MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed firmly at previous rates, with the exception of
Pernam and Maranham, which were jl. to id. per lb.
higher.—liailway Shares were quiet, at rattier lower
prices.
Wheat is Is. per quarter lower again to day.
During the period between the 7th and the 23d inst.
the amount of bells drawn by the Honourable East India
Company was as under:—Beneal at 2s. ()id. per rupee,
81,663/ 34. 7d., and Madras 8;9251. 12s. 5d., Bombay at
2s 10.,3251.
Toe retrospect of the past week, in what concerns the
Share Market, is not encouraging, but fortunately the
intrinsic value of railway property is not to be measured
by its temporary oscillation. rt• we look at the traffic
returns of the past week we shall find nothing to dis
courage. On the contrary, the receipts of must of the
lines are large, and tome roads, that have not yielded
well tor the last month or two, show an improvement.
As regards the Midliind,its takings would be much larger,
but for the extremely reduced fares, and whenever an
amicable arrangement is come to,said to be very proximate,
there will probably be a much more favourable result;
fur, allowing that higher charges may ehi clr the influx
of passet.4,ers, a medium tariff must products more to the
excnequer than the system ut carrying peup!e almost fur
nothing. It is the ruinous conipe-it‘orr going on, not
only here but in other quarters, and especialay bet neer,
the leviathan cumpaure., the Gnat Western and the
North-Western, that impairs confi.leuce, and although
railways generally ought to give a buyer 5 per cent. on
the amount of bra investment, it is welt uunerstoud that
ant,uitania, provided there were certainty from one bait
year to another, that capital accounts were closed, habl•
Iltles rigidly de braid, and competition abolished, wool t
be fully satt,fied with 4 per tent. for their mout-y. Nu
one, can doubt that under a sound and definite pion
railways would (Jar fuller security than Government
stocks, as there is paint and au exclusive highway in the
one c,..se, and on!) credit in the other. As far as the
Speculators in shares ere concerned, IL Is right we suoula
apprise the bona fide hu dos that they expect to keep
the market dottu for about another mouth, or say until
the ena of September, and that many pr.( diet
a 101 l in North. W. Stern to 110, and in others propor-
tionably. A recoil about October, when capitalists and
business their gradually return to the metropolis, is then
anticipated, and it will depend upon the firmness or
weaness of those who possess railway snares, whether
the time dealers shall be ab a to carry out their plot—
reckoning upon the thin attendance of moneyed men,
and the paucity of the transactions at this season—and
have matters entirely their own Kay. If the public will
either keep aloof, or it, intending to buy fur investment
tney buy at once, or as soon as the Bears have involved
themselves in heavy sales, they may yet bade the gam
biers.

The steamer from the United States advises a tight
money-market at New Yolk. The exchange on Lyn-
don had talleo, and the demand for specie fur exporta-
tion to Europe was more limited. _Public Securities
were steady. Iu Cotton a fair business was doing at
previous rates.

Accounts on Friday last from Ilumburgh state that
the exchange on Lonuon was firm at 13 4. Stocks were
supported, and bills on London were ID much request.
Coffee was brisk at fully previous rates. Sugar likewise
had a better sale.

At St. Petersbargh, on the 16th instant, there was no
alteration in the prices of imports. Tall,,w had bet n
active, beitig taken on speculation rather than for ship-
topot. The price had been 123, and since was down to
117 R. Great fluetua;iuu was exptcLid until the end 01
the month.

In the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 23d inst.,
Dutch Bonds were steady, and Mexican rather higher.
The itnnours prevaient during the tut two days have
bten contiimed, and the well kLoen and highly•
respected firm ut Sigistuund, Rthker, and Suns, Colo-
nial brokers, has stkpended. 'lbis house hay been nag
established, and had very ex;ensive trausac,ions

Brezdian importers. In ibis way it has come
under heavy acceptances, which, in the present
state of the prueuee tem kets, are not easily
