MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

FRIDAY EVENING

The Cotton Market to-day, though quiet, was
steady, with the prices of American slightly
easier; but in Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat there
has been a decline of ltd. per lb. since this day
In the early part of the week there was
an increased demand from spinners, and full
prices were obtained for American. Since Mon-
day the inquiry has been slacker ; prices became
easier, and slightly irregular. The import during
the week was 37,814 bales, and the sales were
56,710 bales. Of these latter 1,230 were taken
on speculation, and 11,460 were for export. The
sales to-day amount to 7,000 bales, of which
2,000 are for export or speculation, but chiefly
for export. The week's business is thus referred
to by Messrs. George Holt & Co., in their cir-
cular of this date

-
Up to the latest dates, the accounts from America are
of the most satisfactory character as regards the growing
crop ; and the promise, contingent upon a fine and open
autumn, is for a yield of unusual abundance. This
prospect of a large crop controls, to some extent, the
purchases in our market, while the same consideration
disposes holders to realise, and consequently brings a large
quantity of Cotton upon the market for sale; but the better
qualities of American, with good staple, and free from dust,
are scarce, and held for full prices ; the lower and dusty
sorts are heavy of sale, and. can generally be purchaaed
at a slight decline upon last week's pnces. We now

The Liverpool Share Market, which has been
dull during most of the week, opened this morn-
ing at a decline upon the prices of most kinds of

stock, occasioned it is said, by the impression
created-by an article-mrthe Italian-complications;
which appeared in the Mottiteirr. The trans-
actions yesterday included the following sales, at
the annexed rates, viz. :—Great Western, 591

business an improved feeling became prevalent.

The Corn Market has exhibited more steadiness
during the week than it did last week. Prices

generally have' ruled steady, the consumptive

demand for Wheat keeping page with the supplies,

The Provision Market has been againz-dull

The General Produce Markets are still inactive,
as they have been throughout the week. With

respect to these, Messrs T. & H. Little&le &

Co. in their circular, dated to-day, say

The apathy which has pervaded our Produce Markets
for so many months still continues unabated, and thc
danger seems to be that it may become chronic-
be, that we have becOme so accustomed to the excite
ment of speculation and large operations, that the daily
demand, when confined to the hand-to-mouth wants
of the trade, seems positive dulness, as if 'nothing
was doing in anything.' When the deliveries, however,
are looked into, a very different conclusion must be
arrived at, and it will be seen that a large and steady
consumption of nearly every article of commerce is
going on. Some- excuse is always found for this
state of things, fiscal changes, Continental disturbances,
monetary derangement, or bad harvest prospects—
none of these causes, however, are at work now : all is
peace and plenty, the population in the fullest employ,
well paid, and no doubt consuming at the highest - rate.
The true cause may be the more than ample supply of
Produce coming as returns for our immense exports,
and the ruinously low rates of freight ruling -at all
foreign ports, which have induced numerous cargoes to
be brought on ship's account. How long this state of
quietude may remain, it is impossible to say. At pre-
sent, there seems no cause to anticipate any great change
either in demand or prices. More propitious weather
for the harvest than we have had for the month of
August, it would be difficult to imagine, and the great
bulk of the corn is secured in prime condition, but the
product is estimated to be under an average, and pro-
bably 15 to 20 per cent. below the extraordinary yield
of last year."

The London Share Market continues dull, and
English Railway Stocks have not improved.
This, taken in connection with extremely little
demand for almost all kinds, continued to affect

quotations unfavourably, whilst some of the
principal lines suffered a further decline in value.
Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Lon-
don and North-western, and South-eastern, fell

respectively ss. per share.
There has been but little fluctuation and little
ti business to-day in üblic Securities. The prices

to the absence of business, and an evident desire
to avoid speculation. The final settlement of the
