The Cotton Market at Havre opened this month
rather flatly, with a heaviness in the closing quota-
tions of May. The sales, on the 3rd inst., comprised

Accounts from Riga report an active trade in all
articles of export at the close of May. Linseed,
of superior quality, was much sought after, and the
prices realised were above previous rates for sorts
weighing 112 lbs. Hempseed was also in demand,
and qualities weighing 90 to 91 lbs. realised 3
roubles 90 kopecks, of which 8,000 tons were dis-
posed of ; and a portion which had been in store

for some time realised 3 80 silver roubles, with a

premium for good weight. Hempseed oil for con•
sumption sold at 38 to 39 roubles per berkowitz.
Ta!low was also in demand, and 40 roubles per
berkowitz was asked, but buyers were not inclined
to give more than 33 to 39. Exchange on London
38, and on Paris 400.

Notwithstanding the positive statement that the
British Minister has been actually dismissed from
Washington, the Funds to-day show increased
firmness. A recovery of I per cent was even at one
period attained. Towards three o'clock, news of a
heavy fall at Paris induced an unfavourable
re-action here, and the Funds finally closed
the same as yesterday : namely, at 94/
to 95. The market may be described as
intrinsically strong, but restrained from any ad-
vance by the uncertainty of the American question.
There seems no valid reason why the speculative
panic in Paris should inflict any material prejudice
upon this market, in which speculation is as
yet restricted within very reasonable bounds.
Money continues in fair demand, in mer-
cantile channels, but without pressure. In
the Stock Exchange to-day accommodation
was readily obtainable at 44 per cent, on

security of government stock. The Bank of
England charge for making advances on govern-
ment stock, daring the shutting of the transfer
books, is maintained at 5 per cent. The Paris
Bourse to-day- was visited by further severe
depression. The price for money exhibits a
decline of about 4 per cent, but in the quota
tion for the account the reduction is no less
than 1g per cent. Nearly all descriptions
of French Railway Securities have also fallen
heavily. The settlement in the Rentes and Rail-
way Securities was excessively painful; enormous
rates were charged for carrying over the accounts
of the mass of speculative buyers. The prospectus
of the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, limited,
is issued, with a capital of 1,000,0001 sterling. The
iay Share Market continues well supported,
responds reluctantly to the fluctuations of the
Is. The following were the closing quotations;
