COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.
! The progress of Trade and Commerce during the
past week has been greatly retarded BY the extreme
which is felt respecting the state OF affairs
in ireland. The markets for Colonial Produce have
therefore been less active, with the exception OF Su
gar, which has been in fair demand. The sales OF
Cotton are to a moderate extent. The Corn trade
has been active aud prices rather higher; manuiac-
turcd goods less enquired for for home use.
! The Money M1rket.-Consols have been as high
S65 but the correct accounts from ireland sl re-
presenting affairs in such an unfavorabe light sellers
encouraged TO operate more boldly, aud prices
were reduced to s5S. They have partly recovered
from that extreme point but are yet quoted at S5i to
49,, both for money and time.
| Cotton Mi,rket.-Snce the sailing of the America
the sales of Cotton amount 10 81 oO bales, OF which
spectators took 2,10O American, and exporters 4o3O
American, $40 Pernam. and 81 Sural, leaving
| 25,350 bales for the consumers use. The general
tone of the market has been quiet and without AMI
nation. Prices of nearly all descriptions remain the
same as on this day week. If any change, it is in
! favor of the buyer The market closed yesterday
with little cheeriulness, and sales to the extent
| of nearly 5000 bales were effected at full prices
| The estimated stock of Cotton at Liverpool now
amounts 5S5 $50 bales, against l2O at the same
period in 1871. The imports this year, as compared
with those OF last season to similar date, snow an
! increase of 39o,O63.
Grain Market.-Therc has been much uncasiness
felt at the moist character Of the weather during the
past fortnight, lest the growing crops should suffer
thereby and reard the progress OF the harvest This,
coued with the reports of the reappearance OF the
Potato disease, has caused some speculation In the
grain trade, consequently prices have advanced Tor
most articles offered for sale. At Mark-Ianc, on
Monday last, Wheat rose IS. per quarter-the best
English white selling at SOS to SIS for new, and 52s
TO SIS for old; red, AIS to 52s. There was an in
