LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening.

Business continu tEt very dull, but the uneasiness
of yesterday has slightly disappeared. In Cotton
very little is being done, but prices are firmly
maintained. To-day sales were about 1,000 bales.
The Liverpool Share Market does not
seem to feel the effect of the increase
in the bank rate of interest at present, and
has shown surprising steadiness during the day
The following were the days transactions :-

The Funds to-day were firmer, owing to the con
tinued investments of the nubile, and prices were
quoted + to 1 per cent higher than the closing
prices of yesterday. Consols for Money closed at
BS4 to 881, and for the Account at 881 to-88,-,1-. After
official hours the latter advanced to 888 to 88Z.
In the London Railway Share Market there was
rather more business done than has been the case
for some days past, and in many instances there
was a partial recovery from yesterday's depression.
The following were the closing prices :-Caledo-
nian, 78, 79 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 611, 62i ;

The Bank of France raised its rate of discount
this molting, from 61 to 71 per cent., and the
Three per Cent Rentes declined to 66f. 50e., but
this is only 30c. below yesterdays closing prices.
_ _

Commercial letters from Paris state that the
augmentation of the Bank's rate of discount to
per cent is obviously a measure not of a nature to
facilitate transactions ; yet trade has accepted the
rise with resignation, preferring to nay a high rate
of interest rather then submit to any curtailment
of the time to run for bills now admitted to dis
count. The retail trade in Paris remains as last
week, rather active, and feels the benefit of the
return of Parisians from their country trips. The
manufacturers of Lyons and St. Etienne suffer
from the sad state of affairs in the United
States. The Americans have given no orders what-
ever this season, and all the Stuffs manufactured
with a view to the American market are now on
sale at greatly reduced prices. The last advices
from New York give no hope of any immediate
change for the better- French Silks are now selling
at New York at 25 and 30 per cent. cheaper than at
Lyons and St. Etienne. In Parrs the demand for
articles de Paris is satisfactory. Some considerable
orders have been received from Russia, and it is
hoped that the modifications lately introduced into
the Russian tariff will increase the already great
consumption of French Produ-te in that country.
The happy result of an abundant harvest are now
apparent throughout France. The price of Bread,
Butcher's Meat and all alimentary substances have
fallen considerably. Dread has now been reduced
to 35c. kilog. in Paris, and 30c. in most of the de-
partments. These are the ordinary prices of the
years of plenty. In the Corn markets the decline
seems to be checked, but this fact is to be attributed
to the abundant supply, which renders it difficult
to effect sales. There is no fear of any decided
rise.

There is ;cry little business being done in the
-Grain Trade, and at the msjority of the markets
held to-day, prices of the leading articles declined.
The Produce Maikets are also very dull, and
prices are merely nominal.
The following are the latest quotations of Foreign
Exchanges :—Amsterdam short, 11 154- to 11 16,1 ;
Do three months, 11 191- to 12; Rotterdam do,
11 19-t to 12 ; Antwerp do., 25 50 to 25 67/ ;
Brussels do.. 25 50 to 25 57 i; Hamburg do., 13 161
to 13 101 ; Paris, short, 25 25 to 25 35 ; Do., three
months, 25 80 to 25 85 ; Marseilles do-, 25 80 to
25 90 ; Frankfort do., 1191 to 1194; Vienna do.,
10 40 to 10 45 Trieste do.. 10 41 to 10 45 ; Peters-
burg 351 to 35/ ; Madrid do., 488 to 49.

The Discount houses and banks have announced
an increase in the rates allowed for deposits The
Lombard-street discount houses now allow 7 per
cant. at call, and 71 per cent, with a few day's
notice ; the joint-stock banks 7 per cent. ; and
the National Discount Company, 71 per cent. at
call, and 71 per cent. at notice.
At Amsterdam, Frankford, and Vienna, on Satur-
day, the Stock Markets experienced a further reco -
very, but the rise in the rate of discount in London
will probably react unfavourably upon the conti-
nental markets

Letters received from Glasgow report the failure
of another house in that city, with liabilities esti-
mated at about 100,0001.

The precise amount of gold brought from Mel-
bourne by the steamer King Phillip is 30,834 ozs
and 20,000 sovereigns, worth in all about 143,2001
The sovereigns being of English coinage, will go
into the Bank.
The steamer James Brown has brought 11,5001
in specie, principally sovereigns, from Constanti-
nople.
A telegraphic despat eh received at Lloyd's, dated
Helsingfor9, Oct. 1-7, mentions the wreck of the
steamer Spurn, while on her voyage from Cronstadt
to Hull. The vessel struck upon Digsgar and
shortly after wards sink, and is described as a
" total loss." The crew were saved.
The weekly traffic return of the Great Western
Railway of Canada, just received, exhibits a de-
crease of 2,8831. compared with that for the
Corresponding week of last year.
The gerants" of the London General Omnibus
Company give notice that in consequence of an
inaclt quate number of shares being deposited prior
to the general meeting, which was called for the
20th inst., the meeting will be adjourned to the 10th
of November. The number of shares required to
be deposited, to render the meeting legal, was
50,000, or one-fourth of the total capital.
The numbers are published of 343 bonds, repre-
senting 57,3001. of the Danish Three per Cent.
Loan, which were cancelled, under the sinking
fund, on the 9th inst.
Owing to the further extraordinary depreciation
reported by the packet just arrived, American
railway securities of all descriptions were yeeter-

day greatly depressed, and in numerous eases
prices were merely nominal. For instance, Michi-
gan Central 100 dole. shares, which were quoted
on Saturday, 50 to 60 per cent., fell yesterday to
40 to 50 per cent., whilst Michigan Southern have
fallen from 20 to 25, to 10 t) 20 per cent. (ex
coupon). It is remedied, however, as evidence of
the general btlief in the transitory nature of the
present extremedepression, that the prices curtent
in London are in nearly all cases greatly above
those quoted in New York.
Subjoined is the report of yesterday's London
