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

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market
closed firmly, at rather higher prices.—ln Railway
Shares a steady business was done, with prices rather
tending upwards.
The Corn Market is dell this morning, and prices
remain generally the same as previously quoted.
The express in anticipation of the Overland Mail,
brings mercantile accounts from the presidencies of a
favourable character. At Bombay there was rather
more demand for money. Trade was sound, and after
the Dewallee holidays, considerable activity was ex-
pected. At Calcutta there had been much briskness,
and both Manchester and Scotch goods sold freely. In
exports the transactions were comparatively large.
The letters from the United States, by the steamer
Africa, notice a moderate demand for hills of exchange
on London, but with receding rates. On London the
quotation was 9i to 10 per cent. premium. There were
still active exertions making to buoy up the Cotton
Market; and at New Orleans, on the 18th ult., the sales
were 10,000 bales, being the largest of the season. Oae
writer at New York states :

" We learn that telegraphic orders to purchase cotton
freely have, since the arrival of the Cambria, been sent
to all the southern ports for English account. These
purchases will not, of course, be allowed to transpire
until after the departure of the Africa, for the object
with all parties in this market, at this time, is to de-
press prices nominally here, to act on the southern
merkets while they are sweeping them. We are
informed that several extensive planters in Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas, have been offered thirteen to
thirteen and a half cents for their Cotton on the planta-
tions, taking every quality; and it is stated that one
Texas planter sold his crop of about two hundred bales,
which will not average over good middling.' altogether,
at 131 c. up the Brazos, which would cast 15c. laid
down in Now York, or 153 c. laid down in Liverpool."
The Canada advices are very encouraging still.
Wheat in the western province (Toronto) was rather
dearer. The weather was mild and pleasant; the roads
were very good. The trade in Wheat had been very
bride. Arrangements were making at Montreal for a
trip to England and back during the Exhibition at 75
dollars. The great increase in the revenue from canal
tolls points to the time when the public works will pay
more than the interest on their cost. In a communica-
tion before us it is stated:—

" We believe that the run of our trade towards the
United States will not continue very long; there is no
doubt that it will always continue large, but the resort of
the Upper Canada merchants to New York for groceries
and fancy dry goods has not been so great this season as
during the past two years, the Montreal merchants and
their own importers being recovered from the
effects of the crash in 1847, and being better
able to supply them. The Upper Canadians must
undoubtedly go where they can buy cheapest,
but we believe that ere long the supplies for the western
country will come most cheaply through the St. Law-
rence, and its produce also be most economically con-
veyed through it to the place of consumption. The
establishment of a line of steamers from the
St. Lawrence to Great Britain would tend
greatly to draw the trade in fancy goods
from the United States. There is an increased
number of small articles which could be got far
more cheaply in England, which are nevertheless pur-
chased in the United States on account of the conveni-
ence of purchasing small quantities at a short distance,
enabling the small dealer to select his own goods, and
save the time which at present elapses before orders can
be filled from England."
By a merchant ship, advices of October 28 have been
received from Pernambuco, and of the 4th of that month
from Rio. The rats of exchange on England was 28*d.
Nothing more was said about the apprehended war with
Buenos Ayres.
The reports from the Continental Stock Markets
have at length become of an altered and very favour.
able character, and at Berlin a rally of 4 to 5 per cent.
has occurred in the quotations of Public Secu-
rities. At Vienna there wee more confidence,
and at Frankfort, on the `Bth ultimo, Aus-
trian Metallics realized 65k. The exchange on
Vienna was 83. At Amsterdam, on Saturday, better
prices were obtained, owing to the advance at the
German Bourses, and a large business was done in
Spanish, Portuguese, and Austrian Bonds. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were 54*.
In the English Stock Market there has been
a very decided improvement, and although the
amount of business done is not large, the rally
in prices is k to ft per cent. This is the result
of the more pacific news from the continent,
and of the greater confidence felt that the mediation
of England will bring about concessions that will ward
off the imminent danger at present existing. Consols
have been 97* k for Transfer, end 97* ft for January.
Bank Stock has been firm at 212, and India Stock at
271. The New Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents. have
been done at 98 to 98k. Exchequer-bills are 655. to
68s. premium, being steady.
The Foreign Investments have all been in improved re-
quest. and have participated in the rise in Consols.
Mexican Bonds have touched 32 and 32*; Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 78k, and since 79f.
The Deferred Bonds are 35 to In these latter a good
deal has been done. Spanish Ftve per Cents. have been
marked 18k 4-, and the Three per Cents. 39*. Portu-
guese Four per Cents. have been 331, Dutch Four per
Cents. are 85*.

Railway Shares are again on the advance. North
Western, Midland, Great Western, and the principal
lines, are higher than they have been for some time
past, and the smaller lines have nearly all risen, more
or less. In Foreign Railways there has been scarcely a
bargain.
