MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for
export and on speculation. The market was tame and
spiritless, but with a fair demand at reduced rates.—The
Share Market was much excited, and there was a great
pressure of Stock for sale at a decline of 1 to 2 per cent.
The monthly trade and navigation returns of the
United Kingdom are to the sth ult. The total declared
value of exports was 4,621,0781., and at the same time
last year 4,751,8041., consequently there is a slight
falling cif. This does not arise, however, from a falling
off in the shipments of textile or other manufactures,
but from a reduction in the quantity of cotton twist
and a few other articles forwarded. The imports were
larger as regards sugar and spirits, but in coffee and
wine there was a falling off. The shipping returns
for the month may be summed up thus, taking vessels
engaged in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom:-
1850. 1851.
Inwards (tons) ... 520,619 ... 496,283
Outwards „ ... 423,803 ... 470,120
It should be stated, in further elucidation of this re-
turn, that the tonnage of vessels belonging to the United
Kingdom and its dependencies, comprised of the above
total the following amount:—

1850. 1851.
Inwards (tons) 326,058 325,096
Outwards " ... 272,295 ... 283,889
Inwards, therefore, the tonnage of British ships was
nearly as high as at the corresponding date of last year,
and outwards there was a decided increase, showing that
the ground has been well maintained by our shipowners.
The coasting navigation suffers still from railway com-
petition.
The position of the Bank of England amidst the poli-
tical crisis that is occurring will be very strong, and
quite independent of the Continent or its capitalists.
The weekly return to the 29th ultimo gives a higher
amount of bullion than before, with a further diminished
circulation, and a slight falling off in discounts. The
public deposit account increases, though it is not equal
to last year. Compared with the previous return, the
changes are as follows:

Yesterday afternoon Bills were negociated at very
firm rates upon the principal cities of the Continent.
Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 50 to 55, Antwerp at 25
45 to 50, Amsterdam at 11 184 to 19, and Hamburgh
at 13 101 to !. Very little was done, as under existing
circumstances there cannot be much inclination to send
money to the Continent.
The amount of gold in coin and bars exported from
London direct during the week, to Thursday last, was
3,192 ounces, and of silver 38,052 ounces—most of the
gold to France, and 23,000 ounces of the silver also.
The English Funds have improved very decidedly
this morning, Consols being 97 to 97k, and now 971
for Transfer, and 97i for January. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97i to 97i, and
the Three per Cents. 964 to 96k. Bank Stock is worth
2151, and India Stock 262 to 264, each being firm.

much less excitement in the market.
