There was a steady market for Cotton at Livepool
yesterday; the sales were estimat,,cl at about 8,000 bales,
includieg 2,000 American, for export and on speculation.
Prices remain with alteration.—The market for Railway
Shares was heavy, and prices had a downward tendency.
The corn trade is dull to-day.
It is curious that, despite the splendid character of
the present harvest weather, there are doubts of the yield
of wheat being more than an average. Whether this view
be correct we are unable to say, but it is so stated in
communications from Kent, and likewise from Norfolk,
as the following extract, dated Norwich, will show:—
" Trade is much as usual, the present price of corn
being in its favour, but I fear that next year we shall see
it otherwise, for I never knew a late harvest, particularly
with such weather—heavy mildewing weather—as we
have here now, and have had for a considerable time, to
be otherwise than deficient. I have watched the grow-
ing crops closely, and notwithstanding the general asser-
tion that the crops are looking well, yet from my own
observation, confirmed as it is by the opinion of many
practical men with whom I have conversed on the sub-
ject, I am quite convinced that the quantity of wheat to
go to market, from the present growing crop, will be
below an average. I think far below, but I won't say
so—and the quality, if even we should get quantity,
must be bad. The root crops promise well, and in no
way warrant the advance in Oilcake and Linseed.
Our Grain Market here is heavy, but good Wheat
cannot be bought at lower figures. The farmers
have none, neither have the millers or mer-
chants. We have lately had a few parcels of foreign
wheat into Yarmouth, which have been eagerly taken
by the trade, to prepare them for harvest and the new
wheats."

We shall have in any case plentiful supplies of foreign
grain to moderate prices a little, though our farmers
will probably see the fallacy of apprehending very low
pricey.

The Continental advices received to-day state
that at Amsterdam, on the 6th instant, the Two-
and. a- Half per Cents. were 52k, and at Vienna
on the 3d the Five per Cents. were 93f to lA. The
Paris Bourse improved at the opening, but receded
a little subsequently, although the Sardinian question is
now positively reported to be finally settled. The truth
appears to be, that at Paris, as here, business is exceed-
ingly dull, and this is the main cause of the existing
flatness.

Her Majesty's ship Calypso, which left Valparaiso on
the 28th May, for Rio and England, has in bullion
2,850,000 dollars on board.

The English Funds have been lower this morning,
both for money and account, and it is manifest that
parties are anxious to leave town without leaving any-
thing " open." Consols have been 923-4, and are now
92111. The New Three-and-a-Quarter por Cents. have
rea►ised 931 to 93k; and the Reduced Three per Cents.

The Foreign market shares in part the flatness of
home securities. Spanish Three per Cents. are 34} ft
and the Five per Cents. 188. to 19. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been 204 to 291 Brazilian Stock is
854, and Buenos Ayres 51 to 52k. Mexican is steady

cent., for three years, or at four-and-a-half per cent.,

per cent. per annum. York and North Midland—Loans
on debentures, for a term of three or five years, in sums
of not less than 1,0001., at a rate of interest not exceed-
ing 4i per cent. per annum."
The Railway Seam Market continues flat, and, as far
as we can learn, without any ascertainable cause beyond
the paucity of business. The report certainly is that
some of the great companies will announce at the next
meetings a probable future reduction of dividends, butthis may be mere hearsay. East Indians are still 111
favour, being 4to 4.k. Aberdeen are firmer, and Paris
and Rouen also.
