COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK, I
The sales of cotton in the Liverpool Cotton Mar- St
ket on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of 12.
which 500 were taken for export. The sales include 50
200 Pernam and Maranham, 61d. to 61d. ; 200 13i
Egyptian, 50. to 7id. ; and 700 Surat, 34d. to lj
41d. The market closed tamely but steadily, and,
compared with Friday's range, prices of all kinds 7,7?
were unchanged. There was little alteration to 22
note in the Railway Share Market. 25
The New York accounts state that a panic had st.
prevailed in the Stock Market. The market fcr St.
foreign productions was quiet and rather depressed, 43
with some inclination on the part of holders to 50
press sales. Flour had been firmer, and common 20
E
and medium grades of State were rather dearer. 100
All kinds of breadstuffs likewise tended upwards. 10

The return of the City Banks for the week ending
November 3, as compared with the previous state- 25
went, showed a diminution in the specie of 57,223 'LS.
dollars, and the discounts were lessened 847,283 20'
dollars. St.

There are later advices by way of New York 21.
from Mexico, which mention that various altera- 25
tions have been made by the Government, which St.
St%
were principally of a local character. All public 10
money had been ordered to be at the disposal of St.
the Treasury Department alone, except 25 per 150)
cent. destined for the English and Diplomatic Con- 20
ventions. The decree of Santa Anna limiting the at
introduction of books to the ports of Vera Cruz 4.
is abolished. The cultivation of tobacco has st•
been declared free at Tobasco. The tonnage duties gtt:
have been reduced in the ports there, and the ex- St.
port duty has been taken off dye wood. Cocoa had 4t.
been relieved from the Alcabala duty. 12
On the Paris Bourse, at the close of the week, an

unusual degr, eof indifference was manifested, both 16'
by speculators and capitalists. It was observed St.
that buyers and sellers hesitated to risk a decided I ,2
movement either one way or the other. The French ili
3 per Cents. were quoted at a fall of 10 centimes 3tt•
for the December account, and the 4-i Stock receded 20
as much as 50 centimes for the same term, while 10
the former for the current month were without 12'
change, and the latter not quoted. lii Railway 50
Shares there were few transactions, but these 4°
maintained former prices. Bank of France Shares z 25
were sold at 10 francs less. Credit Mobilier were St•
feebly maintained, at an improvement of 5 francs, ,;25? .-).
and the New Loan had an upward tendency. 10
The conditions of the new tariff on all articles of -4t. .:It.
consumption subject to the octroi duties in Paris, 50
have just been issued by the Government. In all 10015
the principal articles which may be classed under 2.!
the head of luxuries, there is an augmentation 5t
compared with former rates; while articles of food 20
and fuel remain unaltered. The duties on wines l'
enttring the barriers" is advanced about 20 per 45°t
cent., and the charge on a measure of spirits which 16
was formerly 73 francs 50 centimes is to be 89 .g
francs 50 centimes. Also in vinegar, oil, and g
other descriptions of oilmen's wares there is a sen- St.
Bible augmentation, especially in wax candles. The 25
5
duties on coal, charcoal, and other kinds of fuel 50
are not increased, nor in materials for building. gtt.•
Barley is raised from 94e. to lfr. 60c. ; oats to to
M. instead of 25c. per hectolitre.
The corn trade is dull and wheat is rather cheaper

to-day.
The market for English Stocks presents a dull
appearance in the absence of speculative dealing,
and the quotations are to I per cent. lower than
on Saturday. The sentence of two years' imprison-
ment passed on Joseph Wagner, for enlisting in
the United States, is considered severe, but it has
not had much effect upon the funds. Consols for
money have been 871 and 87i f, while for ac-
account the prices have ruled at 87/ all the
morning. Bank Stock is steady at 209. Exche-
quer Bills are marked 7s. discount.

Most of the Foreign Securities are rather weaker,
with a moderate amount of business doing. The
Turkish 6 per Cents. are fully ± per cent. lower,
namely, 791 to 79k, and the New Scrip remains at
44 to 4 discount. Dutch 2i per Cents. are rather
firmer, being 63 to 63i. Spanish New Deferred
are fiat at 19k, Mexican at 191, and Peruvian 3
per Cents. at 514. Sardinian 5 per Cents. are
quoted at 851, Guatemala 23, and Danish 3 per
Cents. 81.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 7 ;
Mexican, 19!. ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 96 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, 19i ; ditto Three per Cents., 381. ;
ditto Certificates, 4i to 4i ; ditto Passive, 51 to 61.
English Railway Shares are generally heavy, but
transactions to a fair exent have been entered
into. The lines principally dealt in are North-
Western, Great Western, North-Eastern, Berwick
and Caledonian. Foreign and Colonial lines are
dull.

Banking, as well as Mining Shares have been in
very limited request. Canada Land Shares are
quoted as low as 129 to 131.
Crystal Palace Shares are steady at 2.
