CITY, QUARTER TO THUEE.
The Cotton Market at Li vsrpeol en Saturday was very
firm at pr^clime rates; the sal s were estieneted at 6,000
bales, of whicli 2,000 American aed 500 Su: at wire
taken on e;:ee3lation. The slet comprised 5,000
At rican, at 64d. to 713.; 300 Perroim and Maranham,
at 60. toe2'ti.; and 300 Surat, at. 41. to 41d. per lb.-
In lisilway Shares only a limited business was dune,
and generally at lower rates.
The Corn Market is heavy to-day.
The following is part of an elaborate statement upon
the metal trade, furnished by Mr. William Short:-
" Iron-The aspect of the market, and the nature of
the demand, have changed frequently through the year.
In the first three months bars in Wales ranged from
51. 10s. to 61., and at one time touched 61. 55.; but
throughout the summer they remained about 5/. To-
wards the end of October they had dropped to 41. 12s. 6d.;
but as the large shipments to the United States had ex-
hausted stocks in dealers' hands at Liverpool, a very
'active demand sprung up early in November, and con-
siderable business was done, beginning at 4/.
12s. Gd., and ending at hi., which was per-
haps the nearest price at the close of
1849, although some makers ask Si. 53. The
shipments of iron to all India, from London and Liver-
pool alone, are 37,448 tons, or nearly double those of
1848, three times the exports of 1847, and five times
those of 1846, so that the requirements of India seem to
be on the increase. All experience proves that no
money power can permanently establish high prices,
when the production of any article greatly exceeds (as
Scotch Pigs do) the demand. We may anticipate con-
siderable orders for the United States, and it must not be
forgotten that our whole exports to that country in 1849
were only 94,000 tons, whilst the increase of stocks, in
despite of these exports, reaches above 100,000 tons.
Copper-Sheathing was at 9d. per lb. in January, rose to
10d. during February, March, and April ; tell to 9d. in
May, June, July, and August ; was again advanced in
in September to 90., and continued at that price.
Tin-English Block was at 87s. in January, rose to
925. in February, and gradually fell to 735. in June,
and so remained until the close of the year, when it wail
suddenly advanced to 80s., a d seems likely to
be higher. Bence had declined to as low as
705., but as English tin got scarce Banes
became in more request, and considerable parcels being
taken at 785., the market is now stiff at 80s., and Straits
Tin 3s. to es. cheaper. Spelter fluctuated less than any
other metal, which is very unusual. The highest price
during the year was 16/., and the lowest 14!. 10s., to
which it declined in July. Since then heavy purchases
have been made, and the price has reached
16/. to 16/. 2s. 6d. Quicksilver having steadily declined
from 3s. Gd. in January, 1849, to 3s. in October, has
again risen to 3s. 6d, and is firm at the advance."
The steamer from the West Indies and Panama,
fully due to-day, has not arrived. She will bring, it is
sere', a considerable amount in gold dust.
The continental advises possess but little interest, and
are sal comparatively in arrear. There was an in-
crease last year in the number of ships sailing from Haw
burgh front 3,298 to 3,416
Formal notice has been given by the leading discount
houses in Lombard-street, to the effect that they can
now allow but l per cent, for money on " call,' and
some of the joint-stuck banks are preparing to reduce their
allowance upon customers' balances to 1 per cent. In
Scotland a similar movement is making, and everything
betokens a cheapening of capital, which must exercise Is
powerful influence upon the Bank of England, and per'
haps bring it at an early period to the in cessity of
further lowering its discount. How long the directors
can postpone such a step it is scarcely possibly to BO'
but the speculators in produce and public securities are
under the impression that the minimum may be 2 per
cent. even en Thursday next. We must say we should
prefer a slight delay, especially if the Bank experiences
any increase in the securities offered for discount or the
obtainment of loans, as was shown in the last weekly re'
turn, although we are inclined to think such was the
result of purchases of Consuls.
The Ravenue accounts give general satisfaction in the
City, and the slight decrease in the year, atter such itly
portant reductions, the postponement of the hop-dilly'
and the absence of China money, is held to be the sure
harbinger of a preigressive increase. The augmentation
on the quarter, however, offers most encouragement in
this re.i-pect. and we see no reason to doubt but that the
current three months will be equally productive.
We have received from Messrs. Railson and Sons, of
Manchester, some very useful reflections and suggestions
upon railway property. They contend that-
"ln every rail ay there should be one master-minded
competent person appointed, for the regulation of Pet
sons placed at the head of every department connected
with the works, (excepting the books, which the pubb.o
auditor will take care to keep right, aided by his col"
leagues in that department). Such managing direclo
should have no share in the capital stock of the OW
pany, neither should he have a vote at the board; but he
should be entitled to sit at all board meeting,l4
He should, in fact, sit at the board as a sett
of silent representative of the shareholders,
etn '
watch dispassionately their interests. Such is V'
vastness of increasing floating wealth seekiet
employment or investment at the present time, and ot'
confused condition it labours under, that the Three Per
Cent. Consols, taken at 97, yield only 3/. Is. 11id. Pet,
cent. per annum, the discount of commercial bills 2 to
4 per cent., and securely guaranteed railroad laves%
ments 4/. 103. 7d.! Above all, the public must save
correct statistical information, in the most simple ford
of the condition and proceedings of all railroads. It /
as necessary for public saorty, and for the security „/
their own shareholders, as the weekly statement of the
Bank 01 England.
" Allow us to suggest, with a view to the requiqa
improvement, that all railway books should be kept ule
double entry, and on one general uniform system. Th°94
connected with cepital should be kept perfectly 11Pie
horn income, by separate books, and perhaps septet,
bankers. They would be easier to audit, errors or If,
tempted frauds would be sooner detected, and the heinf
yearly statements tor the intormation of proprietors ",_
stock and the public would be the easiest accomplishel,
Two suitable auditors should be elected by each 00wr
pany, and the two should appoint a public accountant of
acknowledged talent, conversant with the routioe.he
railway affairs, as a third auditor. In
1;00
event of any disagreement between the
aecoutoant-auditor and the other two audit°, or
an appeal should go before some Government officish_ej
Government board, which should be promptly ansive!,,,
and be final. But if the Government should make i.,"4
appointment of the public accountant as auditor, *IL
any difference should arise, the case also should
decided by the Government board. No private stlePed
accounts should be allowed in money affairs; eve e;
matter should be entered at once in its proper Pleeoe
shareholders require to know that the accounts are,
a
they stand, really faithful and true, and that notPc%
whatever is concealed. Some clear mode for 01"
proxy votes should be given by the proprietors." rot
It is confidently stated that Government are preP'ri
to assist those Irish railways, as in the case of the %a
and Bandon, which are in a condition to comply 00
certain requirements made by the Exchequer
-14(!eg
Commissioners. The Dublin and Belfast Junction
billin this condition is expected to obtain a loan of 300,9 she
which will enable the directors forthwith to complete
line.
The English Funds have been re-opened to genere'
iett
transfer to-day, and there has been the usual dispositdhe
to make sales by parties, who bought principally Moo
dividends. This nay last a day or two, but in the,,e(o,
of a diminishing rate of interest among the bllll7opsr
will soon be counteracted. Consols have ranged 'Ac,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.

The country markets held on Saturday were some-
what firm for Wheat, the prices of which bad an up-
ward tendency. There was a slightly increased demand
for spring Corn and the best parcels of Flour. We have
no later advices from the United States than those re-
ferred to last week. The stocks of Grain in the Baltic
and Black Sea ports are represented as heavy, with a
very inactive demand. In France rather large parcels
of Flour have changed hands for shipment to England.
Very moderate supplies of English Grain arrived up to
our market last week. From abroad we received 6,001
quarters of Wheat, 8,597 ditto of Barley, 7,863 ditto of
Oats, 274 ditto of Beans, 701 ditto of Peas, 168 ditto of
Tares, 40 ditto of Linseed, 220 ditto of Rapeseed, 75
ditto of Mustard Seed, 34 ditto of sundry Seeds,
3,666 sacks and 12,384 barrels of Flour. The
quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to our
mat ket this morning coastwise, from Kent, was tolerably
good and of excellent quality. That from Essex,
Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, &c., was comparatively small.
By land carriage and samples the receipts were trifling.
Notwithstanding the stands were scantily filled, and the
attendance of buyers was somewhat numerous, the
demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce, owing
to the heavy importations of Flour from France and the
United States, and which are likely to be pressed for
sale during the next two or three weeks, was in a very
.luggish state. Selected samples of both Red and
White were, however, mostly disposed of at prices about
equal to those on this day se'nnight; but, in some in-
stances, Is per quarter less money was accepted by the
factors for the middling and inferior kinds,
and a clearance was with difficulty effected.
With foreign Wheat, we were tolerably well, but not to
say largely, supplied. The millers purchased all kinds
very cautiously. Fine Wheats were mostly held at
fully previous rates. In the out-of-condition sorts
scarcely any business was transacted, and the quotations
must be considered somewhat easier. We had a fair
show of must kinds of Barley for the time of year.
Really fine Malting parcels produced fully previous rates;
otherwise the Barley trade was in a very sluggish state.
The quantity of Malt ready for delivery was trifling. The
transactions in that article were, nevertheless, small, at
barely stationary prices. The large brewers
are not buying to any extent. The show of
Oats, both English and foreign, was compara-
tively small. Sound Corn sold at full rates of currency;
but all other qualities were neglected. In Beans next
to nothing was doing, and prices were the turn lower.
The demand for all kinds of Peas was heavy, at barely
the late decline in value. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour,
moved off heavily, at barely late rates.

SEED MARKET.
So little was doing in Seeds as well as Cakes to-day
that our quotations were almost nominal. The total
shipments of Linseed from the whole of the Russian
ports last year fell short of those of 1848 by 400,000
quarters. The stock of Clover Seed in bond is
46,000 cwts.

SMITHFIELD.
The continued severe frost on the Continent has caused
the imports of foreign stock into London during the past
week to be unusually small. The total importation has
not exceeded 507 head. During the same week in 1849
we received 1,142, and at the corresponding period in
1848, 1,225 head. Letters from Rotterdam, and the
other principal shipping ports abroad, state that, not-
withstanding the low prices ruling in this market, the
supplies ready for shipment are heavy, especially those
of Sheep, and that large numbers will be forwarded
hither on the breaking up of the frost.

The following official statement shows the imports of

months of 1848 and 1849, ending on the sth Dccember
in each year:—

Some months since we hcd occasion to prove the in-
accuracy of the returns issued by the Board of Trade.
It is now necessary that we should observe that the
above are the most accurate ones that have yet been
issued officially since the present tariff came into opera-
tion. The number of Foreign Stock in to-day's market
was very limited, yet it was quite equal to the wants of
the dealers. Fresh up this morning the arrivals of
home-fed Beasts were very limited for the time of year,
and of middling quality. Notwithstanding the coldness
of the weather, and the increased number of buyers in
attendance, the Beet trade was in a sluggish state.
However, most of the Beasts on offer were disposed of at
about last week's quotations. Th., extreme price for the
best Scots Was 45 2(1 per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 800 Scots
and Shorthorns; from the northern grazing districts,
1,000 Shorthorns ; from the western and midland
counties, 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; and
from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds.
With:sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily,
supplied. The general quality of that description of

stock was good. On the whole the demand for most
breeds ruled steady at last week's prices. The primest
old Downs sold at 4s 2d to 4s 4d per 81b3. Prime small
Calves moved off steadily at last Monday's quotations;
otherwise the Veal trade was heavy. We had a very
moderate inquiry for Pigs, yet late rates were well sup-
ported in every instance.
