MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales, 7,000 bale?, at previous rates.—The Share Market
was dull except for Midland Stock, which was in good
demand at rather higher prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 375. Bd. per
quarter, and the last week's 355. 7d.
The Indigo sales have been proceeding a little more
briskly than on the first day.
The intelligence from a private correspondent at New-
port, which appeared in The Sun, last evening, of the
failure of Williams's Old Bank there, has caused much
conversation; and the existing position of the mining
interest is felt not to be such as to render it insensible
to extraneous losses from such occurrences as bank
failures. The circulation of Messrs. Williams was just
under 6,0001., and therefore the mischief will not
be extensive, but the Monmouthshire, and Glamorgan-
shire bank, it is apprehended, will be of greater import-
ance.

The Continental letters are satisfactory only to a qua-
lified extent. At Paris money is very easy, but the
state of feeling among capitalists is unsettled. In the
German and Italian states there is a marked appearance
of distrust, and the Frankfort fair suffered thereby. At
Vienna the failure of the loan is occasioning great diffi-
culty to the Government. The Amsterdam Stock mar-
ket on the 7th inst. opened rather higher for Dutch
Stock, but sales were made which reduced prices. Spa-
nish Bonds were better. Mexican improved on the
London advises, but declined afterwards.

The committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received a letter from Mr. Lord at La Guayra,
dated the 10th of September, stating that, just before
the departure of the mail, a communication had reached
him from Caraccas that the agreement entered upon
with the Executive Power, had at last obtained the
sanction of the Council of State, and that he, Mr. Lord,
expected to be able to inform the committee by the next
packet of his having received the official confirmation
thereof.

The Stock Market was heavy again upon the com
mencement of business, but now looks better. Consols
have been at 96i 4, then at 96i to 97, and are now
26i J. The rate of " continuation" to November is
about per cent. Exchequer-bills have realised 445.
to 475., and Indian Bonds 545. premium.
In Foreign Bonds the transactions have been
limited. Mexican keeps up at 26,-I to 27k, which
may be considered good in the face of the re-
fusal of the Governors of, the different States
to allow of fresh taxes to meet the deficit. It is alleged,
indeed, that the ground of their refusal was the suffi-
ciency of the income to cover the outlay, but this is not
known officially to bo the case, and therefore cannot be
depended on. It is perfectly well known that great
difficulty exists in raising direct taxes in any republic,
and all the bondholders have to depend on is the Cus-
toms' revenue. This, hitherto, has been far below
what was anticipated, and is quite inadequate to the
payment of half a dividend. Whether improve-
ment hereafter may be looked for is another points
but the private letters recently have chronicled failures,
and dulness of trade that are not very encouraging.
We trust the usual business season will show a better
state of things. The amount for the dividends, includ-
ing bills, is over 60,000 dollars. Spanish Five por
Cents. are nominally 20i to and the Three per
Cents. 371 to 381. The Passive are 5i to Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 58i.
Railway Shares are receding, and parties who bought
a week or ten days back at lower rates are taking their
profits.
