MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, of which about
6,000 were taken on speculation. The market elostd
firmly.--In Railway Shares a fair business was done at
improved quotations.
The accounts received from the manufactuting dis-
tricts relative to this week's operations aro, very stt s-
factory, whether as regard.: cotton or woollens, but the
latter especially; and s+. r. G. F. Maudley i emarks t..f the
Bradford trade as follows :
_

" The upward tendency of prices noticed in my last re-
port has been fully developed, and augmented prices have
been paid both for the raw staple and finished tabric•. Wool
has been moved off freely at an advance of some 15 per
cent. on Middle Wethers. Yarns continue to be pro-
duced to order, sad spinners thus engaged will not accept
contracts at a less advance than 4d. to 6d per gross, or
say ld. per lb. Indeed spinners of Mohair and Alpaca
Yarns are so full of orders that they are unwilling to give
quotations. Piece goods of all sorts are taken off as soon as
out of the looms, and all the Lett makers are under con-
tract for some months to come. A farther rise of about
a shilling per piece has been establish, d fur ail eh scrip-
tions. These causes, combined wi.h an advance in th
prices of dyeing, strictly enforced by the master dyers,
who have entered into a league for the upholding a❑
uniform and higher tariff, render the market a very
awkward and unpleasant one for buyers, and fur agents
under limits espf eially, and there appears to be at pre-
sent no prospect of a spi-cdy reaction,—the prebabilitif s
being rather in the country direction. This district has
now, for some eighteen months past, been in a highly
prosperous condit►on; the operatives all fully employed
at excellent wages, and their employers realising hand-
some profits."

The weekly account of the Bank cf England locks
well again, and better than before in rt spect to the em-
ploy meat of the asse's of the eitablishment. The ad-
vances upon Other Securities were greatly extended, and
this led to an lucre of active circulation, nt so large,
however, as it would have been, because of some addition
being made to the deposits. The amount to the credit f
Government has reached its maximum for the present.
The bullion was a little diminished. Compared with the
preceding week, the results are as follow:

There was a little improvement yesterday afternoon
in the rates at which bills were negotiated upon some of
the continental cities, but still with no large amount of
business doing. Hamburgh, 90 days, was quoted 13 11
to 12, Paris 25 67 to 70, Antwerp 25 65 to 70, and
Trieste 12 10 to 12 12.

The exports of bullion from London this week have
been 130,000 ounces of silver, 15,150 ounces of gold, the
former to France and Belgium, and the latter to Ger-
many,

There are Rio de Janiero advices of May 6. They
report trade as being dull. Exchange on London, 27i.
The Funds opened high this morning, Consols being
96i to 97 for special tran,fer and ex-dividend. Speculative
sates to realize prufi s have just been made, and these
have reduced the quotations to 964. The New Three-
and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 984 to 99. Exchequer-
bills realize 675. to 70s. premium.
Foreign Stocks have gone back a little. Mexican are
30 to i; and Peruvian 824 and 82k. Grenada are bet-
ter, viz., lBi b. Spanish Three per Cents. realize 37k.
Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. have been 564 ex div.
Railway Shares are rather in favour of buyers, but
with few sales.
