There has been more business doing in the
Liverpool Share Market to-day, and it has shown
a greater degree of firmness, prices in
the nearly all
cases having slightly advanced. Among
day's sales we notice :—Chester and Birkenhead,
61 to 1,1; Eastern Counties, 114; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 95; Lancaster and Preston, new
a shares, 9' p. ; London and North-western,
; Midland, 104-a- ; North Staffordshire 44-

The market for the Public ties was rather flat to-da Funds and Securi-
y
business prices had slightl , and at the close of

for money were quoted at

The London Railway Share Market WaB very

firm to-day, and prices closed at a slight advance.
Among the transactions we find, Caledonians 82a;
Eastern Counties 57-1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire
95-k to 951; London and North-western 931 to
94-1- ; Midland 104.

The demand for Money is somewhat more ac-
tive than was the case a few days ago, and rates
of discount in the open market are now fully
equal to that charged by the Bank of England—

21. per cent.
The Liverpool Produce Markets are generally
pretty steady, and a fair business is being done
in Sugar, Molasses, Cocoa, and Rice, at full
prices. At Mincing-lane Sugar is very quiet ;
but Coffee is firm, with a rather better inquiry.
Tea is inactive, but very firm in price. Other
articles about the same as previously reported.
The stock of Sugar in Liverpool on Saturday
last was 21,157 tons, of which 5,303 tons were
B.P. and 15,854 tons foreign, against 24,822 tons
corresponding week of last year, of which 8,954
tons were B.P. and 15,868 tons foreign. The
stock of Tea in bond on Saturday was 5,096,4981b5.,
against 5,921,2901b5. corresponding week last

year.
At the London Corn Market to-day the supplies
of old Wheat were in good condition, but of
new rather more samples were offered. Wheat
was in fair request at last Monday's rates, and
Barley was rather dearer. Beans, Peas, and Oats
were unaltered.
The Wool trade in Liverpool is in a very firm
position; the prospects are good, and prices are
looked upon as at their lowest for some time.
There is a fair inquiry for good qualities of
washed Peruvian, and the stock is small of all
kinds. Fine and merino classes of washed are
much sought for, and would bring high rates.
Greasy Peruvian is in moderate demand, par-
ticularly the fine parcels. We have no transac-
tions to report in Alpaca Wools, the feeling hav-
ing been quieter in the last fortnight, and the
value unchanged. For Vicuna Wool there is
little inquiry. The demand for fine Lima is very
strong, and parcels are bought up as soon as
landed.
On Saturday, about £112,000 in bar gold for
Chili, on account of the late loan, was withdrawn
from the Bank this afternoon. The gold by the
Teviot, £46,000, was delivered during business
hours, and will be transmitted abroad. No alter-
ation has occurred in the price of bar silver, which
is quoted ss. I;i'd.
The Spanish Financial Commission haVe an-
nounced an auction of the foreign redeemable
debt, at Madrid, on the 30th instant, for which
purpose 375,000 reals have been assigned by the
Government.
From the weekly circulars of Mr. Griffiths, of
Wolverhampton, we learn that the iron trade of
the district during the week has not much
changed; if any, it is most unquestionably for
the better. All the works continue in full and
active operation, and the orders from the United
States are considerably over the late average.
The demand for sheets, boiler plates, angle bars,
hoops, and nail sheets, continues brisk, and more
than an average business has been done in com-
mon rods during the past week. Prices for all
sorts of Staffordshire iron are firm, and the busi-
ness done has been the turn of the market against
buyers. The meetings at Wolverhampton and
Birmingham were tolerably well attended. The
markets presented a decidedly improved tone,
and several small lots of pigs changed hands at
the full current rates. Inquiries were made for
Hydrate and first-class all mine brands of pigs
for forward delivery; but the pig men declined
forward contracts, except to their regular cus
for this quarter only, and for these ful
tes are demanded.

of -peace had occasioned advanced quotations for
money at New York. Call loans had risen from
5t06t0 6 to 7 per cent. Business paper of the
best stamp was taken at 61 to 71

Sterling

exchange was more favourable; bankers' bills
could be had at 1101 to 1107. In consequence of
the receipt of Enropean advices of a less favour-
able tenor cotton became irregular, and prices
fluctuated somewhat, the market closing -4-c. to
ic. per lb. below previous quotations. The mar-
ket had been utterly devoid of speculation, and
the limited demand had come chiefly from spin-
ners ; middling Uplands, 121. States and Western
flour had advanced 15c. to 25c. per barrel, owing
to the increased demand. Canada flour dull, at
$5 to $6 75c. per barrel. Southern flour had
been buoyant, under an increased
.demand, and
prices of Brandywine and Georgetown were 10c.
to 20c. per barrel higher, while other kinds were
unchanged. For some kinds of wheat an advance
of sc. to 10c. had been realized. Indian corn
was nominally 4c. to 6c. lower. Iron was steady,
but inactive. At New Orleans, on the 2nd ult.,
cotton was dull at 1 11-, c. for middling.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
Business in the Funds to-day exhibits no revival
whatever; but the market is rather firmer, and a
recovery of 1-16 to 1 per cent. has taken place.
In the other markets quietude likewise prevails,
and prices are generally firm. The attention of
the dealers is principally occupied with the set-
tlement in shares and foreign stocks. The New
Russian Loan remains quoted 2 to 1 prem., and
the Indian 971,- to 984. Consols are officially
marked 951 to 951, and are now quoted
951 to 951, both for Money and the 7th of
September. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 2291
to 2231; the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 951
to -2- ; the New Three per Cents., at 951 to ;
the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, at
941 ; ditto, 1859, at 941; India Bonds, at 12s.
dis. ; and Exchequer Bills, at 235. to 265. prem.
The Foreign Stock Market is also quiet. There
is still a demand for Mexican Bonds, which are
marked 201 for the New Account (31st of Aug.).
Turkish Stocks present little change, the Old
Loan being quoted 82 to 83, and the New 721 to
731. Venezuela Bonds remain flat, whilst Peru-
vian are fairly supported.
