COMMERCIAL 'fiIirpJ.T.TGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.

Tho Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, at the full currency of last week. Tho sales
amounted to 6,00 J bales, 500 for export, and
1,000 on speculation, comprising 200 Pernam and
Maranham, 6-ad. to Bd. ; 120 Bahia Gid. to Gad. ;
100 Egyptian, Gad. to Kd. ; 300 Surats, 42d. to
sd. ; and 100 Sea Islands, 11d, to ls. 2d. per lb.
The Railway Share Market was extremely dull,
and prices were a shade lower than on Monday,
with little or no business doing.
Accounts from the principal grain markets in
France report a general decline in prices, including
that of Marseilles, where, notwithstanding the con-
tinued large arrivals of grain from the shores of the
Mediterranean and the Black Sea, there has been
scarcely any alteration in the prices for some time
past. Advices of the 6th inst. announce that the
quotations have given way under the pressure of
the excessive supplies in the market, 45,000 hecto •
litres having arrived from the Sea of Azoff, and
25,000 do. from Odessa. The imports of grain,
chiefly wheat, from the Danube and the Turkish
provinces during the month of August, at the most
moderate calculation, could not have been less than
1,500,000 hectolitres. While the imports from
Russia and Turkey have been increasing, those
from Africa have decreased, and the best qualities
of wheat from thence have been scarce in the mar-
ket. To show that the variation in this kind of
grain has been very limited, it is mentioned that
the quotations before the recent decline were 43f.
per hectolitre for ordinary qualities, and are now firm
at 42f. per ditto. The Government have been re-
ceiving large quantities of oats returned from the
Crimea.

The advanoe made in the rate of discount by
the Bank of Prussia has been followed by a similar
measure by nearly all the banks in Germany. The
Banks of Leipsic, Frankfort, and Brunswick have
already enhanced their terms for discount accom-
modation. It is evident the demand for money on
the continent generally is becoming very active.
The amount of bills drawn by the Hon. East
India Company during the last fortnight on the
three presidencies was 44,0901. 6s. Bd.

A further arrival of 64,000 ounces of gold, valued
at 256,0001., from Australia, has been announced
this morning. Advices from Melbourne to the
26th June have also been received.
The settlement of the Consol account has been
in progress, and the charge for " carrying over"
is still about it per cent. The tone of the market
has rather improved, but the transactions are
limited. Rather more favourable accounts have
been received from the Paris Bourse, and these, to-
gether with the specie arrival referred to above, have
.exercised a beneficial influence on prices. At the
same time any buoyancy is checked by the fear
that money will continue dear, and that the Direc
tors of the Bank of England may be compelled
before long to raise the minimum quotation. Con-
sols for money have been 941 i, and for the Bth
proximo 94i to 95. The New Three per Cents.
have been specially transferred at 95i. Ex-
chequer Bills are Is. lower, viz., 13s. to 16s.
premium, and the Bonds 100 to 1001.
Foreign Stocks are generally supported at pre-
vious rates. Turkish 4 per Cents. are 1038 I.
Spanish New Deferred are 25k, and the Cer-
tificates si. Mexican are steady at 221 1. Por-
tuguese 4 per Cents. 491, and Dutch 2i per Cents.
65 to 65k.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7i to 71;
Mexican, 22i to 221 ; Peruvian, 80 to 82 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 58 to 59 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
45i to 46i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 to 110 ;
ditto 4ii per Cents., 98 to 100 ; Spanish 3 per
Cents., 44 to 45i ; ditto New Deferred, 25 251;
ditto Passive, 6i to 7.

In the Railway Shares the alterations are not
very important. Caledonian ; Edinburgh, Perth,
and Dundee ; Lancashire and Yorkshire ; and
Midland, have been lower ; and the general ap-
pearance of the market is heavy. The French are
rather firmer ; and the Colonial remain steady.
Rigas are 1 prem.

Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares have
been dull, but generally firm. Provincial Bank of
Ireland Shares have risen to 11. to 1/. ss.

The Frankfort Bank has raised its rate of discount
from 4 per cent. to 5 per cent. This step, as was the
case with the Banks of Belgium and Prussia, has been
resorted to on account of the large exportation of silver ;
but it can have little effect in arresting the drain.
The Spanish Financial Commis4on have advertised
an auction of the foreign redeemable debt to take place
at Madrid, for which purpose 589,725 reals have been
assigned by the Government.
The amount paid into the treasury of the East India
House for bills on India from the 26th of August to the
9th of September was 44,0991.

death, will, we bear, be reserved for Sir Henry Bulwer,
after he shall have returned from his present temporary
employment in the Principalities.
The Hamburg advices describe a renewal of the prey-
' sure for money, the rate of discount baying again risen to
7 per cent.
