MONETARY AND COMMEROPAt.-
LIVERPOOL, Thursdgy 'Evening.
The Cotton Market was quiet and *teady to-day,
the sales reaching '6 00®. bales, inekding 1,000 on
speculation. and for - export. Prices are fully main-
tained.
In the Liverpool Share Market to-day there was
not a large business doing, but prices were steady.
Indeed, in Chester and Birkenhead there was an
advance of from two to two and a-half per cent.
Chester and Birkenhead, 741 3 Great Western, 554;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, '904, 90, 901 ; 901 :

Although the demand for Money has increased
there has been no change to notice in the rates of
Discount; which are under the average, namely,
per cent., and the difference between this quotation
and the official minimum still excludes the Bank
from active participation in discount business. •The
consequence is that " the other securities " of the
establishment are gradually diminisning, according
as. the paper held there arrives at maturity. Even
the privilege offered to holders of stock, who obtain
temporary advances, does not enable the authorities
to find increased employment for their accumulated
resources. Notwithstanding this anomalous position
of affairs, however, it is scarcely presumed that in-
creased facilities will be considered advisable; for,
while the inquiry for accommodation is so limited,
the capitalists of Lombard-street and elsewhere will
regulate their terms according to the minimum, even
if reduced, in order to monopolise the bulk of paper
with which the market may be supplied. At the
Stock Exchange, the periodical settlements produce
scarcely any effect, as speculative operations are too
limited to result in extensive " differences" on each
succeeding settling day. The Railway Calls and Loan
Instalments now accruing *are also very moderate,
and while the requirements of the public are thus
kept within such limited bounds, any immediate re-
currence of pressure, unless it should result from
panic, can scarcely be considered probable. To-
day, the Market for the Public Funds and Securities
opened steadily, but a sale of £50,000 worth of stock
for a Scotch Bank, changed the character of the
market, and prices were quoted per cent. lower
than at the close of yesterday. Consols closed at
921 ; Exchequer Bills, 23 to 26; Bank Stock, 219 to
221, and the New Threes, 931.
In the London -Railway Share. Market to-day
there was a complete stagnation in business, but
we do not notice any material change in quota-

HOUSEKEEPERS.—The coffee sold by Thompson
Brothers, 6, Elliot-street, at Is. 4d., is better than you
pay_ls. Bd. for at any other establishment.
_HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—Scurvy, leprosy,
and cutaneous diseases. The heaviness, weariness, and
dejection of spirits, usually attendant on sufferers from
diseases of the skin, are speedily removed by the use of
Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Their 'efficacy in correct-
ing the bad habit of the body stands unrivalled. In places
abroad, where the malady is prevalent, the cures are won-
derful. The purifying properties of the pills, and the pecu-
liar effect the ointment has on the skin, render them superior
to any other remedy. In all cutaneous affections, these
remedies stand unrivalled ; and, as a cosmetic, the ointment
is in very general repute.
LA.DIES. —Thompson Arothers, 6, Elliot-street, sell the
best four shilling tea in England.
To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.—A most profitable
article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self-
cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders
and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are
invaluable wherever there is bat' water. S. and Co. allow
a liberal discount on export and wholesale orders.
LEWIS AND COMPANY'S NEW ESTABLISHMENT FOR
BOYS' CLOTHING.—Number of boys clothed for the week
eliding Saturday, June 18th, 967: corresponding
week last year, 939.—Increase, 28 boys.

VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS.
Our patriotic, practical, and facetious friend, "the Butter-
man," this week gives a satisfactory answer to the question,

augmentation: Under these circumstances some expectation
prevails of a further early reduction in the minimum rate
at • that establishment. • About 232,000 in gold, chiefly
Australian, by the Monarch, was sent into the bank to-day.
The Suffolk is announced, from Melbourne, with 47,934
ounces of gold, valued at £192,000. About £lOO,OOO in
Russian gold has also arrived. A telegram from Odessa
mentions a sUdden fall in freights at that place from 60s per
ton for tallow to 455. A considerable contraction has
taken place in the shipments of grain.—Times City drticle,
Wednesday Evening.

A parliamentary return has just been issued of all
sums paid for Duty on Insurances against fire during
the past year by each of the fire insurance com-
panies of the United Kingdom. We are glad to
find, that there are only two provincial offices above
those of our Liverpool institutions, and we hope, and
are almost confident, that the latter will soon be at
the head of the provincial offices. Their manage-
ment must ensure it if anything can. The following,
are the chief sums paid by the offices : --Metropolitan :
Sun, 207,5791; Phcenix, 132,6711; Royal Exchange,
86,5581; County, 66,3421; Imperial, 57,1121; Alliance,
51,0211; Globe, 44,5211; Atlas, 44,4721; Guardian,

49,3431; Royal Liverpool, 43,3911; Manchester,
40,1611; Leeds and Yorkshire, 24,245/ ; Lancashire,
22,3871; Yorkshire, 21,9391. The total duty for
1858 was 1,472,2601. By the same return it appears
that the total amount insured on farming stock
(which is exempt from duty) in the United Kingdom
was 73,570,481/.
Some statistics, in relation to the commerce and
navigation of France and her colonies, and foreign
relations, have just been published, showing the total
official value of the imports for 1858 to amount to
2,034,900,000 f., being a large diminution over 1857,
accounted for by the effects of the Ajnerican crisis,
which occurred towards the end of the latter year.
The falling off is 201,000,000 f. As to the exports BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET.—JUNE 23.

By the arrival of the Annie Wilson, Shalamer, and
Owen Glendower to-day, the two former at Liverpool,
and the latter in the Downs, we have received up-
wards of a quarter of a million of Specie to the
amount of bullion in the kingdom. The Silver
Market is flat, in consequence of large purchases
having been effected yesterday. Business is restricted,
and bars are quoted ss. 2d. per oz. standard. The
Mexican dollars by the last packet have been sold at
ss. Oild. per oz. About 90,0001. in Russian gold
arrived to-day. Although the exports to the Conti-
nent continue large, the imports leave a small surplus
to be taken into the Bank.

ness Railway Company has been held to-day, L. S.
Magnus, Esq., in the chair, at which it was agreed

ARROWROOT : St. Vincent sold at 3d to 51d.
SALTPETRE: Refraction 54 sold at 455, and the article
has a dull appearance.
In other articles no material alteration, but, with the
exception of sugar, markets have a quiet appearance.

The market is quiet; subjoined are the prices :—Town
tallow 545, net cash ; Petersburg Y.C., on the spot, 56s ;
July, 56s ; August to September, 66s 6d; October to De-
cember, .575.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET—JUNE 23.
There is no new feature to notice in our markets. All
kinds of hops still rule heavy at the late quotations, and on
the whole the plantation accounts are more favourable.

LONDON MONEY MARKET.—JUNE 23.
Consols steady and firm at 921- to 92,§4. all morning.
Scarcely a transaction doing. Shares without change, and
the same inactivity prevailed asin Consols. Canadian steady.
French inactive and unchanged.

LONDON MINING MARKET.—JUNE 23.
The principal feature to-day is a demand for shares in East
Wheal Russell. which are now quoted at 81 to 9. There
are likewise inquiries for East Basset, East Gunnislake,
Wheal Grenville. and Lady Bertha shares. Generally the
transactions have been on a limited scale. Port Philip
Mining shares are officially marked 10s. In other colonial,
as well as foreign descriptions, no change of importance has
occurred.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.----jusn.23.
There was a full average supply of beasts, sheep, lambs,
and calves here
.to-day, and the trade for them generally
ruled heavy at Monday's currency. Pigs commanded very
little attention. Beef, 3s to 4s 6d ; mutton, 3s 4d to 5s ;
lamb, 5s to 6s ; veal, 3s 10d to 5s ; pork, 3s to 4s 2d.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.--JUNE 23.
Pull attendance at market, aad a rather better tone
prevails than for some time past. Holders of wheat and
flour generally require an advance of is to 2s per quarter
on the former, and 6d to is per sack on the latter, which
was reluctantly complied with by needy buyers, and only
a limited business .resulted. No change occurred in the
value of any other article.

to lease the line of the East Kent Railway for five

years, and-to _raise additional capital for the purpose
required. The Chairman (Mr. Magnus) said the
shareholders of the East Kent Railway Company
had already agreed to this lease. The bill for that
purpose was therefore agreed to unanimously.
In the absence of fresh alarms, whether-transmitted from
the Continent, or furnished at home, the Funds to-day
were very firin,' the continued, and general scarcity4of .stock
having. powerful influence. The issue of the expected battle
is awaited with extreme interest in all circles ' - meanwhile
speculators operate very sparingly. In the other departments
of the Stock Exchange business was limited, but firmness
prevailed. At Paris the scrip of the new loan was in course
of delivery. The letters indicate that the violent tone of
the German press excited a great deal of disquietude. In
the Discount Market the rate for best paper has risen from
21 to 21 per cent. In the sugar market to-day an advance
of 6d per cwt. was paid. The wheat market presented no
Alteration.—Daily News City Article, Wednesday Evening.
The English Funds opened this morning at an advance
of an 1, and experienced a further improvement, which,
however, was not maintained. The railway market has
been very inactive, but, as regards English stocks, firmer in
character. Most of the leading descriptions closed I to
per cent. higher, the only change in an adverse being a
decline of 3 per cent. in • Great Northern. There has been
rather .an increased demand for money to-day, but at the
Bank the applications for discount show only a slight I
