HONEY KET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(Jll Y, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool cotton market closed yesterday
with complete steadiness, and prices, if anything,
were against the purchaser. The advices !per
Canada did not appear to have exercised any ef:ect
upon the market. The sales were 7,000 bales, 500
for export, including 170 Pernam and Maranhan3,
bid: to 6d. ; 110 Bahia, 6d. to 6d. ; 150 EgyP
tian, 61d. to 71d. ; 500 Surat, 31d. to 40. ; and
140 Sea Islands, Pd. to ls. 3d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market was quiet, without any
material fluctuation in quotations.
The Duke of Northumberland, from Sydney,
has only 1,712 ounces of gad on board, and her
dates are old, as she had to put into Rio de LTA•

neiro.
The Madrid, from the Mediterranean, has 5,2901
in specie.

The amount of bills drawn by the Honourable
East India Comphny in London during the past
fortnight upon the three Presidencies has been
.very small, amounting to only 3,451/:
In the money market there are still symptoms
of uneasiness, aggravated by one or two extraneous
circumstances and fostered by the excitement ever
attendant on uncertainty. It has been ascertained
that gold was yesterday again taken from the Bank
of England for transmission to the Continent, al-
tlibugh as a mere matter of speculation it no
longer pays to export thither the precious metal.
Another proof of what we have already advanced
under this head, namely, that if certain
engagements abroad have to be met, the applica-
tion of the " screw" will not prevent it even were
such a result desirable or just. The speculations
of different parties may be controlled and arrested,
but we refer to contracts previously entered into,
such as the Turkish loan. With respect to the
next important circumstance affecting money,
viz., the food supply, the opinion is expressed by
writers at Paris, that part of the bullion withdrawn
from the Bank of France lately has been for
the purchase of grain, and consequently that
portion of the current wants is provided for by an-
ticipation ; nor must we leave out of calculation
the important fact that it is the gradual impel'
tion of corn between this time and September nest
that is requisite to reinforce the home supply, and
keep prices at a reasonable limit. In this
way a much smaller amount of the precious
metal may be made to accomplish the
work before us, and every one is aware that
the United States extends her purchases of British
manufactures considerably when the means are
forthcoming from enlarged shipments of her pro-
ducts. At Paris, gold is stated to be getting
dearer, and although this will have a tendency to
draw the precious metal from London, it will also
operate upon the Continental towns, and has, no
doubt, been brought about by the restrictive mea-
sures here.
The Stock Market has become very heavy again
this morning, the supply of Consols being still in
excess of the demand, and supposed to be due to
continued sales for the Bank of England. Whe-
ther these operations will cause the rostponement
of a further advance on Thursday next in the rate
of discount, seems as much doubted as it was last
week, seeing that gold is still taken away, but
the large sums from Australia have not
yet been delivered, and will be available
this week to meet part of. the current demand.
English holders of French shares have been rea-
lising at Paris as a convenient method of putting
themselves in funds, and this will assist the el'
changes, although the expenditure of English visi-
tors to Paris precludes the idea of a large balance
being due to us on our general account. Consols
have realised 89i and 90, and since have declined
to 89l for Transfer, being the same for October.
Exchequer Bills are par to 2s. premium, and India
Bonds 7s. premium.
The principal dealing in the foreign market is
still in Turkish stock, which has further declined
about to per cent., having been 88i to 89k.
The scrip has varied from -,`El to 11 discount. Gre-
nada Stock has been buoyant at a rise to 191 and
20. Peruvian continues heavy.at 761. Spanish
Threes are 38 and the Deferred 191, being firm.
Dutch 2i per Cents. are 64g.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks' :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 20 ; Meld-
can, 211 ; Peruvian, 76 8 ; ditto, 3 per Cents''
57 9 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian
per Cents., 97 9 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 86 8;
Spanish New Deferred, 191 4 ; ditto 3 per Cents"
38 6 ; Ditto Certificates, 42. 6; Ditto Passive, 415:
This being " ticket day" in the Share Market;
the business doing consists chiefly of arrangernetnut
for the approaching settlement of the account, 'ye
independently of the influence which they have
upon prices, 'the heaviness of the English Funds
has caused a downward movement. The declisTi;
some instances is .to per cent. The specula.
es
account is evidently small. The Foraign 'la t
are comparatively neglected, and the
Gren
Western of Canada, though steady, are dull. ,
e
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares rule
generally the same as previously.
