CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday
closed with general and steady buying, and prices
of all kinds were extreme. The sales were esti-
mated at 20,000 bales (2,000 of which were taken
for export, and 5,000 on speculation), comprising
1,100 Pernam and Maranham at 641. to 7d., 200
Egyptian at 6d. to 7d., and 5,000 Surats at 3d.
to 4d. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed
very firmly, at an advance of to per cent. on
the rates of Friday last.
The John Bell, from Port Philip, brings about
40,000/. in gold. Her dates are only of February.
Accounts from the Baltic state that the Russian
Coast was now completely blockaded. The enlist-
ment in the north of Germany proceeded very
briskly, and 30 barracks were already erected at
tielige/and, each 60 feet long and 20 feet broad.
Large quantities of blankets and other stores had
been rec3ived out from England. Captain Baa-
seivitz, -who served during the revolutionary war
in the Dachies, had been made brevet major, to
c°enand the first battalion.
The Russians are stated to have stopped all the
vessels faden with grain from Ibrailow and Gaiatz
On the Danube, opposite Toultcha. Pos-ibly this

The accounts by the Asia from New York report
the
Stock market to have been buoyant at the
lattist date, and railroad securities were in much
favour. According to the official return of the
City banks for the week ending May 17, the de-
posits increased 1,500,626 dollars, and the specie
.639,430 dollars. The position of the money market
43 thus commented upon by a local journal :
it Capital is concentrating here, and nothing will give
ful'ne right kind of activity and distribution again but a
thiLsrld abundant harvest. Fine crops will give every
", g a start, and until the result of the growing season
4ftown money will accumulate in large cities, and a
masterly inactivity prevail."
From California we learn that trade had not
sh
"a any symptoms of improvement. The rainy

Beason w.Ls about to t-et in, when mining operations
would become less profitable, and the diggers
w °llld repair to the cities with their earnings ; so
thatt engaged in commercial pursuits were
tignine of renewed animation in the markets s
generally. 25
