AND
CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
'llmilraated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 Amen-
lan taken on speculation. The market was heavy
lut closed steadily at previous rates. The sales
teruprised 5,500 American, 250 Pernam and Mar-
fliham at bid. to 71d, 200 Egyptian at 6id. to 9d.,
Sri d 1,000 Surat at 21d. to 4d. per lb. Railway

'Peak, and closed at a decline of 1 per cent.
The progress of the indigo auctions up to yes-
lerday evening, is thus described by Messrs. H. W.
tewesbnry and Co.
"11 catalogue commenced yesterday. Previous prices
lave been fully maintained, and strong support was
iven by holders but the sale went off flatly ; 2,244
nests passed, of which 848 were withdrawn, 796 bought
it. and 600 sold. Total passed, 7,488 chests to last
mening, inclusive.'
As a remarkable illustration of the suddenness
''ith which a check may be imparted to any par-
' ieular branch of business supposed to have been
ether carried to an excess, we may mention that

We are aware that re-shipments of flour have been

foods, Which arrived sour—and which are sent back to

:lone fitted.
Prom the tenor of our own letters, and the infor-
aation we gather from those most likely to be best in-
)rmed, the orders for goods continue to arrive from the
olony by every opportunity, and in enormous quarti-
les, so that we do not at all expect any permanent fall
reights." •
The Tallow Market has advanced 6d. per cwt.
his morning, in consequence of the more unfavour-
ible political news. P.Y.C. is 595. on the spot ;
18s. all the year ; and 595. for January and March.
The Board of Trade have issued a notice to ships'
'captains respecting cholera, and the necessity of
precautions from over-crowding, dirt, and want of
Ventilation.

In the English Stock Market there has been a
good deal doing, principally for money, and there
has been a change in this respect, the supply
cf money stock appearing to be larger than
was expected. The bankers who were believed to
have sold some time back may probably yet deliver
on the settling day. To-morrow is a strict holiday
with the Jews ; and this, with the " options '
coming off, will, doubtless have an influence. There
is, in fact, the greatest difficulty in ascertaining
whether the account is now bullish or bearish.
