MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

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 and on speculation. The
market was animated, and closed steadily, without
alteration in prices. The sales comprised 5,500
American ; 600 Pernam and Maranham, at Gad. ;
200 Egyptian, at 61d. to Bd.; and 400 Surat, at
31d. to 4/d. per lb. Railway Shares were steady.
The business in produce this week has been
steady, and prices have generally been sustained.
Coffee is still rather inactive compared to other
articles. Tea is not so firm, and there is a falling
off in the purchases. Cotton has been quiet ; and
in spices not much has been done. Tallow has
been inactive at advanced rates, and there have
been moderate purchases in rum, saltpetre, and
jute.

The following statement upon the condition of
the Manchester market is by Messrs. M`Nairn,
Greenhow, and Irving :
_

" The movement of this market since the date of our
last monthly circular, and up to that of the present, has
been of a very fluctuating and changeable character,
owing mainly to almost daily rumours connected with
the political disturbances between Russia and Turkey,
which still remains unadjusted, and which, in the
opinion of many, were likely to eventuate in actual hos-
tilities- —even by a still greater number was considered
improbable, as being opposed to the influence of Euro-
pean civilisation—nevertheless, the possibility of such an
event has created distrust, limited the general operations
of trade, and influenced considerably the value of money
and of public securities. Next in importance we may
notice the influence attaching to the unfavourable ac-
counts which have come to hand from Bombay and Cal-
cutta, as to the unremunerative condition of those
markets, and to the operation and progress of the civil
war in China, which has brought business to a compara-
tive stand-still at some of the most important seaports.
And, lastly, to the season of the year, when no great
amount of activity is ever calculated upon, and to the
uncertainty which still continues between employers
and operatives as to the result of the claims of the latter
for advanced wages. Many of these are now out of
employment, with every probability of their number
being generally, throughout this district, in a short
while considerably augmented. Producers—manufac-
turers and spinners we more especially refer to—in the
meantime refuse to commit themselves to the performance
of contracts for stipulated periods. Notwithstanding the
operations of these combined and adverse influences, and,
as a natural consequence, the comparatively adverse in-
active character of the market during the month, from
previously existing contracts, and purchases during that
period for actual wants—for such they must be consi-
dered—a vast amount of property has passed from the
seller to the buyer, unequalled probably in amount to
that for the same month in any year which we re-
member."

The steamer Magdalena brings nearly a million
of dollars in specie, and it is stated but a small
amount for the Mexican dividend.

At the London Dock meeting to-day the report
was adopted, and a dividend of 21 per cent. for the
0 months was declared.

Public Securities have been rather flatter, and
there is nothing further to guide the speculators.
Consols have been quoted 988 The New 31 per
Cents. have been 101 k to / and the 3 per Cents.
99 to Bank Stock is steady at 2281. Exche-
quer Bills are quiet at 55., and Indian Bonds at
275. to 325. pm.
Foreign Securities have been dull and without
any material change. Mexican Bonds bring 27/
and Brazilian 41 per Cents. are quiet at 981.
In Danish 5 per Cents. there have been bargains
at 106 to 1061. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 961. The
Swedish loan is nearly up to par. Spanish Deferred
have been done at 228 ex dividend.
The Railway Share Market has been in a most
dormant condition, and prices are weaker. Bristol
and Exeter have been 1/. lower, Lancashire and
Yorkshire are down 10s., North Western I-, and
most of the others in proportion. French shares
are neglected.
The Joint-Stock Bank Shares are nominally a
shade lower, and the Land Companies much the
same. Gold Mines have again relapsed into a very
quiet position.

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.

ALLSOPP AND OTHERS V. COOMBES AND ANOTHER.-THE
EAST INDIA PALE ALE-INJUNCTION.

Mr. Giffard moved for an injunction to restrain the
defendant George Coombes, who is by trade a bottler,
and occasionally acts as agent for brewers and others,
and the other defendant, who is a beer-merchant, carry-
ing on business under the style of "J. H. Fraser and
C 0.," at the Coal Exchange, in Lower Thames-street,
from selling and labelling as and for "Allsopp's pale ale,"
an article of a spurious character, which never formed
any part of the plaintiff's stock. From the affidavits,
upon which the motion was made, it appeared that
the plaintiff's brewery is at Burton-upon-Trent, and
that this celebrated ale is forwarded from there to all
parts of the world. The agent for the sale of the plain-
tiff's ale in London, and within 15 miles in every direc-
tion from the Post-office, is Mr. Oscar Leslie Stephen, who
on the 7th June inst., having been informed that a quantity
of ale in bottles, with labels purporting to be the plaintiff's
ale, had been offered for sale to a person named William
King, by the defendant, George Coombes, requested
King to obtain a sample of the ale. King did so, and
upon the ale being tested, it was found to be a spurious
article. One of the plaintiffs, Thos. Poyser, who super-
intends the brewing department, deposed that the ale
sampled was of a very inferior character, and not
an article of the plaintiff's manufacture. In order
to make the case clear against the defendants, King
was requested to order two hundred dozen of this
ale, which was supplied by Fraser and Co., Coombes
acting as bottler and agent in the transaction. The de-
fendant, Fraser, was paid for the ale, and Coombes for
the expenses attending the bottling, &c. The learned
counsel stated that this species of deception was being
practised upon the public to a very serious extent, and
required the prompt interference of the court, not only
for the protection of the plaintiffs, but that of the
public.
His Honour said that a proper case had been made
out for an injunction. He had no hesitation in direct-
ing it to issue.—lnjunction granted accordingly.
