MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.
CITY, QUARTER To THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales,
at steady prices ; 1,500 bales were on speculation.—There
was not a large business done in Shares, but a better feeling
prevailed in the market.
It is satisfactory to find that the great project of an exten-
sive cultivation of the tea plant in the more northern part
of the East Indies is likely to be most successfully carried out.
In the Report of the Directors of the Assam Company, made
yesterday at a special meeting of the :Proprietors, it was an-
nounced that the crop of this year will be very nearly
188,0001bs. But for the drought that has prevailed in Assam
the yield would have been much more consider-
able, and fully up to the estimate made two or
three years since. It is of importance, too, as establishing
the fact that good teas can be produced in Assam, to state
that some hundreds of chests have been taken freely by the
trade at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per lb. ex- duty. The Directors
have declared a dividend of 10s.. per share, after reserving
sufficient assets to pay all the cost of production of 1846,
home expences, and leaving a considerable surplus. The
time may not be far distant when the people of the United
Kingdom may become independent of China, that is for
supplies of this article of consumption. The report to the
special meeting held yesterday will be found in another part
of The Sun.
The New Tariff' is producing some rare imports. For in-
stance, there were put up at public sale thirty baskets of
China Vegetable, or Tree Tallow, and thirty bales of China
Hemp, just received from Shanghae.
The English Securities do not open quite so firm as yes-
terday morning, Consols being 95% to 961/s for present
transfer and the Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills
has been rather fluctuating—viz., from 28s. to 225. Bank
Stock has been at 200 to 201%. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 96% to 974. Long An-
nuities are 10 7-16 to 10 9-16.
The Foreign Market has also slightly receded. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been at 28%, and the Three per Cents.
at 37% 3/4. Portuguese Converted are 55% to 561/2. Mexi-
can Stock has ranged from 301/. Belgian Four and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 95 to 95%; and Dutch Two-and• a-

The Share Market is without any material alteration.
