CITY, Two o'CLoc,
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
With more animation, and prices of all descriptions
Were very firm. The sales were estimatcd at
15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by ex-
Porters, aid 6,000 by the speculators. The Railway
Share Market was very active.
The weekly trade report from Paris states that
the restrictions of the Bank in refusing to discount
commercial paper over 60 days, continue to depress
mercantile transactions, and business which had
been previously dull is now still more so, and is
felt very much at this time of the year, when the
preparations for the winter season generally create
activity amongst the manufacturers and retailers.
In this state of affairs the merchants of Paris have
Signed a document addressed to the directors of
the Bank, requesting them at the very earliest
opportunity to re-establish the measure of discount-
ing bills at 90 days. The effects of this resolution
of the Bank act more directly on the operations of
the manufacturers and retailers. The one has in
consequence to limit the production of his works,
and the other abstains from new purchases until
the bank establishes the ordinary terms of dis-
count. Orders for merchandise from the United
States and South America continue to arrive, but
there is almost nothing doing with England and
the Continental States. The monetary crisis
throughout Europe appears to have restrained all
commercial operations with France. At last the
stringency of the money markets has caused a
decline in the prices of silks, both raw and manu-
factured ; and this is likely to continue, as there
are many of the speculators in this article realising
on their operations.
The intelligence brought from America by the
Canada mentions that the advices received out
relative to the increa,:iing tightness of the English
and continental money markets had given some dis-
couragement to the stock operations in New York,
and the quotations of State Securities and Railway 25
Bonds had consequently ruled heavy. There was 25
an active demand for money, and the confident
expectation of continued large exports of specie to 10
this Country, in discharge of a heavy balance of 10
trade, precluded the hope of any immediate relaxa-
tion. For mercantile purposes also, as usual at
that season of the year, the inquiry for accommo-
dat•on 'vas increasing.
LatrJr accounts have been received by this oppor-
tunity from California. These are generally
taYourable, especially with regard to the progress
4)f good mining. Trade also appears to have greatly
Iniproved.
The exports of the precious metals last week
amounted to 536,0001., including the sum on board
the Indus, which leaves Southampton to-day for
tars
and China. The following are the particu
of the quantity taken out by this vessel :
Alexandria, gold £l,Boo
Bombay, silver 193981
Ceylon, gold 5,300
Madras, silver
~ gold
Calcutta, silver

Total £502,091
Private advices received from Paris this morn-
ing report a slight change for the better in
tbe general aspect of monetary affairs, although
the pressure for discount accommodation is
still severe. It is evident that a more cheerful
feeling prevails, which, supposing the crisis to have
reached its height, will do much to accelerate
restoration of confidence. Hoarding is not being
earned on to such an extent as previously, the
speculative demand for silver, owing to the inter-
ference of the Government, is checked, and the
extended coinage of gold pieces, have all tended to
Calm the feelings of apprehension which of late
have been so loudly expressed. With regard
'fro the Money Market here no material change
18 noticeable, but at the same time it may be re-
marked that the inquiry, both at the Bank of
England and in Lombard street, is rather less
active. No alteration has occurred in the rates,
but many are of opinion that the Directors will
speedily renew their advances on Government
securities.

Although the transactions in the market for
public securities to-day have not been very nu-
merous there is an improved feeling and an ad-
vance of about per .ent. has taken place. Some
anxiety is manifested to ascertain whether
the Bank of England directors will renew
advances on stock. If this were resolved
Upon there can be no doubt but that a further ma-
terial improvement would ensue. Consols for
transfer have been 911 to 92, and 92 to 921. For
the account business has been done at 9241, 92i1
but they have since been 92± j. At the present
moment they are 911 92 and 921 1. The
/few Three per Cents. are marked 911 1 b, and the
Reduced 91 to 911. Bank Stock is firmer, viz.,
211 to 213. Exchequer Bills are ls. better, viz.,
3s. to Os. premium, and the Bonds are 9881.
The Market for Foreign Securities is also more
buoyant, and Turkish 6 per Cents., recently so
touch depressed, have exhibited a decidedly up-
Ward tendency. Brazilian 5 per Cents. for the
account rule steady at 991, Danish 3 per Cents.
