The Liverpool Share Market to-day was rather languid
at its opening, but afterwards a rally took place, when

Yorkshire, London and North Western, Midlands, and
South Eastern and Dover. We report sales as follows :

There is still the same stringency in the Money Market
which we have noticed almost daily during the past week.
Alluding to this topic, Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, in
their excellent monthly circular, issued this afternoon,
say :—" No scarcity has been felt in the supply of Money
for commercial purposes, but high rates have been charged
throughout the month—generally per cent above the
Bank rate—under the apprehension that the Bank would
equalise the minimura at 7 per cent on all Bills. The
report is, that the position of the Bank of France is
somewhat improved, which is confirmed by the firmer
tone of the Paris Bourse—the withdrawal of Gold. from
the Bank of England, too, has almost subsided—but-there
is still an uneasy feeling in political affairs, and great
uncertainty as to when Money matters will right them-
selves. The movement has caused a complete suspension
of all newly projected schemes, even before their formation
was completed, and as such the moment the continental
crisis is at an end, and Gold no longer wanted, Money will

petre, indigo, and cotton—and this in the face of increased'
stringency in the money market. What the advance in
prices, and what the excitement from speculation would
have been, had the rates of discount remained at 4 per
cent. instead of 7, it is difficult to say; certainly at no
former period have the high rates of money been so little
felt, or had so little influence as at present, but that is no
justification of such rates as are now being imposed, or
any sound plea in favour of a monetary system, that
entails such violent changes, uncertainty, and discourage-
ment to commerce. The position of our markets is still
healthy, and the reports by late mails from the different
countries of supply, particularly China, Calcutta, and
the United States, speaking strongly of deficiency in
exports, give confidence to holders on this side, and even
higher prices may be anticipated in some two or three
leading products should these reports be confirmed ; but
these rates are not such as prudent importers would
follow."

The London Consol Market to-day was tolerably steady,
and prices had rather an upward tendency. Sales were
made at 923 ff, and 92i for money, and 921 93, and 931 for
transfer. There was little or no change in the rates of
Exchequer Bills. The New Three Per Cents. realised
931. The last rates are as follows :—Consols, 921 921 for
money, an i 93 to 933 for account. The New Threes, 911
to 92/. Bank Stock has risen to 214 216. Exchequer
Bills, ls. dis, to 2s. prem.

London Stock Exchange for railway property, and the
following dealings were effected :—Caledonian, 56/, 6, a

The Grain Markets throughout the country have been
rather tame during the week, and to-day, at our Corn
Exchange, there was very little business transacted,
although, in most instances, buyers had rather the advantage
in price. Reports of the markets held to-day in London,
Dublin, Cork, &c , from which it will bo peiceived that the
prevailing feeling in all these places was one of langour.
By the steam-ship Persia we have advices from New
York to the 29th ult. The Money Market was rather
tringent, but the rates of discount were unchanged. The
Persia brings 1,490,000 d. liars in specie, and the Ericsson
which sailed from New Yerk for this port, had about
200,000 dollars on board. We regret to observe that several
failures had taken place, they include F. Perry and Co.,
produce :dealers, whose liabilities were stated to be
400,000 dollars ; also, .1. Beck and Co., dry goods dealers in
Broadway, and long known in the retail trade as rivals of
Stewart. Their liabilities, chiefly distributed among the
heavy importers or foreign houses, are estimated at
800,000 dollars, and we understand they will be able to
pay 80 cents. in the dollar. In addition to the foregoing
items it was said that a house in the provision trade failed for
a rather heavy sum, The New York Cotton Market was
rather tame, and prices are reported to have receded lc per
lb. With regard to the new crop, there is not any ad-
ditional intelligence ; at the same time hopes were enter-
tained that the actual yield would not turn out as bad as
was represented.
