THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

transactions have been limited, the progress of the
elections and the dearness of money causing a
contraction of business. For Sugar there lug
been very little inquiry from the home trade, who
are limiting their operations on account of the
near approach of the reduced scale of duties.
The prices, however, are well maintained, and the
small quantity offered publicly, is speedily pur-
chased at the current values. The stock in
.London at the close of last week, was
37,539 tons, against 51,125 tons the corresponding
date of last year. There has been no particular
variation in the Coffee market and the few trans-
actions entered into have been at late rates.
Cocoa has been-rather cheaper; Tea has realised
a slight advance ; and for Rice there is an active
enquiry, chic* for export, at an improvement of
3.1 per cwt. The market for Rum, which had
• previously been quiet, became animated, and a
large
.speculative business has been done at full
prices. Spices have generally ruled steady. In
Saltpetre a further decline of is per cent. has
occurred. Tallow has been firmer. The Wool
sales closed on Tuesday, and it is stated that the
rise in prices at their commencement was not
wholly maintained.
The Railway meetings during the week have been
few in number and unimportant in character, and
the same applies to Joint Stock meetings, &c., the
only meeting of importance being that of the
London and Paris Joint Stock B ink, G. A.
Hamilton, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The object of
the tweting was to confirm the resolution of the
past meeting for diss'olving the company. An
amendment was proposed by Mr. Harbridge for a
committee to investigate the accounts, which was
negatived by a large majority, and the original
resolution was carried. The chairman stated that
if the directors and their friends had not taken up
the 2,000 shares in hand, there would not have
been so much now to divide in the winding-up of
the company. A vote of thanks was passed to the
chairman and directors.

The project of establishing a National Bank in
Turkey, has again been placed before the public on
fresh conditions, and regulations will shortly be
promulgated for its constitution The concession
is granted for 30 years. The capital is to be
10,000,0001 sterling, with the obligation to increase
'it if necessary. The number of shares is to be
500,000 of 201 each, and a subscription list is to be
opened in England, France, and Germany. We
shall defer entering into particulars until we are
in possession of the official arrangements.
The letters by the Fulton from New York, arrived
at Southampton. were delivered this afternoon.
The New York Money Market was easier, good
prime paper going readily at 8 to 9 per cent.
Exchange on London was rather flat, at 108 to
1084. The Cotton Market had been buoyant, but
the receipt of the Persia's advices had disap-
pointed holders, and the market becatne heavy,
and closed with a downward tendency, A
steady fair demand prevailed for Flour, and an
advance of 5e per barrel had taken place. Ti,p
market for Wheat had been active, closing quietly
at unchanged prices. Indian Corn had advanced
c per bushel, with a fair business, mainly for
export. The Provision market was active. Mess
Pork had advanced 25e. Freights were rather
easier, with a moderate amount offering at 4d to 4-id
for Grain, is 3d to is 7d for Flour, and I.Bd to
5-32 d for Cotton to Liverpool.
