COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLOO

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very quietly. Compared with Friday's rates prices
of American and Surat were id. per lb. higher.
The sales were estimated at about 7,000 bales,
500 for export, and 500 on speculation. The
transactions included 200 Egyptian, at Gd. to 62d.,
and 200 Surat, at 32d. to 40. All other prices
were without change. Railway Shares further ad-
vanced.

From Paris the accounts are unfavourable in re.

ference to monetary and commercial affairs. The
active speculation recently noticed on the Bourse
has given rise to some apprehension, and it is con-
sidered probable that failures will occur on the
next account day. Upon the last occasion great
embarrassment would, it is stated, have been ex-
perienced if the Bank of France had not rendered
assistance to the operators. Trade appears to be
in a depressed state, although at this period of the
year there is generally much activity.
The quotations from the Continental Bourses
exhibit an improvement on previous prices, and
money is becoming more plentiful in Central Eu-
rope, where much activity continues to exist in
the sales of grain on Prussian account. At Berlin
the 4i per Cents. have been firm at 1081, and the
4 per Cents. at 97g. Bank of Prussia Shares rule

at 122. At Frankfort Public Securities were with-
out variation, at former quotations; and at Amster-
dam 5 per cent. Meta Hies were bought at 63 13-16.
On the Paris Bourse Rentes were in demand at an
advance upon the closing prices of Monday. The
3 per Cents. rose 40 centimes for money, and
30c. for the account. Considerable animation
was exhibited in the latter stock, and at one time
they rose to 64!. 95c., in consequence of large pur-
chases on account of capitalists and favourable ac-
counts from the London Stock Exchange. A few
of the railway stocks were firmer, such as North
of France, which advanced 2f. 50c., East New
Scrip 2f. 50c., West of France 2f. 50c., and Geneva
3f. 750, but all others receded, Lyons 5f , Medi-
terranean 15f., Grand Central 2f. 50c., in conse-
quence of the 15tk being settling day.
According to returns published officially, it ap-
pears that France has been a large importer of
common wines this year, in consequence of a de-
ficiency in the vintage. From the prohibitory
decrees issued last year against the distillation of
spirits from grain, there has also been an increase
in their importation, especially from this country.
During the month of October last the quantity of
common wines imported was 29,866 hectolitres, of
liqueurs 763, and spirits of all sorts 8,272. The
total quantities from the announcement of the im-
perial decrees of 30th August, 22d September, and
sth October, 1854, to the 31st October, 1855, was,
of ordinary wines 463,667 hectolitres, liqueurs
17,340, and spirits 235,951.
English Securities are depressed in consequence
of the reported fall of Kars, and the quotations
are fully I to II per cent. lower than yesterday.
As, however, the opprators are engaged in
making arrangements for the adjustment of
the Railway and Foreign Stock accounts the
transactions are circumscribed. Consols opened
at 88a f, then rose to 831 but afterwards
dropped to 88i f. The New 3 per Cents. have
been largely dealt in at 881 to 89k, and the Re-
duced are 88 Bank Stock is 209, being heavy.
Exchequer Bills are 7s. to 2s. discount.
The Foreign Stock Market is also weaker, parti-
cularly for Turkish Six per Cents., which have
declined to 83 and 834, owing to the unfavourable
rumour above noticed. The New Scrip is f per
cent. lower—viz., 311 discount. Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. have declined to 744.
Spanish Three per Cents. to 39k, and the Deferred
to 204 Sardinian are firmer, being 834,. and
Equador Bonds rule steady at 54. Belgian 4i per
Cents. are 92. _ _

The Spanish Financial Agency have advertised
the 48th auction of the Foreign Redeemable Debt,
which takes place at Madrid on the 29th inst. The
amount assigned for that purpose is 750,000 reels.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 7 ;
Mexican, 19a to ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto
Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 44 to 46 ; Russian Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 to 90; Spanish
Three per Cents., 391 to ; ditto Passive, 7 to
7i ; ditto Deferred, 201 to ; ditto Certificates,
4i to I. . _

Railway Shares are generally at lower quota-
tions. Great Western, however, are 10s. to 15s.
higher. Some of the other lines receded ss. to 108.
The French and Colonial shares are without parti-
cular variation, but Great Western of Canada rule
flatter.

Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares are
generally steady.
