COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday ruled
steady, and the sales amounted to 6,000 bales, of
Which 1,000 were taken for export and on spcu-
lation. Mid Uplands realised 51d. ; Mobile, 6d. ;
and. Orleans, 6d. per lb. The Railway Share
tarket was buoyant, at an advance of Ad. per cent.
/34 the principal lines._ _

In the circular of Messrs. Smith and Charles
the following statement is given respecting the
oondition of trade in Russia :
"The St. Petersburg advices are to the 20th Sep-
'tuber. The Exchange was 35-1 to 36 1-16th. 300
91c8 tallow taken on the spot at 111 re. 200 casks, en
4te,.. to Korno, at 115 re. There had been despatched
nta St. Petersburg and the interior 36 to 40,000 casks of
L4llow, and it is estimated that there are about 40,003
441 is more to be disposed of. Taking, therefore, the ex-
treme estimate in both cases, it appears that the total
114antity of tallow available for exportation this season is
Locut 80,000 casks. Looking at the fact that the average
'/Portation of tallow from Cronstadt for the 30 years
itliding with 1853 was 127,310 casks per annum, d for
14,e five years preceding the declaration of ward t was
AOOO casks, and that the prices ruling in our market for
Ne article since 1853 have been such as to stimulate pro-
duction, we have, in the estimates of the production of
.414 season, now before us, a most direct proof of the in-
rY this war is bringing upon the productive powers of
assia."

The extent of the demand for accommodation
11Pon the Bank of England, during the week to the
‘2d inst., shown by the weekly balance sheet,
48 fully as large as was represented. The cause we
• explained at the time as being rather a preparation
for the advanced rate of discount, and a provision
Itainst possible contingencies, than a pressure of
11le extreme characterwhich such an extraordinarily
l'apid addition to the securities would imply.
Although it is probable that during the first por-
ttieu of the current week similar circumstances
, ead their weight, we can scarcely suppose the in-
_ Nage to have been in the same ratio, and may
Isther expect it to diminish, now that 5 per cent.
%barge is established and speculation is discouraged.
F3tich an amount of loans and discounts has not, for
4 long period, figured in the Bank assets, and one
of two conclusions is inevitable : either there is an
dense trade doing, or financial operations of
~,fore
, than usual magnitude have been undertaken.
"e first supposition we believe to be erro-
lieeus, the grain imports being the largest
,°temercial absorbent, and most other branches
4111. g kept within very moderate limits. The fall-
off in the exports to Australia and other coun-
les,l the United States perhaps excepted, is the
'eat corroboration of this view. There is, however,
44 auxiliary and by no means unimportant strain 1
liPen the currency in the elevated prices of all raw
teaterials and articles of food. The experience of
ttr!elilies may be taken in Petto as that of the nation.
:Ileery article of consumption exacts an outlay far be-
-1,.°11d that of less prosperous or more abundant
veriods, since the ample employment afforded by
the War to a mass of persons ordinarily restricted
L
~,,' the merest necessaries, brings them in as buyers
' comparative luxuries, while the diminution of
the stocks and the deficiency of the production up-
"01(18 the market prices against the old opponent
dear money. Passing on to the balance-sheet of

h The Board of Trade Returns for the month end-
August 31st, 1855, have been issued, and
k‘lt •
en in comparison with those compiled for the
e period to Sept. 5 last year they present some
Tlteresting changes. The aggregate exports for
iqts month, this year, are given at the value of
e 91,473/., showing an increase of 107,7591. over
!,h()ae of last year, which is very satisfactory,
things considered. The augmentation is appa-
-4t in coals and culm, cotton yarn, linen yarn,

‘4olinery, silk manufactures, thrown sk, and
IP°ollen and worsted yarn, but there was il a
falling
ti.

of linen manufactures, cotton manufactures,
:berdashery and millinery, and hardwares and
tlery. The imports were smaller of live animals,
flour, cochineal, flax, hemp, mahogany, raw
cloves, pepper, pimento, tallow, wine and
6.(1°1, but there were increased receipts of tea,
ia lignea, cinnamon, nutmegs, quicksilver, rice,
t:43
Ita oil, opium, currants, indigo, wheat, oats,
jee, and cocoa. The shipping returns show an
~.4 ,ease in the tonnage of the clearances of vessels

;41Ployed in our foreign trade, but the entries aro
qiresented by a smaller amount.
ttl'he shipments of the precious metals direct
eta London during the week ending last Thurs-
comprised 74,500 ounces of silver, and 9,670
'4llces of gold, together with 3,2781.
There has not been much animation in the Eng-
Stock Market, but the decrease in the bullion
ing smaller than was anticipated prices are
