CITY, Two o'OLooK

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday ma-
nifested a steady though quiet aspect, closing
flatly, however, at a decline of fully bd. per lb.
on American. Other kinds without change. The
Bales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500 of which
Were taken by the exporters, and 500 by the
speculators. The Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and prices were a shade lower than those

current on Wednesday.
Accounts from Berlin state that the fall which
has occurred in the principal continental wool
markets, in consequence of the monetary crisis, has
not bawl felt there yet. However, the market is
dull, and exhibits a tendency to decline. For the
present the few transactions which occur Ore closed
at September prices. The manufacturers appear to
be holding on until the wool fair at Frankfort-on-
the-Maine, but still they must come into the mar-
ket to obtain supplies for their current wants. The
arrivals at the commencement of the month are
more than usually happens in Nov., dimiuislied
partly by the August and September sales. The
stocks on hand have itot been increased as in former
years by fresh receipts from Prussia and Poland,
so that they are not heavy. The manufacturers
who have entered into contracts for this year's clip
Complain of the lateness of the season, and where
a greater quantity was expected they arc not more
considerable than they were last year. In the
provinces the contracts have been active for the
next crop at as advance of 5 to 8 thalers per quip_
tal. The greater part of the PruF.sian wools have
already been sold.
In the markets for Foreign and Colonial produce
this week a smaller business has been transacted,
thedearness of money occasioning a limitation of
purchases,pvi but for nearly all the principal staples
re
ouslvalues have been maintained. Holders of
sugar have brought forward a small quantity only
for public
_competition, and prices have conse-
quently been firm. Coffee has been without any
change of importance, and the demand has not
been active. For cocoa an advance of is.
per cwt,
has been obtained. Tea has sold at former curren-
cies, and rice has been more inquired for at steady
at's.

Of saltpetre there has been scarcely any on offer,
and a rise of is. to 2s. per cwt. has consequently
been established. In spices there have been a few
transactions, and ginger has been held for high
prices. Cloves and cassia lignea have slightly de-
clined. Tallow has been dull, and ls. to 2s. per
cwt. cheaper.
AnotherNewJoint Stock Company of an exceed- t;
ingly useful character has just been brought before .
the public, viz., the British Candle Company,
1
The capital required is 200,0001., and the pro-
Meters, who have purchased the works of the
Aritisla Sperm Candle Company, and of Bau- E
Wen's Patent Candle Company, calculate upon ,
securing for the proprietors an ample return on the E
subscribed capital. From an estimate made it is
shown that a clear profit of 20 or 22 per cent. cau S
be earned if the concern is judiciously managed, ,_,
as there can be no doubt that the article manu-
factured will command extensive patronage. The
investing public will do well to participate iu such
useful undertakings as this, where a return in the
at
shape of dividends can be immediately insured,
her than embark in foreign enterprise of a
doubtful description.
A meeting of the Northern Counties Union
Railway Company has just been held. The ques-
tion was as to dividing the 9,0001. in hand, and
Winding up the company, or to await the sale of
Ile line to some other company. It was agreed
by a majority to leave the concern in existence
still longer, with a view to its disposal for the
benefit of the shareholders.
A- moderate business has been transacted in
the English Stock market, but the quotations
have ruled heavy in consequence of speculative
sales. The aspect of monetary affairs still
looks discouraging, while political events are
also watched with anxiety, although it is
now stated, in telegraphic accounts, that the
Moniteur denies that the Anglo-French alliance
is less strong than it was. This, however, if true,
will probably not increase confidence, as it is not
much that subject as the appearance of the
Money Market which excites mistrust. The money
pressure seems to have become almost chro-
nic, and even the most sanguine entertain
Rao hope of an early improvement. Consols
opened at about 92i - for money, and 92
to 931 for account. They have since been
92g a and 93, owing to a pressure of sales. The
New Threes have been marked 92 to 92k, and
since 91 92. The New Deferred are 911 Z-. Bank

In Foreign Securities there has been a general
