MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was very little done in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day :—sales, 1,200 bales. The market was very dull, but
prices were not lower. There was very little done in Shares,
which were getting lower.
A case decided in the Court of Admiralty yesterday (that
of the Westminster) has been a subject of conversation in
commercial circles this morning. The Learned Judge (Dr.
Lushington) has, by the judgment, set aside what has been
oonsidered A settled_ point, that vessels going through the
Torres Straits should go in pairs, and aid one another
in case of need. True It is, in this case, the vessel that
aided the Westminster off the coral reef, upon which
she had struck, had on board a cargo worth, as stated, not
less than 10,000/. ; but it is apprehended that that useful prac-
tice of vessels in company assisting, where the danger ,is
common to both, acknowledged to be such, of reciprocating
good feeling in such dangerous positions as the Torres
Straits—the acknowledged rule and custom of vessels aiding
each other in the whale fishery, so long established, except
under the most extraordinary circumstances, without any
claim being made for salvage service, should not be brought
as against owners in the High Court of Admiralty.
The West India produce market has improved much in
the full expectation that the distillation from grain will be
prohibited by Order in Council. Sugars are still on the ad-
vance to-day.
The Funds are lower again to-day, and there has been a
good deal of excitement and fluctuation. Consols have been
down to 9534, and are now up again to 9614. For time
the range has been nearly the same. Exchequer-bills have
been marked 308. to 85s. premium, and India Bonds under
1,000/. 50s. premium. Bank Stock has been worth 203% to
2041 v. New Three- and-a-Quarter per Cents; have realised 96%
to 97,i.
There has been very little doing in the foreign house, and
the transactions are at about the previous rates. Spanish
Five per Cents. are 2714, and the Deferred 15%; Mexican
Bonds have been 311,E
Railway Shares are depressed.
