MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCR

CITY, Two o'Otocn.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con-
tinued very steady, and full rates were obtained.
The sales were 10,001) bales, 4,000 for export and
on speculation. The market closed steadily. The
Railway Share Market was steadily maintained,
and in many cases an advance was obtained.
Accounts from Peru, by the West India mail-
packet Atrato, furnish some interesting particulars
regarding the guano trade from the Chincha
Islands. It appears that the net produce of a ton
of guano to Peru when sold in England is $23 5c.,
and when sold in the United States $2l sc. The
loss by transshipment, waste, and accidents by sea
18 calculated at 12 per cant. Recent estimates of
the quantities on the group of islands are as fol-
lows :—On the north island, as computed by M.
Faraquet, a French engineer, 4,189,477 tons ; on
the middle island, as calculated by Senor Castanon
Cana and others, 2,505,948 tons ; and on the south
island, as estimated by the same authorities,
5,684,679 tons—making a total of 12,380,102
tons. From official returns it appears that
the quantity of guano exported from No-
vember, 1853, to October, 1855, was 780,000
tons, or about 800,000 tons in two years,
Which is valued at 20 million doll. At the p, esent
time the National Debt of Peru is 46,698,889 clols.,
bearing interest amounting annually to 2,101,750

dols. Should the proceeds, therefore, of guano be
judiciously applied, there is sufficient to pay off
the debt in a few years.
According to the customs retutns at Panatna,
the trade between that 'port and California is
steadily increasing. During the last year there
Were 32 vessels of the United States troecantile
marine entered the port, from thence of 49,300 tons
aggregate measure, and laden with cargoes includ-
ing gold and specie of the value of 30,691,815 dots.
The rates at which hills were negotiated ye.iter-
day afternoon in the principAl cities tit' t.h. C
tent showed rather a de-cided tendency to decline.

A decline of about per cent. has taken place in
the English Stock market, in consequence of a few
speculative sales. The unsatisfactory tone of the
American advices upon the Enlistment question,
has given rise to some apprehension lest the ami-
cable relations between this country and the United
States should be still farther disturbed. Whe-
ther there is really any ground for un-
easiness or not, the unfavourable view taken
by some of the morning journals upon
the subject has chiefly produced the reaction in
the Funds above mentioned, and the market is de-
cidedly weak. The tightness of the Money Mar-
ket, however, is not without its effect, and the state
of the account likewise occasions some flatness.
The " coutango" is still very high, viz., about
per cent. Consols, for money, opened at 90i to 91,
And for account 911 to but they have since still
farther declined to 901 to for the former,
and to 90i and 91 for the latter. Exchequer
Bills are Is. lower, having been done at 7s. discount.
The New 3 per Cents. have been heavy at 912-
to 91i, and 921 ; the Reduced at, 911 g. B ink
Stock has been done at 212, an advance of to 1
Per Cent. India Bonds are 7s. discount.

The Foreign Market has been extremely firm,
and fuller prices are current. Turkish 6 per
Cents. have been 911 to 921 for money, and 93
for account, but the quotations are now about 921
and 92il ft respectively. The 4 per Ceuts. are
1021 8, a decline of 1 per cent. Mexican Bonds
ere heavy, at 201 I, and Sardinian at 88i. Spanish
3 per Cents. have been 41-it to 42. Dutch 21 per
Cents. 64/, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds 631.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
stocks: .Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 71; Mexican,
20i ; Peruvian, 80 81 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 56 57 ;
Portuguese 4 per Cents., 47 49 ; Russiln 5 per
Cents,, 103 106 ; ditto 43/4 per Cents., 92 94 ; Spanish
3 per Cents., 411 ; ditto Deferred, 221 31 ; ditto
Certificates, 61 ; ditto Passive, 41 51.
The Railway Market is affected by
:the arrange.
reents making for the adjustment of the speculative
account, this being " ticket day." The charges
made for " continuation" are very onerous, having,
in some instances, I),,en at the rate of 10 to 18 per
cent. Some of the lines, includ ng Midland,
South-Western, North-Weitern, E iinburgh, Perth
and Dundee, and Great Western, are at higher
prices. The Foreign and • e01,•.-,nial are dull an:i
)13r rather flat.

la the midst of an Arctic winter. • A great snow storm
has whitened the continent.. The city of New York was
"snowed in." Fora day or two nearly all the ordi-
nary business of out-door life was suspended. Half a
million people went without milk. The city railroad.,
which are now completed through nearly all the great
avenues, were impassable, and a body of snow two feet
deep lay en the town. Far much of the time during
the last four days Fahrenheit's thermometer ha, stood
below zero. There•bas been muob individual entering ;
but the poor of New York have been well provided for.
