Ida aid —4 CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was
steady. Sales 4,000 bales.—Railway Shares were not
quite so good, but there was a moderate demand.
Late on Saturday afternoon it was announced, in the
'City. that two additional failures had occurred—one a
firm of eminence, acting in all extensive way, Messrs.
Sargaat, Gordon, and Co., and Messrs. Leaf, Barnett,
Scotson, and Co., of Wood street, wholesale warehouse-
men. These additional disasters, especially the former,
created much sensation in the City this morning, most
of the merchants having left town before the fact of the
failures was generally known. The first-named firm
has extensive communications with the West India, Bast
India, and Ceylon trades. A very good dividend is fully
calculated upon.
It was calculated upon as a certainty that the Direc-
tors of the Bank of England would have reduced the
rates of discount to 6k or 6 per cent., but as yet no
confirmation of the rumour, however it may be desired,

can I.e given.
The state of the Corn Market has been somewhat
buoyant, at an improvement of from 15. to 2s. per
quarter. It is confidently expected that prices will
continue to advance.
The Public Securities have been very buoyant this
morning. Consols for the Account have advanced to
within a fraction of 86. For Money the rise has been
most marked, viz., from 848 to 85i, buyers. There
have teen some very good purchases made to•day in
mon. y stock. Exchequer-bills have advanced from 2s.
discount to par, and East India Bonds from 30e. to 20s.
discount.

In the Foreign Bond Market, Russian Stock has
advanced from 1051 to 106 k; Spanish Five per Cents-
have been done a shade better, but the Three per
Cents., after having opened at 29k, receded to 281 for
the Account. The Brazilian Five per Cent. Bonds were
sold at 791, Mexican at 151, the Belgian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 90-11; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 544, and the Four per Cent. Certificates
at 831 1.
The Caledonian Railway Shares have realised 35 to
35k; Eastern Counties, 16* -a; Great North of Eng-
land, 224 226; Great Western, 15 to 16 premium; Great
Northern, 6 to 5:1 discount ; London, Brighton, &c.,
421 ; Midland Counties, 108 to 110 ; the South-Eastern
and Dover, 29i to 30 ; and York and North Midland,
74 t,, 76. The Share Marks' appears rather more firm
to-day.
