COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The demand for cotton in Liverpool yesterday
was limited, and barely reached 4,000 bales, in
small lots to the trade ; prices were unaltered from
Wednesday. Railway Shares were dull, but at
fuller prices.
The Colonial Produce Markets have been quieter
(luring the present week, but this is rather the re-
Iluit of a disinclination on the part of holders to
'ring forward supplies than a falling off in the de-
nland. Sugar has been 6d. per cwt. dearer in
souse cases, but importers of this article, as well as
°I coffee, which has ruled firm, have offered
4,Paringly, in anticipation of higher prices, owing
to the limited stocks. Rice has ruled dull, and
spices have been generally somewhat dearer. Tea
L
Public sale went irregularly. Common congou
18, 81d. per lb. Cochineal has been taken in at
about previous values. Tallow has been heavy,
,rand saltpetre in rather improved demand. The

nOf the dried fruit trade Messrs. Witherby and
C. state :—" From the high price at which it was
`eown that the new fruit had opened at Cephalonia
and Patras, a corresponding one was to be expected
here—it opened on the 17th inst. at 116 s. The
nt arrival last year took place at Liverpool on
4 11th October, when the price- opened at 755.,
market
within a fortnight obtained buyers from this
~_l4Birket at 80s. to 85s. The first arrival at this
tg/t was on Ist November, and was sold at 80s.
Ze had then a stock of 5,000 tons in London ;
Qiist this season on the above steamer's arrival,
17)had less than 1,000 tons of all sorts, good and
ra. The clearances for consumption from Ist to
have
inst.. notwithstanding the advanced prices,
~:re exceeded 376 tons against 160 tons in the
nesponding weeks of September, 1854, and
against 330 tons in the month of August last.
`I The quality of the new fruit is satisfactory, with
lees indication ofblight than in that of last year's
t teP. It has reached us at least three weeks
Itcluer than usual, and therefore somewhat before
the
h autumnal demand sets in. The importers,
I,°_wever, are firm at 1165., at which sales have
711 made. A small cargo per Northern steamer
nea sold afloat last week for this port. Before the
tel'i fruit appeared a further decided movement
eurred in 1851 and 1854 fruit, and at higher
tees. A portion of the purchases seems to have
th_ell made on provincial account, induced by ac-
re.l necessity from deficiencies of stock. The mar-
ht has been free from the speculative operations
Ich were the deceptive characteristics in the
Pa advance in 1853, when, at Michaelmas, we
het the winter demand with a stock of 6,500 tons.
e total crop of 1855, including such as is fit only
lOr distillation, will not reach 6,000 tons."

)ele suspension of Messrs. Mare and Co., of
Celtwall, has excited no surprise, as there has
tr,e n a large mass of their bills floating for some
ti`,_ti and onerous terms of discount have been paid
them. The taking of such numerous con-
qts is the cause, as an immense capital is required

Otracts prove remunerative. The liabilities,
