MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The soles of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mitfd ut 8.000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. and 1,000 on speculation. The shies
comprist d about 6.500 American, 300 I'ernam and Ma-
rahom at sid. to 6ri., 200 Egyptian at sid. to Bd., 800
Surat at 3d. to 40., and 200 Sea Isluna ac 100. to Is.
Oid. per lb. Tile market closed firmly.—The Share
Market was better, and a fair business was done at im-
proved prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wt eat is 41s. 9d. per
quarter.

As we yesterday anticipated, the result of the negotia-
tions for assisting one or two houses that were tempo
rarily inconvenienced by havisg the paper of suspended
firms thrown back upon them, have resulted success-
fully, end a very stringent examination of the ba-
lance-sheets and accounts having shown that there
is a good surplus, assistance has been received
from one or two joint stock banks and discount
establishments which are interested. It would be idle
to assert, however tranquil may be present appearence4
that more s oppages will not occur. We feel satisfied
that there will be several, and it is only because we do
not desire to anticipate evil, that we refrain from mention-
ing the particular branches in which they may be biked
far. An attentive observer and experienced man of
busineAs will not at least fail to perceive that all
who have largely speculated in sharei must have sus•
tamed heavy losses, and be inconvenienced accordingly.

The shareholders of the Northern Counties Union
Itai.way have held a meeting to•day, and rectived a
most sati.factery report from the directors. In the en-
suing Parliament a Bill will be opplitd for to enable
the company to abandon the greater part of the line,
and construct a small portion, which will prove re-
munerative, and which, in tact, there are two or three
companies willing to lease. As to the expense of ap-
plying for the Bill, two-thirds thereof is guaranteed by
other companies.
The speculators for a fall have been rather active in
the Stock Market, and there is as impression that other
failures may occur to give them an advantage in acting
upon the fears of the timid. Consols have been reduced
from 96i to 96. The New Three-and•a Quarter per
Cents. have been 981 to 98i. Bank Stock has been
firm at 215 i. Exch,quer-bille are 46a. to 49a, and India
Bonds 535. to 565. premium.

Consols. Mexican have been 284 to Bras I Stock is

and prices are somewhat irregular. Caledonian are
better, and Midland are good; Greet Western flat.
