MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

- - - - -
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day : sales nearly 5,000 bales. Prices were steadily sup-
ported, but there was no demand. Cotton was not so freely
offered. There was rather less done in shares, but prices
generally were firm.
It is scarcely necessary further to refer to the conflict of
statements pro and con. made by the Times and the Standard
on the subject of the corn-laws. All now that is demanded
by the merchant, manufacturer, and the tradesman, is that
en early statement of the intentions of the Ministers should
be made known at the earliest practicable period. Until
then trade and commerce must languish.
A point connected with railway projects, where new lines
have been started, but where the letters of allotment were
not issued, before the first Bank notice was circulated, de-
mands attention. Upon the faith of the respectabi-
lity of a host of applicants for allotments the managing
committees have incurred expenses for advertisements
surveys, officers, clerks, Sec. The expenses must be paid;
and under the new law all the promoters are liable, as
well as those who have undertaken to accept the whole of
the shares asked fer, or any lesser number the various com-
mittees have alloted. Promptly aught the applicants for
shares to perform their duty, so as to prevent law-suits.
Escape from liabitity there is none.
There are not any late colonial or other arrivals in the
City to-day.

A report is current that an individual connected with a
savings' bank in the northern part of the metropolis, has
committed suicide under peculiar circumstances. At the
Coroner's inquest appointed to be held, we are told, this
evening, the facts will no doubt be elicited.
In the Consol Market this morning the fluctuation has
been very slight. For the Account the value has remained
unvaried at 9474, and for Money at from 94% to 94%. The
premium upon Exchequer-bills remains at 21s to 235. Bank
Stock is pretty firm at 200 to 201; the Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. at 95% %; but East India Stock has fallen from
262 to 2601 A.
There have been several bargains in the South-American
Stocks to day. The Equador Bonds have been taken at
34i, the Grenada Bonds at 20k, the Mexican for Account
at 30, and the Peruvian at 35. Russian Bonds have been
flat at 1111 to 112, Spanish at: 274, and the Three
per Cents. to 37i. The Dutch Four per Cents. have rallied
from 921 to 93i.
The Railway Shares are in but moderate request this morn-
ing, still the market looks healthy. The corrected list is
annexed.
