MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
56 The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti.
mated at 7,000 bales, including 1,200 American, and
150 Brazil, for export ; and 500 American and 500
Surat on speculation. The market was tight, and the
only advance to notice was in 4-1 to sd. cottons, which
are about id. per lb. up.—The Share Market opened
heavily, but improved during the day, and closed with a
better demand.
The quantity of Wheat sok] is the markets which
govern the duties was, last week, 85,134 quarters. The
six weeks' average price was 38s. Bd. per quarter.
The Amsterdam Bourse on the 27th instant was rather
feeble for Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. 57, but
other securities were firm. Spanish Bonds were in re-
quest.
The week's Railway Receipts aro favourable for soma
of the principal lines, and contrast satisfactorily with
those published on this day se'nnight. The greatest in-
crease is upon the North-Western and the Great-
Western. The Midland still flags, and the Lancashire
and Yorkshire, atter last week's great increase, are much
lower, but possibly the working classes are reserving them-
selves for their visit to the Great Exhibition, and for the
Whitsun holidays. On the whole we are at a loss to
perceive any cause for despondency on the part of hol-
ders of railway property. Although a larger mileage is
open, the earnings per mile are greater, and it is fair to
conclude, as the result of past experience and the ex-
pressed wishes of the proprietary, that the working ex-
penses have been judiciously curtailed. These improved
receipts have been obtained without the aid of the Ex-
hibition, for hitherto it cannot be asserted that country
visitors have much availed themselves of railways to
reach the metropolis, and even the Continental
traffic on the lines which diverge to our out-
ports is scarcely so largo as was anticipated,
partly, as we bear, because of the number of foreigners
du. who prefer coming direct to London by boat. That
when once the tide sets in, and visitors swarm into the
metropolis, as they may be expected to do, by excursion
and cheap trains, the aggregate weekly receipts and
profits will not be greatly swollen, few disinterested
persons can bring themselves to believe, and the next
four or five weeks will, perhaps, be merely the precursor
of what .will occur during the autumn. Apart however,
from these extraneous circumstances, the intrinsic value
of railways must be greater than it was a year ago. The
calls are trivial, the loans are circumscribed, new lines
are being abandoned or only in part carried out, and
there is no longer a system of paying dividends out of
capital.
The last week's Railway Receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are in round figures as under:-
1851.

The English Stock Market is very well supported, but
,• there is much quieter state of things. Consols have
been 97i for Transfer and 97:1 to 98 for Account, being
a alight improvement on yesterday's closing values. At
present Consols are sellers at 97k. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to is and the
Three per Cents. 97 to Bank Stuck has been at
2102 to 211 f. Exchequer-bills are firm at 445. pre-
mium, and India Bouds at 52s premium.
Foreign Securities have been fluctuating. Mexican
Bonds have been 31Z- to 3.5 i for next account, and 341
for this time. They are now about 341 fir money,
and 34 for next time. Peruvian Four-and a-Half per
Cents. have been quoted 824 to 831. Buenos Ayres
Stock has been at 58f 1. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have been at 324, and Spanish Five per Cents, at
204 to.
The Railway Share Market has been 1/. to 21. better
for the 1001. shares, and has recovered generally to
about Tuesday's range. Foreign Shares also firmer.
