MONEY MARKET

AND

COAIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,.00°
American were taken for export and on 1
speculatiq.
The market closed heavily, but without change n„
prices. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 15u
Bahia, at 60. to 61-d., 250 Egyptian, at 51d. to
70., 500 Surat, at 21d. to 31d.,%,nd 50 Sea Island,
at is. 6d. to 2s. 9d. per lb. Railway shares were
rather firmer.

The corn market is dull this morning.
The steamer Africa brings 500 000 dollars fro°,
New York, but as the exchangeon London sort'
declining, a curtailment of future specie iroP°.rb:
from America is probable. Money was gettulb
easier at New York.
The clipper ship Indian Queen has arrived at,
Liverpool from Australia, but her letters are 11°:
yet in town. The steamer Victoria ought to arrive
in a week or fortnight with September accounts. t
The ndvices from the Continent report no gr°Bo
change in the mercantile markets, but the Pc
of food appears to be declining. to
A pamphlet on Railway Dangers, and how
avoid them, by Mr. William Peters, gives many
hints to passengers as to the proper mode of aott
upon particular emergencies, especially whe'.
trains are brought to a stand-still ; and as so nian);
City men travel by express trains daily, and ,
years in succession, their perusal will be useful"
because the result of experience.
The fact that on Saturday the remaining portion
of the 800,0001. obtained by the Russian Govern'
went through the disposal of its Exchequer 811
was shipped off, excites much interest because
paves the way, as is thought, for a new loan• s
already, and in the commencement of the war,
scarcity of money is experienced at St. Petersburtt
it may be readily comprehended that no vigor°,
measures can be prosecuted without a much larg.;

may appear absurd, in the view of many Pers,°Pit
to think of borrowing for Russia at the time se.

cuniary resources of Russia are limited, they wat,illit

they look to the fact that Russian Five per let

Another motive for subscribing would be that
