statement is quoted to show the production of wine
in Australia, and from this it appears that 46,216
gallons has been obtained, though during what period is
not mentioned. Cumberland, Camden, and Maitland,
were the producing districts.
The changes in the position of the Bank of England
during the week to the Ist instant were of minor inte-
rest. The circulation was lessened by an increase in the
amount of the public deposits, and a re-payment of ad-
vances upon Securities. The bullion received a further
slight addition. Compared with the previous week the
principal changes are these :

The letters from Manchestvr report a trifling improve-
ment in business this week, but at Leeds and Leicester
trade is still dull.

The exports of bullion direct from London during the
week, to last Thursday, comprised 247,650 ounces of
silver, and 1,841 ounces of gold.

The Stock Market has been extremely quiet, and
prices aro scarcely so good, Consols having ranged from
97-i- to 98k for Transfer, and from 98 to 1,1 for the settling
cliy. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents have
been 981 Exchequer-bills are 51s. to 545. premium,
and India Bonds 595. premium.

and prices are steady. Mexican have been 25 to 1, and
Peruvian Five per Cents. 87k. Danish Bonds have been
supported at 1011 to 1021 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 102 to 4; and Dazch Two-and-a• Half per
Cents. at 58,i. Spanish Five per Cents. bring 20 to 1,
and the Three per Cents. 39 to Venezuela Stock

profit.

Railway Shares have been at full prices generally
but with very little doing.
