MONEY and CUMMJItUIAL NEWS,
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK,

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, "'tilt
estimated at 4,000 bales, with a flat market, and prices
nearly -id. per lb. lower,—ln Railway Shares but little
business done, and prices had a downward tendency•
Referring to the stocks of produce, &c., now and at
this time last year, it cannot but be gratifying to reemtk
that the quantity of Cotton in the United Kingdom EX.
ceeds that weekly chronicled by 8,000 bales. This error
reminds one forcibly of what occurred last year when he
stock was likewise found to exceed what had been !p_
presented, and many will very naturally infer that tier°
is either design in these mistakes, with a view to iota.
enee prices, or otherwise that the system of collecteg
the requisite data is imperfect. Still it is singular ttat
the error should be generally in favour of higher valtea.
With respect to produce generally, it rules sornew)at
higher than at this time last year. Sugar is Is. to
Is 6d., or, if we take the Gazette avera,,e,
3s. per cwt. higher than at this time ast
year. The deliveries show an increase this year, led
the stock is much lower. Coffee, on the ether
hand, is in larger supply, and the deliveries have grettly
declined. The price stands lower than at this time last
year for the finer qualities of Jamaica, but bettelfor
Ceylon Native. Rum has been remarkably steady, lice
is dearer, and Cotton is Id. to 2d. per lb. higher. pig
Iron is depressed.
The range of funded property during the past e,r
has been much less wide than it was in 1849. Co4ola
have alternated 44 per cent., and Exchequer-bills .75.,
the month of February being the lowest point,
94k, and the present week the highest.
bhares this year have varied about 20 for the Nt
Western, South-Western 14, and Midland 16 per shtee.
Mexican Bonds have been at 27 and 37 this year, au
Spanish Three per Cents. 35 and 40g.
A writer in the Bankers' Magazine for January gitqs

the last four months. In the following table we hate

" The leading facts presented by this table may be
recapitulated as follows:-1. Between July and De.
cember, 1850, there has been a very marked fall, against
this country, in the exchange with Paris; and this fall
has taken place quite apart from any corresponding dik,
turbance in the actual trade in commodities between the
two countries. 2. The same observation applies to the
exchange with Hamburgb, 3. There has been a marked
fall in the premium on gold at Paris, notwiihstanditt
that during the progress of that fall there has been
influx of gold into France from this country. And 4.
The fall in the premium on gold at Paris has been
rapid as to postpone until the 21st of December, 1810
the occurrence of a state of things which rendered gold
so much dearer in Paris than in London (say 1 N.
cent.) as to render it profitable to send gold frost
hence to Paris. These are the facts which appear
on the face of the table when connected with the
notorious truth that little if any gold has been sett
to the continent from England during the last sik
months, until within the last week or two, when pet..
haps a million or so has been exported. The enormout
exportation of silver is, of course, well known."
The accounts from both the copper and iron regions
of Lake Superior, as to the richness and new discoveriesi
exceed former reports, and come in that authenticated
shape that they can be fully depended upon. The
immense quantities of supplies which hale
gone up to Sault St. Marie, thanks to the
energies of Colonel M‘Knight in completing hi,
railroad across the portage, are likely to arrive safely 4t
their several points of destination. Without this ir4,
portant work, nearly one-half would have failed, tl4
rains and heavy loads of copper having nearly destroyed
the old road. But we are sorry to say that there is, 4,
usual, something to mar the prospect. Gen. Taylor had
appointed Mr. Acker registrar, and Mr. Backus the re,
ceiver of the Land-office at Sault St. Marie, but it sem%
Mr. Fillmore is sending nominations to the Senate fe,
confirmation, reversed their order, and the tendene),
is such as to prevent parties from entering on land,
until the expiration of a long seven months of wintet
Mr. Backus not having received his papers in season to
open his office this fall, and meantime a deputy-marshal
is sent up to prevent felling the timber for building all
other purposes.
The Foreign Exchanges rallied very generally yestek„
day afternoon, and there was more doing. The rate,
for 90 days' paper were 25 12i to 20 on Paris, 11 It
to 17 on Amsterdam, 13 5 to 6 on ilamburgh, at
12 40 to 45 on Trieste.

The English Funds have rallied to-day, and Consols
have touched 961 z. The New Three-and-a-Quar4r
per Cents, are 98} and the Three per Cents..97ii.
Exchequer-bills have been 575. to 60s. prem. The e
vance in the exchanges has had a favourable effect.
In the Foreign Market the quotations have beNl
very limited, Spanish Three per Cents. are nominal!,

Railway Shares have been rather flat again, but thtto
is not much doing.
