In the Liverpool Share Market today braiinesS
was-very quiet, and prices-were not so rood, -there
being decline of per cent. on the leading lines,
Sheffields were, however, an exception. Caledonians
closed. at 821 to 83; East Lancashire '941 'to "951;
Lancashire and Yorkshire 951 to 95-A ; London and
Northwestern 94 to 941 ; Sheffields 35:4 to 36 exidiv. ;
Midland 1041 to 1041-, and Dovers 22 5-16 to 22:!.
The market for the Millie Funds and Securities
retains an upward tendency, and a fresh improve-
ment of per cent. has "'been established to=day.
The 7prpparations 'for the monthly settlement' in
Conscils, fixed for to-morrow, have principally en-
gaged attention. Consols -closed at 954 to WI for
money, and 951 to 952- "for the account. The-new
Threes are quoted at 954' to 95'4.
The London Share "Market was very inactive
to-day, and at one time- prices declined a shade from
the opening rate's. Afterwards, however, a better
feeling set in, and prices advanced, some of the lead-
ing lines closing 1 per cent-better than on Thursday.
East Lancashire are quoted at 941 to 95!-; - Great
Western 591 to 591; Laneaghire and Yorkshire .931
to 9417; and Midland 1041.t0 1041.
In - the General Produce Markets we do not find
any change worthy of •nofice to report. A fair
demand prevails for Sugar, Coffee, and other leading
articles of consumption. The stock of Sugar in
Liverpool at present is 21,655 tons, of which 5,521
tons are 8.P., and 16,164 tons foreign, against a
total of 25,491 tons last year, of which 9,505 tons
were 8.P., and. 15,986 tons foreign. The stock this
year is exclusive of 6,000 tons duty paid, in anticipa-
tion of increased duties.

At the London Corn market, to-day, there was a
very limited demand for all descriptions of Bread-
stuffs. Wheat declined 2s. per quarter, and Flour
and Barlerwere also the turn-lower.

The Messrs. Highway, of Walsall, have filed a pe-
tition for private arrangement, in the Bankruptcy
-Court, at Birmingham, and their first meeting is ap-
pointed by the Court to take place on the 19th pros.
A "petition in Bankruptcy has been lodged against
Thomas Davies and Son, of the Neachills Collieries,
at the Birmingham Court, but we believe no adjudi-
cation has yet taken place under this petition.
From the circular of Mr. S. Griffiths, of Wolver-
hampton, we learn that in the South Staffordshire dis-
trict there are 128 furnaces in blast, which produce
14,190 tons of Pig Iron per week ; Shropshire 26
'furnaces in blast, which produce 2,860 tons per week.
So that the present.?ggregate production of the South

Staffordshire and Sh—ropsliire districts is 17,050 tons

per week,—comparatively all this being converted
in best Iron, very few furnaces indeed 'being now
employed in making Cinder Pigs. Out .of blast in
the Smith StaffOrdshire district, 55 furnaces, which
produce 6,050 tons per week. Out of blast in Shrop-
shire, nine furnaces, which would produce, if at work,
990 tons-• per week ' In' the Forest of Dean
there are four furnaces in blast, producing 440 tons
per week, and four more out of blast, which would
produce:44o tons per week f therefore, in the South
Staffordshire district alone; we are producing 6,050
tons per week less than we should if the fifty-five
furnaces. now out 'of blast were at work ;‘ and • the
thirteen furnaces standing in Shropshire and the
Forest of Dean reduce the weekly make of these
districts by 1,430 tons. In the South Staffordshire
district alone;--the 128 furnaces now at work
consume 16,170 tons of coal and slack . per
week, (this includes, fuel for calcining m ine
generation of steam, and hot air ovens,) me same
furnaces consume 16,170 tons of ironstone mine of
different kinds, per week ; (of course this calculation
presumes the ironstone used to be raw or uncalcined) ;
and the same furnaces consume 8,886 tons of lime-
stone per week. The present aggregate production
of the South Staffordshire district, Forest of Dean,
and Shropshire, gives a total of 18,150 tons of Pig
Iron per week, wllich would be increased to .24,970
tons if the furnaces in these districts were all in blast.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
LONDON, Monday Evening.
The Funds retain an upward tendency. A fresh
improvement of t- per cent. has been established to-
day. Preparations for the monthly settlement in
Consols, fixed for to-morrow, have principally en-
gaged attention. In the other markets prices are
generally better. English and Indian Railway
Shares, together with Turkish Stocks, are in chief
request. Consols are officially marked 95Z to 952- both
for Money and to-morrow's settlement. The present
quotations are 954 to ft„ for Money and the present
Account, and 952 " buyers," for the 7th of Sep-
tember. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 223 ; the
Three per Cents. Reduced, at 951 to -'4; the New
Three per Cents., at 951 to 96 ; the Indian Four per
Cent. Debentures, 1858, at 94* ; ditto 1859, at 93*;
Indian Bonds, at Bs. to Bs. dis. ; and Exchequer
Bills, at 265. to 30s. prem. In the Foreign Stock
market, the largest amount of business has been in
Turkish stocks, which are in great demand, and have
again risen 1 per cent. The Old Six per Cents. are
now quoted 841 to 851, and the New, 741 to 751.
Peruvian, Spanish, and Dutch stocks, amongst others,
are in demand and rising.

RATURDAV EVENING. —The advices from St. Petersburg
confirm the statement of the French journals, that the ar-
vingements for the issue of the imperial 3 per cent. loan of
1859 have been virtually completed. It is probable that the
loan will be advanced in London within a fortnight.
The funds were decidedly better. The fresh evidence
•afforded from day to day of a wish of the French Emperor
to reassure Europe is very favourably regarded, both here
and in Paris. A fresh rise of Ito per cent. has taken
place in Consols. There was a fair demand for money at
the -Bank and other quarters.
A belief that the corning Indian loan of £5,000;000 will

be successful if brought out in a five per cent. stook, trans-
ferable .at the Bank of England, contributed to .t4-day's

improvement

In the other departments of the Stock -Exchange an
upward 'tendency was also shown.
