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

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6 000 ba'4l:, comprising 4,500 American, 600
Pernam and Maranham, at to Bad ; 100 Egyptian,
at 8 to 84 I,; and Surat, at sd. to 6d. per lb. The
market was steady, but tame, and prices were about
per lb. b:•loie the rtes of Friday last.—Railway Shares
were dull.

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

" From the above tables it appears that the import of
River Plate and Rio Grande Salted Hides is below the
average of the last seven years, and if compared with last
year only, shows a falling off of 30 per cent. The stocks
also, it will bo 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 il. 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 in
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 foreigu from this port
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' hands are unusually
small. The stock of hides in importers' hands is a mere
trifle, and the drought 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 suppliely,
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 been
known for a very long period. The entire stock of River
Plate and Rio Grande salted hides in importers' hands,
in the kingdom, is not at this time more than three
weeks' consumpton."
itot
The screw-steer, -4 are coming daily into more ex•
tensive use, anr; proved very serviceable to dif-
ferent branches . aserce, but more especially to the
fruit trade. This , 'ason fruit has bean 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 Wear-
steamers will almost wholly supersede sailing vessels for
the conveyance of perishable articles, and with modifica-
tions and saving in the consumption of fuel, numerous
merchant ships will have this auxiliary power for occa-
sional use, as in the event ~ f b sing becalmed.
The Foreign Exchanges have improved at Amsterdam
and Hamburgh, 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's
sudden appearance in li,firland had scared the malcon-
tents ; and his Excellency, in a proclamation to th•
farmers, assures them that there is no danger of a War,
and that the farmers might safely return to their homes.
In the Amsterdam Stock Marker, on Wednesday, there
was not much done in Dutch Securities, and they main.,
tained about previous rates. Mexican Bonds were
better.

The English Funds have been very firm, and with. •
limited business doing. Consols have been 96i to 97
for the Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter p.r
Cents. have been 981 to 99. Bank Stock has bees
marked Mt Exchequer-bills have improved to 581.
and 625. prem.
