CITY, Two o'CLomi.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, but tamely, and, compared with Friday's
range, the prices were extreme. The sales were
estimate )d at 6,000 bales, 1,000 of whiCh were
taken f( neexport, and on speculation, comprising
50 Per nam and Marauham, at 6d. to 7d. ;
150 Egyptian, at bid. to 7 d, ; and 1,000 Surat,
at 41d. to sfd. The Railway Share Market 'was
depressod, and little business was done.
The Moniteur of yesterday publishes an official
table of the average prices of grain throughout the
principal markets in France during September,
which exhibits an important diminution compared
with the general returns of the previous month.
This ha a been mainly brought about by the large
arrivals of wheat at Marseilles during the past

month. At the same time it is remarkable that

the quot ations in that market show very little re-
trograde movement, notwithstanding the immense

quantitiim of wheat received from Odessa and the

Sea of Ai :off, which encumbered the docks and quays.
The average price during the second week of August
was 33f. .49c. per hectolitre in the Marseilles market,
and the corresponding week in September it was
again 33E 27c., showing a small decline of 22c.,
while this fall in other markets ranged from lfr. to
2fr. 50c. per hectolitre. All the markets in the
midland districts, which had been drained of sup-
plies under the impression that there would be a
bad harvest in this part of France, have been
stocked from Marseilles, where the corn merchants
are demanding high prices notwithStanding the
abundance of grain in the market. The average
price of wheat in the markets generally during
Auinst vas 32f. 63c., and for the month of Sep-
tember 30f. 38c., exhibiting a fall of if. 25c. per
hectolitre for the whole of France.

The rates of continental exchange for three
months yesterday afternoon were generally lower,
the movement in the terms of discount throughout
Northern Europe having further deranged them.
Gold, bc►th at Pails and Hamburg, at the present
moment, is dearer than in London, but remittances
of gold grom New York to this country continue to
yield a small profit. Accounts from Hamburg
mentipn that the pressure for money in that city
had slightly relaxed. Shipments of specie from
London thither are still made, and a large amount
of silver was taken from the Bank of England yes-
terday f Jr that purpose.

The :meeting of the South Australian Copper
Mining Company was held to-day, but was ad-
journed in consequence of the report of the new
manager not having arrived in time for the meeting.
Up to the present time no definite information,
relative to the extent of the frauds committed by
Mr. Robson, at the transfer office of the Crystal
Palace C ompany, has been published, but the inves-

tigation is still proceeding, and the result will
shortly be made known. Meanwhile, the com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange have resolved " that
where sb ares in the Crystal Palace Company have
been du .ly registered and acknowledged by the
compan' 7, the committee decline to interfere."
The d emand for discounts at the Bank of Eng-
land cot ►tinues excessive.

Most persons are agreeably surprised at the fa-
vour;abl e nature of the quarterly Revenue state-
rneni; showing an increase in the income during
that :period of 1,114,2881. It is remarked that if
the a►tuount of the loan and the sum absorbed in
the Tti quidation of Deficiency Bills were deducted
from the two opposite sides of the account, the
,Chance illor would then have had a very respectable
surplus .

This return, together with the rather more satis-
factory accounts from Paris, reporting some
diminut ion in the silver speculation, has
had a marked effect on the Funds, which,
after re covering rather decidedly yesterday after-
noon, still tend upwards. The belief is
express cd that the Bourse has been at its worst
point, and a recovery is now expected. Consols

prices fully equal to those realised on Mouda.
There was a fair average show of foreign wheat, Rus-
sian parcels were in good request. and late rates were well
iitipported. Other kinds realised former terms, but the
business doing in them was not extensive.
Barley and malt changed hands to a fair extent on former
terms.
All kinds of bate, the supply of which was limited,
were in good request, at very full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady, but not dearer.
