CITY, Two O'CLOCK. hr.
The sales of cotton in the Liverpool Cotton Mar- Bt.
ket on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of 1
which 500 were taken for export. The sales include 0
200 Pernam and Maranham, 61d. to 60. ; 200 jt:--4
Egyptian, Sid. to 'rid. ; and 700 Surat, M. to
31
4i-d. The market closed tamely but steadily, and,
compared with Friday's range, prices of all kinds 27,
were unchanged. There was little alteration to 221
note in the Railway Share Market. is
The New York accounts state that a panic had St
prevailed in the Stock Market. The market for st:
foreign productions was quiet and rather depressed, 100
with some inclination on the part of holders to 50
press sales. Flour had been firmer, and common 20
and medium grades of State were rather dearer. 10
All kinds of breadstuffs likewise tended upwards. 10
The return of the City Banks for the week ending 15i g
November S, as compared with the previous state- 25
ment, showed a diminution in the specie of 57,223 25
dollars, and the discounts were lessened 847,283 8t•
dollars. St.
There are later advices by way of New York
from Mexico, which mention that various alters- 25
tions have been made by the Government, which st-
rrere principally of a local character. All public '1 c,l*
money bad been ordered to be at the disposal of st.
the Treasury Department alone, except 25 per CO
cent. destined for the English and Diplomatic Con- 20
ventions. The deem) of Santa Anna limiting the St.
introduction of books to the ports of Vera Cruz isto
.
is abolished. The cultivation of tobacco has St.
been declared free at Tobasco. The tonnage duties stt*
have been reduced in the ports there, and the ex- St.
port duty has been taken off dye wood. Cocoa had ft
been relieved from the Alcabala duty. 12
On the Paris Bourse, at the close of the week, an tr.o
Unusual degree of indifference was manifested, both it.tZ
by speculators and capitalists. It was observed St:
that buyers and sellers hesitated to risk a decided ,g
movement either one way or the other. The French
3 per Cents. were quoted at a fall of 10 centimes Bt.
For the December account, and the 4i Stock receded
as much as 50 centimes for the same term, while 10
the former for the current month were without Pt'
change, and the latter not quoted. In Railway 50
Shares there were few transactions, but these
maintained former prices. Bank of France Shares 25
were sold at 10 francs less. Credit Mobilier were 1.
feebly maintained, at an improvement of 5 francs,
R/z
and the New Loan had an upward tendency. 10
The conditions of the new tariff on all articles of St
gt,
consumption subject to the octroi duties in Paris, 50
have just been issued by the Government. In all 25
the principal articles which may be classed under '
the head of luxuries, there is an augmentation 50
compared with former rates ; while articles of food 20
and fuel remain unaltered. The duties on wines st
entering the barrieres is advanced about 20 per t)
cent., and the charge on a measure of spirits which '31.6t.
was formerly 73 francs 50 centimes is to be 89 16
francs 50 centimes. Also in vinegar, oil, and 2
other descriptions of oilmen's wares there is a sen- st.
Bible augmentation, especially in wax candles. The 25
duties on coal, charcoal, and other kinds of fuel g5O
are not increased, nor in materials for building. St.
Barley is raised from 04c. to lfr. Coc. ; oats to Slot
Mo. instead of 250. per hectolitre.
The corn trade is dull and wheat is rather cheaper
to-day.

The market for English Stocks presents a dull
appearance in the absence of speculative dealing,
and the quotations are to per cent. lower than
on Saturday. Tho sentence of two years' imprison-
ment passed on Joseph Wagner, for enlisting in
the United States, is considered severe, but it has
not bad much effect upon the funds. Consols for
money have been 87i -6, and 87i f, while for ac-
account the prices have ruled at 87f all the
morning. Bank Stock is steady at 209. Exche-
quer Bills are marked 7s. discount.

Most of the Foreign Securities are rather weaker,
with a moderate amount of business doing. The
Turkish 6 per Cents. are fully per cent. lower,
namely, 791 to 79g, and the New Scrip remains at
41. to 4 discount. Dutch 21 per Cents, aro rather
firmer, being 63 to 631. Spanish New Deferred
are flat at 194, Mexican at 19k, and Peruvian 3
per Cents. at 51i. Sardinian 5 per Cents. are
quoted at 851, Guatemala 23, and Danish 3 per
Cents. 81.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6,f to 7± ;
Mexican, 19i # ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three
per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 96 ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish
New Deferred, ln ; ditto Three per Cents., ;
ditto Certificates, 411 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 51, to Q.
English Railway Shares are generally heavy, but
transactions to a fair exent have been entered
into. The lines principally dealt in are North-
Western, Great Western, North-Eastern, Berwick
and Caledonian. Foreign and Colonial lines are
dull.

Banking, as well as Mining Shares have been in
very limited request. Canada Land Shares are
quoted as low as 129 to 131.
