MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING,

There has been a fair amount of business done
in the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day, the sales
amounting to 6,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for
speculation and export. Holders offer their stocks
freely, but are firm in their demands as to prices.

improvement of fully 1 per cent, In the absence
of business, however, the advance has not been
quite maintained. Great Western of Canada

SECOND EDITION.

The Liverpool Corn Market was less buoyant
to-day, and the price of wheat declined 2d. per
bushel from the advanced quotations of Friday.
Flour was, however, 6d. to lc per barrel higher
than on this day week, but only a limited business
was done.

A remarkable vote has just passed the Spanish
Cortes, relative to the issue of paper currency by
the banks. Recently the members of that body
declared, by a majority, that the privileges of the
Bank of San Fernando were not exclusive ; now
they have recorded, by 132 votes against 12, that
this bank shall have the exclusive privilege,
throughout Spain, of issuing notes payable to
bearer.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange yester-
day decided upon the admission of the Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Dollar Bonds, appro-
priated to the State of Equador in discharge of
the debt of Peru to that republic, to official
quotation. The New Consolidated Bonds and
Provisional Land Warrants, have also been ad-
mitted to the official list.
The English Stock Market to-day was much
stmdier in character, and, upon the ..‘.hole, firmer.
A lingering hope is still entertained in some
quarters that Russia will make further concessions,
in view of the extensive preparations of the Allies
for the next campaign. Stock Exchange business,
however, is greatly restricted, owing to the prevail-
ing uncertainty. The Funds advanced per cent.
this morning, but afterwards showed less buoyancy,
and at the close of the Stock Exchange were quoted
the same as yesterday, namely, at 86-7,- to 87. Dur-
ing the subsequent non-recognised hours, there
was a sudden rise of 1 per cent., but the
grounds for this advance did not generally
transpire. The rates of discount are maintained,
but the supply of money is good. At Paris to day,
the Three per Cent. Rentes experienced an unfa-
vourable reaction of IT to per cent., and money
sales preponderating. Despite the favourable
appearance of the Continental Exchange, the
demand for gold, for exportation, continues, The
supplies of specie from the United States are
interrupted, in consequence of a decline in the
exchange on London. The Asia has brought no
specie on freight. Australian advices, received
via Ceylon, mention the arrival at Melbourne of
the ship Ben Nevis, from Liverpool, with the
English mails of the 20th of June on board.
The following are the last quotations of the
Foreign Exchanges :—Amsterdam, short, 11 16.1
to 11 171. Do., three months, 11 191 to 12.

In the Railway Share Market a slight infringe-
ment was established in some cases, but generally
prices were stationary, In character, how-
ever, this department is firm. The closing
quotations were as follows :—Caledonian,
