MOINEI anti Coligie—hilutAt, "41 If:
CITY- QUARTF I? TO THREE'.
The demand for Cotton at Liverpooi yesterday con-
tinued pretty active, and the full rates of yesterday
were supported. The sales reached 6,000 bales, includ-
ing 1,000 for export and speculation. Among the trans-
actions wore 5,000 American, 100 Bahia at 4-7 d. to 5(1.,
and 300 Surat at 2d. to 3d.
The latest accounts from Vienna are via Paris, and
extend to the evening of the 25th, when no berubardmel4
had occurred. We learn, however, by private letters,
that nearly all the wealthier inhabitants had left. In one
division of National Guards, counting 200 men, only
16 were left. The impression is still strong that the
town will not be bombarded.
From Paris we are still advised of a flat Bourse, al-
though in the Assembly a favourable statement was
made concerning the revenue, both by M. Goudchaux
and M. TrouveChavel. The trading community was
doing as badly as ever.
The accounts from India have excited considerable
interest, though there is very littlo apprehension, and
the result is deemed certain to be in our favour. The
report upon the commercial markets is still of rather a
cheering character, and we trust may not be affected by
the renewal of hostilities.
The American mail, per Cambria, states that the stock
market had been heavy. Exchange on London 8i to 9
per cent, premium, and on Paris 5 20 to 224. The de-
crease of specie in some of the New York banks was be-
coming material, owing to the exports to Europe, but
these are not likely to continue, and there are anticipa-
tions of return shipments of bullion from England ere
long. The position of the American money market at
the latest date is thus described .
" The assistant treasurer of the Government in this
city has again accumulated a large amount of specie.
The deposits sum up two and a half millions of dollars.
On the 27th inst. one and a half millions of this will be
disgorged, and if the imports fall off as anticipated, there
will be no further accumulation. Last week the duties
amounted to 321,674 dolls. 83c., and the drafts on the Trea-
sury to 371,396 dolls. 43c.; showing a reduction of 49,721
dolls. 60c. Several of the banks have made their returns
for September 30th, and show an increase in the line of
discounts and a decrease in the specie department ; but
it is impossible to draw any inference from the few re-
ports made. There appears to be a little more ease in
the money market, but not sufficient to affect prices for
stocks or any description of merchandize, but sufficient
to give a little more confidence, and a little more hope for
permanent relief sometime hence. Flour and wheat are
firm."

From Canada we learn that there was no change in
flour at Montreal on the 10th ult. Ashes were in good
demand and rising.
The accounts of the crops in New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia are not satisfactory, and the prospects of
the poor settlers who depended chiefly upua potatoes
were precarious. _ _ _

The contract for supplying the troops at Halifax
with flour had been taken at 265. 4d. sterling per barrel.
The market for corn is firm to-day in Mark-lane.
The first of November is observed as a holiday in the
Stock Exchange, because the half-yearly balancing of
books takes place at the Bank of England. There are,
however, a few parties in attendance at the sub-
scription rooms, and by them Consols are quoted
lower, viz., 8b L the pretext being the Indian
news; but we attach very little reliance to non-official
statements.

The Share Market is closed, but the quotations are
said to be lower, orders to sell having been received from
Liverpool, &e. There must, however, be a great

reserve in receiving these statements, because many
of ' the speculators, being inclined yet to get down
the market, have engaged to deliver the shares
they have sold, and will depend upon the pro-
bable inclination of the public to realise at the ad•
vanced rates. We need hardly caution parties that the
market will give way directly sales are pressed, and
therefore even those who want money should wait a
while, and not play into the hands of those who seek to
profit by their losses. It is impossible that without a
supply from the public the shares sold on speculation
can be delivered, but " real" orders to sell would soon
alter the case. The Sun has done much to expose
these matters, that this further warning and advice
will doubtless be appreciated, the more so as we give it
after many years of practical experience and diligent at-
tention to the ins and outs of Stock Exchange dabbling.
There have been some excellent buyers of shares within
the last few days, and the market would have attracted
them two or three months since, if the directors, as
then urged, had made the same statements as
they do now. No wonder that many should in-
sinuate that interested parties wished to buy
up at low prices. En passant we may mention that the
Weekly Railway List will be continued, but not under
the sanction of the Stock Exchange Committee, nor
in connexion with Mr. Slaughter, the secretary to the
railway department of that establishment. Shareholders,
therefore, may yet need the advocacy and watchfulness
of the press.

North-Western are said to ho 115 to 117, North
Staffordshire 5 to 6 discount, and others i❑ propor-
tion; but we prefer giving none of these non-otlicial
prices, as we cannot check them.
