MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6 000 bales, of which 1,000 American and 500
Surat were take for export. The sales comprised 5 000
American, 200 Pernam and Meranham, at 4,1. to 7il;
150 Egyptian, at 60.; and 800 Surat, at 38d. to 4icl.
per lb. The market was quiet, but steady.—Railway
Shares were heavy.
The business done this week in Sugar, Coffee, and
other principal staples, has not been important, and
prices have varied but little. Plantation Ceylon Coffee
has been lower. Tea has declined for fine Imperial and
Gunpowder. Rice also is cheaper, and Saltpetre has re-
ceded. Tallow, Cotton, and Rum, have been supported.
Messrs. Walter, Howell, arid Hale, state that the stock
of all descriptions of Rum in bond at this period, as com-
pared with that of last year, shows a total decrease of
2,504 puncheons, while the quantities upon which the
duty has been paid up to the 26th August for home con-
sumption, during the last three years, shows a less con-
sumption this year, as compared with 1849, of 37,482
gallons. For Brandy the market is firm with a good
demand; stocks of young brandies, however, are heavy,
both here and at Cognac. Duty has been paid to the 26th
August each year, vie,:-1849, 640,131 galls.; 1850,
613,774 galls.; 1851, 591,793 galls.: showing a decrease
of 48,338 galls. in 1851, as compared with 1849. During
the summer months the market for Port Wine has been
quiet, but now that we are close upon the bottling season
there is a greater demand for low-priced good bottling
wines, ranging from 251. upwards, which are very scarce
in our market. The accounts from Oporto by the last
packet, hand us bad intelligence of the coming vintage ;
we regret to learn that the intense heat had dried up
and destroyed very large quantities of the grapes. With
the stock in Oporto we can ill afford to lose a great por-
tio❑ of the vintage, particularly under existing circum-
stances ; we wait anxiously for the arrival of the next
packet that we may receive further information regard-
ing the loss from this cause ; meanwhile this must tend
to make our market yet firmer for all descriptions of
good low-priced bottling Ports.
The Shipping Returns made up by the Board of Trade,
and at which we only glanced yesterday, may be thus
condensed for the month to the sth ult. :
Inwards. Outwards.

For the seven months to the sth ult. the result stands
thus:—

These are the totals of all the ships engaged in the
foreign trade of the United Kingdom, including British,
and the following are the separate monthly returns for
vessels of th© United Kingdom and its dependencies:—

The United States letters report an easier Money
Market, and express rather a confident hope that the
Government will not interfere for the Cuban prisoners,
many of whom are not Americans, either by birth or
naturalization, and all of whom are lawless invaders.
Tho Amsterdam Bourse on the 31 instint was rather
firm for Dutch Stock. The Two-and-a-Half per Cent?.
were 581 to 5-16. Spanish Bonds were surported, bat
Mexican were rather easier.

The English Funds are a little firmer to-day, but ex-
cept a few money transactions in the New Three-and-a-
Qoarter per Cents., at 98 to there has not been much
doing. Consols have been marked 96i 4 for Transfer,
and the same for Account. The premium on Exchequer-
hills has not been higher than 455. to 475. south Sea
Stock is supported at 1061.
Foreign securities have been quite inanimate. Spa-
nish Five per Cents, are flitter, being 204 to i; Mexican
Bonds have been heavy at 28 to i; Peruvian Deferred
Stock is at 43i; Dutch Four per Cents. have realised
92i 4. Portuguese Four per Cents, are nominally
to 32k.
In Railway Shares there is some improvement, but
all the lines do not participate. Chester and Holyhead
are weak, and also Aberdeen. North-Western, Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, Great Western, and South-
Western have been supported. Midland have been good.
Foreign Shares are inactive.

Mine and Joint-Stock Bank Shares have been very
,tle dealt in.

GOLD IN THE GREENLAND MOUNTAINS.—We read
a letter from Copenhagen of the 20th :—" It having been
stated that the chain of mountains which runs across the
whole extent of Greenland is composed of formations similar
to these of the Ural mountains, and that consequently there
is reason to suppose that it contains mines of the precious
metals, M. Godetroi Lund, Member of tha Chamber of Com-
merce of Copenhagen, and Sir Walter Trevelyan, an English
mineralogist, well known fur his geological explorations in
the Ferroe Islands, have sent to Greenland a commission of
Danish, English, and Norwegian mineralogists, charged to
make soundings in the mountains of that country,and in the
surrounding laud, in order to ascertain whether any indica-
tion of the precious metals exist. .This committee, accom-
panied by sixty experienced Swedish and English miners,
left Copenhagen on Monday last, in a veuel for the port of
Godthaab, in the south of Greenland,
