COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
heavily, but prices of all kinds were without any
material change. The sales were estimated at
5,000 bales-500 for export and 500 on specula-
tion—comprising 240 Pernam and Maranham,
bid. to 70. ; 30 Bahia, 61d. ; 100 Egyption,
to lid. ; and 500 Surat, 4id. to 51d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market closed at an improvement.

Accounts from Paris report very little variation
in the state of trade during the last week. The
manufacturers continue to receive a sufficint num-
ber of orders to keep their workmen employed. Of
these the greatest number are from Russia, for
articles of dress and luxury, to be delivered by the
end of July, preparatory to the coronation of the
Emperor. The United Staes purchase very little,
and the advices from New York report a glut of
French merchandise in that market. The demands
for the interior of France are less than usual this
week, on account of the inundation, which has
exercised a depressing influence upon the country
manufacturers. At Lyons most of the silk manu-
facturers had to stop their works during the floods.
Advices from Galatz report an improved state of
trade in the grain market there and at other ports
on the Danube, in consequence of the accounts of
a rise in prices at Marseilles. Those who had con-
tracted for wheat at 106 paras per kilogramme,
will realise a good profit, as the same contracts
could not be closed on the 23d May under 114
paras—these prices are respectively at the rate of
17s. sd. and 18s. 7d. per quarter. Freights con-
tinued low, on account of the number of small
vessels waiting for cargo. Rates for the Mediter-
ranean with maize stood at 10s., with 30 to 35
days' credit. Exchange in London from 954- to 96
paras. s s s

- 'The arrival of the Asia from New York has been
telegraphed from Liverpool, with 760,395 dols.
and 2601. Her advices are awaited with consider-
able anxiety by all classes of the business comma,-
nity, and especially by the speculators in public
securities. The corn trade is of course to some
extent under the influence of the Central
American Question, and to this subject the
rise which has taken place in the market this morn-
ing, namely, 2s. to 3s. per quarter, may in some
degree be ascribed, although the inundations in
Prance have no doubt assisted the movement.
The cotton trade does not at present seem to have
been affected, a belief being expressed in this, as
in every other branch of business, that an amica-
ble adjustment of the dispute will ultimately take
place.

The Australian advices telegraphed from Trieste
are deemed highly encouraging, both in a financial
and commercial point of view ; for while the ba-
lance of trade was in favour of the colony, and the
markets generally were in a favourable condition,
the yield and shipments of the precious metal
Were larger than ever. The immense remittances
on the way to this country, and which are likely to
continue, cannot fail to exercise a beneficial influ-
ence on our Money Market. The social state of
Melbourne appears to have improved, and the
supply of labour, which was recently superabun-
dant, is now described as inadequate.
From India the intelligence is less encouraging,
Money being tight, and trade consequently dull.
The Brazilian mail reports business affairs in
Buenos Ayres to have been healthy at the latest
date.

The annual meeting of the Bank of Australasia
Was held to-day. The report stated that the net
profit of the year was 196,4201. 183. 9d. The ba-
lance at the credit of profit and loss on 15th Oc-
tober, 1855, was 200,6671. 16s. 11d., out of which
the April dividend and bonus was paid. The dis-
turbance in the state of commercial affairs was
subsiding, and the export of gold continued undi-
minished. The directors hoped for a favourable
result to their application for a renewal of their
charter. A dividend and bonus at the rate of 20
per cent. per annum was made payable on the 14th
October next.

The suspense which prevails among the spe-
culators at the Stock Exchange, pending the
receipt of the American advices, renders the
market for Public Securities temporarily inactive,
but the quotations have, up to the present mo-
ment, been maintained with remarkable firm-
ness, and a slight advance—namely, 1 per cent.—
can be recorded. Consols were 931 to 94,
but they have since been 94i. Special transfers
Lave been effected at 941. The New Scrip is 21
prom, The New Threes are 94f and the
Reduced Annuities 931 to 94. Bank Stock is 217
to 218. Exchequer Bills are firm at ss. to Bs.
premium, and the Bonds have been marked 98k.
There have been a few large transactions in
Foreign Bonds, at full prices. Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 99k, and the 4 per Cents. 1038, being
a slight improvement. Russian Fives are 108,
ditto 41 per Cents. 971 to 981, and ditto Small 981.
Sardinian Bonds are 921, and Spanish Deferred
251, Mexican Bonds are 1 higher, viz., 221
Peruvian Threes 55. Brazilian Fives are 101.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican,
22i ; Peruvian, 77 9 ; ditto Three per Cents.,
54 6 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 50 2 ; Russian
Five per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half p e
Cents., 97 9 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 461 71 ;
ditto Deferred, 25i ; ditto Certificates, 6i 7 ;
ditto Passive, 6i 7i.
Railway Shares are all rather higher, but the
dealings have not been numerous. The Foreign
are quiet, and the Colonial steady.
There have been several bargains in Banking
Shares at fuller quotations. Australian Agricul-
tural have risen 108. to 155., and the Canada
Land 1/.
