MONEY MARKET

AND
CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 American
were taken for export. The market closed heavily
Without alteration in prices. The sales comprised
6,000 American, 160 Perham and Maranham at
6:d. to Bd. ; 70 Bahia at 7d. ; 300 Egyptian at qd.
to Bd., and 500 Surat at 3id. to lid. per lb. Rail-
way Shares were flat, and Lancashire and Yorkshire
bad declined lid. per cent.
The Produce Markets open buoyantly this morn-
ing._

The result of the Colonial Wool Sales may not
prove altogether satisfactory to the shippers in
Australia, because of the reduction of ld. to Lid.
Per lb. compared with the May sales. English
Wools, however, have, since the new clip, receded
in the same proportion, say 11d. per lb.; and look-
ing at the political anxiety that prevailed during
nearly the whole time of the sales, and the wet
Weather, it is strong proof of the soundness of
trade that prices keep up so well.

Scarcely a newspaper has come to hand from Aus-
tralia, but they will be received vid Southampton
in a few days. At Melbourne large supplies of
flour had been received, and prices were lower.
Brandy, wines, and spirits were cheaper, owing to
increased imports.
The funds are very heavy this morning, at the
decline which occurred towards the close of busi-
ness yesterday, upon the rumour that the Bank of
England will further advance its rate of discount
next Thursday, and which is not improbable.

The =flexed paragraphs regarding the debt of
Peru are from a circular just issued by Mr. Hasle-
wood :

" Messrs. Anthony Gibbs and Sons have this day paid
to Messrs. C. and F. Murrietta and Rodulfo the sum of
201,0001., being the balance, for the six months just
ended, of the half of the profists set aside for the bond-
holders, after deducting 52,500/. paid last April for the
dividends.

tees—

" A portion of the remaining balance of 100,009/. will
have to be employed in the purchase and amortization
of the Peruvian Stock.
" Out of the proceeds of the last loan the agents of
Peru paid to Messrs. Baring, as the agents of Chili, the
sum of 391,6661. 13s. 4d., being in liquidation of
52,000,000 due to her, as stated in the prospectus of the
Peruvian 41 per Cent. Loan.
"Peru has yet to arrange her debt due to Old Colom-
bia, now represented by New Grenada, Venezuela, and
Ecuador. Her representat've is at Bogota to settle the
amounts due to these Republics, and thus remove the
only unsettled question open between herself and these
neighbours."
The nature of the advices received by the Mexi-
can Committee, rid New York, is stated in the
subjoined. paragraph :
"The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have had a
letter (vid United States) from Mr. Falconnet, dated
Mexico, the 17th July. He had, on the sth ult., had a
formal interview with his Excellency the President, of
the purport of which the Government had made a com-
munication to the journals, from which the account of it
will be translated and forwarded for publication to-
morrow. Several schemes bad been on the tapis for
making up the amount necessary to pay one dividend at
once, but none of them had as yet met with the appro-
bation of the Minister of Finance."
The foreign securities have been affected prin-
eiPally by the settlement. The Spanish Certificates
are very firm at 6j per cent. Portuguese 4 per
Cents. have been 431 to 44. Mexican Bonds have
been. 27, and Grenada Deferred at 9 Buenos
Ayres Stock is worth 67. The Swedish Loan is 1
premium. Dutch 2 per Cents. are 641 to 65.
The railway market is feeble, and some lines
have given way a little, including Caledonian,
Great Northern, Great Western, and South
Pastern. The London and North Western is
quoted ex. dividend, as well as some two or three
?tilers. Foreign Shares are weaker. A good deal
Is doing in East India Shares.
The Joint Stock Bank Shares have been flatter,
d the Mines are heavy as well as the Land
companies.

11A.MBURGE1.---The accounts from Hamburgh describe
a considerable change in the money market, which
is
likely to react favourably on this side, the recent drain
of specie having in some degree been increased by a de 1
mand from that city for account, as it was supposed, of
the Russian army. The rate of discount had declined to
per cent., and securities of most kinds were advancing.
At the same time the weather was very favourable for
the harvest, and the corn market was extremely dull.
WATER SUPPLY OF FRANCE. The issue of the pro-
spectus of the General Water Company of France was
mentioned on the 11th inst., when it was also stated that
two
the rival companies were in the field. One of these—
the Cit Great Water and Sewerage Company of Paris and
yof France—has published its proposals. The
caPital is to be 2,000,000/., in 200,000 10/. shares, of
which one-half are to be subscribed at presen
t, the num-
ber reserved for England being 50,000, with a stipula-
ion that the deposit of 2/. per share shall be returned
ri full if no concession should be obtained.
The dis-
Motive feature of this company is its plan of combining
Vlith the water supply the means of carrying it off,
