MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
_ _ _

The demand for Cotton 'at -Liverpool yesterday was very
moderate, the sales being 1,500 bales, and prices still tended
downward.—Shares were very dull; and prices were barely
supported. Birmingham and Gloucester. were 86i,. Chester
and Holyhead 7, Eastern
,Cpunties 11k, Edinburgh and Glas-
gow 644, aGrand Junction 232, Great Western Half 70,
Dublin and Cashel 44, Birmingham 234, North Midland
Half 45k, Paris and Lyons 2f, Paris and. Orleans 35h, South
Eastern 36k.
There are no colonial late arrivals this morning.
The accounts from New York,which we' only briefly noticed
yesterday, give the following interesting commercial infor-
mation

"The immense receipts at our Custom-house for duties
on imports, and the great value of the merchandise that pro-
duces this revenue, is of the utmost importance to the Go-'
vernment and the community. The quantities of foreign
goods daily arriving in this country will soon create a surplus
stack, and fill the market with supplies greater than the
heaviest trade anticipated can reduce.
" The receipts at this port for Customs for'the past week
amounted to 493,587 dollars. This is only a little more than
half those of the week previous. The cause of this falling oil'
was the non-arrival of packets, not one coining in during the
week.

"REVENUE FROM CUSTOMS AT THIS FORT.
Total receipts for January, 1844 1,874,682 dole,
Do. from Ist to 24th February - 2,016,587
Estimated receipts from Feb. 24 to March 1 507,000

Total receipts for the first two months in 1844 4,398,269
" This averages more than two millions a month. It is
estimated that the average duty paid on the imports of this
year will not vary much from 33 per cent., which will make
the value -of the imports up to the Ist March, a little more
than 13 million dollars. This is only the value of dutyable
imports: Merchandise entered free will swell this amount
very. much. Within the time this revenue has
been accumulating there • have been two arrivals
from Canton—the cargoes of which were very valu-
able, and composed principally of free goods. There
have also been several arrivals from South America and the
West India Islands, from which places a large amount of
merchandise is imported, paying no duty.. The value of all
these cargoes, added' to those paying duties, -will increase
the amount of importations within the past month to nee 7y
20,000,000 dollars." The facts here stated should inspire,
caution'among Our shippers.
The Commissioners purchased about 30,000/. Consols thii
morning, for -the Savings Banks and the Redemption
Fund, at 981. Independently
.of this operation, the
transactions have been very few. We understand
that as respects holders of the Three- and-a-Half per tents.
in Europe—(who have time till the 2d June to forward
1 their ' decisions)—lnot one dissent has yet come to
hand. - The current valtie of Consols for Money this
• morning -has been from 984 to 981, and for the Accotint
the same. Money continues ahundant,- and it is so ex-
tremely difficult to -find employment for it that not more
than 1/. per cent.. can be obtained for short periods
upon the first class of securities. Exchequer Bills have been
sold at 68s. and 70s. premium ; and India Bonds at 86s: prem.
India Stock has been at 292, for money. and Bank Stock at
.200-to 20(' for account. The New Three-and-a-Half tier
Cents. are 102/ to a. , •
The more the expos' of the Finance Minister of Spai is
considered, the more absurd is held to be the proposition or
raising a newloan in''-this country. -However, it is•put bey nd
question that the attempt will be made, a sum having b en
set aside:to pay the interest upon it, should flats eno gh
be found to subscribe the money for the at pres nt
bankrupt treasury of Madrid. Not the leaSt reha cc
can -be - placed upon the promises •of the Fine ce
Ministers of Spain from Mendizabg doWnwards, all hay ng
assumed honesty and all, having used the influence of o cc,
chiefly with the view of feathering their own nests. There-
fore, but'a limited amount-of credit ought to be given by lre
lir
public of this 'country to' any new scheme,. having for its
object the, extraction of further capital to support the T a-
stify of Donna. Isabella. In the• Foreign Stock Market he
