MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

, Two oCLoo.K.
The Cotton Market
at CITY
Liverpool ' yesterday
closed heavily. The sales were estimated at 7,000
bales (1,500 of which were on speculation and for
ecilexrpoarnt)s.,
7Fair Uplands at 60., Gid. and
id. per lb. The sales of the week' have
amounted to 46,630 bales. The Railway Share
Market continues to exhibit a downward aspect,
and prices were fully to s per cent. lower than
on Thursday.
The state and prospects of the tallow trade, so
intimately connected with the Russian war, are
summed up as follows in a communication from
Messrs. Smith and Charles :
" We h.ve now arrived' at that period of the season
when the prospects of supply and demand become de-
veloped. As regards the former, the additional facili-
ties afforded by Ruisia and Prussia have effectually set
aside the blockade of the Baltic as far as commerce is
concerned ; and we may, therefcre, expect to receive
the whole of the production of Russia, viz., about 75m..
!..asks new, and 10c. 12m. casks left over last season.
From Australia we do not anticipate large supplies this
yearage.
"As to demand there can be no doubt that the trade
la very bare of stocks, and this fact may he safely placed
against the excess of our stocks in pitblic warehouses.
" The home production is smaller than an average,
and will continue so throughout this autumn ; and this
being also the prospect in France, we expect the con-
tinental demand for foreign tallow will continue through-
tut the ensuing season.
a " Politically, we might possibly see some prospect of
termination of the war, it every measure were adopted
to bring pressure on the enemy ; but whiht the Govern-
ment allows our blockades to be set at nought without
an effort to prevent it, it cannot be expected that the
war will be so unpopular in Russia as we have the power
°f making it. We are glad to see Lord Albemarle an-
nonnces his intention of agitating this questi,m, again
early next session. The advices we receive of the nature
"f the return cargoes from Memel, &c., into the inte-
_ twicr of Russia, by license of the Prussian authorities,
tiou:d rouse the indignation of any man capable of set-
t a higher value on human life than he would upon
tal,l_l( w , hemp, &c. ; and we trust, with Lord Albemarle,
het
'4 the Government may even 'before next session see
, fnecesslty of adopting more vigorous measures in re-
,ard to the trade of the enemy. At the same time we
tr, we must not expect any movement of this kind from
e present Ministry."
There was last week a further withdrawal of
Pecie from the Bank of England, but this might
have been occasioned by the dividend payments as
well as by remittances to the Continent and to
l
trllldiaa ) because the arrivals of bullion from Ails-
th- la and America should have sufficed to meet
e• From the re-payment of -loans obtained
ahll,o the transfer books were closed, as well as
roil the increasing ease of the money market, the
mountn of the securities was lessened, hut the
itlarterly disbursements of the Government brought
Part of the note reserves into play by an increase
t 7 active circulation, the large withdrawal of public
o posits being in part' counteracted by the increased
Ogolents on private account. Compared with the
'`evieus return, the alterations were as follows :
