CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.-Our mar-
ket continues exceedingly depressed, with more unset-
tled prices, and an increased desire to meet the demand.
American descriptions are id. to Fl. lower, according to
quality ; the better grades having declined the most,
the inferior the least. Surats are fully id. to id. easier.
The high price is evidently curtailing the demand ; and
it is remarkable, under this circumstance, that good
Orleans, at the present comparatively low price, have
not more attention. Exporters have taken 3,300 bales
of American and 150 Surats, and speculators 500
Americans. The sales to day are 3,500 bales of all
kinds,

We have received a Mauritius Price Current to the
17th July. Exchange on London—Bills, thirty days'
sight, 3 per cent. prem. ; Bank bills, ninety days' sight,
none ; private hills, ninety days' sight, from 1 to 2 per
cent. discount ; ditto, six months' sight, 2 to 4 per
cent. discount.

Our arrivals this morning are a French mail, and ship
letters from Bahia ; Sydney, May 8 ; Madras, June 13 ;
Calcutta, April 20 ; St. Helena, Aug. 19—old dates.

THE FUNDS.
The Consol Market opened rather heavy this morning
and left off yesterday at 91 sellers for the Account,
and for Money, 901 /. At present may be quoted
at 90k 1 for Marley, and for Aocount 904 s, with little
doing ; Exchequer Bills, 3to 1 discount ; Bank Stock,
179 180 ; India Stock, '246 '247.
The Market for the Foreign Exchanges has again
exhibited symptoms of weakness, the rates on all the
principal continental cities having fallen, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of a trading firm, who act for the Bank
of England, to sustain the prices. The demand which
exists for gold for export, in fact, completely renders
inefficient all the efforts of the Bank to keep up the
Exchanges more than for one or two post dais. It is
satisfactory to learn, however, by the advices from the
Continent, that the Exchanges there were becoming
more in favour of this country, and this may work indi-
rectly the remedy the Directors are now striving to
effect. The rate on Paris left off at 25 60 ; on Ham-
burg at 13 94 ; on Amsterdam at 12 11 ; on Antwerp
at 12 31 ; and on Frankfort at 1504.
In the Foreign Market Spanish has improved, owing
to its coming higher from Paris, closed at 29/ i, at
present 29/ 30 ; Portuguese continue as they closed,

HALF-PAST ONE.

We continue in the same state as in the early part of
the morning ; no speculations of consequence doing in
the Funds ; money continues at an easy rate.
In the British Market, Consols at one period reached
91, since which they turned rather heavy, and receded
to 901 for the Account, supposed owing to the Foreign
exchanges having lowered. In general Saturday is a
dull day for speculations, not only in the Funds but in
commercial affairs.

Consols at present 90i for Account ; Money, 90,1.
Exchequer Bills, 2 3 1 dis. ; Bank Stock, 1791 1801 ;
India Bonds, par.

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active continues at
30 ; Portuguese, 37 ; Three per Cents., 25; Colom-
bian, 32 ; Brazilian, 72i ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 52 ; Five per Cents., 100§
No reports or any further arrivals.
