The L •erpool Cotton Market yesterday mani-
fested a I.a nguid tone at orae time, but prices were
unchang ed, with sales er,timated at 8,000 to 10,00,J
bales. nese include' fully 1,500 for export an
on speculation. Pr'ices, according to the broke] N'
standard of quotations, were steady. Uplantis,
Sid. ; M 51d. ; and Orleans, 66d. per lb.
In the Ras Iway Share Market the stringent cha me-
ter of the 1 money market prevents much bus,lness
going fcrw ard, and sellers find a difficulty in sus-
taining pi ices. . . .

The we sk's Bank return to the 20th ins taut is as
satisfactory as was expected. The diminiution of
bullion was of course anticipated, and s nue had
looked f or a much larger addition to the a mount of
discour .t. The effect of this falling off: is some
proof that the rates are checking the demand.

makes b piastres the kilog. Barley and oats will

ported is small.
