AIONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Market at' Liverpool yesterday
closed heavily, with a downward tendency in
?rites. The sales were estimated. at 4,000 bales,
comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham at 7d. to
'id., 70 Bahia at 7d., 200 Egyptian at el. to Td.,
500 Surat at 3d. to 411 and 50 Sea Islands at I.s.
to 2s. sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
firm and prices were well maintained.
In summing up the business transactions of the
Past fortnight, Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co.
state that there has been a good business doing in
the foreign and colonial produce markets, the im-
ports having been moderate, the deliveries from
the warehouses good for home consumption, and
the export trade in some instances in excess of that
')i last year. Importers, however, have supplied
the
,market freely. On tke Continent there is a,
fair demand.
direct telegraphic communication has been
;3tablished from London to St. Petersburg, Riga,
1-escow, Warsaw, &c., by Mr. Julius Reuter, of the
1,
Plal Exchange Buildings. Theßussian telegraphs
'l3 not work in continuation of the lines from Eng-
land, consequently agents have to be appointed
`e attend to the duty of re-transmission.
None bat commercial messages are allowed
t° be received at the Russian cities. Mr.
neuter has likewise arranged. to send messages
t
° Varna, whence they are re-transmitted by agents
Per steamer to Constantinople, Balaklava, &c., so
that,... communications may be made to these places
"'thin two or three days.

elate that gun-boats and floating batteries were
constantly passing through the Great Belt to join
