viONLY and COMNIERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales or Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 ba e;, comprising 4,500 American, 600
Pernam and Nlarentiara, at Sid. to Bid ; 100 Egyptian,
at 81. to 8i,r1,; and t.OO Surat, at gd. to 6d. per lb. The
market was steady, but tame, and prices were about O.
per lb. below the rites of Friday last.—Railway Shares
were dull.

The Corn Market is very dull.
The Colon al Markets have been very inactive this
week, sod Sugar and Coffee rule at about previous rates.
The following are some further particulars of interest
from the trade circulars. Messrs. James, Gordon, and
Co., of Liverpool, referring to.the Hide and Skin mar-
kers, state:—

"From the above tables it appears that the import of
River Plate and Rio Grande Salted Hides is below the
average a the last seven years, and if compared with lad
y ear only, shows a falling off of 30 per cent. The stocky
also, it will be observed, are very far below the average.
Prices have advanced considerably, and are now higher
than at any time since the beginning of 1847, as stated
above. They are, however, id. to J. lower than in the
greater part of 1846. Notwithstanding the very consi-
derable advance which has taken place in Hides,• it does
not appear that Leather has by any means improved is
a corresponding degree. The light kinds and inferior
descriptions have risen considerably, but the better
kinds and heavier are not much higher. There is, how'
ever, every reason for expecting an advance in
these before long, for, besides the above-mentioned
decrease in the import of Salted Hides, an unusually
large quantity has been exported, say 100,000
British and 50,000 foreign from this pot t
alone. The tanners, consequently, must have a smaller
quantity of leather in course of preparation than usual.
The consumption of leather, consequent on a prosper..
ous state of the manufacturing districts, must be very'
large. The stock in the factors' bands are unman,'
small. The stock of hides in importers' hands is a were
trifle, and the draught at Buenos Ayres will have the
effect of postponing the season for slaughter two months,
all of which circumstances have a tendency to raise
prices both of the raw and manufactured article. If it
is also borne in mind that a war betwixt Buenos Ayres
and Brazil now appears imminent, and which, if de-
clared, will have the effect of curtailing the supplier,
both from the Plate and Rio Grande, to a very great
extent, it is by no means impossible that prices may take
a range, in the course of next year, such as has not bees
known for a very long period. The entire stock of River
Plate and Rio Grande salted hides in importers' handle
in the kingdom, is not at this time more than three
weeks' cousumpton."
The screw-steamers are coming daily into more ex-
tensive use, and have proved very serviceable to dir.
ferent branches of commerce, but more especially to the
fruit trade. This season fruit has been brought from
the lonian Isles, Sicily, and Smyrna, and an entire
cargo of 2,000 barrels of chesnuts has been received by'
Messrs. Keeling and Hunt from Roche St. Bernard. At
no distant day we may reasonably expect that screw'
pe Rulers sill almost wholly supersede sailing vessels for
the conveyance of perishable articles, and with modifies..
tions and saving in the consumption of fuel, numerous
merchant ships will have this auxiliary power for occee
sional use, as in the event (.f being becalmed.
The Foreign Exchanges have improved at Amsterdam
and Hainburgb, and it is fully expected that there will
be a rise here this afternoon.
There are accounts of Nov. 2 from the Cape of Good
Hope, and they read most favourably. The Governor'r
sudden appearance in Ksfirland had scared the inalcort"
tents ; and his Excellency, in a proclamation to the
farmers, assures them that there is no danger of a war,
and that the farmers might setely return to their house&
In the Amsterdam Stock Market, on Wednesday,,thr*
was not much done in Dutch Securities, and they Man"
tained about previous rates. Mexican Bonds were
better.
The English Funds have been very firm, and with
limited business doing. Consols have been 961 to 91
for the Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 981 to 99. Bank Stock has been
marked 213 g. Exchequer-bills have improved to 58e•
and 625. prem.
