MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEB,CIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoclr.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed heavily, with much evenness in prices. The
sales were estimated at 5,000 bales (500 of which
'were for export, and 500 on speculation), com-
prising 300 Pernam and Maranham at qd. to
71d., o 0 Bahia at 6:d, and 800 Surat at 44td. to
sid. per lb. The Railway Share Market was ex-
cessively dull, closing at a reduction upon the
opening prices.
The public sales of Colonial wool began last even •
ins, no less than 72,000 bales being advertised, in-
cluding the foreign. The biddings have been
brisk, and the attendance numerous, including
many foreigners.
For colonial produce this week there has been a
lair demand, and full rates have been current for
most staples. Sugar has been taken freely and re-
fining sorts are 6d. per cwt. dearer. Coffee at pre-
vious rates has been inquired for. Rather more
has been done in rice, and the market has ruled
Rum has been quiet. Spices have obtained
a slight advance generally. Saltpetre has been in
improved request at full values. Cochineal is
Steady. Cotton has been dull, and tallow firmer.
Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that in the
Market for American Securities there is no parti-
cular change to notice. The supply of State stocks
continues limited, and not equal to the demand—
a circumstance much in favour of the various rail-
.llr,„ aY securities, in which there is a good business
doing, with every appearance of a continuance :

The bill for limiting the liability of shareholders
ll,jcint stock companies has been amended by the
Insertion of a clause which provides that compa-
nies already existing and not working under the
I:I and Bth Vict., cap. 110, may enjoy the privi-
o-f7 of the new law upon paying up 75 per cent.
thateir capital, and satisfying the Board of Trade
110 the registrar may certify. This seems
e° ncession to such companies, considering
pact undertakings formed only after the act need
11 u p but 20 per cent. The Government has paid
b° attent
ion either to the reduction of the capital,
Monday
When the bill comes on in the Commons next
-m.nuday two amendments will be proposed—one by
-"-r• Wilkinson, to lower the capital of companies
entitled to limited liability to 10,0001. in 101.
shares
; and the other by Lord Goderich,
to have no limitation of the nominal
capital or shares. We have before expressed our
to P°Pinion that 10,0001. or 20,0001. fully paid up in
. shares, or even half paid up, is as much entitled
protection as 20,0001. raised in 51. shares, and
nothing has been urged to alter that view. The
great aim should be to establish a thorough super-
vision of public companies ; and it would be a good
opportunity to enact that all undertakings claiming
limited liability, should submit their books and
accounts periodically to a Government or official
auditor.

The James Booth, from Australia, brings
16,0001. in gold. Nearly all the gold brought in
from Americt and Victoria during the last few days
has been taken for shipment to the Continent.
The Tagus, from the Mediterranean, has about
72000/. on board.
, The English Stock Market went flatter yester-
day afternoon before the close, and opened with
rather a heavy appearance this morning, Consols
911, to 911. They are now, however, buyers
"') the highest of these rates. There is a re-
that the taking of the French loan will
deferred for a short time, to allow of
tsuccesses in the Crimea, and, as mentioned yes-
berdaY under this head, it is supposed from
ee notice in the Aloniteur that the parties will not
allowed to pay up in anticipation, about thirty
of stock being created monthly. The
a resse has a very exaggerated statement—viz., that
tole(10n banking-house opened a subscription for
French loan, and had applications the first day
the
amount of 500,000,000 francs. The Two-
gnllY Exchequer Bills are at 225. prem. The New
ceMity is at 16 15-16. Bank Stock has risen per
lit. again, being. 211& to 213. East India Stock

lallllian Bonds have been supported at 86.
