The Live* pool Cotton Market yesterday closed
frinisy. and with some animation, and full prices
'ere obtained. The sales amounted to 10,000
bales, of which 3,000 were taken on speculation,
comprising 110 Pernam and Maranham, at 64d.
to 7d. ; 170 Bahia, qd. to bid. ; 750 Egyptian, 611
to lid. ; 600 Surat„ 47,,d. to s;d. ; and 80
Sea Islands, ls. to ls. 91. per lb. • The Rail-
-way Share Market was very buoyant at a slight
advance on the current quotations of Wednesday.
Notwithstanding the dearness of money, and the
high rates charged for the negotiation of commer-
cial bills, the Colonial produce markets have been
moderately active this week, and the quotations of
several of the most important staples have ad-
vanced. Sugar has been in brisk request, and
prices have risen 6d. to Is. per cwt. Holders are
asking even higher terms, which does not appear
to have checked business. Coffee has been steady,
but the dealings have not been very numerous.
Rice has been in increased demand, tea firm, and
cocoa dull, at previous quotations. 1u saltpetre a
fair business has been done, at steady prices, and
cochineal has not undergone any material change.
Spices have been more freely dealt in, and in some
instances improved quotations have been current.
The tallow market has been very active, at en-
hanced quotations. The public sales of indigo
commenced on Tuesday, consisting of 17,633 chests.
Prices have advanced 4d. to Bd. per lb., compared
'with those realised in the July series.
Telegraph advices from Madrid of the 15th inst.,
announce the adjudication of the Spanish Northern
Railway from Madrid to Bayonne on that day to
the Spanish Credit Mohler Company. It will be
remembered that a law was voted by the Corres
conceding the construction of this line provi-
sionally to that company, with a subsidy of 200
millions of reals from the Government. The Credit
frost Company were also competitors, but they
retired, and the Concession has been received with
Unanimous satisfaction by all parties concerned.
The various rumours which are in circulation,
both here and in Paris, relative to the situation of
the money market, and the plans suggested for its
relief, at once indicate the uneasy feeling that
prevails and the necessitywhich exists for continued
caution. The anxiety exhibited by the Bank of
England Directors to contract their engagements
by ceasing to make advances on stock shows that
the position of the establishment renders the exer-
cise of a very restrictive policy absolutely neces-
sary. The course adopted yesterday at the "par-
lour" meeting was one of great significance, prov-
iug a desire to limit speculation, and to be prepared
for any demands for assistance from the mercantile
cornmunity.
The inquiry for money is exceeding active, and
rather higher terms are current for discounts. It
seems generally anticipated that an issue of small
totes would well be resorted to before the Direc-
tors resolve to carry the minimum, still higher,
the inconvenience felt by the commercial interest
being already very severe.
The purchaaes of gold for the Bank of France,
Which is supporting itself at our expense, continue,
and a small quantity was withdrawn yesterday
from the Bank of England.
A large business has been done in the English
Stock Market to-day, as, in addition to the invest-
Ments by the public, which continue to be effected
t° some extent, there is a disposition to specu-
late for an advance. It is thought that the
Money Market cannot be in a much worse
?ooition, and that whatever measures are adopted
IbeY will prove beneficial, and perhaps immediately
initiate a recovery. Consols for money have been
90i. 91, then 91i, and still later 911. The account
Prices have been 91l g, and 91i %. They are now
91 to 91/ for the former, and 91i g for the latter.
The New Threes aro 90 to 90k, and the Reduced
894- to 90;. Bank Stock is 210 to 213. Exchequer
bills have descended to ls. discount and 45. pre-
Minns, and the Bonds 98g.
In thst Foreign Market business is dull, and
prices remain heavy. Turkish have been lower,
the 6 per Cents. having declined to 87i 88k, and
the 4 per Cents. are 98 to 981. Spanish 3 per
Cents. have been 41 to 41k, being 1 per cent.
lower. Peruvian 4i per Cents. are marked 76,
and Dutch 4 per Cents. 94F
