ONE Y MA R,

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLICITITO.

:I'Pv . Two
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and, compareti with Friday's rates, prices
of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were
6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was
steady, at an advance on Saturday's currency.
In consequence of the boisterous state of the
weather last night the foreign mails have been
detained. &s the monetary crisis on the continent
now appears to be subsiding the letters daily re-
ceived are perused with additional interest. Those
to hand yesterday continued to represent the posi-
tion of the French money market as having im-
proved, and the opinion is entertained in many
quarters that some of the recent restrictions imposed
by the Bank will soon be removed. Confidence is
increasing, the pressure for money is less severe,
and. investments in the Rentes are made with
freedom. The commercial interest are more
sanguine, although trade continues quiet.
Prom the other parts of the continent the ad-
vices are also encouraging, but the speculation
in silver continues, and large quantities of that
metal are arriving here. The Bank of Frankfort
have lowered the rate of discount from 6 to 5 per
Cent., but at Hamburg the quotation has advanced.
The private accounts from most of the German
markets mention that the increased ease was soon
likely to influence the official terms of accommoda-
tion.

With regard to the Money Market here favour-
able symptoms are still apparent. There is de-
cidedly less inquiry for discounts, and first class
bills are negotiated under the Bank minimum.
Gold continues to be sent into the national
establishment, and this circumstance, of course,
tends to increase confidence. As the 4th
of next month approaches, however, there will,
no doubt, be a greater demand, and if the pay-
bent of the engagements then falling due, and the
settlement of the accounts at the Stock Enchange,
do not occasion renewed stringency, there is rea-
son toe believe that the Directors will speedily
Modify their recent restrictive policy.
Of the 350,0001. in Australian gold expected at
the Bank of England yesterday, only about
180,0001. or 200,0001. were received. The re-
mainder, however, with a further amount estimated
at 100,000/., will probably be delivered to-day.
The enquiry for money on the Stock-Exchange
has been very fluctuating.. On Friday 7 and 7i
per cent: were paid for loans on Consols until to-
day, and some difEculiy was felt in procuring them
at these rates ; but on Saturday the supply of capi-
tal sensibly increased, and employment could not
be found for it, even on much easier terms. To day
there is a recurrence of the pressure, and accom-
modation is sought for at 7 per cent. This cir-
cumstance, together with several others of minor
importance, has produced a little weakness iu the
ennacl Market. A few sales have been made, and
the flatness of the Relates yesterday has also contri-
buted to cheek the buoyancy previously noticeable,
and a decline of per cent, has taken place.
Consols for money have been sold, and prices have
receded to 93/ 94, but they are now 94 to 941, and
the present quotation for the next account is 94i
'or k.
January they have been 95 to 951, and 94i-
-- The New Three per Cents. are 933 k, and
the Reduced 921 931. Exchequer Bills are

India Bonds 2s. prem. Bank Stock is 2151

The Foreign Market is dull. Turkish 6 per

been advanced to We company, is ordered by the chief
clerk of the Master of the Rolls to stand over until the
list of contributorice brought in by Mr. Tureuand and
Messrs Galsvvorthy, his solicitors, is settled. The claim is

rectors made use of it to declare dividends although no
profits were made, and on the further ground that under
the deed of settlement the directors lead uo power to
