The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The sales comprised 5,000 American,
100 Pernam and Maranham at 54d. to 60., 60 Bahia at
51d. to sid, 100 Egyptian at 5.4-d. to 6id , and 700 Surat
at 21e1. to 3id. per lb. The market was dull and closed
heavily.—The Share Market was flat.
Fair sales have this week been made in produce, and
importers offer an inducement by accepting for some
articles rather lower rates. Sugar has been a shade
cheaper. Coffee has been rather more in request. Rice
has been dull and Tallow at the current rates has been
wanted. Spices continue quiet and Cotton heavy.
Indigo is much the same since the auctions concluded.
Wool goes briskly. More has been done in fine Jute.
The following is an account of the progress of manu-
facturing industry at Manchester, in the United States :
The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, incorpo-
rated July 1851, commenced operations in 1837. Ca-
pital 3,000,000 dolls. The business of the corporation
is divided into four departments, viz. :-1. Land and
Water Power Company, or Real Estate and Building
Department. 2. Amoskesg New Mills—four mills ;
61,400 spindles ; 1,690 looms ; males employed, 475 ;

yards of sheeting, drilling, tickings, mariner stripes, de-
nims, and flannels; consume annually 18,000,000 lbs.

gallons of oil, 130 tons of starch, 25,000 lbe. of indigo ;
109 tenements used as boarding houses ; 520,000 dollars
paid out annually at the mills. There is also a savings
bank for the accommodation of those employed by the

The Stark Mills were incorporated 1838 ; commenced

The Amsterdam Market on the 29th instant was ge-
nerally feeble. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were
57 1-16.

The competition between the steamers of the Austrian
Lloyd's and the French lifessageries Nationales in the
Mediterranean is to cease under a❑ agreement that has
been concluded, if the statement by parties writing from
the Continent be correct. Travellers necessarily will
suffer by this, but the fares are stated to have been
hitherto much too low.

The Bankers' Magazine for November, in reviewing the
condition of the Money Market during the month now
closing, states:—

" The excitement and uneasiness which prevailed in
the Money Market to some extent, during the month of
September, has happily not been felt during the four or
five weeks now ended. A few failures have occurred
during the present month, arising in several of the in-
stances from the effects of the larger suspensions which
took place during August and September. In other re-
spects the course of the markets has been quiet and
steady, with a tendency to firmness and improvement.
The state of continental politics continues to exercise a
depressing influence to some extent. Another Ministe-
rial crisis has taken place in France, and the accounts of
the state of feeling in Germany and Italy are in the
highest degree unsatisfactory.
"In the Discount Market money is plentiful, and
since the issue of the dividends there has been some-
thing approaching to a plethora. The rate of good bills
nay be called 2i per cent. with the turn in favour of the
merchant. A good deal of care, however, is exercised
in L,)mbard-street, in scrutinizing very carefully the
character of the paper offered for discount, so that the
low rates of discount are by no means indiscriminate.
In the Railway Market business and prices have been
rather better. The excitement of the half-yearly meet-
ings has passed off ; and, on the whole, there is a
disposition to look with a favourable eye upon railway
property, administered as it now is.
The English Stock Market has been rather heavy
again, but prices can scarcely be deemed lower. Consols
have ranged from 97i to 97:1 for Transfer, and are now
97i The Account prices are much the same. To-
morrow being a holiday at the Bank of England Trans-
fer-offices, owing to the taking of the half-yearly ba-
lance, the Stock Exchange is expected to be closed.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 977 to
98. East India Stock is af, 2631 to 264. Exchequer-
bills have been quoted 525. to 55g., and India Bonds
58s. to 60). premium.

Foreign Securities are flat again, and the half-monthly
settlement
.is against the Bulls. Spanish Five per
Cents., however, are more buoyant, being 19:1. to 2O
Portuguese Four per Cents. aro 33i. Mexican have
been as low as 25} 4. Spanish Three per Cents. are
nominally 384 to a, Dutch Two-and. a•Half per Cents.
have been 584 I.

Railway Shares have been affected by the settlement
more than anything else, and are rather in favour of
buyers, though there is not a great deal doing.
