CITY, Two o'CLoof.
The Cotton M-rket at Liverpool yesterday
closed heavily, with a downward tendency in prices.
The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales (1,000 of
which were taken for export, and 500 on specula-
tion), comprising 200 Egyptian at Gil. to 91d.,
and 700 Surat at 34. to 51d. per lb. The Railway.
Share Market opened quietly, but closed subse-
quently at an advance.
According to a letter from Mr. Joseph Whitaker,
of Liverpool, a moderate number of vessels is up
at that port for Australia. The number sailed last
month was nine, of 10,336 tops, with 1,601 passen-
gers. The rate of freight is 455. to 50s. to Sydney,
10s. to 455. to Melbourne Bay, and 50s. to 60s. to
the wharf. Geelong wharf 555. to 605., and Ade-
laide 455. to 50s.
The mails by the Queen from St. Helena were
delivered this morning.
The Gladiator has arrived in the Downes from
"New South Wales, and the Sarah Ann from Laun-
ceston is at Gravesend. The Devonshire brings
8)9561.
Copy has been received of the provisions in
The
Aloniteur regulating the new French loan.
die 'Minister of Finance is authorised to inscribe
in the great book of the debt the sum of rentes ne-
cessary to produce, at the contract prices, a capital
of 700 millions of francs.
if The supply (supplement) necessary to facilitate,
t takes place, the liquidation of the subscrip-
tionsand the expenses of the discount resulting
f
rfun the anticipation of payments, must not ex-
ceed the capital sum of 30 millions of francs.
It i 8 by some inferred from this that only 30
-""lions of the total loan will be allowed to be
Paid up at one time, although at what intervals is
"v°lved in doubt. If this sum were taken monthly
it would spread the payments of the loan over more
than two years, a longer date, we apprehend, than
the French Government, with all its war expenses
Upon it, could possibly give.

he Money Market is fully supplied to-day,

proprietors. The remainder of the assets
vici?l.l be distributed next January. With the di-
antends payable next Monday
i and the weather
f:,'.avourable for the crops, it s natural that the
.'eung in the City should to-day be more hopeful
gs to the future.
ohihe Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and
na has issued its proposals for receiving the sub-
ririptions to the additional capital. The deposit is
per share.
