MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO- THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bales, without any change in prices, including 600 Egyptian
at 6%d. to 6:34d. ; 140 Sea Island at 11%d. to lie 3d. ; tnd
the rest American at 3%(1. to sd. per pound. There was
not much doing in Shares. The market was quiet, but
steady.
A great deal of satisfaction has been expressed in commer-
cial circles to-day at the promulgation of an order in council,
that sugars the produce of Siam are to be admitted here at
the reduced duty of 28s. and 235. 4d. respectively., as not
being the produce of slave labour. As a matter of course, re-
fined qualities are excluded from this benefit. It
is a curious fact that the produce of China, of
Java, and Manilla is admitted upon the low
terms, when they take so little of our manufac-
tures, while Brazil is a most excellent customer. It is, how-
ever, extremely probable that ere long we shall have sugars
exported from Rio de Janeiro, where they have not been
produced by slave labour. Some little interest is attached to
the result of the sale of 124 bags of Siam sugar, which is an -
flounced for this day. It is expected that advanced prices
will be realised.
There are no late arrivals in the City announced to-day
from the British colonies.
A merchant in the City, Mr. J. H. Elliot. has furnished
us, in common with other of our Contemporaries, with a pub-
lication of his entitled, " Credit, the Life of Commerce,"
being a defence of the British merchant against the unjust and
demoralising tendency of the recent alteration, and an out-
line of the laws of debtor and creditor, and remedial mea-
sures. We may take an early opportunity of quoting from
this interesting pamphlet.
There has been an improvement in the English Funds to-
day. Consols have . advanced to 9914 N. and for money
to 9914. The premium on Exchequer-bills is firm at 61s.
South Sea Stock is at 112.
Mexican Stock has rallied to-day, some bargains having
been made at 35% and at 35%. The Spanish Three per
Cents. have been quoted at 38% ; and the Dutch Four per
Cents. at lOWA.
The Railway Share Market is extremely firm, as the an•
nexed quotations will show :

SHOCKING CRUELTY.—A Spanish journal states
that a short time back, as a dealer in leeches was travelling
on a by-road in Estremadura, he was stopped by a band of
thieves, who demanded his money. He assured them that
he had none about him, having expended all that he had
brought with him. Having ascertained that he had told the
truth, they in revenge for their disappointment thrust his head
into the sack _in which h arried his leeches, and bound it

tightly round his neck Sunie country people passing by not
long afterwards found him dead, he having been bled to death
by his own stock.— Cr a.
