MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
firmly, and prices of all kinds were unchanged.
The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,000 on speculation,
comprising, in addition to American, 300 Pernam
and Maranham 6d. to 74d., 400 Egyptian 51d. to
61d., and 1,000 Surats 3lid. to 41d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market was quiet, at a decline of
nearly x per cent. on the leading stocks.
The Paris Bourse closed last week with firmness.
The prices of the French Three per Cents., as com-
pared with the preceding week, were well sup-
ported, though dealings for money on Saturday
evening were entered into at 5 centimes less than
the previous day. The animation which marked
the business of the week had begun to diminish,
yet the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock was firm
at an improvement of 25c. both for money and the
account. In the Railway and other share markets
speculators had done a good business. The receipts
from the principal lines for the week continued to
be satisfactory, and showed an increase on the cor-
responding week of 1854. Trade generally was
brisk.
The Morateur [of Saturday states that the
Council of Administration of the Credit Foncier of
France considered it necessary that the statutes of
that establishment required some modification
since its last organisation. A commission has been
appointed by the Minister of Finance to examine
the reports which have been submitted weekly to the
Council of State, consisting of Messrs. Fourmes,
Director-General of Records and Domains, Presi-
dent ; Serveux, General Secretary of Finance ;
Vandal, Director-General of Customs ; Delefine,
Director-General of Accounts; Chouri, Andouville,
and Chappeas, Inspector-General of Finances.
In addition to a new issue of 10-franc gold
pieces, the French mint have resolved to coin 5-
franc gold pieces, both of new designs.
The New York advices state that the stock mar-
ket there was in an unsettled state, but good divi-
dend paying railway and other undertakings ruled
firm, and were in request. No material alteration
has occurred in the money market, and a good
supply was expected to exist during the business
season.

From California we learn that the mines were

yielding well. The crops promised abundantly,
and business prospects were improving.
The intelligence from Mexico reports that Gene-
ral Albarez had resigned, and Comonfort was to
be his successor.

Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope state
that, notwithstanding the tightness of the money
market, trade at Graham's Town was tolerably
steady. The scarcity of specie was, of course, se-
verely felt. Large quantities of wool continued
to arrive in the town, which were sent either in
exchange to supply immediate wants, or, other-
wise, as remittances to country dealers. The
market was well attended, and a fair business was
being transacted. _

The wheat trade is rather active to-day, and
prices are 2s. higher than on Monday last. All
other articles are steady.

There is less animation in the Stock Market to-
day, and the quotations, unsupported by any im-
portant money purchases, show symptoms of weak-
ness, being kto / per cent. lower. Consols have
been 88i for money, and 88a I for account. Ex-
chequer Bills are 7s. to 3s. discount, and India
Bonds 2s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. are
88k 1, and the Reduced 871 /. Bank Stock is
2071 to 2081. _ _

The Foreign Stock Market, though quiet, pre-
sents a steady appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents.
have further advanced fully 1 per cent. After
having been 80, 80k, to 80k, they are now 81g.
The New Scrip has not moved in the same direc-
tion, being 3k and 3 dis. Spanish 3 per Cents. are
38i to 382-, the New Deferred 20, the Passive 61,
and the Certificates 4i. Peruvian Active Bonds
are firm at 75k. Equador are 4/, and Mexican 3
per Cents. 75k.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 71 ;
Mexican, 191 to -a ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 53 to 55; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ;
, ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, 19i to 20i ; ditto Three per Cents.,
38 to ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 4a ; ditto Pas-
sive, 6 to 6k.

There have been rather limited transactions in
Railway Shares, but they have generally main-
tained previous rates. The Foreign and Colonial
lines are particularly dull.
Mining Shares are without alteration. Banking
Shares continuo in favour, and Canada Land are
firmer.
