MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken on speculation. The sales comprised 500 Pernam
and Maranham at SI to 91, 200 Egyptian at Sid. to 9d.,
and 500 Surat at el. to sid. per lb. The market closed
firmly with prices of all kinds of American against the
buyer.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at
higher prices.
From Liverpool Messrs. Joseph Robinson and Co. re-
port concerning the wool market that, throughout last
month, the demand has been limited, occasioned by the
threatening aspect of affairs on the Continent, which has
struck a degree of fear into several of the manufactu-
rers, and given them a pretext for attempting to reduce
prices. Under ordinary circumstances, their object
would have been achieved; but the heavy consumption
of the year, the healthiness of the trade, with its cheer-
ing prospects, and the limited supply of all descriptions,
causes an apparent indifference on the part of holders
to realize; the result is, that the market closes more
firmly, and many classes of low wools have further
advanced.
The Manchester market during the past month is de-
scribed by Messrs. McNair, Greenhow, and Irving, in
the following terms:—" We have it in our power to re-
port the existence of transactions during the month of
great magnitude. India, China, and other Eastern
markets, with the improved condition of those in Brazil,
Spanish America, and the British West Indies,—as re-
gards the latter a gratifying fact considering the very
revere transition which they have had to undergo,—have
required considerable, in the aggregate large, operations
to 00 entered into. To these must be added, considering
the season of the year, November being proverbially in-
active in that respect,—a comparatively unexpected extent
of business fur the country trade.
" The outward and real appearances of the market
during the month have been of a sluggish and mono-
tonous character, unrelieved save by the more favour-
able appearances of matters on the Continent, and the
somewhat telling accounts from the United States, for
the time being, of disastrous frosts and other fatalising
accompaniments with respect to cotton. The former
have so far proved fallacious; and the latter by subse-
quent tidings have induced holders of the article in this
country, generally, to become willing sellers, and to ac-
cept rates lower than those ruling a month ago.
" Prices have, under all the circumstances, been sus-
tained with remarkable firmness. As will be seen,
however, by a reference to our quotations, they have
given way in many cases to a trifling extent both as re-
gards cloth and yarns. The concession made by spinners
and manufacturers has not proceeded from any necessity
to realize from the existence of stocks, but from a na-
tural and general desire on the part of each to secure the
possession of orders, in preference to continuing to pro-
duce for stock at the present price of the raw material."
The cane is represented as being in a very flourishing
condition this year in Cuba, and it is expected that the
harvest will be much more plentiful than the last. In
some estates they do not expect to bo able to grind up
all the corn grown.
Late Lima papers furnish details of an attempt which
had been made upon the life of General Belzs, Presi-
dent of Bolivia. While walking, on the 6th of Septem-
ber, with Colonel Laguna, President of the Senate,
Don Augustin Morales, and others, a student named
Juan Sotomayer fired a pistol, which wounded Belza in
the face. As he fell, another pistol was fired by Mo-
rales, but the ball only slightly grazed him. Some slight
attempt at a revolution appears subsequently to have
been made, but without success. The origin of the affair
is imputed to General Ballivian, formerly President of
the Republic, who, with his partisans, had withdrawn
from the country. The President of the Senate Colo-
nel Laguna, was implicated in the conspiracy, and con-
demned to be shot. The sentence was carried into
effect on the 13th of September. Morales and Sotomayer
ha.l also been similarly sentenced.
The letters received this morning from the Continent
quite bear out yesterday's anticipations. A rapid reac-
tion is occurring in the quotations of Public Securities,
and the value of the precious metals is again tending
downwards.

The greater buoyancy which yesterday prevailed in
the Stock market has continued, and there is an increased
disposition to wake investments. The announcement
that the danger of a Continental war is past acts upon the
more timid, and will induce parties whohave been specu-
lating fur a rise to act very cautiously, and probably to
close gradually in anticipation of a rise which many con-
sider nut to be improbable, as in the course of a week
the dividend will be deducted from the quotation of
Consols, thus waking them sh,,ut 96, if we
take the present value of 971 I for Transfer. In time
bargaining, however,`there is a difference, as :,;x weeks
have to elapse before the January settlement,
and accordingly the quotations for that period
are 971 Y. Bank Stock is worth 212 to i
Exchequer-bills have been marked 655. to
68s. premium, being the former quotations. India Bonds
are 86s. to 88s. premium. Long Annuities have been
at 74.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been at
very full rates, but there is not quite so much doing.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 181, and the
Passive Bonds 31. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
realized 34. Peruvian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents. have
been quoted 791, and the Deferred 35k. Mexican Stock
has been at 34 1, a further slight advance. Russian
Bonds look better, the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. beihg
96i- 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. have been 56i.
Railway Shares have been very buoyant again,
and there has been a large business done in
them. North-Western have maiutaiuel the rise to
10fr and 20 premium, and Midland have been as high as
44. North Britith have been in favour at an advance to
8. and South-E.steru have been vs high as 21*, Enough
since dune at 20i and 21. Great Northern ale attract-
ing attention, and small but numerous purchases ace
stated t., have bean made within the lust tew days for
investment. Blaekwall are a shade better, and
there have been large dealings in South. Western, Owing
to the assertion that a saving will b, effected of 30 0001.,
equal to -f per cant. upon the dividend, in working the
hue. The foreigu lines are brisker and at fuller values.
Sambre and Meuse have been at 3, and Northern i f
France have tun up to 1-ii. Namur and Liege, how-
ever, are rather heavy. United Mexican Mine Shares
are firm at 61. .
