MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEVV„,..
CITY, TWO O'CLOCA•g,
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were !sl.;
mated at 2,000 to 2,500 bales, of which 300 America
were taken on speculation, and 200 for export, including
,
100 Pernam and Maranham at 7id. to eV., 50 r,g,l,r,e
tian, and the remainder nearly all American.
market was very flat, and closed with American s'.
was Surat *d. per lb. lower, and all other sorts were norm.
pally ki.lower.—ln Railway Shares a fair business 'w
done at considerably higher prices
It is understood that, es far as. public sales are Ow'
cerned, to-morrow will be a holiday iu Mincing-larn
Summing up the affairs of the month, the Bawl 0,
Magazine states:—" We have comparatively verY fain
changes to report this month. The Money Markett_;
,
all its departments, has been characterised by ex the 4
quietness, and prices have, of course, been steady. 'lee
7, rate of discount for good bills may be called to
per cent., with not much business passing, and e
dency, perhaps, for the moment, to lower rates. Ruillou,
have been current during the month of an intentionti;
the part of the Bank directors, to advance their suircii
mum rate beyond its present limit of 3 per cent.,an,o
contemporary stated, on the 19th April, that at `lit,
meeting of the Bank directors, on the 17th insteiot
the proposal for an increased rate was the
by only one vote. The excitement in the
Railway Share Market seems to have for "at
present subsided. There has been no gr;
decline of prices, however, and generally no signs 9
violent reaction. According to the quoted exchange
bullion cannot be exported at a profit, and our conte/33;0
pore ry states very trul ,
y that the Exchange brokers 0
been perplexed to account for the diminution of bullion
in the Bank, while the rates of exchange remain at three
t present quotation. We think the reason we he s
stated will, at least in part, explain the re°,l;
weekly diminution in the Bank's stock of g°,' „t
but we must continue to warn our readers t'o's
many things are far more improbable than Perbsre
an early advancement of the Bank rate beyond thrhee
per cent.; for it will be seen by a comparison Of t
present returns of the Bank, with those for the corrro
spending period of last year, that the stock of gold c°ol
in the Bank's coffers is now upwards of three
and a half less than in March, 1850.
" The dull state of trade, noticed by us last month 6 s
continues. At Manchester the want of activity seelli
to be clearly traceable, in the main, to the extreme ,11n
13";
certainty which hangs over the Cotton market. -1,0
manufacturers have strong reasons to suppose that t-a
increased supply of Cotton a ill lower its price,
hence they are most reluctant to extend their °pollee
tions in any way at present. There is no avoiding t -
conclusion, however, that throughout the entire country
the people are holding back their expenditure for the
time of the Exhibition, and it is probable that the tie'
tivity of the summer trade will compensate for the par
tial slackness of that of the spring.
" The statement made of a forgery having been CO13:1i 0
mitted, and stock sold out under it to the amount 0
10,0001., is not quite correct. No forgery has nee,
committed, but a trustee has made away with propel;
which did not belong to him. It was sold out in his ow
name and misapplied; but as he was the only trustee;
there was eo occasion to commit a forgery. The guilt.'
party does not reside in the metropolis, and the tranes°'
tion was carried on through a country bank and its al'
respondent in London. The London bank which floc
tiated the transfer, and the Bank of England, will n°l
escape harmless ; but it is doubted whether the coal'
try bank will escape, as it may be involved in Peel;
niary transactions with the culprit, which may make '
responsible to some extent to the party defrauded." „a
Yesterday afternoon the Foreign Exchanges NO"
again rather lower on Paris and other places.
In the Amsterdam Bourse on the 28th instaat, Duteh
Stock was generally feebler, and most Foreign Securi,''
ties were lower. The Two-aed-aellalf per Cent. Date"
Bonds have been quoted 57k.
The English Funds have been without any particliter
movement, and there is still a doubt as to the raising
the rate of discount at the Bank of England. Consols
have been quoted 96a to 96i for Transfer, and the spree
for Account. The New Three-and-v.-Quarter per Cents'
have been 97i ie and the Three per Cents. 951 to 96/'
Bank Stock has been marked 2104- to 211. Exchequer
Bills are 50s. to 535. premium.
The instructions given to M. Payno, the new Minister,
Plenipotentiary from Mexico to England, for the seit'e-
ment of the debt are as follows :
" Instructions which by order of his Excellency the
President of the Republic the Foreign Ministry gives„l
