MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK:

The sales yesterlay at Liver') ,o 1 were 4,000 bales,
including- 300 Surat for export. The market closed
heavily, but with rather more evenness, and prices ,are
changed. The sales include 150 Pernam and Maranham,
at Sid. to 81d.; 100 Egyptian, Bd. to Sid.; 1,000 Surat,
sd. to 6d., and the remainder American.—The Share
market was dull the greater part of the day, but im-
proved in the afternoon, and closed with a batter ap-
pearance.
The Colonial Produce Markets have been rather
quieter this week, and prices have ruled somewhat lower
tor the principal staples. Generally, however, holders
are indisposed to force sales, and if there is an absence
of speculation consumption goes on fairly.
The following is au account of the Manchester markets
furnished by Messrs M'Nair, Greenhow and Irving :
" External appearances merely would appear to have
failed in affording any materially correct indication of
the actual condition of this market, arising from a whole-
some desire on the part of many of those more immediately
connected with and interested in its transactions to pins-
sue their respective callings in a comparatively quiet and
viewless manner. Such at least we not only believe,
but infer from the extensive business transactions which
have had existence for some time past. From the date
of our last circular to the arrival of the first overland
mail, matters continued as then reported to be existing.
The accounts generally having been considered favour-
able, an active demand immediately followed, for Bom-
bay chiefly, which continued until the receipt of the se-
cond overland dispatches, which, aided by intelligence from
some other large-consuming markets, indicating, along
with those from Bombay and Calcutta, a material ap-
proximation to the rates ruling here for Cloth and
Twist, induced increased activity in purchasing to an
extent that not only removed any previous and general
accumulation of stock, but placed many producers under
contract for a while; hence, though no animation,
beyond a momentary one has characterised the
markets a very large business, as you will have per-
ceived, has been transacted, attended with an actual
advance upon all counts and qualities of India yarns, and
some descriptions of shirtings, &c., as well as having
imparted a firmer and hardening tendency towards
other kinds. We should add, however, that the firm
position of the Cotton Market, arising from the absence
of more favourable accounts respecting the growing crop,
induced purchases to be made with greater confidence,
from a belief that should no unforeseen casualty happen,
no material downward tendency in the value of that ar-
ticle need for some time be apprehended. The critical
position of affairs in Germany, and the reported proba-
bility of another continental war, have, we may mention
in passing, not been without their influence here during
this and the two previous days. Operations for the
Continent have been much restricted, and a general de-
sire prevails to act cautiously."
The Overland advices are favourable as regards trade
at Calcutta, but not so good from Bombay.
In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 30th inst.
Dutch Stock was rather in favour, and closed at 56 5-16.
Spanish, Portuguese, Austrian, and Russian Bonds were
firmer.

This being the day on which the half-yearly balance
is taken at the Bank of England, is observed as a holi-
day at the Stock-Exchange.
