MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales i❑clude 4,000 American,
200 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d; 250 Surat, at 2d. to 4d.;
and 40 Sea Islands at Is. to Is. 4d. per lb. The
market closed steadily.—The Share Market was quiet.
The six weeks' average price of wheat is 38s. sd. per
quarter.
The steamer Franklin has arrived with accounts of
the 20th ult. from New York. The rate of exchange on
London was 101 to 10i premium, and there have
been 800,000 dollars in specie landed from the vessel.
Moro is advised also as being about to come by other
steamers, and the Californian news is still most encou-
raging, further gold discoveries having been made.
The letters by the Overland Mail, vid Marseilles,
have been delivered. The weather bad been
unfavourable for the Indigo crop in the Ben-
gal province up to the 20th of August, but
our accounts dated September 1, from Bombay, no-
tice an abundant fall of rain, and very cheering egricul
tural prospects. The Money market was extremely
easy, and the Bombay banks had lowered their terms
1 per cent. In imports a much better business was
doing, and as the monsoon had proved satisfactory, it
was expected there would be a largo consumption of
cotton piece goods at the currant low rates, holders
having wisely pushed sales owing to the fall in the raw
material.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 30J3 ult. was
buoyant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 58 5.16;
Mexican and Spanish were higher.
The firm to which we alluded yesterday is Ezponda,
Corredor and Co. Their losses have arisen upon lead
imports, and their connexion is chiefly with Spain. It
appears there is some hope of arrangements for resump-
tion ere long.
_ _

A Swedish loan of about 300,0001 is announced, but
it is not on Government account, being for land improve•
ments. In all probability nearly the whole will be taken
at Hamburgb

The English Stock Market is exceedingly quiet. Con-
sols have been 96i to for Transfer, and 964 for Ac-
count. The premium on Exchequer-bills continues at
435. to 48s. The Paris Bourse was depressed again
yesterday._

- In Foreign Stocks very little is doing. Mexican Bonds
are 27 to I; Spanish Five per Cents. nominally 204 to
21, and the Passive 5i to Portuguese Four per Cents.
are 32k. Belgian and Dutch Securities are steady.
In a circular upon railway matters, forwarded by J. S.
Tripp and (70., we find some useful comparisons of
prices, traffic, &c., and as the public need an occasional
reminder to be disabused of false impressions, we col-
late some of them:—

Great Western... 73i 83
Great Northern ... l4i 16g.

The Great Northern is only computed upon eleven
weeks, but it will be observed that there is not a single
instance, except the Midland, in which an improvement
has not occurred. The Midland has suffered by its
competition with the Great Northern, but it has better
prospects before it. As to the future of railways in
general, admitting that the present enormous in-
crease of traffic will not be maintained after
the Exhibition closes, there are very good
grounds for the presumption that the• travelli❑g
will bo above that of the,corresponding period of 1850;
and even if this result does not ensue in the case of par-
ticular lines, the market prices are regulated in most
instances by that consideration, buyers being much more
cautious than they used to be, and much more discrimi-
nating too. From March till the commencement of
last month, prices have steadily declined, and though
they have rallied since, they are 10 to 20 per cent. lower
than when the fall began. The " calls" upon railways
have not been above half what they were to this time
last year, and have barely exceeded three-quarters of a
million sterling on foreign line.

The Share Market opened well this morning upon the
good traffic returns, but has gone rather flatter since.
There is, however, a fair business; Chester and Holy-
head have been very buoyant. Foreign Shares are
brisker.

day, are in round figures as under:—
