cloned heavily, as cempared wiiii last Friday's
rates. Prices of all kinds lean to the buyer, though
there is no actual change. The sales were estimated
. , at 5,000 bales (1,000 of which were taken on spe-
culation), comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham
at 647 d. to 7Ad., 200 Egyptian at 62d. to 70., and
. .'' 300 Surat at 41d. to sad. per ib ; 70 Sea Islands
V. at is. 04cl. to is. 9d. The Railway Share Market
Was dull, at lower rates.
In Mark-lane today business has been dull, and
-,• very little alteration has taken place in prices.
Accounts from Copenhagen state that all the
.Democratic Deputies in Denmark had been re-
. elected without opposition.
At Hamburgh last week the produce markets
Were steady, the chief articles being maintained by
orders received from other parts of Germany, and
1 Russia also, we may presume.
The New York advices by the steamer America
, . give the shipments of specie during -the week end-
k leg June 2, at 2,189,567 dollars, making the total
:' this year 13,702,256 dollars, which is 2,684,572
dollars more than in 1854 to the same period. A
'. larger increase than this was generally anticipated
by parties on the other side, but it is considered
~ rather singular that with a decrease of nearly
thirty-five millions of dollars in the value of im-
Ports into New York alone in the first five
I'
months of this year there should not have
been a falling off in the exportations of specie.
During the week to June 1 the value of the ship-
teents exceeded the receipts of merchandise by
. , 631,891 dollars. Money continued abundant,
but as the warm weather would soon cona-
tlence, it was expected that the activity in
the Stock Market would subside as the
Principal operators would retire for a while
into the, country. The movement in the banks
l'as very uniform, the receipts of gold dust from
California supplying the requirements of export.,
The discounts, also, during the last week to which
44 - official statement had been completed, only
showed an increase of 37,135 dollars.
The general creditors of Messrs. Strahan, it ap-
ps, are not likely to submit to such dictation in
c choice of assignees as will expose their interests
to compromise, and accordingly have resolved to
il
old a meeting among themselves for the purpose
t()! concerting preliminary measures. In the mean
~,,141e, the solicitors ior the bankrupts are inviting
'l Parties to send in the amount of their claims,
Prior to the first attendance before the commis-
ili°ner.
The English Stock Market has been very flat,
all 4 the decline is about i per cent. This is pro-

i l'!talnient upon the loan. It is understood that

desiring to obtain the stock, leaving 825,0001. to
