The Cotton Market has been very tame to-day,

2.509 bales, of which speculators and exporters

Money continues in active demand, owing to
the large amount of commercial paper due to-day,
the " 4th" of the month. After these payments
are effected, which it is supposed will not occasion
any embarrassment, there is every probability of
the discount market becoming easier, as the
specie arrived and expected is likely to exercise a
beneficial influence. The supply of capital during
the last few days have been very limited, and
enhanced rates have been charged for temporary
accommodation.
An active busines has been transacted in the
Consol Market. Some influential operators have
sold stock which they had purchased yesterday or
previously, but their dealings have not exercised a
very marked effect, because buyers have also
appeared. At one period Consols were 928 or a
fraction under, but they are now about 92-1- 93; and
for December, 931 931 The highest point attained
for the former has been 93, buyers. On the whole,
the market in the face of such large sales in
realisation of profits has been tolerably well main-
tained. The New Three's have been offipially
marked 921 ; and the Reduced, 92 to 921.
Bank Stock is 2121 214. Exchequer Bills are par
to 3s pr.
The London Railway Share Market has been
active, but prices have exhibited a decline of about
1 to I per cent on yesterday's closing rates. Briste
and Exeter are 931 Caledonian, 563 561. Edin-
burgh, Perth, and Dundee, 35. Great Northern
93i. Great Western, 65. Lancashire and York.
