MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI.

CITY, Two o'CLooK

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices of American were 1-16 d. per
lb. lower than last week, but all other sorts were
unchanged. The sales were 6,000 bales, 1,500 for
export, and 500 on speculation—comprising 200
Pernam and Maranham, at 6id. to 71d. ; 100
Egyptian, 6&d. to 81d. ; and• 300 Surat, 4id. to
skd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
rather active, and many of the leading stocks were
extensively dealt in at improved prices.
Accounts from Lyons state that the tallow mar- '
ket was active and prices well maintained on ac-
count of the advices from London reporting a rise.
Beef tallow was sold at 126 f. to 128 f., and mutton
ditto at 146 f. to 148 f. At the close of the market

holders of stock were not inclined to sell lowest
• qualities under 128 f. The advices received from
Russia also mention that the exports are limited on
account of the advance in freights, and the
small quantity of tallow for sale in the prin-
cipal markets. This has been chiefly caused by
the exports of 1854, having comprised the
whole of the stocks accumulated from previous
years, so that the produce of the present year will,
no doubt, have been all exported at the close of
the navigable season, without, as formerly, leaving
a portion to add to the next year's exports. At
Marseilles there is a considerable quantity of tal-
low imported from Italy, and sales have been

effected at 138 f. for delivery at the entrepot. In
other continental markets there is everyappearance
of tallow advancing in prices as the winter season
approaches ; and it would appear from the trade
reports generally that the demand is greatly on
the increase, especially in the finer class of tallow.
The Colonial Produce Markets during the past

week have been rather dull, but no general decline
in prices has taken place. For sugar there has
been very little inquiry, and a reduction of 6d.
per cwt. has had to be submitted to where sales
have been pressed. Coffee has generally rule d
firm at full rates, but some of the lowe

qualities have been rather cheaper. Tea has bec zn
quiet, rice 3d. to 6d. cheaper, and cocoa fin n.
Saltpetre, cochineal, and tallow have been firm, I rut
not active. In spices the transactions have b' ?en
limited. Wool at public sale has realised previ .ous
quotations, and there is a good attendance of I ioth
home and foreign buyers.

The suspension of another small country b: ink,
viz., the Hemel-Hpmpstead and Watford, has I be :en
announced, the London agents having refused to
pay its notes. It had authority to issue not( is to
the extent of 23,8421. The liabilities, it is repo- ct ed,
amount to about 70,0001.

It is stated that a large portion of the gold
brought by the Royal Charter from Australi a. has
been purchased for transmission to the Conti Dent.
The English Funds are exceedingly firm at , pre-
vious quotations, but there is very little by isiness
to report. Consols for Money have been 95k k,
and 95f1 for Account. The New 3 per Cent: I. were
96 to 96k, and the Reduced 95i 1. Bank , Stock
was 21k. Exchequer Bills are firm at 9s. to 13s.
prem., and the Bonds 1004. Consols Scri ip is 3/
premium.

Foreign Securities are dull, but without any
material change in prices. Turkish Smal' I Bonds
are 103 f, and the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed 1031 to
104. Peruvian Dollar Bonds have been dealt in
at 6.18. Grenada Deferred 7f, and Brazil; an 5 per
