MONEY MARKET SHARE MARKETS.
(THIS DAY.)

AN;

COMMERCIAL- INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steady, without change in prices. The sales were
6,000 bales (1,000 for export and 500 on specula-
tion), comprising, in addition to American, 150
Egyptian, Sid. to 6d. ; 800 Surat, 3kd. to 4id. ;
and 50 Sea Islands, 10d. to 12id. per lb. The
Railway Share Market was steady, at an advance
on Monday's rates.

Advices from France contain an interesting
statement of the Director-General of Customs,
concerning the manufacture of sugar from beet-root
throughout the realm, with a view to its increased
production in consequence of the recent large pur-
chases on English account, as well as Belgian
and Dutch. The usual stock on hand is
about eight million kilogrammes, which is at
present reduced to 3,916,325 kilog., although the
manufacture of sugar this year is greater by one
million kilog., the total amounting to 11,569,999
kilog. The number of factories in operation has
increased recently from 197 to 254, and those not
in work are reduced from 73 to 17, so that there
is every likelihood of the stock on hand soon reach-
ing its ordinary level, by the increased production
of 59 factories, which were last season at a stand
still, and one newly built.
Telegraphic accounts from Marseilles inform us
that ships laden with grain from the East continue
to arrive in that harbour, and large quantities are
landed.

The difficulty of transporting flour in good con-
dition in bags for the use of the French army and
navy at the seat of war has induced the Minister
of Marine to adopt the American plan of packing
it in casks, with some improvement by means of
hydraulic pressure.

The Chamber of Commerce at Paris have elected

a president for the ensuing year in place of M.
Legentil, who retires by rotation. Their choice
has been fixed on M. Germain Thibaut as presi-
dent, and M. Ledagre as vice-president.
The intelligence from Australia in reference to
the gold production is satisfactory, the yield at
most of the diggings continuing as large as hitherto.
The subject of quartz crushing was occupying con-
siderable attention, and the views of the Com-
mission appointed to inquire into the ma-
nagement of the gold fields upon the matter
had excited discussion. At Mr. Blackwood's
the returns derived from the employment of good
machinery exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions, and as the escorts were bringing down larger
quantities trade was expected to improve. Busi-
ness in Melbourne was very languid.
From South Australia the accounts represent the
demand for all kinds of merchandise as being
limited. The growing crops promised an abun-
dant yield. Owing to the decline at Sydney and
Melbourne in the price of flour holders were in-
clined to press sales.
The official returns relating to the Trade and
Navigation of the United Kingdom for the month
ending October 21, in comparison with that of the
two previous years, to November 5, have been
published to-day. The declared value of all
the exports this year is 8,860,5941., which is
an increase over the previous year of
2,384,4391. This is a more satisfactory feature
than has been presented in the returns published
for a long time past. All descriptions of manufac-
tures were shipped to a larger extent than in the
corresponding period of last year, and the imports
were larger of cocoa, wheat, oats, Indian corn,
flour, raw cotton, indigo, and flax. Spices
generally increased, and also rum, brandy, and
Geneva sugar showed a falling off. Tea was im-
ported to a much greater extent ; but of wine a
diminished quantity was received. The tonnage
of vessels employed in the foreign trade with the
'United Kingdom was larger, both as regards the
entries and clearances. An increased amount was
also engaged in our coasting trade.
The English Stock Market is exceedingly bony-
ant to-day, and an advance of to per. Cent.
has taken place. This is chiefly produced by the
closing of speculative accounts, as the settiement
is fixed for Friday next, but the gold arrivals,
the accounts from Australia respecting the
supplies and other circumstances are fa-
vourably influencing the market. Consols
Opened at 88/ to 89 for money, but have since
risen to 89k. For account the quotations are 89k,
and for January 891, The public are taking
large amounts for investment. Exchequer Bills
are 3s. discount. Bank Stock has risen to 210.

In the Foreign Market the only feature of im-
portance is the advance in Turkish 6 per Cents.,
which are 80i to 81, but the New Scrip is at 3tl
discount. Spanish Passive Bonds are 6i, and
Equador si, being firmer. Danish 3 per Cents
are quoted at 82 to 83, the 5 per Cents. 101, and
Brazilian 5 per Cents. 99.
. . .

Stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 7 ;
Mexican, 19 ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 51 to 53; Portuguese Four per Cents.,

Railway Shares have in several cases improved,
especially the Great Northern, Lancashire, and
Yorkshire, and Midland Scottish Central, how-
ever, as well as North-Western and Great Western
rule fiat. The Foreign lines are steady, and Great
Western of Canada have risen fully 1 per cent.

Mining Shares are neglected, and also Joint-
Stock Banking and Miscellaneous undertakings.
