MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

LIVERPOOL, Monday Evening.

The Cotton Market to-day was aeady, and a
considerable extent of business was done, but
without change in prices. The sales amounted to
8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for export, or
taken on:speculation.
In the Liverpool Share market there was con-
siderable buoyancy, and a large business was done,
particularly in Leeds Stock, which touched 103.
In the course of the afternoon, however', a fall in
prices took place suddenly, owing to a marked
reaction in the French Funds ; and the market
closed heavily, and with a fluctuating character.
The transactions included Birkenheads at 771 ;
Eastern Counties, 11 9-16 ; Great Western, 71 ;
Lanoashire and Yorkshire, 103, -1, 21, 4, 1 ; Lon-
don and North Western, 991, 4,1, 4, ; Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 391 ; .Midland,

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Monday Evening.
The market for English Securities was affected
unfavourably to-day. Consols, without any easily
assignable cause, declined an eighth per cent., and
tht general tone of business was less satisfactory

and 30s. pm. New Indian Five per Cent. Loan
is marked 1041-Ito . Canada New Loan shows
firmness, beini quoted 2a to 1 prem. Shares of
the Bank of lurkey are at Z to ' prem.
The English Railway Share Market was in-
active, yet prices do not appear to have under-
gone any material change, though the tendency
is rather adverse than otherwise. South Easterns
realised 85 and 853 ; Great Northerns, 1081 and
1071; and Midlands, 1113 and 1101. -
The market for Foreign Securities was of
moderate activity, but at rather" reduced rates.

having been dealt in at 221 and 4. In the

The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of yesterday :
THE MONEY MARKET.

The funds were inactive but firmer, and closed at an
advance of per cent. The principal feature was the
continued rise in British railway stocks. The demand
for money was quite equal to the average on a Saturday.
The dividends will be payable at the Bank on Monday.
At Paris, 3
demand
cent.- rentes show a rise of fully per
cent. The demand for gold for the Continent continues
active, and a further sum of £32,000, in bars, was taken
-from the Bank.—Da4 News.

The English funds opened with dulness this morning
on the unfavourable Bank returns, but subsequently
experienced an advance of g, in consequence of a con-
siderable improvement on the Paris Bourse. There has
been more ease to-day in the discount market, and
business occasionally done below 21 per cent. At the
Bank the applications were, moderate. In the Stock
Exchange there was a:full_supply of money at 14 to 2
per cent.—Times.
The bank bullion is-£7,626 below the lowest amount
touched throughout the whole of last year. The Tines
ascribes this to the enormous importation and the creation
of Indian securities. In addition to about £15,000,000
invested last year in Indian loans and railways, we
bought about £7,000,000 or £8,000.0:0 of the native
debt. These purchases are now going on at a greater
rate than ever, and there are about £40,000,000 or
£50,000,000 still remaining in. India. The Times con-
jectures that the payment of these securities may lead to
an increase in the general rate of discount, and when
there may be a question 'Whether transactions in Indian
securities are quite so profitable as they at first sight
appeared.
