MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es•
timated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales consist of about 4,000
American, 110 Pernam and Maranham at Sid. to 61d.,
20 Bahia at 60., 100 Egyptian at Sid. to iid., and 500
Surat at 3d. to 4d. per lb.—The Share market was rather
firmer.

There has lawn a cautious lino of policy adopted again
this week by holders of produce in not pressing sales,
but this, perhaps, is as much the result of necessity as
liking. The arrivals are increasing from all parts owing
to the change of wind which has brought in so many
vessels that have been long detained at sea. Buyers act
as charily as ever, and it requires concession in price to
induce them to operate at all freely. Cotton is not so
brisk, and Indigo rules dull, owing to the large supply
to be brought forward at the next auctions. Other sta-
ples consumed for manufacturing purposes have been in
less request. Sugar, Coffee, Tea, and Tallow, have bee❑
taken sparingly. In Tobacco a moderate business has
been done.

The following is the report upon the London markets
For the month by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co.:—
" The markets for foreign and colonial produce con-
.

tinue extremely depressed, notwithstanding the deliveries
are upon the same large scale, and money is abundant
for legitimate purposes; doubtless the failures which
have taken place, and the rumours that have been in
circulation, have tended to produce this result, together
with an uneasy feeling that sooner or later produce to
a considerable extent will be forced upon the market.
Purchases are consequently made with great caution, and
as much as possible curtailed in their extent. The de-
mand for Indigo (chiefly Guatemala), Cochineal, and
Lae Dye has been fair during the past month, and pre-
vious rates have been fully maintained; other dyes and
dyeing materials are much the same as in our
last. The reports from the continental markets
notice only a moderate demand at former rates.
The next periodical sale of Indigo will commence
on Tuesday the 7th inst. The declarations reach the
large amount of 21,389 chests. The effect of this large
quantity being announced has been to prevent business
to any extent in Bengal sorts during the past month,
and many orders have been withdrawn under the im-
pression that prices will rule lower in the approaching
sale. It is currently reported that 6,000 or 7,000 chests
will be withdrawn, either before or very early in the
sale; this would leave about 14,000 chests, of which the
actual number sold will probably be about 7,000 chests.
The stocks both at home and on the continent are
known to be unusually small, yet the demand for con-
sumption having been checked by the advance in Octo•
ber last, when prices rose is. per pound, the trade have
not recovered from the effect of high prices, and the
substitution of other colours."

Yellow Candle Tallow is quoted 395. for new, and
38s. 9d. for old 1850; but during the past month the
price was higher, and 10s. to 15s. per ton above these
prices have been obtained for several hundred tons.
There is one feature in the market of very great im-
portance, i, e,, the fact of the Russians, after
refusing to sell their Tallow to the English
houses at St. Petersburgh, having made arrange-
ment with houses in London to send on con-
signment from 35,000 to 40,000 casks, with an agree-
ment that the consignees are to hold it for 12 months,
should the consigners desire them to do so.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the Ist inst. was
brisk, and at one period prices were advancing for home
Securities, though they closed a shade lower, Dutcl,
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. hnving been 581. Spanish
Bonds were animated, and Mexican more offered.

The position of the English Stock Market has again
improved, and, under the influence of the large bullion
imports and the favourable reports of the East Indian
and United States money markets, prices are expected
to go higher rather than otherwise. Consols have beet
96i to for Transfer, and 961- to 97 for Account. The
premium on Exchequer-bills has been 43a. to 465. East
India Stock has realised 260 i. The continued decline
in the Rentes at Paris seems to have no effect here.

Foreign Securities are generally firm. Spanish Five
per Cents. have been at 20,1 and the Three per Cents.
at 374. Mexican Bonds have been 27 to 271 norni.
nally, being firm. Peruvian Old Stock is worth 834
ex. div. Russian Five per Cents. have been at
111, French Three per Cents. 56 25, with the exchange
at 25 20, and Dutch Four per Cents, at 904 -7- ex-div.
Sardinian Bonds have been at 82:1.
Railway Shares are much quieter, and in most in.
stances not quite so high, but no marked change has
occurred.

ANTICIPATED PLEASURES.—PIeasure owes its
greatest zest to anticipation. The promise of a shilling fiddle
will keep a boy in happiness for a year. The fun connected
with its possession will expire in an hour. Now, what is
true of schoolboys is equally true of men. All they differ in
is the price 9f their fiddlu•
