AND
VOIIIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed very tamely, but the prices of last week were
fully sustained. The sales were estimated at 5,000
hale (2,000 of which were taken on speculation),
.„„'lrnprising 3,000 American at various prices • 200
f'gYptian at 71d. to Bid., and 1,500 Surat at 31d.
i° Rd. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened
'l'll a dull feeling, but closed at a slight improve-
Tnent.
In their report upon the state of the fruit trade
at Liverpool, Messrs. Houghton and Levy remark
tha.t

"There is now but very little of any description of-
,;:ling on the market, and that is held for extreme rates.
That a further advance will take place is only reasonable
10 anticipate, as the market hitherto has never bad such
a healthy appearance. The whole stock now will not
teach 600 tons, one-third of which is low fruit, so that
at the present rate of clearances there is not three
consumption left, and there is no prospect of
nY additional supplies of importance until next season's
l'°P. Several parcels have been taken from this for the
cndon market, which was first to advance. The clear-
l'T)el3 there are now at the rate of 1,100 tons a month,
and
the whole stock is reduced to 2,100 tons, against
'OOO at this period last year,"
, The Overland is expected in London on
uriday next. Thy:, advices appear to be extremely
lavourable wit.'n regard to trade in India.
Freights to, A-ustralia are looking up, and there

s, appears to be worse the more it is inquired
i.,:;te•'e Of course, a great deal is mere hearsay, but
quarters the assetsare put down as low as

lb the pound. Although the connections of the
k(e)e'le were not very extended, the parties who
Pt accounts were of wealth and respectability,
ja cl had, in some instances, large balances. It
rumoured that one nobleman of known -
0;01 habits had as much as 40,0001. deposited.

a failure like this will give a great blow it
