MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoca.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a hardening tendency ; prices of Americans
were fully Id. per lb., and Surats 1-16 d. per lb.
dearer than last week. The sales were 12,000
bales, 1,000 export and 500 on speculation, com-
prising 370 Pernam and Maranham 51d. to 71d.,
2,300 Bahia sid. to 6d., 450 Egyptian sid. to 9d.,
and 2,000 Surats 41. to 41d. per lb. In the Rail-
way Share Market little business was transacted,
still prices were not only well supported but a
degree higher.

The latest intelligence from Vienna relative to
the new Credit Bank gives the following. The
society of Austrian nobles, who were to furnish a
moiety of the sum required to establish the new
Lank, had not again met, which had created some
surprise. It appears that when the committee
formed to represent them had engaged to subscribe
the required sum of 30,000,000 florins, they asked
for greater privileges than were to be granted to
the other large proprietors. Some arrangement,
however, must have been come to privately, for
the Minister of Finance announced, on Saturday,
the 3d inst., that the Emperor had ratified the
concession of establishing the bank to the Princes
Schwarzenberg, Auersberg, Furstenberg, Count
Choteck, Louis Haber, and the firm of Roths-
child ; the capital to be 1,000,000 florins.
Recent accounts from Breslau state that large

quantities of wheat were arriving there from Hun-
gary, to be deposited in the local depots ; and in
consequence a considerable fall in prices was ex-
pected throughout the Silesian grain markets.
The last fishing boat of the season has arrived at
Ostend. The imports of stock fish into Belgium
have risen this year to 6,438 tons from the Dogger-
bank, and 8,781 tons from Feroe.
On the Paris Bourse yesterday, previous quota-
tions declined from 10 to 25 centimes, and Rail-
way Shares fell with some degree of rapidity, ex-
cepting those of the North Midland and Grand
Central, which rose 2f. 50c. Otherwise the Money
Market was tolerably easy, and the rumour of
negotiations for peace, which was industriously
circulated by spectators, gave some firmness to
ruling prices. Shares of the Credit Mobilier and
the Austrian Railway Association were particu-
larly affected with a downward tendency. Nothing
of importance had taken place during the day in
the grain and flour markets ; the supply was equal
to the demand, and the bakers and millers were
not inclined to lay In stocks.
The Bankers' Magazine for the present month
contains a very interesting article upon " Austrian
Financial Progress." As the banking and other
operations at Vienna recently have attracted con-
siderable attention, and have had so much influence
upon monetary affairs both here and in France, the
information afforded is very acceptable. The
monetary crisis of 1855, and various other subjects,
are also fully remarked upon.
The settlement of the account for English Stocks
being fixed for the Bth inst., a contraction of busi-
ness is observable, and quotations of the Funds
are now narrowly watched by brokers and others.
This morning there has been some flatness, but
the decline is scarcely noticeable, Consols being
881 to 88i for money, and 881 to 88a for ac-
count. After the account is adjusted, the market
will no doubt assume a firmer aspect, as the
Money Market is daily becoming easier, and there
are no longer any unfavourable rumours in refer-
ence to the United States. The New Three per
Cents. are in request, and have brought 881 to
881, and the Reduced are 871 to 871. Exchequer
Bills remain at Bs. to 4s. discount.
Foreign Securities are very dull, and in several
cases nominal. Grenada Active Bonds are steady
at 19i to 20. Sardinian Bonds are 85, being
firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 2, which is
*to + per cent. lower than yesterday. French
Threes are 65, with the exchange at 25 25. Dutch
Bonds are at 63/- for the 2} per Cents., and at 92
and 92i for the 4 per Cents.
The Spanish American Bondholders, at their
meeting yesterday, passed a series of resolutions
expressing their disappointment at the non-fulfil-
ment of the terms entered into by the Government
of New Grenada for liquidating its foreign debt,
requesting the committee to urge their claim on
that Government, and thanking the Earl of Claren-
don for his attention to their i nterests.

Tho following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks ; Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 7 ;
Mexican, 191 to ; Peruvian, 74 to 75 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 53 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 93;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, 19k to ; ditto Three per Cents.,
37i to 8 ; ditto Certificates, 4} to ; ditto Pas-
sive, 5} to I.
In RAilway Shares there is no particular feature,
yesterday's prices being generally current. Great
Northern A Stock is 1/. better, and North-Eastern
Berwick are somewhat lower. The French
undertakings are neglected. Great Western of
Canada rule steady.
Mines and Banks are firm, and also the miscel-
laneous shares.
