MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday vas
steady, but dull. Sales 6,000 bales.—Railway Shares
were rather besvier.
We are authorised by Messrs. Franks and Millard to
state that no contract has been entered into by them for
5,000 bags of Ceylon coffee, as represented in the letter
of Mr. James Goodison, which appeared in The Sun of
lust evening. The following is another eery late letter
upon this very interesting subject:—
" Liverpool, Jan. 25, 1850.
" Sirs—By the arrival to-day of the Eurydice, from
Pernambuco, we are put in possession of advices from
Messrs. Edward Johnston and Co., of Rio do Janeiro, to
the 15th December.
" The quotations of Coffee on that day were for
Superiors... 5,200 to 5,300r5. per arr., 495. 6d. to 50s. 3d.
Good Ist ... 4,900 to 5,000r5. ~ 465. 11d. to 475. 9d.
Ist ordinary 4,600 to 4,700r5. , 445. 24. to 455. 31
per cwt. free on board, ex 'freight ex 27id.
Up to the Ist December very heavy sales were made at
these quctstions, but on the date of our advices our
friends report prices as nominal.
" The shipments from the Ist to the 15th December
ansouniel to 26,741 bags. The excessive high prices
dernatded had obliged consigne s of vessels to said
them back to the sates and elsewhere in ballast. The
stock of coffee - had in consequence accumulat.d, and
was estimated on the date of our advices at
90,000 to 100,000 bags in dealers' hands, and 25 000
bags held by speculators; a considerable decline
was confidently looked for in the beginning of
January, as it was generally supposed the crop would
not be so short as was anticipated three or four months
since, and the now crop (which promises to be very
abundant) is expected at market in Mardi.
"Exchange 27-id. to 27'1d. at which rates business had
been done for the Linnet packet. All depended on the
sales of coffee, as to how it would rule rfterwards.
" Freights were quite nominal, no cargoes offering f,r
any part of the world.
"-We remain, your obedient servants."
Accounts of August 11th, from South Australia, de-
scribe the Mining-share Market as being firm, and the
colony seems prosperous. Our Sydr ey dates are to
Septe-nber 22d, and the state of trade was then tolerably
good.

Franlifort adiicee, of the 26th instant, state that
Austrian Metallies were quoted 85, and Spanish Three
Eer Cents. 29a. At Amsterdam, on the 27th, the home
securities were quiet, and foreign well supported. 8.-
ruvian and Portuguese again higher.
There is a listless-market again fur Public Securities,
and prices are not quite so good. The idea cf a stout
opposition in the Lords and a movement in favour of
protection is one cause of the indisposition to buy,
but, on the other hand, the speculators for a
fall are not either active or confident, and it is the even
balance of opinion which keeps the gut t.tions so steady.

In the Foreign Markt t the South American stocks

Grenada Benda have been marked 18k, Equador
Mexican 29a t) 1, and Dutch Twc-and-i-llalf per

1101. The scrip is-31 to n premium..
in Railway Shares there has been rery little doing.
North Staffords a-e flatter, Great Western hive ad-
vance], North-Western are much the same, Reading,
Guileford, and Reigate not so good, and the foreign
lines are steady generally.
