CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export; and 500 on speculation. The sales
comprised 3,250 American, 320 Pernam and Maran-
ham at 6d. to Id., 300 Bahia at 51d. to 6ii.; and 100
Egyptian at 6d. to aid. per lb. The market closed
steadily. The Share Market rvasvery firm, particularly for
Midland and Leeds Shares, which were in much de-
mand, at considerably higher prices.
Upon the state of the Produce Markets during the
past month, Messrs. H. W. Jewsbury and Co. report as
follows :—" We have again to report a dell month in
the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets; the same
inanimate tone prevails which has been the chief feature
since the commencement of the year; and the tendency
of prices generally has been again downwards ; the
rates for most of the leading articles are very low, still
importers have been desirous to realise, and prices have
ruled more in favour of the buyers than at the beginning
of the past month. The recent failures have had a de-
pressing effect upon the markets; but as it is now felt
that no great quantity of produce will in conse-
quence be forced upon the market, there has been
a firmer tone during the last few days, and sales have
been made upon rather better terms. The harvest has
so far been gathered in safely, and is reported both
abundant in quantity and fine in quality ; all fears
upon this essential point being set at rest, it is not unrea-
sonable to expect some improvement in produce—that
is, where prices have not been artificially raised by
speculation."
In reporting upon freights in London for the past
month, Mr. George Offor, jun., mentions that our ship-
owners are more inclined to build fast-sailing ships to
compete with the Americans, but at the same time of
stronger make, and then goes on to state:—" I regret
to record a continued depression in freights. A steady
fall in the Corn Markets has caused the inquiry for
tonnage from the grain ports to become still more
limited, and rates aro almost nominal. Vessels can be
placed from Alexandria at 6s. 6d. to 6s. 9d. for Beans;
Galatz, 10s. Wheat, &c. A private letter from Alexan-
dria states that the freight being paid thence for
vessel& to call for orders was 7s. 2d. to 7s. 6d., or
to a direct port 6s. 6d. to 6s. 10d. In addition to the
fall in the price of Grain, which was to some extent an-
ticipated, the recent failures of the mercantile firms of
Castelli, Giustiniani, and Co., and S. Rucker and Sons,
have influenced freights—speculative charterers having
suspended their operations, caution being at the same
time necessary on the part of shipowners in chartering
their vessels until the result of these suspensions is
known. I have examined the commercial letters and
papers received from the eastward by the last mails,
and find that prospects generally wore more favourable
to the abipowning interest. Exports from London con-
tinue dull, with the exception of the colonial trade, in
which there is some activity. The foreign markets are
generally supplied."
The report of Mr. H. R. Forrest, from Bradford states
—"Self-grey Alpacas and fancy goods, adapted fur the
season, continue to be taken as produced, and are gene-
rally sold to order. Although the demand is generally
considered fair, the market is dull for the time of
year, and manufacturers complain that prices are unre-
munerative. Yarns continue in the same dull state as
for some time past, and prices are ruinous, especially
for the low and middle qualities. At present there is
a little more demand for export, but at no improvement
in prices, and from the unusual absence of buyers from
Lancashire the prospect of this branch of trade is any-
thing but encouraging."

The summary of the Manchester Market, by Mr. G.
F. Maudley, states that the last month's transactions
have been very large, and that after such extensive
dealings a lull is to be expected. The manufacturers,
however, have full employment for some time to come.

The Continental mails bring no intelligence of impor•
tance, and there are not any Colonial arrivals.

The Money Market is at present easy, and, according
to appearances, is likely to continue so. From the
United States no very large amount of specie is looked
for immediately, but it is, nevertheless, the opinion in
many quarters that the exchange will shortly advance
again, for our market offers no opening for large im-
ports, and Cotton will not he allowed to go higher,
it is supposed, while textile fabrics to a heavy
amount have been shipped to New York. The hope is
expressed that we have seen the end of important failures,
and as the Bank of England will continue discount-
ing at 3 per cent. as its minimum, until the transfer-
books open next month upon the payment of the divi-
dends, no pressure will be felt among houses of good
credit. A most excellent effect is felt from the caution
of holders in not pressing sales of colonial produce, and
this will strengthen many firms.

The English Funds, although tolerably steady, do not
quite support the rise of yesterday. Consols have been
96! to 1, and are now 964 The New Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. have been 981 to 99, and the Three
per Cents. 97 to f. A sale of Bank Stock having been
pressed, the price has declined trona 2151 to 214. East
India Stock has been dull at 2601 r. Exchequer-bills are
445. to 475. premium.

Foreign Stocks have been heavier. Sardinian scrip
has fallen to 2 dis. The aspect of foreign politics not
being liked, this security becomes susceptible. Mexican
Bonds have been at about 28k to e. Spanish Five per
Cents. are nominally 20i to Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 59{

A good deal has been doing in Railway Shares, and
although in some instances prices have fluctuated and
been a little weak, the general tone is good. The award
of Mr. Gladstone, apportioning the traffic between the
North-Western, Midland, and Great Northern, gives
much satisfaction.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOClETY.—Yesterday evening
a meeting of the committee of management, and others in-
terested in the welfare of this excellent institution, was held
at the London Tavern, for the transaction of general busi-
ness. The 24th annual report congratulates the subscribers
on the result of this long experience, which appears to be
the settling down of the society into a regular and steady
course. The number of individuals who have participated
in its benefits, by annual pensions, since the formation of
the institution, have been 224. The sum expended in pen
sions last year was 555/. 12s. The property of the society
invested with the Commissioners for the reduction of the
National Debt at the last audit, was 5,6641. Bs. 5d., produc-
ing an annual income of 2101.
THE NEW HOUSE DUTY.—At Michaelmas the first
half-year's duty under the new Act will become payable of
6d. in the pound on the annual value of 201. and upwards on
shops, warehouses, &c., and of 9d. on dwelling-houses not
used as thole, &c.
