MEETING, OF THE JOCKEY CLUB.

There will be a general meeting of the Jockey Club at New-
market, on Wednesday next, after the races, to consider some
recommendations of the Finance Committee, and for other business.
At this meeting it will be proposed to alter Rule 13 of the Jockey
Club, so as to allow candidates for the Jockey Club to be balloted
for at any of the Newmarket meetings, provided they have been
proposed in a preceding meeting.
Mr. Greville has given notice of his intention of calling the
attention of the Jockey Club to the unsatisfactory state of the law
and practice of the Turf with regard to defaulters and the settle-
ment of their accounts, and to propose to the club (as the supreme
authority of the Turf) to establish a rule by whichl those matters
may be regulated according to a just and equitable principle.

YEWMARKET.—The heavy rains which have fallen during the
past week have made the running and exercise grotmds in excellent
order, and as the whole of the races willbe run on the other side of
the Ditch, over the Banbury mile, the ensuing meeting is certain
'to sustain its enjoyable charaf.tter. The extensive alterations,
detailed by r last winter, are in rapld progress, and the new road-
way adjoining Mr. Bottom's hid is nearly completed. The Old
Duke's Standis almost demolished, and the new weighing stand
opposite , the judge's chair, at the end of the Rowley mile, is in
course of erection. The betting ring and saddling stables will be
completed by the First October meeting.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening.
There has been a better demand for Cotton to-day,
and holders keeping back, prices favour the seller.
The sales are estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500
are on speculation and for export.
In the Liverpool Share Market there is no change
worthy of notice. The business doing is limited, and
prices remain steady. -
The increased demand for Money continues, and
this is shown not only in the increased firmness of
the quotations, but also in the Bank of England
return for the week ending Wednesday, the private
deposits during that period having been decreased to
the extent of 1,039,6731._ The movements in the
reserve of notes, and. In-_ the other deposits bear
corroborative evidence of the, effect produced
by the revenue collections : and ' various other
demands usual at - this period of. the
year. In some instances the best descriptions of
commercial bills are negociated at 2i per, cent., but
3 per cent. is the general charge, and the consequence
is an increased demand at the Bank of Engiand. It
is, nevertheleis, imagined that this increased activity
is merely temporary, and that after the 9th inst..,
when the July dividends become payable, , a muck
easier state of affairs will be experienced, especially
as in the succeeding six weeks a further considerable
amount will be realised in the shape of half-yearly
profits, earned by numerous joint-stock companies.

Red Sea Telegraph, which have improved to 91 to
101. • Canada Land are dealt in at 1111. Bank of

With respect to the movements in Mines during
the week, the Mining Journal of to-day states :-
" In taking a cursory review of the state of the Mining
Share Market during the past half year, we are as much
struck with the magnitude of the business,transacted during
the early part of it as we are at the dulness. of the present
moment. During. the last month, however, the number of
discoveries made in mines has been so unprecedented and
extraordinary, and have followed each other 'in such rapid
succession, that we have heard doubts 'expressed by "un-
believers" as to the reality of some of them. When the
war commenced it was generally thought that metals would
improve, and that persons who had been accustomed to
invest in foreign stocks and railways would sell out of thetii,
and turn their attention to dividend mines ; but this seems
to have been to a great extent prevented by the fall in
copper, owing,,as we_have lately explained, to the qnantities
of Chilian copper brought into the- market, to the limited
exportations, and to the badness of trade. In the six
months the dividends paid by mines, according to the
monthly list published in this journal, have amounted to
11 £231,241 is. -6d."
The Railway Traffic Receipts for this -week amount
to 499,2941 6s. Bd. This amount has been earned
on 9,0671 miles, and is ,equal to ,551 is 21d per
mile. The revenue for the corresponding week last
year was 472,6861, acquired on 8,1851 miles, and
gave an average of 53/ 16s .per mile. The increase in
the receipts of the week, is, therefore, 26,6081, or
os 21d per mile.
The movements of the Precious Metals during the
past week have again been important. The im-
ports have amounted to 706,0521, including 87,6001
from the United States by the America, 30,0001 by
the Hammonia, and 50,000/ by the Ariel. 145,6041
has arrived in the Result from' Australia, and
40,6481 in the Ocean Chief ; 242,2001 from Mexico
and the West Indies, by the Atrato ; 100,0001 in Gold
from Russia, and about 10,0001 in Silver from the
Continent. The exports have comprised 206,7141 to
the East Indies and China by the Ripon, and ship-
ments to the Continent through the London. Custom
House are estimated at 78,2601, making a total of
284,974/. The Gazette statement of the movement
of the Precious Metals for the week ending Wednes-
day last, gives the following totals, viz. :-Imports
of Gold, 733,9631; exports of Gold, 637,7981;;
imports' of Silver, 135,1351 ; exports of Silver,
?.06,9671.

With regard to business operations generally, the
circular oeMessrs. Browne, Hunter and Co., of this
date, says :
" During the past fortnight business has been extremely
languid, occasioned chiefly by the suspense and anxiety
regarding the state of affairs on the Continent; and,
although the allies have been again" successfukpeace seems

as far off as ever, owing to the attitude assumedly Prussia.
Since the change in the government of this country there
has been a large speculative business in sugar, and a con-
siderable amount of duty.paid in anticipatjon of an increase
in the rates to meet the deficiency in the revenue. It is
reported that a uniform rate is to be levied, and it may be
interesting at the present time to know the result of such
an alteration, assuming that the consumpti'n will continue
at the same ratio as it has during the first five months of
the present year, vizi ;-Ist quality, equal to white clayed,

or five months' consumption, £2,291,801, which, at 15s or
about an average advance of 2s per cwt., would yield
£2,597,610, being an, increase of £302,809, or an equivalent
of £726,742 for twelve months. Against this increase a
deficiency may arise, owing to the change which would have
to take place in allowing our sugar refineries to be put
under bond, and pay the duties on the quantity delivered,
instead of, as at present, on the quantity received ; otherwise
they could not compete with the Dutch. As this would
prevent a great deal of dissatisfaction and uncertainty to the
importer, and give an additional stimulus
.to our home
refiners, it is much to be desired that some such, measure
should be adopted."

Messrs. Du Fay and Co., of Manchester, in their
monthly circular, say :

. _
" .Ifirdehester Market.—Yarns : Although there has been
a more general demand for yarns latterly, it was neither
extensive nor were prices as remunerative to the spinners
as before. Partial purchases for India and China, and a
fair demand for the home trade have formed the most
'important items in the demand. Low numbers of Water
Twist, particularly 20's, which were depressed some time
ago, have slightly risen in price during the past month.
As the manufacturing interest all over the continent is
suffering, owing, to the war, the different descriptions of
yarns usually sent to Germany are by no means active, and
we believe many of our spinners feel the effects of the war
more than they express. how can it be otherwise, when
many of the manufacturers abroad are scarcely doing any-
thing ? • All higher numbers of Mule Twist, as well as fine 1
Double Yarns, are neglected. Manufactured Goods : Owing
to previous contracts entered into, and absence of stocks of
Grey Cloths, our manufacturers have been able to secure a
slight advance on Printing Cloth as well as other descrip-
tions of plain Grey Cloths. The home demand as well as
purchUses effected for some of the trans-Atlantic markets
have made up for the falling off in the purchases for
Bombay. Our comparitive statement shows the difference
in prices between the past and previous month, and there is
no doubt that the present quotations will be fully main-
tainep if Indian accounts keep good, and a nearer approach
to a state of peace be made. Yorkshire Markets ...The,
new wool clip having been..bought up in the country
markets by staplers and others, at from 2d to 3d per lo
higher than was generally anticipated, causes a rather
unsatisfactory state of trade here. Taking into considera-
tion the very slack trade we have had since the peace of
the continent was disturbed, it is. difficult to account for
such an advance ; speoulation and the abundance of money
may be the Most influential causes. The accounts from the
continental manufacturing districts continue so discouraging
that purchases for export in worsted yarns are of the most
limited, character. Spinners who could only with difficulty
effect sales before the advance took place at adequate prices,
find it now almost impossible to obtain rates in proportion
to the present value of wool. With such unfavourable
ciruinstandes, more machinery will have to be stopped in
our district. The demand for pieces remains limited; the
best customers continue to be the home trade and American
houses. Buyers are, however, very unwilling to pay prices
in proportion with the present value of the raw material,
and manufacturers will have no alternative but that of
working short time, as, with present prospects and the high
prices of wool, there is no inducement to work for stock
either in yarn or goods."
Messrs. J. P. Platt and Co., in their monthly
freight circular, inform us as follows :
Australia.—During the past month exports continued
very quiet, and we have little or no change in freights to
notice. At present we have a larger' number of vessels on
the berth. for Melbourne, than for the last three months,
arising mainly from an increased inquiry for vessels for
guano from the West Coast, together with the anticipated
improved accounts expected by the next Overland Mail.
We would call the attention of our friends to the recent
established Line of Clipper Packet Ships sailing from this
port for New Zealand, punctually on the 10th of each
month, in connection with the well known White Star Line.
The Tornado sailed on the 10th ult., with a valuable cargo
and full compliment of passengors. The packet of the
10th July is the Mermaid, to be followed by. the Telegraph,
10th August. Our quotations are :—Melbourne, to Rail-
way Pier, fine goods, 40s. ; hardware, earthenware, &c.,
355.. per ton measurement; weight, 355. per ton. To
Auckland, Wellington, fine goods, 40s. to 455. • earthen-
ware, &c., 355. to 40s. per ton measurement. To Sydney,
fine goods. 40s. to 455. ; earthenware, 40s. per ton measure-
ment; salt, common, 60s. ; stoved,.6ss. per ton weight. To
Adelaide, 40s. per ton measurement; 35s per ton weight.
United Sfates.—During the last week or two we have had
numerous arrivals which has pressed down freights, though
not to the extent we anticipated, owing to the great demand
for tonnage for coal to the Mediterranean, for which high
rates are freely offered. To the
,southern ports freights

Within the last three weeks, another issue of
Canada Government bonds has been placed in this
market to the extent of 300,0001. or 350,0001. These
bonds are redeemable in twenty-five years ; the dis-
count allowed on the instalments brings the issue
price down to 109 per cent. ; and the present price is
1104 to 1101. The first dividend will be payable on
the Ist January next. Coniidered in relation to her
revenue, the debt of Canada is already very large,
and the willingness of the government to add to it is
not likely to be diminished as long as fresh issues can
be thus speedily and secretly arranged.
The exact amount of Specie engaged for transmis-
sion to the East by the steamer Ripon, on the 4th
instant, is 206,7141., of which 4,462/. is gold, and the
rest silver. The whole is on private account, and it
will be seen by the subjoined particulars that the
largest proportion is for China, viz. :—For Hong
Kong, 82,1571. ; Shanghai; 55,8451. ; Calcutta,
60,480/. ; Singapore, 5,0001.; Madras, 1,332/. ; and
for Ceylon, 1,200/. •
Should the 800,0001. in silver, referred to in the
Mexican advices as having left the City of Mexico
for Vera Cruz, meet with no delays in its passage
across the country, it will probably reach Southampton
by the steamer due on the Ist of August.
The Funds opened with a strong appearance, owing to •
the continued rise on the Paris Bourse, the favourable
revenue returns, and the declaration of neutrality reiterated
by, ministers. After attaining a fresh rise of 4. per cent.,
however, Consols became dull in the afternoon, and the
last quotations were 1-3 per cent. below those of yesterday.
In the other departments of the Stock Exchange the
late rise is very well maintained. In the Discount
Market the choicest, paper was taken at 21 per cent.
Preparations are now being made for 'the bills maturing on
the 4th (Monday). A further sum of £20,000 in Australian
gold was taken to the Bank to-day. A fresh parcel of about
440,000 in 'twig) gold came to haw; and was taken for
