AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,000 American,
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed heavily. The sales comprised 6,000 Ame-
rican, 700 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 60.,
100 Bahia at 6,0. to 6d., 400 Egyptian at 6fd.
to 7id., and- 700 Surat at 3.1 d. to 324. per lb.
Railway Shares were depressed.
Letters by the Pacific steamer for the Cape of
Good Hope and Australia must be posted on the
24th inst. Newspapers will be charged id., and
letters under half an ounce 6d. each.. There will
be no mail steamer on the 3d December.
The advices from the continent are not of much
commercial interest. The Russian Government
was about to join the German telegraphic union.
A movement is again on foot by Prussia to esta-
blish a uniform monetary system for all Germany.
The English Stock Market has suffered greatly
from the effects of the last few days, and the Rus-
sian version of the sorties against the French bat-
teries, exaggerated as it is believed to be, has
nevertheless come inopportunely just upon the eve
of the settlement. The speculators having been
largely operating for a rise when the account be-
gan, have not, apparently, been supported by money
purchases, and the consequence is a reaction much
' more severe than otherwise would have oc-
curred. There is the capital of the pub-
lic wanting to give permanent strength to
prices, and this probably will be withheld
until Sebastopol is taken. Consols have been
921 I, and since 92 to 92g. The Reduced Annui-
ties are 90i to 91f, and the New 3 per Cents. 901
to 9.4. Exchequer Bills 'are down to 7s. and 4s.
premium. Money is in dematid in the. Stock Ex-
change, and the " differences" that will have to be
met to-morrow, " pay-day," are exceedinglyheavy,
and such as, in conjunction with the severe losses
upon Turkish Scrip, bought by many at 6 and 7
premium, and now down to 3 and 4 discount, will
compel some parties to seek indulgence, if they
be not even brought to an actual stand-still.
Bank Stock has been at 211 to 2121. East India
Bonds are 10s. to 13s. premium.
The Foreign Market is unsteady. The Turkish
Scrip has been done at 21, and also at 4 discount.
There are large holders in the " house," and upon
these the pressure to meet the next instalment is
very severe, seeing the difficulty of selling. Peru-
vian 4 per Cents. have been done at 66. The
holders of the " home" debt, no doubt, find them-
selves inconvenienced by the resolution not to allow
it to be quoted, and may have to diminish their
stake, if any, in the other securities. The.
Spanish Committee's Certificate has been at 51 ;
Brazilian Old Stock is at 99 ; Dutch 4 per Cents.
have been at 90/ to 91f.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5,1 to 5/ ; Mexi-
can, 214 to 22f ; Peruvian, 67 to 69 ; ditto,
3 per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,
40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto,
4i per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred,
18i to 181 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto,
Certificates, 51 to 5i ; ditto, Passive, 41 to 5.
The Railway Share Market has been depressed
by a pressure of sellers, and the decline is about
1 per cent. on the average. The dealings have
extended pretty generally to Caledonian, Great
Northern, and Lancashire and Yorkshire. Foreign
shares have been nominal.

The Mines are steady, the Banks rather lower,
and the Miscellaneous quiet.
