MONEY MARKET

AND

COHMERr.7IAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed firmly, and prices of all kinds were quite as
dear as last week. The sales were estimated at
8,000 bales (500 of which were taken for export,
and 1,500 on speculation), comprising 120 Pernam
and Maranham at bad. to 7d. ; 50 Bahia at 62d. ;
150 Egyptian, at 6d. to 7d. ; and 1,590 Surat, at
4d. to 41d. per lb. The Railway Share Market
Was steady, and closed at an advance on Tuesday's
rates.

There are circumstances of a political character
that often affect the monetary position of different
.countries, and Austria seems about to suffer from
her duplicity towards the Allies. A powerful as-
sociation of capitalists had been formed here and at
Paris to tender for the concession of certain lines of
railway in Austria, but this has now been dissolved
021 the ground of the inadequate terms offered by the
Government at Vienna. There can be no doubt,
however, that the double-dealing with the English
and French Cabinets has had ()Teat weight, since
it is impossible to believe that even if capitalists
had taken the contract, subscribers to any extent
would have come forward while Austria stood in an
equivocal, if not hostile position, ready at any.
Moment to break off entirely from her engage-
rnents, and perhaps finally to side with Russia.
The certain issue will be that the Vienna Go-
vernment must wait more auspicious times,
When she is prepared to behave loyally, before she
hope
can benlist the co-operation of British
capitalists in carrying out bet public works.
The Danish Government has replied to the re-
monstrances of the United States about the
Sound dues, that it would have been more appro-
priate had such remonstrances been preceded by
3egotiations and that, with its heavy expenditure,
it certainly at present was not in a position to re-
mit the impost.
1 The applications for allotments of the French
i°,llll are undearstood to be tolerable, although the
AY per cent. deposit, coupled with the great uncer-
tainty whether any allotment will be obtained, is
a bar to many who have other opportunities of
employing their means. In France the subscrip-
tions will of course be large, but much curiosity is
expressed to ascertain if, in the aggregate,
the
will equal those of the last loan. In
bEle London Stock Exchange, as well as in the dis-
°Mint market, money is very easy, and there is
evidently a speculative disposition where the pros-
pect of benefit presents itself. In several foreign
cities the value of cash very closely assimilates to
h 2. range here. The Hon. East India Company
twelve
the requisite notice to enable it this time
"kre months to reduce the interest upon its bonds.
Ait the meeting of the London Joint-stock Bank,
heldthis day, a dividend at the rate of 124 per
cent. per annum was declared.
114 the extraordinary meeting of the Newport,
er2gavenny, &c.,lßailway Company, this day, a
reference
for raising a further sum of 200,0001. on
w ''erence shares, to complete the undertaking,
I*.l agreed to.
The Stock Market is flatter on account of a few
sales) the inducement to part with Consols being
greaterc now one or two foreign loans offer a
chance of more immediate profit. The weather is
propitious for the crops, but there is, neverthe-
sa, always an apprehension when rain falls of the
quantity being in excess. As to the debate on Mr.
Chide motion the dealers have quite con-
elided that Ministers will have a good majority.
