CO3I2IIBECIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed with a heavy feeling, and although no
change can be reported in quotations buyers had
certainly an advantage. The sales were estimated
at 5,000 bales, (500 of which were for export, and
1,000 on speculation), comprising 50 Pernam and
Maranhaan at lid. ; 50 Bahia at 6:ld. ; 100 Egyp-
tian, at EO-2-d. to 10d. ; and 200 Surat, at 3ld. to
4.0. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed
with a slight improvement, although the transac-
tions were very limited.
The public sales of indigo, as we are informed by
Messrs. Layton, Hulbert, and Co., have since the
first day gone off with considerable spirit, at fully
the Opening rates for Bengal, and a slight advance
for Lcurpah. Up to last evening 2,039 chests had
Passed, of which 1,398 were sold. The colonial
*wool auctions proceed briskly.
In most raw staples there is at present an ab-
sence of speculation, although some inducement
would be held to exist in periods when there is an
inclination to operate in produce. The arrivals of
sugar lately have been moderate from all countries,
and the deliveries continue large, having amounted
last week to 4,000 tons, and thus making the total
increase for consumption and export 17,000
tons. The nett decrease in the stock of sugar
in London is estimated at 839 tons, compared with
last year at same date. Of coffee the stock of
Native Ceylon has been small. The stock of
all sorts on the 30th ult. was 163,266 cwts. against
109)863 cwts. at this time last year. Of rice the
stock in London is 7,653 tons against 18,745 tons
at the corresponding date of last year.
The following is a comparative statement of the
imports of sugar at some of the principal markets
of Europe from Jan. 1 to June 30, with the

Besides the above stock of 85,260 tons in Great
Britain there are probably 2,500 tons duty paid

11d there may be a similar quantity thus held at
Liverpool.

The Foreign Securities have been quiet, with
the exception of Turkish Bonds in which there
has been a good deal owing at further enhanced
prices, ranging from 84i to 851. At the time of
our writing there is a flatter tone, the prices being
84i to 1. As the transactions are mostly specula-
tive, there is a comparatively wide margin between
buying and selling. Russian 5 per Cents. have
brought 100 to 100.2., and the 4i per Cents.

expressed to learn whether England gua-

France the other half, or whether both countries

t division seems the plan most likely to prevent
future disagreement.
