CITY, Two o'CLoci,..
The. Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday ma-
nifested a steady though quiet aspect, closing
flatly, however, at a decline of fully id. per lb.
en American. Other kinds without change. The
sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500 of which
were taken by the exporters, and 500 by the
speculators. The Railway Share Market cloSed
quietly, and prices were a shade lower than those
current on Wednesday.
Accounts from Berlin state that the fall which
has occurred is the principal continental wool
Markets, in consequence of the monetary crisis, has
not been felt there yet. However, the market is
dull, and exhibits a tendency to decline. For the
present the few transactions which occur are closed
at September prices. The manufacturers appear to
be holding on until the wool-fair at Frankfort-on-
the-
Maine, but still they must come into the mar-
ket to obtain supplies for their current wants. The
arrivals at the commencement of the month are
more than usually happens in Nov., diminished
partly by the August and September sales. The
stocks on hand have not been increased as in former

Who have entered into contracts for this year's clip
complain of the lateness of the season, and where
a greater quantity was expected they are not more
considerable than they were last year. In the
provinces the contracts have been active for the
next crop at an advance of 5 to 8 thalers per quin-
tal. The greater part of the Prussian wools have I
already been sold.
In the markets for Foreign and Colonial produce
this week a smaller business has been transacted,
the dearness of money occasioning a limitation of
purchases,nearly

Of saltpetre there has been scarcely any on offer,
and a rise of is. to 2s. per cwt. has consequently

clined. Tallow has been dull, and is. to 2s. per
cwt. cheaper.

Another New Joint Stock Company of an exceed-
TglY useful character has just been brought before
hpublic, viz., the British Candle Company,
e capital required is 200,0001., and the pro-
Meters, who have purchased the works of the
British Sperm Candle Company, and of Ban-
"! en'a Patent Candle Company, calculate upon
aeeuring for the proprietors an ample return on the
nnbscribed capital. From an estimate made it is
shown that a clear profit of 20 or 22 per cent. can
be earned if the concern is judiciously managed,
fas there can be no doubt that the article manu-
actured will command extensive patronage. The
Investing public will do well to participate in such
USeful undertakings as this, where a return in the
'1141)a tof dividends can be immediately insured,
raher than embark in foreign enterprise of a
doubtful description.
A meeting of the Northern Counties Union
failway Company has just been held. The ques-
%ion was as to dividing the 9,0001. in hand, and
;yin, ding up the company, or to await the sale of
/ne line to some other company, It was agreed
by a majority to leave the concern in existence
still longer, with a view to its disposal for the
benefit of the shareholders.
