And COMMEVLC IAL NEWS.
Gill', TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotten at Liverpsol yesterday- s era esti-
mated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 700 Ame-
rcan were taken for export and 300 on speculation.
The mar ket closed heavily, and prices rather in favour of
buyers.—The Share A.larket closed rather firmer.
The arrivals from abroad are few irr, number, and do
not furnish any news of importance. In the Amsterdam
market, on the 10:h inst., Dutch stock was firm, the
Two and-a-Half per Cents. being 571 to 3-16. At.
Frankfort, on the 9th inst., Austrian Masllies were 91-.1
for Morey, sad 91-g for Account. Spanish Three per
Cents. were 334 to 1.
From certain appearance:, which during the la t two
or three days have become more decided, we are led to
infer that the sound condition of the Money Market and
the prospect of further imports of bullion, far outweigh.
ing the sum which we may be called upon to pay for
foreign grain, are producing practical results, and
stimulating action on the part of those who have long
suffered their accumulated surpluses to remain inactive,
or so placed as to yield a very limited return in interest,
but be readily available when needed. The circum-
stances brought under public attention by the press,
and the opinion expressed almost unanimously
by the writers on monetary and commercial sub-
jects that matters were seldom in a sounder
position, tell gradually, and bring in capitalists
as buyers of securities or staples. The first indication
of a speculative disposition—and we must draw a proper
distinction between wholesome and undue speculation—
was in cotton. This article was run up partly on legi-
timate grounds, partly upon the strength of exaggerated
reports, and, having served the turns of the jobbers, has
become much quieter, and more on a par with the
demand. The staple which followed WAS sugar,
and of this immense purchases have been made
both for consumption and exportation to the
United States. Tea, coffee, end other articles have fol-
lowed at a little distance, and are all yielding fuller
prices to the importers. Wool sells freely at the public
sales, and Indigo, there is no doubt, will go off equally
well next month. This branch gone through by one
class of dealers, another have btea directing their at•
tention to transferable Securities, and although the
Funds, being comparatively at a high range, have re-
mained duller than for a long time past, and some of the
principal jobbers have been absent from town, we this
day perceive a change in an upward direction. It
is to Railway Shares we must look, however, as
having most sensibly improved, and from two or nree
causes. Alter a lengthened period of prostration end
doubt, a great increase of traffic, and far clearer elucida-
tion of accounts, have had the effect of inducing many
parties, who have for a year or two been largely ope-
rating for a fall, to turn their operation•. By closing
Bear accounts, they Lave thus given that first impulse to
the market which, once set going, receives an occasional
push from Lend fide buyers, who, time out of
mind, have neglected to buy when they could do so
cheapest. The result is, that railway property now
looks more cheerful than it has done for a long
per.iod. Joint-Steck Bank, Mining, and other
investments have likewise been sought for, and a new
field has been opened by the prospect of some arrange-
ment of the Spanish Foreign Deb'. These, though
brie fly noted, are the significant signs of the say, and
it will be pleasing to find heres.fter that they have
been right. We simply note them at present, and
leave them to the estimation of reflecting and experienced
parties.

The Funf's have gone higher again to-•day, ar.d the
account has now boon arrang(d. The fLictuation last
account was vafectly trivial. Consols have realised
this morning 96,1 to 96i II for Transfer, and there have
been several good money purchases. For October 15

In Railway Shares the chief transactions have been in
Great Western, South-Western, Midland, North Staf-
