CITY, Two o7C-Locei
Tho Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
tamely, with a firm feeling, at the current rates of
last week. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales
--Z"a00 were taken for export—comprising 680 Per+
nam and Maranham, at 611 to 60. ; 200 Egyp-
tian, o}d. to BYd. ; and 500 Surat, at 44d. to 4id.
Per lb. The Railway Share Market exhibited a
dull aspect, with little or no change in prices.
The usual weekly commercial report from Paris
states that business generally has been quiet in
that city, on account of the number of Parisians
Who have left town for the country. Amongst the
Manufacturers the demand for exportation is
almost nil. The late events in Spain has closed all
trade in that quarter. England and Russia con-
tinue to make small purchases. The last packet
boats from New York and South America brought
no new orders. The commercial operations be-
tween France and the United States during the
first quarter of HA as regards imports, amounted
to4lo reillionsof francs, etiainst 236 millions in 1855,
and exports 240 millions against 176 do. respectively.
In the principal sugar markets there has been a
rise in prices. At Havre good Antilles advanced
from 66f. per 50 kilos. to 68f. The stocks on hand
are said to be very small, and a good many pur-
chases have been made in advance of arrivals.
This rise at Havre has influenced the market at
Nantes, where there are many extensive sugar re-
fineries. One establishment purchased 7,475 bags
of Antilles at 67f., or an advance of 50c. on pre-
vious quotations. At Marseilles an upward move-
ment has taken place in foreign sugars, in conse-
quence of the deficient importations from
Ravenna and Brazil, and the increased consump-
tion throughout France.
The steamer Asia has arrived from New York ;
but the letters and-papers have not yet arrived:in
tovrn. She brings $1,600,000.
This day the second annual meeting of the
London and Eastern Banking Corporation was
held, the Hon. John Cadwalader Erskine in the
chair. The general manager, Mr. Stephens, read
the report, from which it appeared that this bank
had been very successful within the two years of
its establishment. The profits of the past year were
25,3781., exceeding 10 per cent. upon the paid-up
capital of the bank. The shareholders having been
Paid two dividends of 6 per cent. for that year, the
directors felt it more advisable to stop any further
distribution out of that year's profits, and had
therefore put away the balance of 10,378/. towards
a reserve fund. The past half-year's profits had
been so far satisfactory that the directors felt
bound to continue, in anticipation of the accounts,
the usual dividend of 6 per cent. to the 30th June
last. tt appeared from the report that the objec-
tion to this bank offering a higher rate of interest
than others was removed by the corporation having
Indian branches, in which money could be em-
ployed at remunerative rates. The success attend-
ing the
rlyde Park Branch had induced the di-
rectors to establish another in Pall Mall. The
report was adopted, and a vote of thanks was
Passed to the chairman and directors, and to the
officers of the corporation.
In the discount market the inquiry for accom-
modation continues very quiet, and the rates are
:as
about 3/ for the negotiation of first class paper.
the foreign exchanges are rather firmer it is
hoped that the remittances of gold to the Conti-
nent Will diminish when the Directors of the Bank
Of
England would probably be in a position to re-
duce the minimum rate of discount.
