MONE YAM) COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was steady.
Sales, 4,000 bales, of which speculators took 500 at firm.
rates. There was some appearance of improvement in Shares,
but business closed languidly. Eastern Counties, 11A ; Grand
Junction, 217 ; Birmingham, 219 ; Ditto, Thirds, 354 ; Mid-
land Counties, 934; North Midland, 93k; Ditto, Half, 46k;

The important public sales of wool having terminated, it is
highly satisfactory to remark that they have' gone off ex-
tremely well, and that the reduction of the duty upon foreign
sorts has not in any way affected the value of the colonial
staple, all descriptions experiencing a brisk demand. The
quality of the Australian and Cape fleeces is considered to
have exhibited an improvement as compared with last season,
when they were affected by the drought and scarcity of
labour.
By private ship, accounts have been received to the 13th
April, from Buenos Ayres. They convey, however, no defi-
nitenews respecting the progress of the war, being, neverthe-
less, made to read in favour of the Argentines. The British
Minister, Mr. Turner, had arrived out at Monte Video, and it
was hoped would use his good offices to effect some arrange-
ment whereby further bloodshed may be spared.
The sugar question is the subject of almost universal con-
versation in the City, and the greatest interest is felt to hear
what Sir Robert Peel will say in the House this evening.
The fact that the loss of the revenue on the West India
staple would necessitate a remodelling of the Ministerial
finance plans is, of itself, sufficient to excite interest here.
The English Funds have this morning felt the influence of
the majority obtained against the Government, and of its
reported resignation having been tendered to the Queen,
although this is not fully credited. At present the
market is a shade better than it opened. Consols- have
been at 97; to 98, and now 98 to for the opening, ex

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The finest samples of English Wheat found buyers, at
prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight ;
but, in the middling and inferior qualities, only a limited bu-
siness was doing, and previous rates were with difficulty sup-
ported. The supply of fine qualities of Foreign Wheat offering
was a full average one ; and much caution was manifest on
the part of the dealers in effecting purchases at the asking
rates. The best Dantzic must be considered quite as dear ;
but where sales were pressed of the inferiordescriptions rather
lower rates were taken. In corn under lock, if we except
very fine Barley, currencies were almost nominal. Fine
Chevalier parcels of Barley were held at a trifling improve-
ment in value ; while, in other kinds, a steady business was
doing, at full rates. The Malt trade was rather active, and
last week's extreme figures were realised. All descriptions
of Oats at full rates. Beans a trifle dearer. Peas, both Eng-
lish and Foreign, at late rates. Flour without alteration.
Clover, Canary, and Linseed, at very full prices;

SMITHFIELD.
Notwithstanding the high temperature, the attendance of
both town and country buyers was numerous. For the
primest Scots, Home-breds, &c., there was. an improved de-
mand, and, in some few instances, 3s 10d per 81bs was ob-
tained for those breeeds. In other kinds of beef very little
business was doing, at unaltered currencies. The number of
Sheep was again large, yet the trade was not so heavy as
noticed in our last report, and full prices were obtained by
the salesmen. Lambs were firm, at an advance of 4d per
81bs. The highest quotation for Calves did not exceed 4s
per 81bs. In Pork we can notice no alteration in figures.

With meat slaughtered in the metropolis we have been ex
tensively supplied; while the general demand, if we except
that for the primest Mutton, has rated unusually heavy, anc
prices have had a downward tendency.

BOROUGH AND SPITALTIELDS.
Fine qualities of old Potatoes are in request at very full
prices, bat other descriptions are a mere drug. Whites, from
Holland, have sold at from 50e to 55s per ton. New Po-
tatoes are selling at from 103 to 168 per cwt.
BOROUGH UOP
Although the supply of Hops offering here is very small,
yet the late advance in the quotations is steadily supported.
No betting has taken place on the duty.
TALLOW.
This market is improving. The price for all descriptions of
Tallow is dearer, and, in consequence of the continuance of
dry weather, importers are asking higher prices for autumn
delivery. Town Tallow is virtually dearer, although the
quotation is the same as last week. By advices from St.
Petersburgh there is nothing to justify the expectation of
lower prices through the season. The demand is very good
for the time of year.

WOOL he
.
The public sales of Wool heIdILRICET
since our last have been
tolerably well attended by buyers, who have purchased nearly
the whole of the colonial parcels brought forward, at prices
about equal to those obtained in the previous auction. For
the few packages of foreign brought forward, the biddings
have been spiritless, and the rates have not been supported.
The stocks of English Wools, being large, the demand is
heavy, and the quotations have a downward tendency.
