MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday,
Were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 700 Ameri-
can and 500 Bahia were taken for export. The
lieket closed heavily without alteration in prices.
Sales comprised 3,750 American; 500 Bahia, at 6d.
to 6d.; 300 Egyptian, at 6id. to 7d.; 500 Surat,
at 2kd. to 4d., and 50 Sea Islands. Railway Shares
Were heavy at rather low prices.
There will be letters received to go per Golden
Age steamer, by the agents in London, Messrs.
Grindley, owing to the Post-office not having come
to an arrangement.

The New York accounts, by the Arctic, notice
Some slignt improvement in stocks, though tilt
market was still in a very unsettled state. In fo-
reign manufactures there was not much activity ;
but desirable articles, which were wanted for im-
mediate use, commanded full prices. Imports
were steady, and mostly of spring goods. In the
resent advices from California it was stated that
large amounts of gold dust were coming into the
Market daily, and that some nuggets of extraordi-
nary size had been obtained. The importance and
necessity of association and the application of ma-
chinery had caused an organisation of several com-
panies, which were realising good profits.
Sydney dates of August 19 had been received at
San Francisco on the 16th October, being a few
days later than those which arrived here by the
Argo. It is said that notwithstanding the gold
discoveries, agriculture had not been at all ne-
glected, and there had been a large breadth of land
Sown owing to the high prices of breadstuffs which
prevailed some time back. Although the large im-
Ports had caused a decline, this was gradually re-
covered, owing to their cessation. The enhanced
Prices of wool and tallow had fully compensated
the graziers for the high rates of wages they had
been compelled to pay. The mining accounts
allowed signs of revival and prosperity. There was
ranch complaint as to the condition of the road,
but it is pleasing to know that the first section of
the Sydney railroad will be completed before the
end of next year. Exchange on London, drafts
against gold, 1 per cent. premium. Freight was
per cent. Ground rents were getting dearer.
Although the actual amount of money here must
be equal to all present requirements, the demand,
as well as the charge for it, is increasing, and in
Lombard-street, 5 per Cent. is currently asked for
the discount of very good paper not having long to
ran. The further amount, 400,000 dollars, received
from New York this morning, shows that until corn
and cotton are shipped the balance will be in our
favour.

The English Funds have recoverel partially the
decline of yesterday afternoon. Consols opened
rather heavily at 95y to g, but they are now 951

The Railway Share Market has been rather fluc-
tuating, and is weaker for some of the English
lines, in which, however, a fair business is doing.
Foreign shares are rather cheaper, but a good deal
dealt in.
The Gold Mine Shares have been very firm, and
the Land Companies' scarcely so high.
The Australian Bank has advanced.
