MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was little or no animation in the Cotton Market at
Liverpool on Saturday, and the sales did not exceed 3,500 bales,
but at former rates.—The Share Market did not display much
activity. Eastern Counties were 103 ; Grand Junction, 235 ;
Paris and Orleans, 33i ; Do. and Lyons, 3/. 6s. 6d. ; South
astern, 36i ; Do. New, 36k.
There are some later accounts in town this morning from
1110 Janeiro by the Crane, and we are sorry to find
that the hopes that were previously entertained that
treaty with this country was not likely to be
renewed upon those liberal terms which are so mnch desired,
end by which the commercial interests of both countries would
ue immensely advanced, are not confitint d. As the treaty
Vith the Brazilian Government will expire in the course of the
present year, it is likely that a provisional arrangement will be
come to for extending it a twelvemonth more to arrange the
ists in difficult—and we hope still anxious--consideration.
Stnee the, blockade of Monte Video trade had somewhat rallied
at Rio, and at Rio Grande.
The ship letters received to-day do not contain news of mo-
ment beyond that already obtained.
Ssrne interest is exhibited in the Money Market to learn
'whether the Comtnissioners for the Reduction of the National
brerbt have directed their brokers to buy Three per Cents. or
te::iaondd-asHalf per Cents. to-morrow, when the invest-
leents in aid of the Sinking Fund are to be resumed, after
of just over six years. It is true that
tile amount to be purchased on each transfer day in the pre-
rit quarter wilt not exceed about 500 L-27,0001. odd only
tCing been directed to be laid out is stock, and 200,000/. in
redemption of Exchequer Bills. If the Commissioners
start with buying„„, the Three per Cent. Consols, or the Three_
Reduced, it is thought that the reduction. of the
a ancl„ Half per Cents. has been decided upon. By
'Buooehns-v,murses as has been before stated, a saving of at least
the'-‘4. a year would be made, and this, even in addition.to

burgh Pars ago Messrs. Pies and Slaneward, of

tr._.st 10Ibs. of pure sugar perfectly crystallised may be ex-
iti:lneted from 1001bs• weight of beet-root. The secret was
We,(liately purchased by M. Brokhnoff, of Wisburg, for
