MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,500 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 4,000 American,
200 Bahia at 6d. to &id., 200 Egyptian at 6d. to 7id.,
and 200 Surat at 3d. to 4d. per lb. The market was
quiet and steady at previous rates.—ln Railway Shares
only a limited business was done without alteration in
prices.
The auctions of indigo have commenced, and the fol-
lowing is the report of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewes-
bury:—" The quarterly sales of indigo commenced yes-
terday, consisting of 13,880 chests (including 4,781
chests of old goods, bought in at, or withdrawn from
former sales, and 1,633 chests in second hands), com-
prising the following—viz., 8,002 ehests Bengal, Cude,
&c., 1,484 Madras, 1,893 Kurpah, 108 Bimlapotam, 50
Manilla, 29 Java, 496 Calcutta Figs, 38 Madras, 12
Bombay, 129 withdrawn before inspection, 14 lots 01
warehouse sweepings. Total chests, 12,255.
"The qualities of the Bengal are about one-third good
and fine and two-thirds middling and ordinary; the
Madras two-thirds ordinary and one-third good, and a
few chests fine; the Kurpah one-fourth good and fine,
three-fourths mid. and ord.; ,the Bim lapotam fine to
good mid.; Manilla ordinary; and the few chests Java
good and fine.

" The sale opened with a parcel of 145 chests good
Bengal of the new cross, for which there was a fair de-
mand at from last sale's rates to 2d. discount, which
rates ruled throughout for those of similar quality; for
the very low sorts there was no demand, and prices were
from 4d. to sd. per lb. lower. The inquiry for Kurpah
was moderate, the good sorts sold at about par to 3d.
per lb. lower, and the ordinary par to 4d. per lb. lower;
the few Madras brought forward sold at about May
rates. There was a very full attendance of foreigners
(many of them being evidently visitors), but the home
trade was sparingly represented. Yesterday 1,480 chests
passed, of which 584 were withdrawn, 437 bought in,
and 459 sold. The following will show the highest and
lowest prices:-453 chests Bengal 3s. Id. to ss. 9d. per
lb., 105 Madras 2s. 3d. to 4s. 3d., 283 Kurpahs 2s. 9d.
to 4s. Bd., 55 Bimlapotam 3s. 7d. to ss. per lb., and 584
chests withdrawn. Total chests, 1,480."
The Corn Market is firmer to-day.
The whole of the circumstances connected with the
Californian fire are of too important a character to be
passed over lightly, or by a cursory notice. It is in-
teresting above all things to estimate the future com-
mercial prospects, and to guard against exaggerated
hopes of a market for fresh imports. At the latest
date from San Francisco, although a fair quantity of
goods was being sold, no speculative feeling existed.
The amount of merchandise actually consumed is rec-
koned at 5,000,000 dollars, being at least three-fifths
of all the goods in the city and on ship-
board. This would produce an effect, but
a gradual one only, as a large amount of resources
was called into requisition for rebuilding and for actual
wants. One writer states—" We see no reason for
shippers to rush large parcels of goods upon us, as there
is nothing to warrant it, and large shipments are on the
way from Europe; while we hope never to see as large
stocks in San Francisco as there were previously to the
fire, until the state of the country will warrant it." The
immigration of Chinese into California promises to be-
come very large, and they are reported to be a most use-
ful and orderly body. A great number had settled down
to agricultural pursuits, which is precisely what is re-
quired.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 7th inst. was
animated, better prices being obtained. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were 58 to 9-16.
The Sardinian Loan affair will deserve to rank in the
category of modern failures. Thousands of pounds
worth will evidently never be paid upon, and, if a mo-
derate sum b© raised, it is as much as the agents or con-
tractors can expect. As far as Sardinia is concerned,
every Liberal politician would rejoice to see her relieved
in her necessity, but then the question naturally arises,
whether, in the event of the amount being needed, as is
asserted, for railway purposes, the required capital could
not have been obtained at home, always the best course
for a nation, even if the prosecution of the works
were spread over a number of years. It is, moreover, a
bad precedent to fly to the contract of loans whenever a
slight difficulty arises, and the increase since the year 1848
of about twelve millions sterling in the amount of the
Sardinian debt, is a proof that from some cause or other
she has liberally resorted to the lotin system. Next to
the borrowi❑g country, we have to consider the position
of the lender. England has suffered much from foreign
loans, and it would be a great relief to the money mar-
ket, and decidedly to the interest of the merchant, if
these periodical disturbers were discouraged. Austria
has failed, and now Sardinia follows, will any more try
the experiment at present ?
There was, generally, considerable firmness in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, and the rates for
90 days' paper were higher even on Amsterdam; Paris
steady; Antwerp barely so good; Hamburgh and Trieste
well supported.
The dividends are being paid this morning at the
Bank of England, and the Commissioners for the Re-
duction of the National Debt have intimated that
as the surplus for the year ending the sth
April last was 2,926,1811. 2s. 4d., the sum to be
invested in stock this quarter will be 731,545/. ss. 7d.,
besides 3,8181. 10s. 11d., the; iutereat on bequests,
&c. The Funds have not moved upon the above an-
nouncement, but there is little doing, and it is probable
some effect will be produced hereafter. Consols are 96i
to 97. The defeat of Ministers again last night is not
expected to lead to important political results. People
are getting accustomed to these things. Exchequer-
bills are steady at 50s. to 535. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98i
Foreign Securities have been rather more dealt in.
Sardinian Scrip is 2 to 3 discount. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been 20i and the Three per Cents. 38k.
Mexican Stock has been done at 34f. Buenos Ayres
Bonds are at 56, and Brazilian 881 to 89k. Dutch Two-
and-Half per Cents. have been 59 to 59k.
Railway Shares have been exceedingly dull, but prices
have not generally altered. Oxford and Wolverhampton
are 14i y, being lower. Foreign Shares are steady.
