MONEY MARKET

AN D

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two 0' CL 0C K.

The Liverpool cotton market, on Saturday,
closed heavily, without change in prices from the
current rates of Friday. The sales were 6,000
bales ; comprising 4,700 Americans (500 of which
were purchased for export), 80 Pernam and Marau-
ham, at 6id. to 6id. ; 20 Bahia, at sga. ; 200
Egyptian, at 50. to 7ild. ; and 1,000 Surat (500
for export), at ald. to 4gd. per lb. The Railway
Share Market continued to improve, and prices
of the leading stocks were fully per cent. above
the quotations of Friday.
Upon the subject of the Manchester trade during
the past month, Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhowe, and
Irving. report as follows :
"Notwithstanding the existence of large orders at the
close of the preceding month, and a demand actually in
operation at the beginning of the present one, only in-
terrupted by the fall of Sebastopol, which induced many
spinners and manufacturers to ask much higher and im-
practicable values, the claims of the producers were not
realised, as may be imagined, from the first action of
the Bank of England, and its successive operations
necessarily creating a strong influence upon the value of
cotton, which may be considered id. to gd. per lb. lower
than it was at the beginning of the month, and as a
consequence also influencing the productions of this dis-
trict in regard to values. The advanced price of money,
which had generally been calculated upon, has so far
been productive alone of limited operations, and a
wholesome caution in the way of inducing operators to
confine them more strictly to prudent limitations. This
having been the custom here for some time past—say
during the last two years—no apprehension whatever is
being entertained as to a panic. The trade of the
country was never supposed to be in a more healthful
position, so far as regards its basis, no speculative ope-
rations having been entered into. It is, however, true
that many of the producing districts, and more particu-
larly this locality, are not, so far as the producers are
concerned, very remunerative."
The New York advices are favourable with re-
spect to trade, and the large orders received out
for grain were likely to bring back liberal com-
mission for the purchase of manufactures. As
usual, the Greek houses are first in the field.
The letters and papers by the Overland Mail,
via Marseilles, were delived to-day. The informa-
tion furnished is unfavourable with regard to
mercantile affairs. Money at Calcutta was tight,
and trade dull. The subject of making gold and
silver a legal tender was being mooted, which, if
effected, would afford great relief to the money mar-
ket: The arrivals from Europe were large ; and it is
necessary for shippers hence to exercise increased
caution, as tie demand for manufactures was lan-
guid and without any immediate prospect of im-
provement. At Bombay the prices of textile fabrics
Were nominal, though for cotton yarn there was
a steady inquiry. From Calcutta we learn that,
notwithstanding the heavy rains that had fallen,
the indigo season was expected to be an average one.
Money at Bombay, during the last fortnight, had
ruled somewhat easier, and lower rates were
charged. The import market here also was dull.
On account of the absence of rain fears were enter-
tained that the grain harvest would be deficient.
In some of the Upper Scinde districts the inunda-
tions had done injury to cultivation, especially in
Nowshera.

The English Stock Market presents a very list-
less appearance in the absence of speculative deal-
ings, although the more favourable foreign news,
the satisfactory Revenue Returns, and the improve-
ment on the Paris Bourse might have been ex-
pected to have promoted an upward tendency in
values. On the contrary, however, the market
since the commencement of business is considered to
have become flatter. The account is Bearish.
Consols for money have ruled all this morning at
88g to g, and are down since to 88/ g. The New
2 per Cent. Annuities are quoted 74. India Stock
is worth 229. Exchequer Bills are 3s. discount
to Is. premium. Consols for the 12th inst. have
been dealt in at 88i , and are now 881.

The chief interest of the Foreign Market is the
variation in Turkish Bonds. They opened well,
but have receded about per cent. since, being 861
87, and now 86k if. The Scrip is 11 to 11 discount.
It opened at 1 to 13 discount. Peruvian 4i per
Cents. have been 75k, and Deferred at 561. Brazi-
lian Stock has been at par. Sardinian Bonds are
83k. Spanish steady, at 19k. French 3 per Cent.
Scrip has risen 1, being 18 to 11 pm.
, The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20; Mexi-
can, 21g to 21i; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per

Railway Shares are very quiet, and without any
change of importance in the quotations, although
at the present moment they are generally heavy,
more from the paucity of dealers, however, than
from any other cause. Paris and Lyons are firmer,
and also Antwerp and Rotterdam. Great Western
of Canada are steady.
Mines and Banks are firm. Canada Land are
at Saturday's prices.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 29.—SAILING} OF TRIC CANADA.—
The British and North American royal mail steam-ship
Canada, Captain Judkins, sailed from Liverpool for
Boston at a quarter past one o'clock. this afternoon, with
180 passengers, among whom R ere the Hon. Mr. Elincks
and Elihu Burritt. The Catada had also the usual
mails on board, and full cargo.
The Queen has appointed the Rev. B. Jowett
.Regius
Professor of Greek for the University of Oxford, insuc.
cession to the late Dr. Gaisford, Dean of Christ Church
Between four and five o'clock yesterday morning
a fire
broke out in the extensive pile of premises of Mr. J.
Wischhusen, skin-dresser, in Lamb-alley, Sun-street,
Bishopsgate. The premises contained a great amount of
stock ; in fact, the workshops, sheds, and drying-rooms
were well filled. The fire commenced in the building,
nearly 100 feet long by 50 wide. Police-constable John
Crawley, of the City police, first discovered it, raised an
immediate alarm, and aroused the family of Mr. Wisch-
busen just as the dwelling-house caught fire. In the
course of a few minutes the two powerful engines from
Whitecross-street arrived, under the command of Engi-
neer Baylis, and several others, under the superinten-
dence of Mr. Fogo, with the Royal Society fire-escapes.
A good supply of water being obtained the engines got
to work in an admirable manner ; but by that time the
flames were rising high in the air, illuminating the whole
of the eastern portion of the metropolis, and bringing
out in bold relief the steeples of the churches in the
neighbourhood. In spite of the copious streams of water
thrown on the burning pile the fire continued, and it
was some hours before it was subdued. A strong body
of City police, under the direction of Messrs. Howard
and Brennan, of the G division, rendered essential ser-
vice in assisting the firemen. As to the cause of the fire
nothing could be ascertained. The loss will fall on the
I:fetid:in-Amid and Elao3lliX Fire °Mom
