MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,500 Surat were taken
on speculation. The market closed heavily with Ame-
rican id. lower than on Friday last. The sales com-
prised 3,500 American, 400 Perham and Maranbam at
54d. to 6id., 100 Bahia at 6d., 600 Egyptian at sid. to
Bd., and 3,500 Surat at 3d. to 34d. per lb.—ln Railway
Shares a fair business was done. _ _ _

The usual course of business as far as foreign orders
are concerned, has been interfered with by the political
occurrences, but holders have not pressed sales, and
prices have not been materially affected. Coffee has
been neglected, and Tea lower, but Sugar firm. Surat
Cotton yesterday afternoon was taken in for id. per lb.
advance. Jute tends upwards. Spices and other arti-
cles which get into large consumption about Christmas
time are more inquired for. The foreign demand for
Coffee and some other staples is quieter just now, but
the demand for Rye continues.
Pittsburgh accounts state that a free banking law in
Illinois had been carried by a majority of 5,000, which
will operate favourably on the stocks by Increasing the
demand.
At Boston a loan of two millions of mortgage bonds
was wanted by the Vermont Railway.
The excitement in the City is so far infectious that
the duty even of those who have' to record the move-
ments in the monetary and commercial world becomes
impeded, and there is an impossibility almost to accom-
plish the task of describing adequately what occurs.
Consols have been up to 97 and down since to 96i
the present values. A large business has been done
in New Three-and •a-Quarter per Cents., at 97i
to 97k; and in the Three per Cent. Reduced
Annuities at 96 to 1. The market seems as agitated now
as it has been at any time since the coup d'itat was at-
attempted. As to the feeling in the City, one
finds it range from one extreme to the other. Among
the little groups about the Royal Exchange engaged in
reading the news (for, papers being in demand, one is
made to do service for many, and is read aloud), one
finds general sympathy with Louis Napoleon, and ad-
miration at his courage. In the Subscription-
rooms there is a quieter but deeper conflict of opinion.
The immense stake which many have as speculators in
the Funds or as holders of produce, causes them to
brood over the unfavourable points, or exult at appear•
ances that may seem favourable to them either as Bulls
or Bears. Some are enthusiastic, others depressed,
and all find a difficulty in defining the future course of
events. We fear the next settling day in Consols will
" tell a tale." Exchequer-bills have been 48s. to 51s.
premium.
Foreign Stocks are all worse. Mexican have dropped
to 234 and 23. Peruvian Deferred are at 44. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 19i 4, and the Three per
Cents. 38 to Sardinian are 774 to 78. Brazilian
keep at 92. Dutch Four per Cents. have been as low
as 85k, but aro now 87.
Railway Shares are all greatly affected, and the de-
cline is 1 to 3 per cent., Midland, Great Western, Ca-
ledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Stafford, and
the foreign lines being heaviest.
Gold Mines are lower. Agua Fria and Nouveau
Monde premium.
