()FiT, Two O'CLOCK,

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 15,000 bales, of which 4,000 American and
500 Surat were taken on speculation. The market
closed with animation ; and, as compared with Friday's
rates, prices of all kinds were extreme, and in some
cases American were id. per lb higher per higher.
The sales comprised 12,000 Americas; 1,000 Pernam,
and Maranham, at bid to 74d ; 500 Bahia, at Cid to
6~1; 800 Egyptian, at 6?,1 to 9d; and 1,200 Surat,
at 4d to 51d per lb. Railway shares were firmer.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 39s 7d
per qr., and the last week's sales were 114,138 qrs.
The Indigo auctions have been brought to a close,
and the report furnished by Messrs. H. W. Jewes-
bury and Co., after giving the quantity 20,958, pro-
ceeds as follows :

" Soon after the close of the last Jaly sale, a fair de•
mend arose for Indigo both for export and home use,
and prices were firm at Sale's rates; which continued
until the arrival of information by the Indian Mail, with
dates from Calcutta to August 6th, stating that consi-
derable damage had been done to the new crop by very
heavy rain and inundation ; this produced a speculative
demand in our market, and prices rapidly advanced for
good l3engal qualities, to about 9d per lb above previous
rates, at which rise a considerable business was done,
there being an impression that the advance would be
more than realized at the sale just concluded. This how-
ever has not been the case, and the trial of a few parcels
on the first day's sale at Is. per lb advance, but which
were obliged to be withdrawn, proved that purchasers
were not prepared to pay so heavy an advance, but at
about 8,1 to 9d advance there was a disposition to pur-
chase; and as the sale progressed this rate was established
and maintained, excepting for a few perfect and very de-
sirable parcels, which sold somewhat higher, and for
some detective and inferior qualities, which sold rather
lower. Kurpah has been in good demand at from 4d
to 8d per lb. advance, and Madras at 6d to 8d per lb
advance. The great rise in value has materially checked
business, and many orders both home and foreign have
been countermanded; importers throughout gave strong
support by withdrawing large parcels, but were firmer
in their demands since the arrival of the Indian Mail on
Friday last, after which there was much more animation
in the biddings at previous rates- Of the quantity
brought forward, it is estimated that 4,514 are bought
in, 11,172 withdrawn, and 5,272 sold, to which may be
added about 1,000 of the bought-in and withdrawn;
making the total quantity sold, say 6,200 chests,of which
4,000 chests are for export, and 2,200 for home use and
re-sale. The following are the quotations, as compared
with the last July sale:—

Fredinnick and Co., it is stated :

Buller, Alfr€d Consols, Wheal Basset, Merllyn, Great
Polgooth, Wheal Seton, West Providence, Wheal Tre-
mayne, Bedford United, East Daren, Condurrow, South

The herring fishery off the coast of Holland is
proving very productive. Ten vessels returned to
Scheveninque on the 18th inst. with 750,000 herrings
on board, and one ship on the following day with
31,000. The selling prices were 14 to 18 florins per
thousand.

The contract for the railway from Rotterdam to
. Utrecht by way of Gonda, has been taken by an Eng-
lish engineer at 3,500,000 florins.

bourg on account of fraudulent bankruptcy, has been
arrested at Paris and taken back to Deutz.

The English Stock Market which closed very
heavily yesterday, has not yet recovered, sales being
made for money, and the quotations have receded to
:going on,
1001 4, after being 1001 I. There is scarcely any
speculation
but the dealers are rather
against the market on account of the proximat3 ses-
sion of the Legislature, and the state of affairs on
the continent, now tranquil, it is true, but never
absolutely safe. The host of new companies and
loans is likewise against Consols, as there are heavy
calls and instalments shortly to be met. Bank Stock
has been very heavy at a decline to 2204 to 221; ;
New 341 per Cents. have realised 104 too 4; Ex•
chequer Bills are steady.
Consols for money are now 1001 to 4., and for ac-
count, 1001 to I-.
The explanations offered of the Turkish Loan affair
are considered very unsatisfactory up to this time;
but the high price from Paris, 7i to 8 premium,
keeps up the price. The original " firman" has evi-
dently been departed from, both as to the amount
borrowed and the time allowed for its redemption ;
but if the Government afterwards acquiesced, it can-
not now repudiate the bargain. The prices have been
dto 6id premium. Spanish New Deferred are 25i
The Committee have drawn up a memorial about the
coupon claims. Mexican are steady at 244 to 25.
Swedish Loan is * discount to premium. Equador
Bonds are at 4i to 5. Dutch 23- per Cents. bring
644 to 65.

the English lines are down about per cent. on the
average. French Shares are lower also by Ito 1i

THE TURKISH LOAN.—Turkish scrip has expe-
rienced a further depression. The Sultan has refused to
ratify the loan, which refusal is supposed to be the result
of a deeply laid intrigue on the part of the neighbouring
Powers, who are indisposed to allow Turkey to come into
independent action with France and England. A departure
is understood to have been made from the original instruc-
lamed and
tions for the loan, inasmuch as the amount contracted. for
was 2,000,0001. instead of 1,600,0001., and the period of re-
payment was spread over 23yeatros,hianvsteebadeeonf years;explained
these changes are represented but
sanctioned, the Government, in the full knowledge of all that
had been done, having actually received already 100,000/.
of the proceeds. Under these circumstances, according to
advices from Paris, the French Minister has insisted upon
the necessity that the loan should be ratified. The transac-
tions in the official list yesterday were at 41,3 1, A
and 41
and after regular hours the quotation was 41 3 premium."
DEATH FROM STAnvATioN.---Yesterday morning,
Shoreditch, on the body of John Phillip
Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, held an inquest at the Black
alloeraseerTzsvrged sixty years, the deceased WAS formerly in
army.n,
the kay, and served in several elgagelnents, but for many
years past he had been in the habit of getting a livelihood by
selling coloured pantomimic or changeable figures facing St.
Thomas's Hospital, and the R Exchange.
oyal He originally
obtained a shilling each for them, but of late years he sold
them at a penny each, which reduced him and his family to
great distress. He went out al usual on Saturday last, and
only took two pence, with which he purchased a small loaf.
On the following day he was seized with sickness, and be-
fore medical assistance could be procured he expired. The
y returned a verdict of " natural death."
