CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, yet firmly. Compared with Friday's rates
Prices of all kinds were the same. The sales were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 have been
taken on speculation. The sales include 340 Pes-
rlairt and Maranham, at 61d. to 7d. ; 140 Bahia,
61d. to qd. ; 500 Egyptian, Gid. to 9.1. ; and
1,000 Surat, 4d. to 4;/d. per lb. There was a fair
einount of business done in the Railway Share Mar-
ket, but prices were much the same as on Satur-
day.
The commercial advices from New York are con-1
sidered favourable, and although much anxiety was
evinced to obtain further political information from
Europe,still the improved prospects of peace con-
tinued. 'to operate beneficially upon monetary and
mercantile affairs. Capital was abundant both in
Wall-street and among the commercial community.
The Banks discounted freely, and most departments
of trade were becoming very active. The last
weekly return of the City Banks exhibited some
I,lllPortant changes. The loans and discounts were
'arser by 1,344,132 dollars, and the specie increased
17,138 dollars. During the week ending Feb. 23,
the imports exceeded the exports to the amount of
'1293,029 dollars.
Commercial advices from France show that a
feeling of uncertainty still exists among traders in
fancy wares, and the usual orders for bijouterie,
,
urnoz6, &c., have been kept back, which has ren-
dered the season very dull to the manufacturers.
°IA the other hand, the silk factories at Lyons and
elsewhere are in full work, with orders from Ameri-
can and English houses, and on Russian account,
'which will keep them employed for the next two or
three months. At Paris the sales of spring novelties
have not yet commenced, in consequence of the
laelcwardness of the season, but large purchases
w]lave been made in woollen manufactures.
.44 the provinces trade has improved, and manu-
facturers of general articles of merchandise are
fullyemployed with town and country orders.
Those of Alsace and Rouen have had their stocks
40 completely taken off that purchasers have had so
difiaenitv in obtaining, supplies ; and prices, which g
had been declining for some time past, have ad- 25
V4ticed. Generally speaking, such a steady state 4Ern2,
~
trade has not existed for some time, as there is 10
,iPParently all absence of speculative transactions.
the same time, all are anxiously looking for-
ward to the close of the present month, when the 25

41.eanwhile, the feeling displayed in the commercial 50
World shows that the majority are sanguine of a 30
favourable result. st.
Telegraphic accounts from Hamburg state that 50
nriceS have been received there from Norway St-
announcing that a serious commercial crisis has st.
rcurred there. In the city of Bergen alone 20 St.s
4°ußes had suspended payments.
Notwithstanding the adjustment of the account

jilts iu English Stocks, and the least political in-
ligeoest of importance from Paris may be expected
t° exercise a material influence upon the market.

public Securities are only obtainable upon onerous

AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS.-- t,
due Weekly review from the Am.terdarn and Rotter-
tl
atn produce-markets state that, although business was :
e:"Paratively inactive, prices were well supported. In
