MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed heavily, and compared with Friday's rates,
prices of all kinds were tending downwards, but
the decline is barely Id. per lb. The sales were
estimated at between 2,000 and 3,000 bales, and
consisted of 120 Sea Islands at Is. to 2s. sd. per lb.
The Railway Share Market was tolerably firm, and
business more lively.

The sum which foreign shipping contributed to-
Wards our light and pilotage dues was, in 1853,
44,4781., and in 1854, 52,7911.
The proportionate trade of the various ports of
England is not generally known, and the compari-
son is in some respects curious. If tonnage were
to decide the question London would stand above
Liverpool, but when exports are brought under
notice the latter stands almost doubly as high as
the former. The tonnage inwards, and the declared
',Cue of British and Irish exports in 1854, was as
follows :

Tonnage. Exports. ,
London
Liverpool 2,190;.404 ... 46,719,177
Hull
13ristol
Newcastle
Southampton 262,276 ... 2,334,141
Leith
Glasgow 125,482 ... 4,905,557
Greenock
Dublin
Cork
Belfast
The extraordinary amount in favour of Liverpool
lust arise mainly from its proximity to the textile
buzufacturing districts, and the great trade with
the United States.

Accounts from Russia state that one of the Im-
perial transports, the Wolga, on the 27th May,
When on a voyage from Sweaborg between the
islands of Kuorsalo and Stamoe, took the ground,
and in spite of the strenuous exertions of the
heel-Tier Nadjoschinij, on the 30th ult., she could
11°t be floated. A portion of the stores were trans-
ferred to the steamer, however, and the cannon
Were thrown overboard. As an English gun-
tboat then made her appearance and prepared
iti
attack, the transport was set on fire and shortly
afterwards blew up.
The private bankers are excessively annoyed at
the
;l disgraceful revelations in the bankruptcy of
e "are. Strahan, and the frauds committed
cite both their indignation and regret.
alVily such cases are rare, but to prove
to
their customers how entirely they desire
11reserved intercourse and investigation, they held
att
meeting yesterday afternoon at the Clearing-
-2,."5e and passed a resolution to the effect that the
es was wrong in asserting that a banker would
feel offended if his customer asked to look at his
,securities. On the contrary, as the resolution de-
eia'ree, they consider such examination " a most
voi.Ver and business-like proceeding." This is a
2rotoon-sense view, for even as a check upon the
numerous clerks occasional reference is desirable.
