MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12,000 bales, of which 500 American and
1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 500 American
and 2,000 Surat for speculation. The sales comprised
6,000 American and 600 Pernam and Maranham, chiefly
at 6d.; 450 Surat, at 2d. to 31d.; and by auction 1,800
ditto, at 2d. to 3d.; and 40 Sea Island at ls. 4d. to is.
Bd. per lb. The market was well supplied, and closed
tamely at previous rates.—Railway Shares were firm at
higher prices.
The supply of the principal staples has been good
again this week, but holders are rather firm both for
Sugar and Coffee. In Spices, Tallow, Indigo, and Co-
chineal, a fair business has been done, and Cotton,
though quiet, has been held better.
In a report from Manchester, by Messrs. McNair,
Greenhow, and Irving, the state of the piece-goods mar-
ket during the month is thus described:—
" Altogether the outward appearances of this market
would appear to be assuming gradually a character so
materially different to its actual and practical condition,
that, however honest and well-intentioned the issuer of any
trade report may be, his statements of actual details
must assume a questionable character in the opinion of
some at a distance, who are unacquainted with the loca-
lity in which we live, and its real workings, influences,
and tendencies.

"In the face of the characteristics to which we have
alluded, an abiding sense of duty and of conviction
obliges ns to report the existence of a large amount of
business having been transacted during the present and
closing month, notwithstanding the external features,
which have been of a very dull, declining, inanimate,
end cheerless form.

" The low prices prevailing ten days ago for India
cloths and yarns induced very considerable purchases,
which have had the effect of not only removing any ac-
cumulation of stock generally, but of placing many
manufacturers and spinners again under contract. As
you will have perceived, the decline in prices has
reference materially to India yarns and cloths; every-
thing else having undergone but little change, and having
sustained their values with remarkable firmness, consi-
dering the decline upon cotton.
" If these details be given faithfully, as they were in-
tended to be, the conclusion arrived at will be confirma-
tory of what has been stated at the outset. During the
earlier and greater portion of the month continuous and
increasing dulness prevailed, accompanied, as previously
existing contracts expired, with a gradual decline in the
prices of both Cloth and Yarns, and more particularly so
as regarded those of each adapted for India and China;
which resulted not only in an increase of supply, but iu
a resolute determination on the part of spinners and
manufacturers to accept yielding and market terms for
their respective productions. Had Cotton remained firm.
matters would have been different."
Hamburgh accounts of Tuesday give the rate of ex-
change at 13 31. Gold is at 425 i. Stocks were firm.
There was no change in Coffee. Wheat was dull.
In the Amsterdam Market on the 30th ult. the home
Funds were feeble, and not much was done. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 58 13-16.
Foreign Stocks had been equally dull.
At the meeting of the Newport, Abergavenny, and
Hereford Railway Company this day, a report was read
which showed that the directors are in earnest about pro-
ceeding at once with the works of the railway, for which
parpose a call of 21. per share would be requisite, the
payment of which the directors seemed to make as easy
as convenient to the shareholders. The cash statement
showed the balance in hand to be 14,8311. 9s. id. The
report was adopted unanimously.
The Stock Market has been flatter, owing to money
sales. Consols have been quoted 961.4 for Transfer, and
961 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been quoted 98?., and the Three per Cents.
97i to I. Bank Stock is worth 2154, and South Sea
Stock 1068 to 1074. Exchequer-bills have ruled at 455.
to 495. premium.
Foreign Securities have been very firm. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 21i to -8, and the Three per Cents, 38 to
k. Portuguese lour per Cents. are 34 to 35. Mexican
Stock has been done at 31 and 31/, and looks very firm.
Brazilian old Bonds have been about 90 to 92. Chilian
Stock is at 104. Russian Bonds have been quoted 101;
and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 598.
Railway Shares are for the most part very fluctuating.
Caledonian have been lower, and Midland, after opening
well, have gone back. The Bears now assert that there
are plenty of shares to be got. Moat other shares have
gone back since the market opened, but it is the mere
reaction after the settlement.
