CITY, Two O'CLOCK,

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted
to 30,000 b:'es. The market was arimated, end
closed firmly. Since Friday, American, St,'fat, end
Egyptian have advanced id per lb. There was but
little change in Brazilian, the accounts by the
Atlantic being unfavourable for growing crops.
Speculators took 8,000 American, 4,000 Egyptian,
and 2,000 Surat. The rates included 20,000 Ameri-
can, GOO Pernam and Maranham at 61d to 8d; 300
Bahia at God to 7d; 5,000 Egyptian at 6-,11 to 81d ;
and 3,000 Surat at 4d to sd. Railway Shares con-
tinuei firm, and operations were entered into freely
for the new Account commencing to-day.

The nature of the intelligence received from abroad
is more favourable with respect to the Turkish loan,
though by no means definite, and the opinion grows
stronger that the Ottoman Porte must either ratify
the bargain entered into with ifa accredited repre-
sentative, or give indemnification. The prevailing
impression now is, that compensation will be offered.
Some say a premium of about 71., with the return of
the capital paid up may be offered, and that a new
loan would then be brought eut conformably to the
plan originally agreed on. According to what has
been rumoured, the wish of the Government at Con-
stantinople was to take a lorn for eight years, and
only pay 7 per cent. interest on it. A leading capi-
talists' firm at PV.: 3, objected b this short period, and
when the loan wca offered inew to the present con-
tractors, Prince Ce'imacbi and the agent of the Bank
of Constantinople, considering nemselves to be duly
authorised, are said to have changed the period
into 22 years, wits 6 per cent. interest. Of course
such on dits ye to be taken simply for what
they may La worh, and it will La impor'ant if another
statement proves true, viz. that the Loan was con-
tracted at Par.

The English Funds have been rather fi..m, with
moderate dealings. The same causes before noticed
of late, viz. the indisposition to do business so neer
the opening of Parliament, will explain the present
dullness. Consols have been 100, to for transfer,
and 1001, a, for account. The New 31 per Cents.

chequer Bills have been worth 755. premium, and
India Bonds 85s to 88s premium.

are 511 to rad the Deferred 25 to 1. The
Turkish loan has been fluctuating considerably.
After opening as low as 21 to 3, they have
rallied to 5 and sf. The present price is 4f to 5.
The Swedish scrip, which was down to 3 discount
yesterday, and has been at 2 this morning, is now up
to 01- and 11 discount. Portuguese 4 per cents rre
about 381; Buenos Ayres is worth 81, teiog
Sardinian bonds bring 97/ to a. Dutch and Rus-
sian stocks are firm.

The arrangements for settling in the railway
mrM-
ket occupy, almost exclusively, the attention of the
jobbers; and in the principal English Enos there is a
rise of Ito 2 per cent. Lancashire and Yorkshire
Great Northern, Midland and South Western, are
particularly buoyant. French shares are ell dearer.

this day, are in round figures as under:—
