COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, but prices were not changed, except for
New American, from 6id. to 70. per lb., which
appeared in some quantity, and was pressed for
sale, at a decline of at least id. per lb. The sales
were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, comprising 200 Pernam
and Maranham, 51d. to GO. ; 300 Egyptian, 60.
to ; and 300 Surat, 31d. to 40. per lb.
In the Railway Share Market there was a consider-
able improvement observable in the value of the
leading stocks at the Exchange.
Accounts from Paris and Vienna Bourses report
great buoyancy and improvement on the former,
and a continued fall in public and private securities
on the latter. The French 3 per cent. Rentes rose
yesterday as much as 35 centimes, and the 44- stock
75c. Money was easy, and there is no doubt that
the improvement will continue. Railway Shares
rose from 5 to 10fr., and shares of the Credit Mo-
bilier were bought at an advance of 17f. 50c.
The international society, for the adoption of
uniform weights, measures, and moneys, through-
out Europe, terminated their extraordinary meet-
ing, at the Palace of Industry, Paris, very satis-
factorily. The association is now considered to be
fully organised, and will continue to propagate in-
formation on this important question until they
succeed in effecting some measure approximating to
the objects in view. It has been decided that the
central committee will be established in Paris, and
be in regular communication with local committees
appointed in the principal cities of Europe. Al-
ready these have been formed in London, Madrid,
Lisbon, and Vienna, and at Berlin and some cities
of the Zollverein matters are in progress.
Advices from French Guiana to the 17th Oct°•
ber have arrived, wherein it is announced
that gold has been discovered in that colony, on
the river Approuagece. The discoverer, Felix
Coney, states that he has dug up and washed about
150 grammes weight, amongst which is a nugget

geological structure to the gold regions of Califor-
nia. Already a company has been formed to work
out the discovery on an extensive scale, which
will have the advantage of proceeding in their
operations upon the experiences of gold miners
from California. The official Gazette of Cayenne
publishes the fact with authority, and looks for-
ward to the beneficial results which will accrue to
the colony from the discovery.
In consequence of the instalment of 10 per cent.
on the English Loan having to be paid yesterday
an active demand for money existed, and in most
cases the Bank of England minimum rate was ex-
ceeded. No difficulty, however, was experienced,
and this liability, amounting to 1,600,0001., having
been discharged, rather an easier feeling will, no
doubt, prevail. Rumours have been freely circu-
lated to the effect that the Government has made
some arrangement which will relieve the position
of the Bank of England, and an early extension of
the note circulation is generally expected. It
was stated yesterday afternoon that power will be
given for the additional issue of 3,000,0001. of
notes.

The rates current for three months' bills on the
various cities of the Continent yesterday afternoon
were mostly rather weaker.
The English Funds have scarcely supported the
latest prices current yesterday after the regular
hours of business, but the market nevertheless
presents a steady appearance. Such an advance
as occurred yesterday, namely, 1 per cent., will,
no doubt, tempt a few sales, but with the
rise on the Paris Bourse, and the expec-
tation there as well as here that some
financial movement is near at hand, they will not
have much effect unless some untoward event
occurs. Consols for money after being 88i to 89
have declined to 88i to 88i. For time the quota-
tions have been 87k and 88i to 88k. The New
3 per Cents, have been 881 to 88g, and the Re-
duced 871 to 88. Exchequer Bills have been heavy
at 12s. and Bs. discount.

Speculation is very inert in the Foreign market,
and up to the present hour none of the South
American securities have been dealt in. Turkish
Bonds are firm at 808 to 81k, and the New Scrip at
3i to 31 discount. Dutch 4 per Cents. have risen
namely, to 93. French 3 per Cents. are 66 25,
with the exchange at 25 25.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 7 ;
Mexican, 19k ; 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, 191 to 20 ; ditto Three per Cents.,
38k to ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 4i ; ditto Pas-
sive, 6 to 61.

Railway Shares generally tend upwards, and a
Moderate amount of business is being transacted.
The Great Northern have risen about 1, Great
Western, 3to 1; Lancashire and Yorkshire, ;
North-Western, -4 to ; and the others in propor-
tion.. The Foreign lines continue very dull.
Great Western of Canada shares are rather dearer.

Mining and Banking Shares attract scarcely any
attention, and the miscellaneous undertakings are
remarkably dull.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.
The show of English wheat in to-day's market was very
limited, and chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples,
all kinds met a slow sale, but we have sw change to notice
in the quotations.
We had a very dull inquiry for foreign wheat—the sup-
ply of which was small, at Monday's currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain were firzn, and held for more
money.
The barley trade was steady, at extreme quotations.
Malt was quite as dear as last week.
There was a fair demand for oats, at full quotationn.
Beans and peas were firm ; but flour met a dull inquiry.

LIVERPOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION.-At a meeting of
the representatives of the local press, on Saturday even-
ing, at the Clarendon Rooms, Mr. Baker of the Liverpool
Mail, occupying the chair, it was resolved to establish a
society, under the above designation, the object of which
should be to cultivate mutual good feeling and cordial
action amongst those engaged in the literary depart-
ments of the press of this town, by bringing them into
contact with each other at social and other meetings to
be held periodically. By the interchange of friendly 100
feelings, which would thus be created, and by pro. 10
muting objects of interest to the profession generally, 5
the promoters of the society believe that much advan-
tage would be derived, while from its corporate character
the association is expected to attain an influence which,
rightly directed, may be productive of the most impor- 1
tint and beneficial resulto.—.Liverpo4 441 m. 643
