The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
'with more animation, and prices of all descriptions
mere very firm. The sales were estimated at
15)000
bales, 2,000 of which were taken by ex-
porters, and 6,000 by the speculators. The Railway
hare Market was very active.
The weekly trade report from Paris states that
the restrictions of the Bank in refusing to discount
Commercial paper over 60 days, continue to depress
mercantile transactions, and business which had
been previously dull is now still more so, and is
felt
very much at this time of the year, when the
vreParations for the winter season generally create
activity amongst the manufacturers and retailers.
4.11 this state of affairs the merchants of Paris have
tFlhigned a document addressed to the directors of
c Bank, requesting them at the very earliest
OPPortunity to re-establish the measure of discount-
ing bills at 90 days. The effects of this resolution
°,,f the Bank act more directly on the operations of
the manufacturersmanufacturers and retailers. The one has in
ecneequence to limit the production of his works,
4114 the other abstains from new purchases until
the bank establishes the ordinary terms of dis-
(°lint• Orders for merchandise from the United
States and South America continue to arrive, but
there is almost nothing doing with England and
hrhe Continental States. The monetary crisis
Continental
Europe appears to have restrained all
ecimmercial operations with France. At last the
attingency of the money markets has caused a
d
celine in the prices of silks, both raw and manu-
factured ; and this is likely to continue, as there
are many of the speculators in this article realising
their operations.
The intelligence brought from America by the
relative
mentions that the advices received out
to the increasing tightness of the English
and continental money markets had given some dis-
ea°llragement to the stock operations in New York,
11'a the quotations of State Securities and Railway
Bonds had consequently ruled heavy. There was
u
active demand for money, and the confident
lectation of continued large exports of specie to
this country, in discharge of a heavy balance of
trade)tio precluded the hope of any immediate relaxa-
th For mercantile purposes also, as usual at
at season of the year, the inquiry for accommo-
da'c'a was increasing. La
tor accounts have been received by this oppor-
fav 11 from California. These are generally
ef:lirable, especially with regard to the progress
isa2dlnilling. Trade also appears to have greatly
etoved.
The
k exports of the precious metals last week
mounted to 536,0001., including the sum on board
ledi lid") which leaves Southampton to-day for
14 a and China. The following are the particu-
ts of
the quantity taken out by this vessel :

private advices received from Paris this morn-
the report a slight change for the better in
the general aspect of monetary affairs, although
Mill 11 Pressure for discount accommodation is
to
severe. It is evident that a more cheerful
te—ing prevails, which, supposing the crisis to have
ached its height, will do much to accelerate
restoration of confidence. Hoarding is not being
ttried on to such au extent as previously, the
eculative demand for silver, owing to the inter-
ferencev of the Government, is checked, and the
extended coinage of gold pieces, have all tended to
;14'111 the feelings of apprehension which of late
have been so loudly expressed. With regard
t the Money Market here no material change
noticeable, but at the same time it may be re-
marked that the inquiry, both at the Bank of
England
and in Lombard-street, is rather less
active. No alteration has occurred in the rates,
Lilt many are of opinion that the Directors will
Speedily renew their advances on Government
Securities.

Although the transactions in the market for
Dublic securities to-day have not been very nu-
merous there is r.n improved feeling and an ad-
"lance of about per cant. has taken place. Some
anxiety is manifested to ascertain whether
the Bank of England directors will renew
advances on stock. If this were resolved
!Pon there can be no doubt but that a further ma-
terial improvement would ensue. Consols for
transfer have been 911 to 92, and 92 to 92 41- * For _
