MONEY' and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
i The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 3,000 bales. comprising 2,500 American, 150
Bahia at 8d to Bid, 100 Egyptian at lid to 9d, and 200
Surat at 54d to sid per lb. The market was very heavy
and prices of all kinds were #d per lb lower; American
at 7-id being sold at dto id decline.—ln Railway
Shares a fair business was done at full prices.
The Grain market is about the same as on Wed-
nesday.
In the Colonial markets the aggregate transactions
of the week have not been extensive, but there is still an
apparent determination on the part of importers to hold
on for a week or two, in expectation that the home de-
mand may then, as is usual at this season, become brisk,
and thus act upon prices, even if foreign buyers
should keep back. The consumption goes on well here,
and it is reasonable to infer that although the unsettled
state of political affairs abroad may check present ope-
rations, and sufficiently accounts for the dulness every-
where existing, the stocks must be getting reduced, and
under any circumstances will need replenishment. In
articles used for manufacturing purposes, a moderate
trade is doing. Cotton is less active, but wool sells
freely at full rates.
The accounts received from abroad are not at all fa-
vourably construed this morning, and a serious decline
has again occurred in the rates tor paper money. The
several Bourses have been affected as in a time cf
panic, and specie is bearing an enhanced value. At
Frankfort, on the 26th inst., Austrian Metallics were
not higher than 63 to ie with a ruinously low rate of ex-
change. Spani:h Three per Cents. were 31i to
The Prussian Government has received a large supply
cf silver from Ifamburgh for the army. At Amster-
dam, on the 27th ins., sales of Stock predominated,
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 52 9-16. Rus-
sian, Austrian, and Portuguese Bonds were all lower.
The letters from the United States by the steamer
Baltic prove the vigorous exertions made to bolster up
the price of Cotton, and the belief which the
organs of the planting interest are fostering that
they can compel Europe to pay almost any
price they choose. One journalist remarks that:—
" Some deductions drawn from the- above able circulars
of Du Fay and Co. of Manchester, and leading advo-
cates and great exponents of the spinning interest
of Greet Britain, corroborate the position we
have assumed, that the American planters can this
year dictate their terms to the spinners of yarn,
and it will be their own fault entirely if they lose the
entrenched position in which they now stand. The stocks
of raw material now only exist abroad in their seaports--
the interior is bare. Manufacturers are under contract
in Great Britain for two months on all kinds of goods,
and many for three or four months. There is no pros-
pect of a limit to the orders ahead, at present, as the
people of Europe (we mean the masses, who are the
great consumers) never were. so prosperous, and under
such full employment, at high wages, as at this time.
The deductions we allude to are three in number,
viz. The supply of United States' cotton has
fallen off by about 500,000 bales, but the deficiency has
been so far compensated by increased imports from
other countries as to reduce it to about 310,000 bales
in the aggregate. 2dly, The deliveries of United
States Cotton for consumption have decreased by about
320,000 bales, but those of other descriptions have
increased sufficiently to reduce the aggregate deficiency
to about 100,000 bales only. idly, The stocks ge-
nerally are reduced ostensibly to about 150,000
bales only—we say ostensibly, for 'the reduction
must be larger in reality. The stocks returned
in the Continental ports do not generally com-
prise those which are held in second, i. e., specula-
tors' and dealers' hands; these stocks, when prices are
moderate, and when, as was the case last year at this
time, a favourable opinion is entertained of the article,
are comparatively large, but now it may be fairly
assumed that such stocks are all but exhausted.
Our spinners must also have had very moderate stocks
on the let October, for they had purchased only at the
rate of about 22,500 bales per week for the ten weeks
preceding that date, and no reduction in the quantity
consumed by them had taken place, except that some of
them had changed from spinning low numbers of yarn
to finer numbers; almost all the mills had been in con-
stant operation, and several large new ones have been
added in the course of the year.
" These remarks are important now, as English agents
are swarming back by every steamer from Liverpool,
with their breeches pockets crammed full of orders, and
are busy telegraphing from every place at which they
stop to breakfast or dine, for fifteen minutes, on their
route to their southern posts, that there has been no
frosts, the fields are full of flowers, the yield enor
mous, and several fellow-passengers had died of sun
stroke, &c.

" The true policy of planters is simply, masterly in-
activity. Don't forward a bale to the ports that can be
avoided, as, once there, the English harpies consider it
their own as much as if it was on the railroad from Li-
verpool to Manchester. When the true position of this
crop is known in Europe prices will take a rapid ascent,
and we look for 20 cents per lb. to be paid for fair quality
of New Orleans Cotton before the Ist May next. For
two months to come, English agents will be forwarding
from this side large estimates of the production to scare
off competition in their purchases, and to lower the
Liverpool market, and thus act on prices south. Every
engine will be brought into play. Americans who will
consent to aid in this business, will have their travelling
expenses paid, and an allowance contributed for losses
by well placed bets, as was the case last summer."
In the English Stock Market there has been a re-
action this morning, and the tone is worse, solely
on account of the unfavourable tenor of the fo-
reign news; the fact that the Bank of England has
charged 2i per cent. for advances upon stock, repayable
within fourteen days, having probably contributed to
the existing heaviness. The sales made have not
been of importance, Consols being 96} for Transfer,
and have been 961 to 97i for January. Exchequer-bills
havo been rather heavier at 655. to 685., and India
Bonds at 85s. premium. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents, have realised 97i India Stock is
steady at 271.

Foreign Seeurites have been quieter. Russian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. have fallen to 94.141 Danish
Five per Cents. are at 99. Brazil Bones have been
quoted 87. Spanish Five per Cents. are 17i j, and Per-
tugucse Four per Cents. 331 to The settlement pro-
