COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
itea cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed
ally, but somewhat tamely, and prices of all
2criptions wore quite as dear. The sales were
lnated at 12,000 bales (of which 2,000 were for
,port, and 3,000 on speculation), comprising 650
Csuani and Maranham, 60. to 71d. ; 150
CO, at 51d.; 500 Egyptian, at sgd. to and
Cu 'Surat, at 3id. to 4d. per lb. The Railway
4re Market closed quiet, but prices have slightly

Zang, however, has declined 6d. per cwt., and
Oiled has ruled firm. For coffee the demand has
eeen limited, but values have undergone no reduc-
. Tea has ruled quiet, at former quotations.
Zle has tended downwards, and in spices the late

Messrs. H. W. Jewsbury and Co. state :
k:: The intelligence of the sudden death of the Emperor of
024, and the favourable effect it was thought likely to pro-
on the negotiations for peace, created some slight activity

railing of a speedy peace being concluded has rather
CIL e d operations, still the amount of business done during
month has, on the whole, been satisfactory ; importers
supplied the markets moderately, and prices have
tO. Well maintained for most articles. The imports-
have; been very large, and the stocks generally still
itinne in excess of last year. The deliveries from the
rehouses, both for home consumption and export, con-
141e satisfactory. Dyes and dyeing materials have rather

dye remains without alteration. From the Continental
Cllue markets the reports state more business had been
1 without any material aleration to notice in prices.
t;111 the cotton manufacturing districts the accounts are
Linuer more satisfactory ; a fair business had been done in the
7 part of the month, but latterly from the large arrivals
beerth; prices had been accepted. From the woollen districts
th,,rePurts mention that trade has slightly improved, but

As the season opens more activity is observable
ode
the shipping interest, and the monthly list
re up by Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee
4 °llae, is longer accordingly. Freights to Australia
%pear to be rather higher, but a fair number of
1,1138 is on the birth, viz., about 10,000 tons to
2ctoria, 8,000 to New South Wales, and 6,500
Zile to South Australia. To Bengal the shipping
th represents 7,000 tons.
