MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 7,000 American,
150 Pernarn and Maranham at sid. to 6d., 50 Bahia at
Sid., 300 Egyptian at 54d. to 6id., and 300 Surat at 2id.
to 3i.1. per lb. The market was firm but quiet.—The
market for Railway Shares was quiet, but prices had an
upward tendency.
In review of the Produce Markets during the past
month, Me-ers. H. W. Jewesbury and Co. state—
" At the comisaenc?ment of the past month the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets were buoyant, in conse-
quence of the limited quantity of produce brought for-
ward, subsequently, however, holders freely offered
goods, and being anxious to realise, lower rates were
accepted ; yet dealers and others have only
supplied their immediate wants, and the same dull tone
which has prevailed for so long a time over these nsarkets
still continues. One or two articles are rather dearer
lately, but the prospect of any material improve-
ment is not very clear at present. The impor-
tations during the past month have been large,
and stocks are increased, but the deliveries con-
tinue good for home use, and are improved
for export. The Continental Produce Markets are
quiet, but prices are steady. There has been an in-
creased demand for Cochineal lately, and higher prices
were paid at public sale yesterday; rates ruled rather
easier for the lower qualities. Indigo is firm. Other
Dyes and dyeing materials are much the same as in our
last."

At Amsterdam on the 3d inst. Spanish Stock was
buoyant at fuller prices.
The Funds are very steady, and maintain the firm ap-
pearance that they had assumed at the close of
business yesterday. Consols have been 961 to for
Transfer, and 964 for Account. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98k to 99,
and the Three per Cents. 97?- to 11. Bank Stock
has been firm at 216. Exchequer-bills are still in
favour of buyers, being 465, to 48s. premium, and India
Bonds are 545. premium.

Scarcely any business has been done in Foreign Stocks.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 201 to 21,
being lower. Mexican Bonds are 31k. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 32i to 33i nominally,
Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted
59i. Sardinian Scrip is at par to premium.
Railway Shares are looking worse, and in faco of the
limited business doing the speculators for a fall have an
advantage. Great Northern, Midland, and South-
Eastern are weakest. The market was buoyant when
it opened this morning, as the traffic returns are ex-
pected to be very good, but sales have recommenced,
and those who " talk down " the market because they
are operating adversely thereto, stoutly maintain that
the traffic is no substa❑tial test, being temporary only,
and not sufficient to add much to the dividend. We
shall see towards the settling day whether the Bears are
not short of shares again, as upon the last account day.

FIRE AT THE ROYAL ARTILLERY FORAGE STORE.
WOOLYMII, AUG. 4.—About twelve o'clock to-day an
alarm was given that. the large forage store for the horses of
the Royal Artillery, situated on the north side of Artillery-
place, and opposite the north entrance to the barracks, was
on fire. The engines of the Royal Artillery, the Royal
Sappers and Miners, and Royal Marines were promptly on
the spot, but although a plentiful supply of water was ob-
tained, all attempts to stop the progress of the combustion of
the hay, straw, and oats:in chests were ineffectual for upwards
of two hours.

A CASE OF AFFILIATION.—tI fe,w months ego
Mr. IL Richards, of Veanol, near Towyn, Merionethshire,
obtained possession of a leveret, and having at the time a
bitch, whose puppies he had lust destroyed, he put the poor
creature to this bereaved mother,- and, strange to say, the
affections of the latter were at once transferred to the former,
and sho brought her up with all care, so much so, that the
poor little hare used to follow its foster-mother with all
affection to the fields, when tha maid went to milk the cows,
and even all the other dogs and cats of the family looked upon
and treated the orphan stranger as " one. of themselves."
We are sorry to say that " puss," having followed her
for ter-mother too froely about the fields a few days ago, was
lost, and most likely fella, victim to lola *pp doge—
