01TY, Two o'CLooK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very firmly at extreme prices for all kinds except
New Boweds, from 51d. to 6d. per lb., which were
rather easier, being freely offered. The sales were
from 9,000 to 10,000 bales, 2,000 on speculation,
and 500 for export, comprising in addition to
Americans, 1,100 Egyptian, at 51d. to 9d. ; 2,000
Surat, at 31d. to 4id., and 80 Sea Islands, at 10d.
to Is. sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
steady, closing with a firm feeling.
In Colonial produce this week there has been an
absence of speculation, and the demand for im-
mediate use has considerably diminished. Scarcely
any sugar has been offered publicly, and the quo-
tations therefore are merely nominal in the ex-
pectation of a further decline. Coffee also has
ruled dull. Full prices have been obtained in some
cases, but Native Ceylon is ls. to 2s. lower. The
public sales of tea went heavily at previous rates.
For rice there has been very little inquiry, but no
alteration in prices has occurred. RUM has ruled
steady, and saltpetre inactive. Spices have in F:
most cases declined, but mace is an exception, hav-
ing risen ld. per lb. Arrowroot has remained at
last week's rate, and tallow has been rather flue- E
tuating.
The aspect of the Paris Bourse was very ani- g
mated during the whole of yesterday. Both in the 1
Stock and Share Markets there was much business
doing, and all had an upward tendency. At the s
close the French Rentes showed an advance in the ?.-!
3 per Cents. of 20c. for the account, and 30c. for si
money, which raised them above 66 francs, si
while the 4i per Cent. Stock was elevated si
25 centimes, both for money and account. Si
These prices were assisted by the favourable news u
from the English Stock Market, telegraphed during sc
the day. A rumour was circulated that the Bank if
of France intended adopting some modification of It
their measures at the weekly meeting, but this 3
passed over without anything particular taking n
place. Some important transactions in shares of St,
the Credit Mobilier were entered into, which 2t6-
added a further improvement in that company's
stock of 12f. 50c., making a total rise in the week 12
of 45 francs. It is said that this company have 116'ot•
concluded a purchase of the line of railway from
Saint Rambert to Grenoble. Shares of the Lyons, a 5
Mediterranean, Geneva, and Midland have been st
in demand at an advance. Other shares have not 25
been much noticed. 4/2:

The latest accounts from the Vienna Bourse St.
affirm that the state of affairs there is anything but
satisfactory. The public funds continue to decline, g
and all other stocks display great feebleness. The IGO
5 per Cents. for money fell g, the 41. per Cents.
Bank Shares 2 florins, North Austrian Stock 'to
National Loan g, and Austrian Railways lifl.
Exchange on London is lowered to 10 58, and on
Paris to 130.
Accounts from Copenhagen state that the con-
ference of delegates from the nations interested in
the Sound dues took place there on the 20th inst.,
when all were present excepting the United States
delegate, whose presence was excused by the Ame-
rican Minister on the plea that they had a special
treaty with the Danish Government on the subject,
which could not be affected by the result of the confe-
rence. The average amount of revenue derivedfrom
this toll by Denmark, taken from the years 1851,
1853,inclusive,was stated to amount to 7,993,300 fr.,
which would give a capitalisation of (in round
numbers) 160 millions, in proportions as follows :
Russia 47, England 46, Prussia 20, France 6, Low
Countries si, North America 34, Norway 2 mil-
lions of francs, &c., while at present England paid
about si, Prussia 34, Norway 2 4-sths of thb re-
venue, and Russia only 1,219,800 fra,ncs.
A meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of
Upper Canada was: held yesterday, at which the
usual half-yearly report was read. The amount to
the credit of the revenue account was 8,4301. 18s.
Bd., which included 8,2781. 19s. 7d., the net profits
for the half-year, and a dividend of 7 per cent. per
annum was declared. The directors recommended
that the reserve fund should be increased to 7,9631.
4s. 6d. The prospects of the company were stated
to be encouraging, and the report unanimously
adopted.
The English Stock Market opened with a further
upward tendency, Consols being 89a ft for money
and account, but owing to the realisation of pro
fits they have since declined to 891 for the former
and 894 for the latter. For January the prices
have been 891 to 90, being now 89a Z. The Un-
funded Debt is steady at 7s. to 3s. dis., and India
Bonds are Cs. to 2s. discount. Bank Stock is flat,
viz., 209, and India Stock is quoted 226. The New
3 per Cents. are 884 to 891, and the Reduced, 884
to The amount of business doing is small,
owing to the necessary arrangements in the Share
Market, this being account day.
The foreign market has improved for most secu-
rities, and Turkish 6 per cents. are fully 1 per
cent. higher, having been 82/ to 83. New Scrip is
31 discount. Spanish 3 per cents. are firm at
391, the New Deferred at 20i, and the Passive at
6t. Venezulan Bonds are quoted at 26. Dutch
per Cents. are 63. to 631, and Cuba 7 per Cents.
99. Peruvian 44 per Cents. are 74k, and French 3
per Cents. 66 francs 75 cents., with the exchange
at 25 20.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 7 ;
Mexican, 19i to 19/ ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto
Three per Cents., 51 to 53; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 41 to 46 ; Russian Five per Cents., 96 to 98 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 86 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, 20;1- to 20i; ditto Three per Cents.,
39i to 391 ; ditto Certificates, 44 to 4i ; ditto Pas-
sive, 61 to 6-i.
Railway Shares are generally at enhanced quo-
tations, but the dealers are principally occupied
with the closing of the account. South Western
are about 11., and North Western 153. higher.
Eastern Counties have declined to 81 and 81, owing
to the report of the Committee of Investigation
being of an unsatisfactory character. Foreign
lines are generally at previous rates, but Great
Western of Canada have advanced.

• - Mining and Banking Shares rule steady, but
Canada Land Shares have again risen about 8/.
