MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool On Saturday were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 2 000 bales American
were taken for export acid 2,000 oo speculation. '1 he
sales comprked 9,000 American. 350 Ferman and Ma-
ratrharn, at 7ii. to 81 I.; 150 lishia. at 61,- I. to 7d.; 150
Eiyptian, at 6L 1, to 81d.; and 4,000 Surat, at 31d. to
414. per lb. The market was animated, and closed
firmly with American a shade against the buyer.—Rail-
way Shares improved in prices, and closed with a good
demand for stock.
The prospects of the Manchester market are thus de-
scribed in letters received this morning:—
Mr. H. R. Forrest states—" Trying as the position of
the spinners has been for some months, speaking gene-
ra,ly, they have acted with unusual prudence, and have
profited by that experience; for not only have they li-
mited their production where loss was entailed, but for
some time past have held as light stocks of cotton and
goods as possible. Whilst, therefore, the most serious
Share of the loss arising from the speculation in cotton is
borne in Liverpool, the stock being held there, the re-
maining portion is pretty equally borne by the export
merchants and wholesale dealers, together with the spin-
peret and manufacturers."
"The reduced rates at which shipments may now
be made will naturally lead to an expansion of consucop-
tioa and demand, and we may soon expect renewed ac-
tivity here, if indeed it have not already begun. There
is certainly a large amount of inquiry and testing of
prices, and some large offers made at a bare shade under
current rates. Sellers are more firm in their tone, and
have greater confidence in cotton maintaining its present
value. The market is decidedly steadier, and a more
hopeful spirit pervades all classes of dealers. The
exception appears to be on the part of the Greek houses,
engaged in the Turkey ar.d Persia trades, the advices
from Constantinople and Trebiz nide still reporting dull
markets end a contracted currency. More is doing for
Syria. A fair business is being transacted for Brrail,
and some of the chief ports of the West Coast, but
for Valparaiso the supplies are still contracted.
The recent advices from Calcutta have tended
to check operations for that quarter; but for
Bombay and Madras respectively a fair trade is
going on. The exports to Germany, and the North of
Europe generally, have latterly fallen off considerably,
attributable partly to the late political derangements,
which have bad an injurious effect on the industrial in-
terests of the respective communities, and partly to the
prudential distrust of the high rates of yarns and manu-
factures occasioned by the speculation based on the
false statements received from the other side regarding
the probable yield of the American cotton crop,
Buyers interested in the German trade are cautiously
testing the market, and operating more extensively
wherever a cheap parcel offers. All things considered,
the aspect of the future is improved, and it seems pretty
evident that prices have at length reached about the last
step of decline."
Accounts of Friday last from 114mbro' quote the
exchange on London 13 31 and steady. Gold was at
425. Coffee was still in request.
The Funds at Amsterdam on Saturday were firm and
in request.
The accounts from Bombay by the overland mail re-
port still some tightness in the money market, and a
dull demand for imports.
The steam and sailing vessels arrived from the Uri i ed
States bring a large amount of bullion, 800,000 dollars,
and the advices from California are exceedingly interest-
ing and promising. Gold mines in various directions
have been discovered, and there is every promise of a
continued abundant yield. A trea-ury circular had been
issued, sihich permits merehandize to be withdrawn
from warehouse and exported to the aoj Beitish
provinces without the pa) ment of duties, The %Met of
this may be to make New York the sea-port of a large
part of Canada, aad to increase the business of the
United Sates canals.

From Can►►da it is advised, that the increased truffi.:
on the Welland Canal, over the corresponding period of
last year is very large. From the 2241 of Apr►l t 3 the
sth of May, nu less than 245 vessels passed through,
being about one vessel in every twenty-eight minutes,
from sunrise to sunset.
The receipts at the Montreal custom-house amounted

in on• week to the large sum of 40 0001.
In Newfoundland the Royal as,eut had been refused
to the Bill passed last session for the issue of Treasury
notes. This was considered rather awkward, seeing
there are already 66,0001. in circulation. The chief
reason assigned by the Government is, that it is an in-
terference with the business of the Bank of British North
America.

The amount of the precious metals exported direct
from London during the week to Thursday last was
250 oz. of gold coin for Ilemburgh, and 4,500 oz. to
Belgium. Of silver coin 26,600 oz. went to Boulogne,
and 50.000 to Belgium.
