COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'CLoca:

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very firmly, and prices of American were id. per
lb., and Surat and Egyptian were id. per lb.,
dearer than last week. The other descriptions
were unchanged. The sales were 8,000 bales,
1,000 on speculation, comprising 319 Pernam and
Maranham, sgd. to 61d. ; 200 Bahia, 5i I. to 6d. ;
400 Egyptian, 51d. to 71d. ; and 1,000 Surat, nd.
to 4d. per lb. Imports for the week 25,000 bales.
Yesterday was a holiday in the Railway Share
Market.

There has been a firm market this week for co-
lonial produce, and full rates have been obtained.
British Plantation sugar has been in active request,
and has risen as much as 3s. 6d. per cwt. as com-
pared with last Friday's rates. Most kinds of
foreign have realised high prices, and Bengal and
Mauritius sorts are 2s. to 2s. 6d. dearer. Refined
brown lumps have found buyers at 625. to 635. per
cwt. ; but many of the sellers asked 655. Both
for Plantation and Native Ceylon coffee there has
been a fair inquiry, at previous currencies. Rice
has ruled firm but dull, and has gone freely at 3s.
to 4s. per cwt. advance. The public sales of tea
passed off very quietly. Saltpetre has been taken
freely. Tallow has risen to 665. and 665. 6d. for
P.Y.C. on the spot.
The festival of All Saints occurring on the Ist of
this month (yesterday) it was a holiday on the
Paris Bourse. Although business was suspended
in the Exchange, a few transactions in the Three
per Cent. Rentes on the Boulevards were quoted
at 64f. 10c. for money.

The mass of bills falling due to-morrow, as the
4th is Sunday, will be very heavy, and the effect
has already been felt in the money market ; the
demand for discount accommodation having become
very active. It is considered likely that some firms,
whose position, for some time, has not been very
satisfactory, may succumb, and a firm extensively
engaged in the Spanish and Italian oil, sulphur,
and fruit trade, is already reported to be in diffi-
culties. The liabilities are stated to be large, but
we refrain from giving the name at present.
The market for English Stocks is rather firmer,
but had it not been for some large specula-
tive purchases the prices would most likely
have declined, as the money market is tight,
owing to the heavy amount of bills pay-
able to-morrow, and rumours are circulating
to the effect that the Bank of England Return, to
be published to-night, will show a further large
diminution in the bullion. Consols opened at
87/ and are now about 87i to 88 both for money
and account. The December quotations are 88 to.
The New 3 per Cents. are 872- and the Reduced
861 to 87k. Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 4s. dis-
count. The New 2i per Ceu s. are 72.
The Foreign Stock Market is generally well sup-
ported. Still, as corcpared. with Wednesday's
closing rates, some weakness is observable in
Turkish Six per Cents., which have ranged from
781 to 79. The new Scrip is steady at 3k to 3 dis-
count. Spanish Passive Bonds are 51, and Sar-
dinian Five per Cents. 841. Russian Five per
Cents. are marked 95i, and Belgian Four-and- a-
Half per Cents. 901 to 91k. Dutch Four per
Cents. have risen to 93i. Mexican Stock is heavy
at 19a to 19k, owing to the unsettled condition of
the Republic.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds; 18 to 20 ;
Mexican, 191 to ; Peruvian, 72 to 4 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 52 to 4; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 5 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 8 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 8 ; Spanish
New Deferred, 19k to -a ; ditto Three per Cents.,
3712 to 8 ; ditto Certificates, 4k to ; ditto Pas-
sive, 4i to 54.
ne last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as follow :

Railway shares are generally s'eady, but in some
cases we notice a decline. Great Northern, Cale-
donian, South-Western, and Midland are firm.
The Foreign lines are inactive but steady. Great
Western of Canada are again rather lower.

Mining and Banking shares are without any par-
ticular alteration. Canada Land shares have
dropped 5/. Royal Mail Steam are about 1/.
higher.
