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 Maranham, at 54 d. to 74d.;
150 Egyptian, at 60.; and 800 Surat, at 3itl. to 4id.
per lb. The market was quiet, but steady.—Railv, ay
Shares were heavy.
The business done this week i❑ Sugar, Coffee, and
other prineipel 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, acd 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 her* and at Cognac. Duty has been paid to the 26th
August each year, via :-1849, 640,131 galls.; 1850,
613.774 galls.; 1351, 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 .re close upon the bottling sr ason
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
arid destroyed very large q rantities of the grapes. With
the stock in Oporto we can ill afford to lose a great por-
tion 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 Ri-turns 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.
1850, tons
1851, „ 853,653 ... 632,709
For the seven months to the 5,11 ult, the result stands
thus:—

Inwards. Outwards.
1850, tons 3,232,097 ... 3,397,509
1851, „
Those 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 the United Kingdom and its dependencies:—
Inwards. Outwards.
1850, tons
1851, „ 539,753 ... 382,766

The exports to foreign parts during the six months to
July 5 of the following articles were as under:

1850. 1851.
Bricks, No 6,014 830 ... 37,000
hops, lbs.
Paper, „
Soap, „ .
Spirits, gals.
Beer, brls.
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
naturalisation, and all of whom are lawless invaders.
The Amsterdam Bourse on the 3i instant was rather
firm for Dutch Stock. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were 557 to 5-16. Spanish Bonds were supported, bat
Mexican were rather easier.

The English Funds area little firmer to-day, but ex-
cept a few money transactions in the New Three- and-a-
Qearter per Cents., at 98a to 9, there has not been much
doing. Consols have been marked 96i 4 for Transfer,
and the same for Account. The premium on Exchequer-
bills 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 flatter, being 20-1- to j; Mexican
Bonds have been heavy at 28 to *; Peruvian Deferred
Stock is at 43,i; Dutch Four per Cents. have realised
92} 1. Portuguese Four per Cents. are nominally 31i-
to 324-. . .

In -Railway Sharei 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.

Blie and Joint-Stock Bank Shares have been very
ittle dealt in.

GOLD IN THE GREENLAND MOUNTAINS.—We read
a letter from Copenhagen of the 20th :—" It baying 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, Sir Walter Trovelyan, an English
mineralogist, well known for his geological explorations in
the Ferroe Islands, have sent to Greenland a commission of
Danish, English, and Norwegian mineralogists, charged, to
mike soundings in the mountains of that country, and in the
surrounding land, 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 Mouth
Monday last, in a vessel for the port of
Godthaab, in the south of Greenland.
