MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
firmly, and prices of all kinds were unchanged.
The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,000 on speculation,
comprising, in addition to American, 300 Pernam
and Maranham 6d. to 7id., 400 Egyptian 51d. to
6id., and 1,000 Surats 3&d. to 411 per lb. The
Railway Share Market was quiet, at a decline of
nearly 4 per cent. on the leading stocks.
The Paris Bourse closed last week with firmness.
The prices of the French Three per Cents., as com-
pared with the preceding week, were well sup-
ported, though dealings for money on Saturday
evening were entered into at 5 centimes less than
the previous day. The animation which marked
the business of the week had begun to diminish,
yet the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock was firm
at an improvement of 25c. both for money and the
account. In the Railway and other share markets
speculators had done a good business. The receipts
from the principal lines for the week continued to
be satisfactory, and showed an increase on the cor-
responding week of 1854. Trade generally was
brisk.
The Moniteur [of Saturday states that the
Council of Administration of the Credit Foncier of
France considered it necessary that the statutes of
that establishment required some modification
since its last organisation. A commission has been
appointed by the Minister of Finance to examine
the reports which have been submitted weekly to the
Council of State, consisting of Messrs. Fourmes,
Director-General of Records and Domains, Presi-
dent ; Serveux, General Secretary of Finance ;
Vandal, Director-General of Customs ; Delefine,
Director-General of Accounts ; Chouri, Andouville,
and Chappeas, Inspector-General of Finances.
In addition to a new issue of 10-franc gold
pieces, the French mint have resolved to coin 5-
franc gold pieces, both of new designs.
The New York advices state that the stock mar-
ket there was in an unsettled state, but good divi•
Bend paying railway and other undertakings ruled
firm, and were in request. No material alteration
has occurred in the money market, and a good
supply was expected to exist during the business
season.

From California we learn that the mines were
yielding well. The crops promised abundantly,
and business prospects were improving.
The intelligence from Mexico reports that Gene-
ral Albarez had resigned, and Comonfort was to
be his successor. . .

Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope state
that, notwithstanding the tightness of the money
market, trade at Graham's Town was tolerably
steady. The scarcity of specie was, of course, se-
verely felt. Large quantities of wool continued
to arrive in the town, which were sent either in
exchange to supply immediate wants, or, other-
wise, as remittances to country dealers. The
market was well attended, and a fair business was
being transacted.

The wheat trade is rather active to-day, and
prices are 2s. higher than on Monday last. All
other articles are steady.

There is less animation in the Stock Market to-
day, and the quotations, unsupported by any im-
portant money purchases, show symptoms of weak-
ness, being to per cent. lower. Consols have
been 88i for money, and 138 a / for account. Ex-
chequer Bills are 7s. to 3s. discount, and India
Bonds 2s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. are
88i 4, and the Reduced 874 I. Bank Stock is
2074 to 2081.

The Foreign Stock Market, though quiet, pre-
sents a steady appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents.
have further advanced fully 1 per cent. After
having been 80, 804, to 80k, they are now 81k.
The New Scrip has not moved in the same direc-
tion, being 3A- and 3 dis. Spanish 3 per Cents. are
384 to 381, the New Deferred 20, the Passive 61,
and the Certificates 4i. Peruvian Active Bonds
are firm at 75N. Equador are 41, and Mexican 3
per Cents. 754.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 7i ;
Mexican, 191 to ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 53 to 55; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, 19i to 20i ; ditto Three per Cents.,
38 to 4 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 4i ; ditto Pas-
sive, 6 to 61.
There have been rather limited transactions in
Railway Shares, but they have generally main-
tained previous rates. Tho Foreign and Colonial
lines are particularly dull.
Mining Shares are without alteration. Banking
Shares continue in favour, and Canada Land are
firmer.

THE AMERICAN MAlLS.—Liverpool, Saturday.—Tile

-.mat mails for the United States and British North
American provinces, a full complement of passengers
and a cargo of valuable merchandise on freight. The
Cunard Company have announced that the weekly sailings
of their line will be resumed in January. The United
States' mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, with
the mails and advices from New York to the 31st ult.,
is expected to arrive to-morrow morning.
SURREY THEATRE.—The last new piece produced at
this theatre, namely, Love and Honour, or Soldiers at
Horne and .13eroes broad, bids fair to rival in popularity
the celebrated Surrey drama of Black Eyed Susan. The
drama has been put upon the stage with a proper recog-
nition of the place of action and its precise aspect, both
scenery and costumes evincing the carefulness that in-
variably characterises the management of Messrs. Cres-
wick and Sheppard. The interesting drama, The Plower
Girl, or the Convict Marquise, still continues highly
attractive. The " houses " during the past week have
been immense.
The fu!l Russian report of the battle of Kars is pub-
lished in the lnvalide Russe of the 9th of November.
It says that the Russians took 23 cannon, but could
only carry away four ; that they took 14 gage.
