MONE Y and COMMERciAL N"Ews,
CITY, TWth O'CLOCK
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 8,000
bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for *xport,
and 1,200 on speculation. The market was not so w.... 11
supplied, and prices were without alteration.—Railway
Shares were in good demand, at higher prices.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 425. 6d. per
quarter, and the last week's 426. sd. The quantity of
Wheat sold is 64,035 qrs.
The further accounts from Vienna bear out the ru-
mours of the 60,000,000 florins' loan being taken.
There does not appear to be any intention of openly
taking subscriptions here, but firms at Vienna have by
private letter invited parties here to participate. The
contract price is 93, it is said, but iu sterling about
811. is the nearest value. The instalments are
to be spread over twelve months, and the ex-
change has to be taken into consideration. We
apprehend that no prudent individuals of small means
will invest, or buy even on speculation, in such an unsafe
stock. The price is to be 41. more if the interest be
paid in specie; and, with our views on the matter, and
seeing the fluctuations in the exchange, we should be
extremely loath to pay 501. per cent. for Austrian Bonds.
Let any one follow carefully the advices from Italy, and
ask himself then what guarantee there can be for
future peace in a country so ruled, or among a
people so exasperated. Moreover, upon a former occa-
asion, Austria has promised to pay the interest in Lon-
don, and afterwards made it receivable only abroad, to
the loss of the subscribers. This time, we perceive,
the dividends are payable in Paris, Frankfort, and
Vienna.

The observations which on several occasions, re-
cently, we felt it our imperative duty to make
concerning railway property have had a good
effect, and circumstances daily occurring serve
to illustrate their force. We never sought to
bolster up prices or to stimulate a rise in good and bad
shares alike, but we did feel most intensely the evil of
excessive Bearing by people who had no stake, and who
cared not how much the real holder suffered. Strange
to say too, although shares have generally rallied on the
account day, and toe rate of interest for carrying them
over, that is for not insisting at once on their
delivery where purchased, has ruled lower every
I Itnight, the speculators for a fall have by their
boldness intimidated a few parties to make a sacrifice,
and thus kept up their game. Tnis day they suffer more
severely than before. Shares are exceedingly scarce in
the market, and very favourable offers are made for the
loan of them. The Midland have risen about 21. since
yesterday, making 5/. withing six or seven days. Such
is the result of Bearing. At the same time we would
not prognosticate that it is at an end. The half•yearly
meetings of some of the lines will not be particularly
good, and will be better in promise than in present
results. This will encourage the gamblers, perhaps,
and parties who look very justly for 5 or 6 per cent, per
annum from railways, and no one should buy to pay
him less, if we except one or two lines that are equal in
security to Consols, will be inclined to sell. The ques-
tion we should like to have solved is whether money may
not become so abundant as to render it difficult to get
even 3 per cent. in other securities, and whether, in that
case, railways to pay 4 per cent. would not be sufficiently
tempting. Foreign loans are ridiculous in competition
with shares.

The English Funds are very steady, but not buoyant.
Consols 96i for Transfer, and 96i for Account.
Bank Stock is 215 k to 2161. Exchequer-bills are lower,
465. to 495. premium.
Foreign securities are dull, but firm. Spanish Five
per Cents. nominally 2la to Mexican 30k to 31.
Sardinian Scrip * dis. to tv premium.
The last week's Railway receipts ascertained up to this
