LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Nov 4.
The cotton market continues extremely dull, at very
irregular and low rates. The sales—including. 20
Pernambucos 931, 120 Bahias Sid to BM, 700 Surats 5d to
al—are reported 2,000 bales, of which 500 are on
speculation.

Livzitroor., Wednesday Evening.
There is no change for the better to notice in
our Cotton Market. The demand is limited, and
prices are laarely supported. To-day's sales were
about 2 000 bales, one-fourth on specula ior-
The Liverpool Share Mai ket opened very
flat to-day ; and, in consequence of the
stringency of the Money Market, and a
rumoured increase in the Bank rate of interest,
prices declined about 1 per cent. The following

The Money Market keeps exceedingly stringent,
and to-day fears were entertained that another rise
in the rate of discount would be announced by the
Bank, This, however, has not yet been done, but
at the weekly meeting of the directors tc-morrow
it may be found expedient to take such a step.
The Funds to-day suffered another decline of
about a per cent., with a very heavy marker.
Consols for Money and the Account closed at 89k,
and sfter offic3ial hours there were sellers at 89.

In the London Railway Share Market there
was very little business done te-clay, and prices
were generally lower. The closing quotations were
as follows: Caledonian, 761, 77; Eastern Counties,
521, 631; East Lancashire, 89, 91; Great Northern,
931, 941; do. A shares, 84, 80; Great Western, 49 ,
50 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 91i, 911 ; Leeds
Northern, 47, 48; London and North Western,
941, 95 ; London and 50n..11 Western, 884 ;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 371, 38 ;
Midland Stock, 81i ; North British, 471, 48 ;
South Eastern and Dover, 621, 63 ; York,
Newcastle, and Ber Wick, 91, 92 ; . York
and North Midland, 77, 78 ; Grand Trunk
of Canada, 37,1, 381; Great Western of
Canada, 181 ; do. (New), 2L 21. After
official hours the following were the cur-
rent prices :—Caledonian, 761, 76a ; Eastern
Counties, 104, ; East Lancashire, 89, 91 ; Great
Northern, 941; Do. A Shares, 84, 83 ; Great
Western, 491 ; Midland Stock, 801, 81i; South

The amount of bar gold withdrawn from the
Bank yesterday for exportation was about 60,0001.
In addition, 30,000 s)vereigns are known to have
been taken out for exportation to the United States
by the steamer Ariet, which will leave Southampton
to-day, and will take same additional ana:,uats. The
ascertained withdrawals ofgold for exportation since
Saturday morning are thus raised to 220,0001, Of
the bar gold withdrawn yes‘,erday, a portion was de-
tained to pay for silver procured from the Continent,
and already shipped on beard the steamer Ripon for
the East. The bullion movement being thus un-
favourable, the impatience for the arrival of some
supplies of gold from Australia is increasing. The
Avon, with £206,000 has now been eighty-7.ine
days at sea ; and telegraphic intelligence may be
daily expected of the arrival of the s!earner Emeu

of gold, and with advices of the sailings of a
number of gold ships for this country,
The steamer Colom':io has brought £5,266 in
specie from Alexandria.
A. total cf about £50,00 in silver reached the
Thames on Monday from Antwerp and Havre, and
is included in the specie list of the Hipor, the par-
ticulars of which have alreacly been published.
Inclusive of the quarter of a million for which
the East India Company have entered into con-
tracts, abut 450,0001 in silver is known to have
been already sold for exportation to the East by
the Colorhbo, which will sail on the 20th inst.
Although it is as yet somewhat early to venture
upon an estimate, there is reason to believe that
the total remittances by that vessel will be little
below those just shipped by the Ripon, which sails
to-day.
The Silver Market is quiet as usual immediately
after the departure of the bi-manthly mill to the
East. Subjoined are the current quotations in the
Bullion Market, which exhibit much firmness :
Bar gold 77s 9.1 per oz, standard ; United States
gold coin, 77s per oz. Bar silver, 5s 11i per oz,
standard ; and five franc pieces, 43 per oz.
Great disappointment and regret is felt at the
untoward delay in the launching of the Great
Eastern steam-ship, now christened more properly
the "Leviathan." The engineers will, on the next
trial, take measures to prevent any similar acci-
dent to that which occurred yesterday, and by
which the launch of the vessel is delayed.
The present weather is unfavourable for out-
door agricultural labour, but considerable progress
has, however, been made in Autumn seed-sowing.
The breadth of land under cultivation next year
will probably much exceed that of 1857.
Accounts from Scotland announce another failure
there iu connction with the American trade,
but the arrangements effected to give assistance
to the Western Bank of Scotland, will naturally
relieve the local interests, and favourably react in
houses here.

The depression of the market for Sugar continues
severe. Yesterday, the hulk of the quantity cfccred
in public sale had to be bought in, although a
decline of fully 2s. per cwt. was submitted to. A
public sale of Plantation Ce 3 ion Coffse, on the other
hand, went off at an advance of 23. per cwt. ; and
Cotton was sold at an advance of about 41. per lb.
over the late lowest point of the market.
Great Western Railway Stock was yesterday
pressed for sale as low as 494, and was last quoted
exactly 50. This is the lowest range witnessed
since the panic which took place iu the stock
upwards of eighteen months ago, when the price
also fell a fraction below 50. Considering the state
of the Money Market and the pecuniary position of
the company, it is apprehended that the directors
will have great difficulty in dealing with its
enormous mortgage deb'.

A petition for the Winding-Up of the Irish Waste
Land Improvett ent Society is expected to ba
heard before Vice-Chancellor Kindereley on the
13th instant.

An Extraordinary General Meeting of Clattesen'e
Patent Flax Company is called for the 17th
ins'art, to receive the directors' report and the
yearly accounts.

Th© haF-yearly interest is advertised on the
Corporation of Montreal 6 per cent. Loan.
