LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING

There has been less excitement in the Liverpool
Cotton market to-day, but prices have been steady,
and a large business has been done, the sales
amounting to 10,000 bales, inclusive of 3,000 taken
for speculation and export.
The Share Market opened with a quiet feeling,
gradually improved about 2 to 1-4, per cent. on
stocks, leaving off a shade under the

The Liverpool Wool sales, which commenced on
the 15th, were brought to a close to-day. The
result is thus recorded in the circular of Messrs.
A. Gartside and Co., issued this evenim

Home and foreign buyers attended numerously, probably
with the hope of obtaining a concession in price, in consequence
of the large quantity offered, particularly in the case of East
India, of which there have been 9,695 bales. The result,
however, bas been favourable so sellers, and during the first
two bye there was fair competition, and prices for Wool worth

materially enhanced in value by the demand for war clothing,
they wonid necessarily be depreciated by the prospect of peace ;
on the other hand, there was a strong feeling that the realisation
of this contingency would benefit t'-_e market by improving the
ordinary home consumption ; this latter view, being backed
by the fact of stocks being light throughout Europe, pre-
dominated, and the sales have since proceeded with ad-
ditional spirit, at prices which, on the average, are quite equal
to our September rates. ome-grown and imported long
stapled descriptions, which have, in some degree, been depressed
by the consequences of the war, are firmer, and should the
expected negociations lead to peace they will probably be
benefitted. The quantities offered and prices realised are
detailed below, viz.:-9,695 bales East India: Part of these
eonsisted of clean and well selected parcels, but there was a
greater proportion than usual of half-washed and inferior lots.
The whole found purchasers, and the varied purposes to
which this wool is applicable gives it a currency superior to
most other descriptions. Fine white realised to 131 d,
coarse to middling do. 7d to l Otd, fine yellow 84 to 10d,
common to middling do. 6d to 7d, unwashed and inferior do.
4d to 51d, fawn 8d to 9d, black and grey 6d to 7d, blaek
hair ld to 1/d, native black 6d to nd, do. grey 4d.
579 bales Egyptian • Fair parcels were active at
11t1 for first white; 9d to 91-d 2nd do ; 7id
to 84-d coloured locks ; 9d to 9fd black fleece ; those lots much
mixed with Syrian were dull at id to ld less. 49 bags
Mogadore, 9d to I Old. 105 bales River Plate, chiefly washed
common and inferior Mestizo at sid to 10-I,d, and a few
second rate Cordova at 8d to 81,d, but sales of the latter have
since been made at Bid to 9d. 996 bales Russian, chiefly
Donskoi and Calmuc ; a few of the former sold at 81d, but
the bulk was withdrawn. 2005 bales Mediterranean, &c., of
which very little was sold ; but by private contract some
transactions have taken place, and this port is now more bare
of stock than we have seen it for many years past.
The circular of Mr. William Avens, of London,
gives the following review of the London Stock.
and Share Market for the past week :
A great change has come over the market since my
last. When I had last the pleasure of addressing my
friends and clients, business was certainly improving, but
rations were restricted by the state of political uncer-
- as to the prospects of peace, and the unsatisfactory
of the money market. Now, however, there are
'ations of peace, or at least of the opening of
peace, while the money market, though
is decidedly easier. These influences
have produced a beneLial effect, for business has revived,
and the prices of all descriptions of public securities have
considerably advanced. The first intimation of the nro-

far—froTn sa!isfacto.ry,

bability of peace was made o n Saturday. It was indefinite,
but being authenticated to some extent, it improved the
tone of the market without causing an advance in quota-
tions. On Monday and Tuesday the substance
of the Russian counter-propositions- became known,
and being thought to be such as would satisfy
the interests of Great Britain in undertaking the war,
a decided advance : set in ; consols which closed on
Saturday at 851 to 861, having improved on Tuesday to 86;7-;
to 87. This was merely upon the strength of the impression
that if Russia did not concede all the conditions demanded
by the Allies, she was at least disposed to offer some terms
which could not be regarded as unacceptable. On Wednes-
day, however, the foreign journals reported that she had
proposed to go further—that is to accept the conditions
