MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO 711 BEE.
The Liverpool Cotton Market was yesterday in a
very active state, an extensive business having been
transacted. The total sales were 10,000 bales; 2,000
bales American, and 1,000 Surat, being taken on
speculation. Mid. American qualities broughtid., and
Surat, 3d. to 4d. per lb. advance on last Friday's rates.
—ln the Railway Shares there was some animation
and more firmness. Eastern Counties Debentures
were 103 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow Quarter, 53;
Great Western Fifths, 8 ; Birmingham, 186; Brighton,
353 ; Midland Counties Quarter, 161 ; Paris and
Rouen, 234 ; and South Eastern, 19.
In the City there is already more business doing,
and more sales of Cotton have been made at 3d. to
4d. per lb. advance. Goods are also being purchased
for the China market, and we only trust there will
not be a foolish glutting of it with articles that can-
not meet a sale, for although the Celestial Empire un-
doubtedly opens a wide field to our enterprise, it should be
also borne in mind that the Chinese will have to ac-
quire habits and notions quite different to those which
they now entertain, before our fabrics find general
favour with them. It must be a growing trade, and
it is the more: necessary perhaps to inculcate- due
caution, as our depressed manufacturers will be eager
to seize the first opening that promises them even tem-
porary relief.
The Funds at Amsterdam drooped on Monday, and
especially Spanish, in which considerable sales were
made at a decline, on account of the Barcelona news.
They left off at 184 to 18, the Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. at' 521, and Mexican at 333.
This is settling day in the English Stock Market,
and the differences are in favour of the speculators for
a rise. The improvement in Consols while the account
has been in progress having been steady and gradual,
has allowed the opportunity, however, to all but
those termed " obstinate bears," to turn their accounts,
and hence the losses are limited. The China news
has given a decided finishing stroke to the buoyancy
of the market, which otherwise might have been
worked down by the operators for a fall.
The extreme quotations of Consols during the ac-
count just closed have been 934 and 944. The broker
of the Commissioners for the Savings' Banks changed
his account to Consols this morning, of which he
took rather over 5,0001. at 943. For present
transfer the prices were 944 to 944, and for
the 17th of January, or at the opening as it
is called, 954; Exchequer Bills were 565. to 58s.
premium ; and India Bonds 525. premium ; Bank
Stock advanced to 171 and 172 ; and India Stock
was firm at 265 ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
brought 1013 to 1014; and Reduced, 1004 to 1003.
The Three per Cents. were 94 to 944; and Long
Annuities 12 9-16ths to 124.
The value of Mexican Stock is much depressed by
the circumstance above alluded tot, and bargains have
been effected as low as 31 and 314 for the Actives,
and 84 to 84 for' the Deferred. Spanish Active
Bonds were also lower on the confirmation of the
Barcelona news, being at 173 and 174. The Three
per Cents. slipped down to 22 and 213. Neapolitan
stock was 103 ; and Dutch Five per Cents. 101 to 1013.
For the Railways prices are much the same.
Brighton, 144 to 15 ; Blackwall, 104 ; and South
Eastern Scrip, 14 dis. ; Great Western, 194 to 20
premium.
The Citizens have crowded round the Mansion
House this morning to peruse the early announce-
ment of our victories in the East, addressed by Go-
vernment to the Lord Mayor.

nour this place with a visit after Christmas.—Brigh-
ton Gazette.
THE CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— 011 Sa-
turday an accident happened at this exhibition, which,
fortunately, did not terminate fatally as might have
been expected. A gentleman entered the car, in the
indulgence of his curiosity to experience the peculiar
motion, when, from some unexplained cause, the car,
at the moment when it had reached . the zenith of the
vertical circle, was, with its occupant, pitched out of
the rails on the ground. Had the car, which weighs
2001 b., fallen on the individual, he must inevitably
have been killed, but, he fortunately escaped with a
few bruises. 'The fact of such an accident having oc-
curred may operate as a Caution to others,
