MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENGE.

CITY, Two o'Oioe
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, though well supplied, at full prices. The
sales amounted to 10,000 bales, chiefly American,
one-third on speculation.
Advices from Antwerp report an active business
in coffee, with large arrivals from Saint Domingo,
and prices firm. There were some apprehensions
of a scarcity of this article during the present year,
but more recent accounts from the Brazils and
other coffee growing colonies, report a better state
of the crops than was at first anticipated. The
Market for sugars continues firm, with limited sup-
plies of raw sugars, and there are some who expect
rise in prices this season, not on account of any
great deficiency in the crops, but the consumption
of this article is gradually increasing on the Conti-
nent. In refined sugar 250,000 kilos. were sold at
full rates.

Accounts from France state that by a decree of
the sth instant, the wools imported into Algeria
from Maroe, and the Regency of Tunis across the
land frontier, will be subject to the same duties as
those imported by sea ; the rates according to kinds
and qualities.
The La Plata has arrived, but it is not yet known
What amount of specie she brings.
The official return of the exports of bullion from
the Port of London for the week ending Thursday
last is as follows :-Gold goin (Hambro'), 500 oz. ;
silver do. (Mogadore), 8,800 oz. ; silver bars (Bom-
bay), 6,419 oz. ; do. (Hambro'), 50,820 oz.
The Bank of England Return completed for the
'week ending the 7th inst. is again of a favourable
character. The bullion and the reserve of notes
baying again been materially augmented. The
Money Market continues easy, and the next state-
reent will no doubt exhibit further changes of an
encouraging description, although the payment of
the insolvency on the New Loan, and the prepara-
tions for the settlement of the Foreign Stock and
Railway Share accounts, have no doubt increased
the demand for discount accommodation.
