CITY, Two o'Cnocx,
`The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
f imply, but prices were F al(l w
not actually higher. The
L,OO aere 10,000 bales, 1,500 .bales for export and
oon speculation, comprising 100 Pernam and •
Maaanham, 61d to 71d. ; 200 Bahia, 6 7-16 d ; 300 AUPtian, 6ed. to 9d. ; 400 Surat, 4d. to 42d.; and
12%) Sea Islands, 11d. to is. 7d. per lb. In the
22'7
Sha re Market the transactions were limited, but !6
pricos were steaekitat the full rates of Tuesday, and
dt,
in so.oae cases at an advance.
St. Acc:ouats fro- al France contain the official report. so
on the result o f the great annual mercantile fair at 5,,g
Beaucaire, whi ,ch closed ou the 31st of last month. I 20
Compared wit' 1 previous fairs, the extent of opera- ig
1
tions has not been so great, nor the results so 50
satisfactory, v rhich is attributed solely to the dis-
~.Zs,_.
tress created by the recent inundations, in the z
vicinity of w hich the fair was held. The articles St.
mentioned lin the report, of most interest, are t•
wool and r silk. At the beginning of the fair 25
there was a small supply of wool brought
.t... for sale, aad at that period the manufacturers 150/
were shor'b of the raw material, consequently it F#.
came to r, good market and realised high prices ; V)
but towr .rds the close of the fair, there were large 20
1111312ther1, and rates were affected by the exports n.
front o,ther markets, so that the general result was -13-I'.
mu oh the same as last year, and averaged 6 francs
_St t. per kilo. for merinoes, 4f. 70c. for metis, and 3f.
iet.
25c. for inferior ; the choice kinds of merinoes Bf., st.
and. ditto lambs Bf. 50c. In silk there was an gt.
active business doingduring the fair, and the stocks .
Brought for sale were not sufficient for the demand. 12
to a
The average prices were for Doupion's threads, 38

39 fr. per kilo., Vacluse silks, 105 to 106, and St.

. have been received u
from New Yip' lc by the steamer Lebanon, which It
has arrived wit h $150,000 in specie. Business in ;
Cotton is dewribed as having been very dull, 1(
buyers having refused. to operate except at lower IV prices. Flour had risen in value, and large pur- 1
chases had bee al made for shipment to Europe. .
Freights consequently ruled firm. In speculative ;
securities the dealings were exceedingly limited, 1
and quotatier,s therefore were heavy ; no improvel
-
ment expectfad for some time to come, as many of the leading dealers were absent from the City
taking their customary summer holiday.
The International Coasting Company (the pro- I
spectus of which has appeared in our advertising
columns) i s attracting attention among the invest-
ing public;, as the prospects of the undertaking are
of a promising character. It is proposed to raise a
capital 0441. 320,000/. for the purpose of supplying
steam communication along the whole seaboard of
the continent, "where," as the promoters state,
" trading operations are now carried on by small
sailing ships, Which are quite unsuited to the pre-
sent necessities of commerce." There are to be
committees of supervision in France, London,
Southampton, and Belgium ; and there can be no
doubt that, if properly managed, the earnings will
Yield a high rate of interest on the subscribed
capital.
The Directors of the Riga and Dunaburg Com-
pany have very Ixoperly submitted all the docu-
ments relating to the undertaking to the committee
of the Stock Excliange who, after carefully inves-
tigating their contents, will, no doubt pass an
opinion on their value. It will then be seen
whether they have justified the views set forth by
the Directors, wb,o, it is said, are still confident of
obtaining those
the- p rivileges which were spoken of in
the original prospectus. Pending the decision of
Stock Exchalage Committee, it is unadvisable
to give credence to the various statements now in
circulation with regard-to this affair.
No change has been made in the Bank of Eng-
land minimum rate
Marketof discount, and the Money
continues tight at the current quotations.
Some parties ima
b gined that an advance would have
een' announced, but the increased inquiry for
money noticed during the last two or three days
has not been sufficiently serious to justify such a
measure. When the settlement at the Stock Ex-
btange la over and a renewal of 'specie receipts
takes Place the market will probably assume an
for asier appearance,, but it is likely that the demand
agricultural purposes, and the payment of
"calls" on account of capital on the new joint-
stock
undertaking., will tend to maintain the pre- sent quotations for discount accommodation.
. At a meeting ot! the London and County Bank,
half•
held this day, a dividend of 5 per cent. for the
year, free from income tax, upon the paid-up
capital of the Bank, leaving a balance of 10,8191.
166. Td. to be carried forward to the next account,
was unanimously agreed to.
