MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 600 American and 120
Egyptian were taken on speculation. The sales com-
prised 4,400 American; 600 Pernam and Maranhane, at
'Sid. to 81-d.; 400 Bahia, at 71c1. to Bid.; 1,700 Egyptian,
at 7id. to 84d.; 600 Surat, at 34d. to 5d.; and 20 Sea
Island, at Is. 2d. to ls. 6id. per lb. The market was
firm, but inactive.—Railway Shares were buoyant, and
prices had an upward tendency.
Messrs. Baumann and Wunsch, of Glasgow, write,
concerning the trade of that city, as under:—
" We have scarcely any change to report in the state of
our market during the last month. The prices of all
our staple articles have been steadily maintained at pre-
vious rates, and although we hear many complaints of
x.d dull trade, we are convinced, nevertheless, that a steady
and satisfactory business is doing, and is only less ap-
parent becaut e distributed into different channels.
" The various tables of import and consumption of
Cotton Wool during the past year, as published by the
Liverpool houses, show that even such extravagant
prices of the raw material as have been submitted. to
' have not materially checked the consumption of Cotton
Wool, while our exports, including the first month of
the present year, show a large and regular increase, as
compared with former years.
" With the example of the past year before us, and
with the p ospect of a more plentiful supply of the raw
material, if not from the United States, at least from
all other quarters, we fear not but that, even in the or-
dinary course of trade, we may look forward to steady
and remunerative employment for our artizans. But
the visit of so many foreign buyers as will be attracted by
the Great Exhibition must unavoidably have an influence
in increasing our exports beyond the usual proportion,
for it is within the experience of every one engaged in
business, that personal communications tend tar more
than any correspondence could do to increase transac-
tions, and more particularly so when the selection of
goods depends so much upon tho intimate knowledge of
the tase and wants of the various markets, which we may
expect our foreign visitors to possess.
x.d " Much time and attention has been given by our
x.d manufacturers, during the last month, to the comple-
tion of their arrangements for the forthcoming Exhi-
bition. Various novelties, from the lowest priced cot-
ton handkerchief up to the most costly shawls, have
59 % made their appearance, or are still in progress, and
so far as we have been able to judge, most of the
productions are of the most practical character, and
such as could be repeated at any time, and in large
quantities."
The Bombay letters to the Ist ult., per Overland
Mail, advise continued tightness in the Money Market,
% and dulness of trade in consequence. The Commercial
Bank was a loser by the failure of Messrs. D. and M.
x.d Peatonjee, but not to a serious extent.
At Amsterdam on the 2d inst. Dutch Two-and-a-
-t x.d Half per Cents. were 57i and at Frankfort Austrian
Metallics were 73:,1 to 74, Spanish Threes 33g.
The English Stocks have been very quiet again, but
the quota-Sons are firm. Consols have realized 96i for
Transfer and Time. The temporary arrangements for
the continuance in office of the Whig Ministry excite no
fluctuation, having been anticipated. The New Three-
12m x.d and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97i to 98, and the
tat

bench, the Lord-Lieutenant, and the Home Secretary. The
matter then dropped.
