The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed
with heavy buying, and prices of American and
Surat were id. per lb. dearer than on Friday. The
sales were estimated at 15,000 bales (2,000 of which
were taken for export and 4,000 on speculation),
comprising 500 Pernam and Maranham at 6kd. to
Bd., 200 Bahia at 62d., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 74d.,
and 2,000 Surat at 3d. to 5/d. per lb. The Rail-
way Share Market was steady, and prices a shade
easier than on Saturday.

The Overland letters, Calcutta dates to July 4,
are expected to be in town to-morrow.
The steamer Avon has arrived with the Bra-
zilian mail.

Accounts from Japan state that the Russian
Admiral, commanding the Diana,.had attempted to
make his escape in an American merchant ship,
but two French men-of-war appeared off the Bay,
and he had to re-embark.

The letters of allotment for the French loan have
been delivered by Messrs. Baring's who have re-
turned 84 per cent. of the deposits. This will in-
crease the temporary supply of floating cash.
