MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very quiet
again, and the sales amounted to '2,500 bales only. Prices
were rather in favour of the buyers. A good business was
done in Sharos, and at higher rates.
A considerable degree of importance is attached to the
result of the large sales of cattle, &c., which take place at
this season of the year in various parts of the United Kingdom :
and we may safely affirm, on the authority of the most prac-
tical men, that for many years prices have not been so
high as those that have for the last few months been realised.
The conclusion is, that (not forgetting the fact that food has
been comparatively scarce) the consumption of the country
has been rapidly on the ircrease, and that employment to
the labouring classes is much more general than
for a very considerable time past. A fair test of the condi-
tion of the markets for cattle, sheep, &c., in Ireland, will
be afforded by the result of the great and important
fair at Ballinasloe, which commenced on Saturday
last. The flock masters of Ireland contemplate a
rich harvest this year, as the demand is great, and the
sheep, cattle, and pigs in very good condition. The Provi-
sion Markets here are in a very firm condition, and trade in
general may be said to be in a most healthy posi-
tion. The apprehensions of some parties that
railway extension must injure the regular trade of
the country, are most certainly without the shadow
of foundation, as wherever the labouring classes are more
extensively employed the greater will be the demand
for manufactured goods as well a.s the neces-
saries and the luxuries of life. As for the
deposits locked up temporarily on account of new railway
.projects they come out of the pockets of those who can well
afford to permit it to remain inactive for a few months.
There have not been any arrivals of the least importance
to-day.
The Consol Market has been very firm to-day at 98% for
the Account, and at 98% to % for Money. Not much busi-
ness has been transacted. Exchequer-bills are in demand at
52e. to 545. premium.
The dealings in the Foreign Stocks were but few to- day.
Mexican were sold at 32% and %; the Portuguese Four per
Cents. at 60% ; Spanish Five per Cents. at 27% 1 ; the
Three per Cents. at 3814 ; the Belgic Four per Cents. at an
improvement from 9914 to 99% ; and the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. 59% to CO)4.
The Railway Share market has been exceedingly firm
to-day, and generally prices have an upward tendency.
