CODMMCIAL INTELLIGENCB.

CITY, ONE O'CLOC!C.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a steady feeling, and prices of all kinds were
unchanged. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales (250 for export and 500 on speculation), com-
prising 350 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to
; 350 Egyptian, at 6id. to Bd. ; 1,500 Surat,
at 4fd. to 51d. per lb. The Share Market closed
quietly, and prices are a slight decline on last
week.

The Belgian commercial report mentions that the
markets generally were steady, and there was very
little business doing on account of the grand fates
at Brussels occupying the attention of the public.
The market for coffee at Antwerp was well sup-
plied with stocks by numerous arrivals from St.
Domingo, Java, and Rio Janeiro. The first-named
qualities were in demand for exportation, and an
active business was transacted in Brazils at full quo-
tations. In all kinds there was a further tendency
to rise. The market for raw sugar was completely
paralysed by the high prices obtained at the public
sales held at Amsterdam by the commercial com-
pany of the Low Countries. Holders of Stock
were standing out for an advance upon previous
pricut, which purchasers were not inclined to pay,
and consequently there was no business done. In
refined sugars not only was there a rise in prices,
but the stock in the market for sale was very limit-
ed, and the sugar refiners were restricting their
manufactures on account of the large price of raw
sugars. The wool market was quiet, and the re-
duced prices of the previous week maintained with
firmness. The imports of this article were chiefly
from Buenos Ayres and England.

Accounts from Finland state that a decree has
been published prohibiting the exportation of oats,
barley, and rye from the districts of Wasa and
Uleabourg.

The usual French mails have not yet arrived.
The NeW Great Britain has arrived from Port
Philip with 46,769 ounces of gold.

The Funds remain almost stationary at previous
quotations. Business is very dull, but there is a
considerable degree of firmness in prices, which has
been increased by the arrivals of specie and the ex-
pectation that the minimum rate of discount will
soon be reduced. Consols have been 951 for
money, and 95/ a for account. The New Threes
are 96a and the Reduced 96 to 96k. Exchequer
Bills are firm.

In the Foreign Stock Market business has been
very inactive, and prices have exhibited but little
change from yesterday's range. Brazilian 5 per
Cents. are 101 to 103. Buenos Ayres 84 to 86.
Grenada Active Bonds 19 to 201. Russian 5 per
Cents. 111 to It 3. Turkish 6 per Cents. aro

quoted at 104 k to 1041, and the 4 per Cents. at
1061 to 1061. Dutch Bonds are steady at 64 to
66 for the 2k per Cents., and 96 to 98 for the 4
per Cent. Certificates.

Railway shares are dull, and without any ma-
terial alteration in prices. The French, Belgian,
Canadian, and Indian lines are quiet.

Alines, Banks, and Miscellaneous shares are
generally at previous prices.
