MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITE 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, and 1,000 on speculation. The mar-
ket was steady, and prices of all kinds were id. below
the rates of Friday last.—ln Railway Shares a good
business was done at rather higher prices.
In the Produce markets this week the prices of some
of the principal articles of consumption have been in fa-
vour of buyers again, and the supply of Sugar especially
is large. Coffee has been firm. There is not the least
disposition on the part of holders to keep heavy stocks,
and in this, no doubt, they act wisely. The value of
Cotton still recedes under the effect of favourable
news concerning the crop. Indigo has been rather
more in request since the auctions, and Wool goes off
well. The Tea market has give❑ way. The stock is
decidedly greater tha❑ at this time last year, and the
imports into London this year have been 48,000,0001b5.,
against 34,000,0001 W. to the corresponding date of 1850.
The consumption has been 30,000,0001b5., against
28,000,0001n5. to July 16, 1850.
Of the Foreign Fruit market Messrs. Witherby and
Hanson state—" The clearances of Currants in London
for home consumption, from 19th ult. to 18:h inst., have
been 640 tons against 800 tons in 1850, 710 tons in 1849,
and 535 tons in 1848 during the like period. This is the fir►t
falling-off that has occurred in our deliveries since Christ-
mas as compared with those of 1850. The large delivery
in July, 1850, was the first increase since Christmas,
1849, lower prices at Liverpool having meanwhile caused
a continuous falling off here. Although the Liverpool
clearances still show a great decrease, the consumption of
the United Kingdom during the first five months of this
year has been 1,822 tons more than in 1850,
and 2,148 tons more than in 1849 during that
period. The reports of the growing crops are favourable.
An unusual absence of rain may in some parts have im-
poverished the quality, but there is a prospect of an early
and good yield, subject however to the sudden reverse
of which we last year had so painful an instance. It
will be imprudent in growers to look for a recurrence of
the high prices of last autumn, when Patras fruit opened
here at 455., and owing to unfavourable news
and tardiness in arrivals, advanced before Christ-
mas to 475. and 465., the range of prices
for all sorts having been 425. to 48s. They
should rather take as a basis those of previous seasons,
when prices opened ss. to 6s. per cwt. less, and before
Christmas presented a range of 335. to 385.; at and
under these rates for sound fruit a great consumption
will be certain; above them it will be checked, and a
serious downward reaction inevitable after the great
consuming season. They must not lose sight of the
fact that the present heavy stock consists principally
of low and perishing fruit, which will probably have
some influence upon the value of sound at this market
early next season."

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 23d inst. was
firm for Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at 58 15-16.
Mexican Bonds were better Iu Spanish there was nu
alteration.

Leiters from Vienna announce the taking of the Aus-
trian loan to the amount of 60,000,000 florins by Messrs.
Rothschilds, of Paris. The Stuck is to bear five per
cent. interest, and it is said will be issued at 85.
The directors of the North Stafford Railway propose a
dividend of 2s. 6d. per share. The arbitration with the
North-Western is still proceeding, and it is asserted that
the ktter could throw is,uch more traffic on to the North
Stafford it' so disposed. Ultimately no doubt the Legis-
lature will entorce this if arbitration cannot accomplish
it, and the North Stafford can protect itself by obtaining
another outlet even, if necessary.
The Funds are very steady again. Consols have been
96i 4 for Transfer, and 964 for Account. The New
Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to 99.
and the Three p,r Cents. 974 to Bank Stock has
been firm at 2161 to and India Stock at 26 Ex-
chequer-bills are 49a. to 523., and India Bonds 58s. to

Business in the Foreign market is very quiet, and
prices are generally firm. Sardinian Scrip is at ato 1
discount. Mexican Bonds have been 30i without the
dividend. Brazilian Stock is worth 90i . Spani,h Five

Railway Shares hare been buoyant again, especially
the Midland, Great Western, East Lancashire, Cale-
donian, and other lines most " Besred " recently.
French Shares are steady. A " call " of 20 per cent.,
it is stated, will be made on Dutch Rhenish, the agree-
ment with Prussia having been ratified.

HINTS TO TRAVELLERS IN FRANCE AND ITALY.-
The Ami de l'Ordre of Grenoble states that for the future,
when a traveller desires to proceed from France to Chain-
bery or Aix, he must be provided with a passport to the ex-
terior. Hitherto the obligation was not imposed on travellers
passing the frontier for these two places.
