The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken on
speculation. The market was firm at previous rates.—ln
Railway Shares a fair business was done at higher prices.
The Corn Market has been steady at previous rates.
Upon the state of the Manelitttiter market we have the fol-
lowing information from Mr. G. F. Maudley :
" The business of the past month, as well as the range cf
prices, has been very irregular. During the first fortnight
extreme langour prevailed, and operations were few and
limited in extent. Several causes combined to produce this
inactivity. The aspect of the Cotton Market was drooping
—more sanguke estimates of the ultimate yield of the crop
were entertained—and buyers of yarns and goods were dis-
posed to hold aloof, in the expectation that an important de-
cline of value both in the raw material and textile fabrics
was on the eve of being established. Some apprehension of
a higher rate of interest obtaining in Lombard-street,
and rather discouraging accounts from Bombay, were
also amongst the causes influencing the depression in
this market. Under these conjoint circumstances both
Yarns and Goods declined, for although stocks continued to
be light, yet so large is the production of this district that
against a lull of three weeks in demand, prices cannot be
supported. Within the last few days the Cotton Market has
rallied, and in the meantime some of our leading staples
having (as I anticipated in my last circular they would)
declined to a more reasonable level, there has been a greater
disposition amongst buyers to operate. In 40-in. G. E.
Shirtings, in which a decline of lid. to 9d. per piece had
taken place, some very fair operations have been done both
for India and China, and with the further effect of giving a
decided firmness to the tone of holders, and an encourage-
ment to demand a rise of 3d. per piece on the previous de-
cline. The feeling of the market is decidedly more cheer-
ful, and the aspect of the future more encouraging than at
the date of my former report."
The mail from the United States has not yet arrived. The
Mexucan mail is due on the sth inst.

The advices from the Continent are generally satisfactory
in regard to the condition of the Money and Stock Markets ;
but trade does not appear to be very active. It could hardly
be expected, however, that there should be much doing at
this season, unusually mild as the winter appears to have
been.

The communication made by M. rravo Murillo, through
Mr. Weisweller, to the committee of Spanish Bondholders in
reply to the resolutions passed at the recent tnee ing, is by
no means satisfactory, and if we were to acquiesce in the
assumptions of the Ministers there would be at once an end to
further hope of an improved arrangement. The Minister
starts with the broad avowal that justice and right are not to
be considered, and that the question of payment must be con-
sidered al ne in regard to the ability of the country.
At first sight the dictum may appear re isonable enough, as
no one would deny the inutility of appealing to principles of
equity for the enforcement of demands which the debtor has
no means of satisfying, but it is precisely upon that the
difference of opinion will arise, and those best acquainted
with Spain, and cognizant, not alone of the rapid strides she
has already made, and the vast improvement in her revenue
since the civil war, but sanguine of the further pro-
gress which in course of years may be anti-
cipated, believe that honour and justice may well
be brought to bear, and that fair promises may be made for
the future, however modest be the offers for the present.
The terms which the foreign creditors solicit are so reason •
able, and the time which they allow to Spain to mature its
resources is so extended, that we feel surprised at the men-
tion of an objection by M. 'Murillo. Between a Minister en-
tertaining such views, and a committee so tardy in its move-
ments, we much fear that the bondholders are doomed to
wait yet some months bef,re they will have the gratifica-
tion of seeing their claims placed in a fair train for set•
tlement.

Although there is not a large business doing in the Eng-
lish Stock Market, prices have been firmer, and there seams
to be increasing confidence that the Ministerial crisis will
shortly terminate. Consols for Transfer bring 9614 to
and for Account 9644 IA. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents, were marked 9-:3/4 to 99. and the Three per
Cents. 97 to %. Exeiequei-hills are quoted 475., and India
Bonds 5 is. premium. East India Stock has been quiet
at 264.

A larger business has been transacted in the Foreign Mar-
ket, and Mexican Stock is very buoyant, in anticipation that
the mail due in a few days may bring some news of interest
from M. Falconnet, and perhaps an instalment of money
from the tobacco duties. The quotations have been 34i to
34k. Peruvian Four. and-a Half per Cents. have been
buoyant at 82a to 83, and the Deferred at 37 to Equador
Bonds are 31, and Buenos Ayres 55. Spanish Three per
Cents. are marked 38. and the Five per Cents. 194, being
flatter; the Passive Stock is at 4i. Portuguese Four per
Cents. have been marked 334 Russian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been at 97k, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 584 to
A very large amount of business has been transacted in
Railway Shares, and the quotations have generally advanced.
Further orders have been received from the country, the re-
sult of the increased confidence felt that the political crisis
will speedily be over. Great Northern have risen %, Great
Western %, South-Western IA to 1, Midland and others in
proportion, but there is a good deal of fluctuation, and some
parties are taking advantage of the rise to secure their profits.
