The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,500 American
and 300 Surat were taken for export. The market
was very animated and closed without alteration
in prices. The sales comprised 8,000 American,
200 Pernam and Maranham at 60. to Bd. ; 50
Bahia at bid. ; 600 Egyptian at 6-gd. to 9d., and
1,000 Surat at 31d. to 41d. per b. Railway Shares
were flat at rather lower prices.
The six weeks' average price of wheat is 455. Bd.
Per quarter, and the last week's sales are 90,736
quarters.

The accounts from St. Petersburgh would appear
to be more favourably construed, as the speculators
in tallow are manifesting some uneasiness. Prime
yellow candle sorts are fering freely this morning
for October and December delivery, with few
buyers, at 51s. 3d. to 51s. 6d. per cwt.
The accounts from New York represent the stock
Market as being quiet but steady. The value of
Merchandise imported last month was 15,631,842
dols., against 10,030,354 dols. during the same
Month last year, showing an increase of more than
IQ per cent. The exports during the same period
are valued at 8,825,122 dols., against 7,530,818
dols. in the same month last year. Gold and silver
entered to the extent of 4,418,537 dols., of which
18,633 dols. were in silver, 5,932 dols. in gold,
and 4,393,972 dols. in gold dust. In June, last
Year, the total was 4,634,586 dols. The return
for the month of the United States Mint shows the
deposits of Californian gold to have been 4,473,000
dols., and from all other sources 60,000 dols. Sil-
ver bullion was deposited to the value of 678,000
dols: The gold coinage exceeded four and three-
quarter millions, more than one-half of which was
in bars, and about one million in gold dollars and
quarter eagles. The silver coinage was 650,000
dols., one-half of which was in half-dollars. The
total, coinage last month was 2,658,701 dols. 32
cents..

and there is again rather a fuller supply of stock.

options to some amount, an influential party
giving 1 3-16th for 100,0001. Consols have been
