MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 600 Air:rise:in and 120
Egyptian were taken on speculation. The sales com-
prised 4400 American; 600 Peream end Maranhare, at
74d. to 81-it.; 400 Bahia, ate 7i d. to Bjd.; 1,700 Egyptian,
at lid. to Sid.; 600 Surat, at 34d. to 5d.; and 20 Sea
Island, at Is. 2d. to Is. 6icl. per lb. The market was
firm, but inactive.—RailtVay Shares were buoyant, and
prices had an upward tendency.
Messrs. Baumann and Wunsch, of Glasgow, write,
concerning the trade of that city, as under:—
" We have scarcely any change to report in the state of
cur market during the last month. The prices of all
our staple articles have been steadily maintained at pre-
vious rates, and although we hear -many complaints of
dull trade, we are convinced, nevertheless, that a steady
and satiefactory business is. doing, and is only less ap-
parent because distributed into different channels.
" The various tables of import and consumption of
Cotton Wool during the 'past year, as published by the
Liverpool houses, show that even such extravagant
prices of the raw material as have been submitted to
have not materially checked the consumption of Cotton
Wool, while our exports, including the first month of
the present year, show a large and regular increase, as
compared with former ye are.
With the example of the past year before us, and
with the prospect of a metro plentiful supply of the raw
material, •if not from the 'United States, at least from
all otherquartors, s e 'fear not but that, even in the or-
dinary course of trade, we may look forward to steady
and remunerative emphe ment for our artizans. But
the visit of so many foreign buyers as will be attracted by
the Great Exhibition mus.a unavoidably have au influence
in increasing our exports beyond the usual proportion,
for it is within the experience of every one engaged in
business, that personal communications tend far more
than any correspondence could do to increase transac-
tions, and i mere particularly so when the selection of
goOds depends so much upon the intimate knowledge of
the tase and wants of the various markets, which we may
expect our foreign visitors to passers.
" Much time and attention has bean given by our
manufacturers, during the laSt month, to the comple-
tion of their arrangements for the forthcoming Exhi-
bition. Various novelties, from the lowest priced cot-
ton handkerchief up to the most costly shawls, have
made their appearance, or are still in progress, and
so far as we have been able to judge, most of the
productions are of the most practical character, and
such as could be repeated at any time,. and in large
quanti tie s."

The Bombay letters to the Ist ult., per Overland
Mail, advise continued tightness in the Money Market,
and dulne.s of trade in consequence. The Commercial
Bank was a loser by the failure of Messrs. D. and M'
Pestonjee, but not to a serious extent.
At Amsterdam on the 2d inst. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were 57i I, and at Frankfort Austrian
Meta Dies were 734 to 74, Spanish Threes 331.
The English Stocks have been very quiet again, but
the quotations are firm. Consols have realized 964 for
Transfer and Time. The temporary arrangements for
the continuance in office of the Whig Ministry excite no
fluctuation, having been anticipated. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97i to 98, and the

In the Foreign Market prices are looking up, Spanish

Peruvian Stock is 824 to 83,-and Brazilian, old, 92i to

improvement. Russian Stock is at 112 for the Five per

Railway Shares are again' looking up, and there is
great activity; advanced prices have been paid for Aber-
