COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily at 52d. for fair Upland, 6d. for fair Mo-
bile, and 6d. for fair Orleans. The sales were
estimated at about 8,000 bales, including 1,500 for
export and on speculation. The Railway Share
Market was steady, closing with a firm feeling.
The Bank of England return for the week ending
the 24th ultimo, presents some important changes.
The bullion has rather materially diminished, and
the increased amount of the other securities shows
the greater activity which has prevailed in the dis-
count market. The payment of the loan instal-
ments will account for the alteration exhibited in
the public deposits.

At the opening of the Paris Bourse yesterday,
there was much animation amongst buyers and
sellers in Routes for the December account, which
resulted in a rise of sc. in the 3 per Cents. and
25 centimes in the 4i Stock. In the Share Mar-
ket there was a great demand for Credit Mobilier
Stock, which caused an advance of 40 fr., realising
at the close of the day 1,335.
The monthly table showing the average prices of
Wheat throughout all France, has been published
for November, which gives within one centime the
same average prices per hectolitre current in Octo-
ber. The latter was 32f. 69c., and the former is
32f. 70c. There is, however, a great variety
of; prices in the different provinces. Those in the
Western and Midland departments have ruled high

From New York, per steamer Arago, the intel- 16
ligence does not contain any features of particular 16
importance in connection with monetary or cora-
Mercial affairs. Speculative securities were at full st.
quotations, and some of the favourite railway 225
undertakings further tended upwards. Foreign 50
dry goods were dull. During the week ending Lit:
Nov. 16, the imports were valued at $1,200,000, 10
against $571,122 in the same period of last
20
Year.

The shipments of bullion direct from London, 10
during the week ending Thursday last, comprised 10
41,330 ounces of silver, and 61,271 ounces of
gold.
The Shipping Statement, made up by Mr. Miller, rt,
of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, gives the amount st
of tonnage on the berths during the month for the r,
various ports of Australia as follows ;—Hobart 5c
Town, 1,918 tons ; New South Wales, 7,710 tons ; 3C
Melbourne and Geelong, 16,874 tons ; Adelaide, 21c'

Public Securities have ruled steady to-day, but st
the transactions have been circumscribed. The V
Bank return has had no influence, notwithstanding
itis regarded as rather unfavourable, and the market
Was maintained by money purchases. Consols,
after being 88. # and 881 1, closed at 883 to 881,
both for transfer and account. The January quo-
tation is 89# Exchequer Bills have been heavy,

Foreign Stocks have ruled steady to-day, but, 1
except in Turkish Bonds, which, after rising to
83i and 84 closed at 83#, there was very little
activity. The New Scrip is likewise firmer, being 10
3to 2.& discount. Spanish 3 per Cents. have ad- 40
vanced to 391, the New Deferred to 20# and 20#, 20
the Passive to 61 and 6#, and the Certificates to 5

Equador at 5 to si. 18

Some flatness has been observable in the Railway
Share market, resulting more from the paucity of 100
business than from any other cause. Norfolk rose
100
10s., but Great Western declined to that amount. 74
Eastern Counties continued heavy. Antwerp and 5
Rotterdam were firmer, and also Great Western of
Canada. 5
Mining and Banking Shares have ruled steady, 5
but Canada Land Shares have not attained the 20
highest prices of yesterday. Rather a large busi- 4
ness has been done in the Peninsular and Oriental 20
Steam at slightly enhanced quotations.

CHURCH RATES AT CARMARTHEN.—The anti-church
rate party have won a victory to-day. The poll has just
closed with a majority against the rate of 164.
MINES.—At this season of the year it is no uncom-
mon thing to find a degree of languor in the mining mar-
ket, for which no palpable reason can be assigned, and
compared with a few previous weeks, business since our
last has not been very extensive, or very active. Of the
few mines in demand it is difficult to find sellers, and
actual business has been more confined to low priced
and speculative shares, in which many transactions
