Two o'CLocx

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, wit'n a good business doing. The males
were estialated at from 10,000 to 12,000 hales-
-1,000 for export and 3,000 on speculation—.
comprising 400 Pernam and Marauham, 6d. to
; 200 Bahia, 6d. to 61d. ; 600 Egyptian,
6id. to Bd. ; 800 Surat, 4id. to 5d., and 180 Sea
Islands, 114 d. to ls. OAd. per lb. The Railway
Share Market closed exceedingly active, but with-
out any material change.

Advicel4 from the French wool markets report a
rather dull business in consequence of the wools of

this year's clip not coming to market earlier. At
Bourges, the clip of this year having been kept
back by the .bad weather, the wools have not ar-
..(), :,,.rtyed'Ab.abundantly from the wool growers as they
last season, and •consequently sales have not
.- beci, active. Buyers do not exhibit much anxiety
t 30 purchase. Prices at the close of the fair on the
28th June remained without variation, at 'the same
quotations with which it opened, viz.—lfr. to lfr.
15c. per half kilo: Some qualities of an exceptional
' "'kind 'realised lfr. 20c., and lamb's wool obtained
. froatlf. 30c. to if. 35c. per kilo. At Chalon-sur-
7Marne 'the market closed on Saturday at the same
risfiCaobtained last year, being 2f. 50c. to 2f. 80c.
Per lg kilo. for fine washed wools, and a superior
, lot bronht from 2f. 90c. to 3f. At Chartres about
,i4ll. 430 waggon loads arrived on the fair ground.on
- • 4 kiktatday; but ihe day passed over without any
t!ge beiug effected ;.'and it was understood that
-none would'takeplaoe 'Until Monday. The ruling
quotations were :—For wool in grease, Ist quality

y

2f. 40c. per _kilo., 2d ditto 2f. 20q., and 3d ditto
2f. ; lamb's wool, Ist quality :3f. 50c., 2d ditto, 3f.
'2oe.; 'and 34 ditto 2f. 80c. •
,:;,,,.;,1; Accounts. from . Paris_ mention that the Bourse
yesterday presented a firmer appearance and ah im-
provement in the prices of the Rentes occurred.
The unfavourable effects produced by the late set-
tlement of the account were disappearing, and the
business now transacted is described as being of a
mere bona fide character.
Contrary to an opinion entertainted in many
quarters, the Bank of England Directors have ad-
journed their Board meeting without making any
change in the minimum rate of discount, but this
has canned no serious disappointment, since it is
well understood that although the reduction has
not been effected to-day, it cannot be delayed
much longer, supposing of course monetary affairs
remain in their present-- favourable condition.
There is rather more inquiry for discounts in Lom-
. ' bard-street, owing 'to the large mass of commer-
cial bills which fall due to-morrow, the "fourth"
of the month.
It is expected that in the course of the present
Week half a million sterling of gold will be received
from Constantinople. The remittances to India
_mod China by the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
. piVs steamer, which is to leave Southampton to-
••,*:!TXovv, is believed to be heavy, namely, about
660•.,00,063i;)700,000/.
The Funds have ruled at fuller quotation, and
the tendency of the market is still strongly in the
."direction--of a further advance. Consols have
been 951 and 96 all the morning. The New Three
per Cents, rule at 96i to'97, and the Reduced 961
• Bank Stock is firm at 217 to 218. Exchequer
Bills continue to improve, being 14s. and 184.
Poi. • 'The Bonds are no, and East India Bonds
10;..prem.
In Foreign Stocks the transactions have been
numerous. Turkish 6 per Cents, have been
106 g. and 107, and the 4
,per Cents. 1061,. for
count, being a trifle lower. Russian 4-i per Cent*.
are better, viz. 981. Sardinian' Bonds havabeen
92 Mexican 23, and Brazilian 5 per Cents.
1021, being full prices. Buenos Ayres have risen
1, viz. to 87. Equador New Consolidated have'

leading lines,
however, are at a slight enhance-
era, including Aberdeen, Bristol and Exeter,
ilast Anglian, Great Northern, &c. The French
are quiet. Bengals are to 1 pm. Grand Trunk

the Legislature.
