MONEY MARKET

AND

commg RCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CnocK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday
close d firmly, at Friday's rates. The sales were
estnnated at 10,000 bales (3,000 of which were
taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export). The
Railway Share Market closed. heavily, and prices
were considerably lower.
In Mark Lane to-day there is no alteration.
The ad
vices by the Africa, from New York, re-
port rather more activity in the demand for money,
Showed an increase in the discounts of 991,288
!nark The specie was augmented 26,597 dollars,
".ut large receipts were expected from California.
a.. large
receipts
was doing in foreign fabrics, and
linports being moderate prices were supported.
The letters from Australia by the ship Lightning
are to the 10th April, the voyage having been per-
formed in 80 days from Port Philip. The accounts
respec&:__
,iug the markets are decidedly better, but
the writers of the Melbourne price currents dis-
tinctly
Warn shippers on this head not to be mis-
led, inasmuch as the demand was due entirely to
the necessity of getting supplies up to the diggings
:while the roads were practicable, and would fall off
114nlediately afterwards, not to be resumed for two
or three months. The vexed question about the
gold diggers' licences seems likely to receive a
Pacific solution, as the Commissioners recommended
the abolition of the licence fee, and an imposition
of. an export tax, a measure advocated months
since.

The ship Seringapatam, from Melbourne, does
not bring later dates than March 18. She has on
board 15,865 ounces of gold and 234 bales of wool,
besides what the passengers bring.
The Gipsy Bride, arrived at Liverpool from Mel-
bourne, has accounts of April 11, and 40,000 ounces
of gold on freight.
Adviees from the Crimea state that enormous
supplies of provisions, ammunition, &c., were being
forwarded from Perekop to Simpheropol, and that
tile
tearrmy in Sebastopol was provided for the
win.
hscaTreheelySatnoeyk Market is flat this morning, with
business doing. Several circumstances
andcombined to induce caution. The death of
h:rci Raglan, and the small knowledge the public
ei-ve of the character of his successor, are naturally
iitutnstanees to check dealing, and then we are
the eje of the French loan, and notwithstand-
scil e large arrivals of bullion this morning, gold to
Seci„alis.,ent /nay be temporarily withdrawn from us.
"e' 'ne eZeeSsive supply here, we should not ac-
unt this an evil. The Revenue Return has not made
finuch hupression. On the whole, it is probably as
avourable as could be expected, but it establishes
Moreu
ex-
penditure than ever the fact of our ex-
fully absorbing both the increased tax-
ation and the loan, rendering more borrowing in-
evitable. Consols have been 91 to kat the corn-
rueneement of business, but are since 90'4 to 91.
