MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
83% The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for expert and on speculation. The sales com-
prised 100 Pernam and Marnham at 7d. to Sid.; 500
Surat at 34d. to 44d.; 50 Sea Island at la. 4d. to Is. 7d.,
and the remainder American. The market closed
steadily, but prices of American were rather lower.—
The market for Railway Shares was exceedingly bad, at
considerably lower rates, and closed with a further down-
ward tendency.
2° The Indigo auctions have been brought to a close.
Of the quantity offered, 2,492 chests were bought in,
4,724 withdrawn, and 3,200 sold; of which 2,000 were
for export, 500 for consumption, and 700 for re-sale.
Compared with February, good and fine shipping sorts
are at par, old and defective at par to 3d. per lb. lower,
broken and consuming par to 3d. lower, Madras 2d. to
4d., and Kurpah par to 3d. per lb. lower.
The letters by the steamer Pacific from America are
of three days' later date. The state of the dry goods
market at New York is described as follows:
" The active demand for goods, which has prevailed
since the opening of internal navigation, is rapidly satis-
fying itself, and activity begins to abate, while stocks
remain, for most descriptions of woollens and cottons,
heavy, and with continued pressure on the market,
prices keep drooping. Unbleached sheetings and
shirtings are in fair but moderate demand, and heavy
in prices. Bleached sheetings and shirtings are in light
request for present wants, and continue gradually to de-
cline. Drills are in fair demand, partly for export, and
prices aro more steady. Osnaburghs are more active, but
at a decline in price. Denims have been inac-
tive, owing to the sale announced for to-day; the sale was
large and attracted considerable attention. The large
offering was presented under very unfavourable circum-
stances of the market, and low prices only could be ex-
pected; 3,000 cases thus forced on the market while the
du. demand is small, is very depressive. Stripes and ticks,
though in fair demand, are heavy in price. from the
amount of stock pressing for sale. Cotton flannels are
in moderate request at steady rates. Printing cloths are
selling to a moderate extent, but the stock is large and
pressing for sale, which destroys the firmness of prices;
the tendency is downwards. Prints are not so active—
the heavy sales made during the last two or three weeks,
for the West and Northwest, do not continue. A large
12% stock remains behind, and prices arc heavy. Ginghams
and delaines both enjoy the enviable position
of small stocks relative to the demand, and
firm prices, which have yielded a good profit
for the season now at its close. Lawns
are more active, at steady prices. Cotton pantaloonery
is dull and heavy. Cloths are yet in large stocks held
without much firmness, holders being desirous to sell;
manufacturers are taking the alarm at the continued dis-
proportion between the prices cf wool goods, and are
restricting productions materially. Cassimeres are dull.
Fancies are pressed on the market at declining prices,
and plain goods are held with firmness. Satinets are
in large stocks, and are dull, with some degree of heavi-
ness, though manufacturers seem more disposed to ad-
vance production than sacrifice their stock. Tweeds are
in good request at declining rates; the stock being large
and pressing. Jeans are also lower, with a limited busi-
ness doing. Sheep greys are steady and in demand.
Blankets are in more request, and steady. Flannels
are drooping. The auction sales are large, and much
domestic stuck is there offering, which adds to the de-
pression. French goods sell only in the auction-room,
and continue low in price. The very large sales that
have been made this season, and at low prices, must have
satisfied fully the consumptive demand of the whole
Union. British goods are also lower, sharing in the
general depression of the market. The sale lasted one
hour, and netted 300,000 dollars."
The steamer brings, as was expected, a good deal of
bullion, the high rate of exchange on London promoting
remittances.
Later adviees from Chili represent the Republic as
being very prosperous. From Peru we hear of the
political state of the country being still unsatisfactory.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst. was
very firm, and business was tolerably animated.
The English Funds have been very firm, but this
being " Derby" day there is not much doing. Consols
have been 974- to for Transfer, and 971 -81 for Account.

sales have not been large, the unfavourable accounts from
Liverpool deter purchases.
