MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The mar-
ket closed with an upward tendency, with American id.
to id., and the current qualities of Surat Id. per lb.
higher; other sorts without alteration.—The Railway
Share Market was rather better, with but little business
doing.

The six weeks' average price of Wheat is officially re-
turned at 425. sd. per quarter.
The West India advioes refer again to the dryness of
the weather as being unfavourable for the crops. The
great cry, however, in Jamaica and other places was still
for more labour. Even European immigrants, it is
stated, would be very useful. Doubting much whether
Englishmen, at any rate, whatever the natives of
Southern climes did, would bo equal to even light
toil in a tropical climate, we nevertheless
give the following statement from a local and
customarily well informed source. The writer dating
from Trelawny, observes:—" It is our desire to have
500,000 souls added to our population. If we could but
turn the tide of European immigration. and induce the
sturdy sons of the North to migrate to this island, it would
be the means of elevating the moral position of the
present inhabitants. We have more acres of land in
a wild state of nature than there are under cultiva•
tion. Tu increase our agriculture, then, we must
increase our population. We are, strictly speaking,
an agricultural country. Our peasantry have, to
a certaiu extent, rendered their humble efforts
towards so deArable an end. The enormous
quantity of ginger that has been brought to the
several markets and disposed of during the
present year, is one of the results of the labourers'
energies. Irrespective of ginger, there have been
other articles briaight to mai ket. the product of the
pea•aut'a industry. We are aware of one individual's
perseverance having been rewarded with some forty
or fifty barrels of sugar, the produce of his ow❑
little freehold; whilst others in the same neigh-
bourhood have had their fifteen, ten, eight,
and two barrels of sugar each, produced
from their few acres, besides what they have
earned by going out to work for the large pro-
perties. If, then, the native labourer can succeed so
well, with but scanty means, may we not infer that
others who may be induced to migrate to this island,
with some capital, would prove eminently successful, if
they are of industrious habits?

` We are not all of that class of men who argue that
Europeans cannot succeed in our tropical climate. On
the contrary, we are convinced that any man can, and
must be successful, if he sets to work determinedly. The
word ' cannot' is, to us, incomprehensible. Man can
accomplish anything that he determined on, if he but
goes to work in right earnest."
The letters from the Continent are not of much in-
terest. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst.
was dull, both for Home and Foreign Socks. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 58 11-16.
The wore buoyunt appearance of the English Stock
Market at its close yesterday afternoon has been sus-
tained this morning, and there is a fair business doing
in Consols at 96} g fur present transfer. Time bar-
gains have been made at 96g. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been marked 99 to g, and the
Three per Cents. 97g to Bank Stock has been sup-
ported at 2151 to The Unfunded Debt has been quoted
47e. to 48s. premium. East India Stock is at 260.
Foreign Securities have been firm, although extremely
dull. Mexican Bonds are 28g ;„ being rather higher.
Spanish Three per Cents. are at 38. Portuguese Four
per Cents. are worth 32k. Russian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been at 1011, and Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 591.
Railway Shares have not quite recovered from the
" banging' which took place late yesterday afternoon,
but they are decidedly on the move upwards, and are so
scarce that the Bears must buy back before the account
day. _
