ONEY MARKET

COMMEE,CITAL INTELLITENCIq-

--- CITY, Two o'CLocx,
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, but, compared with Friday's rates, prices
of all kinds were without change. The sales were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 have been
,0
taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The '4l
sales included 70 Pernam and Maranham, at 7d. a
to 7id. ; 50 Bahia, 6d. to 61d. ; 350 Egyptian,
614. to 7Ad. ; and 400 Surat, 4d. to sd. In the .:
Share Market there was very little doing, without 2
any particular change in prices.
Commercial advices from the Continental Coffer
Markets, up to the close of last week, report a 5i
steady trade, with firmness in prices. At Ant-
werp some large sales of St. Domingo for exporta- 20
tion realised 31-i to 32c., which may be considered g
an advance on previous quotations. In Brazilian 0
coffees the market is firm, and the supplies from 25
thence are not equal to [the demand for exporta-
tion. Sales of 6,500 bags realised 28ic. for good gt.
qualities, and 22 to 24c. for lower kinds. The 21.
stock in first and second hands is estimated at 25
about 62,000 bags, of which 37,000 are Brazils, st-
-9,000 St. Domingo, 15,000 Java, and 1,000 other /o'.*
sorts.

Amsterdam business is limited in Java coffees,
but the price has not revived, and good green or-
dinary sorts are not lower than 321 c. In Brazil
kinds a few transactions have taken place at pre-
vious quotations. The Commercial Society of the
Low Countries have announced their public sales
of coffee as follows :—At Amsterdam on the Ist of
September 322,717 bags, Java ; at Rotterdam on
the 4th ditto, 233,368 bags Java, and 5,736 ditto
Padang ; and at Middleburg on the 9th Septem-
ber 63,129 bags Java. At Hamburg coffee has
been in demand, and holders are standing out for an
advance of 1-16th to sch. Brazil qualities are
quoted at 4 sch to 5,4 sob.
The advices brought by the Royal Charter,
which has arrived with 181,000 ounces of gold and
10,000 sovereigns, state that commercial affairs
were in a sound condition, and there was an entire
absence of speculation. The production of gold
was steadily increasing, and the quantity brought
down from the diggings by escort continued large.
From Sydney the accounts report favourably
upon the various commercial markets. But busi 10
-
ness was not active. There was a good demand 'it.
for gold, and, the supply being limited, 31.*
50
prices had advanced. They were 2a. per ounce 25
higher than at Port Philip, and it was expected 100
that large remittances would, consequently, be re- IS
cpived from that colony.
At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. J. G.
Margetti and Sons, who suspended payment on the
18th ult., it was stated that the liabilities exceeded
the assets by 18,0001. 145.. 7d. It was agreed to
wind up the affairs of the firm under the inspection
of four of the principal creditors.
ThP English Funds are without any change of
importance ; but a small purchase of stock by the
Government broker, and the large arrival of gold
by the Royal Charter have strengthened the
market. Business remains quiet. Foreign
Stock and Railway Share accounts absorb
the chief attention of the dealers. A small
failure was announced this morning on the Stock
Eichange, but, as- the engagements of the party
in question were not very extensive, the event
has not excited much remark. Consols have
been 95 to 95f for money, and 951 for
account. The New Three per Cents. were
961 , and the Reduced 951 -a. Exchequer Bills
are Bs. to 12s. premium, and India Bonds 14s.
premium. Bank Stock is 2171, and East India
Stock, 2351.
the Foreign Market is firm, but not active.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031 and the 4 per
Cents. are nominally without alteration. Sardi-
nian have been dealt in at 92 to 92k. Portuguese
4 per Cents., 511, Mexican, 22i, Grenada De-
ferred, 71, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds, 61k.
In Railway Shares a considerable business has
been done, mostly iu relation to the settlement,
this being "making up" day, and the prices have,
in some instances, improved. Edinburgh and
Glasgow, Great Westerh, and a few others are 10s.
to 1/. higher, but North-Eastern, Berwick, and the
Midland, on the contrary, are heavy. The French
and Belgian lines are steady, and the Colonial rule
dull.

Rigas, which yesterday afternoon receded to
prem., have recovered to to 11 prem.
Mining, banking, and miscellaneous share 3 are
well supported.
The meeting of the General Screw'Steam Com-
pany has just been held. The Directors' report,
which recommended the postponement of a divi-
dend, was adopted.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Sfocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71i; Mexican,

The Alfred, from Calcutta, belongini to Messrs.
Green and Co., brought up at the Black wall Buoys,
was afterwards hauled into the Victoria Docks to be
discharged in consequence of there not being a sufficient
depth of watFr for her to enter the East India Docks.

NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The dividend to be de-
clared at the enening meeting will be at the rate of 4
per neut. on the B3rwick stock, with 8,565/. over ; and
21 per cent. on the York and North Midland stock,
with a balance of 6.000/. over.

WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOITTH RAILWAY.—On
Saturday last the Government inspector traversed the
section of the railway from Frome to Yeovil, which will
be opened for traffic en the Ist of September. The
whole line to Weymouth, it is expected, will be com-
pleted before the end of the autumn.
SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.—Yesterday the parochial
officers of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, gave orders to
the inspector of nuisances for the immediate prosecution
of all parties in the district who may be found accumu-
lating filth of any kind on their premises, to the danger
of the health of the inhabitants. Printed notices were
likewise issued throughout the parish, giving warning
that any one offending against the law would be prose-
cuted under the Nuisances Removal Act.
THE WELLINC4ON MONUMENT IN GUlLDHALL.—Yes-
terday the statue of the late Alderman Beckford was
removed from its position in the City Guildhall to make
way for the monument to the memory of the late Duke
of Wellington, for which the corporation have voted
5,0001. The inauguration will take place on the 14th
prme , the fourth anniversary of the hero's death.
RETURN OF JOHN FROST TO NEWPORT.—The town cif
Newport was the scene of considerable excitement on
Monday last, owing to the expected arrival of John
Frost, who, it will he recollected, was banished for life
for the part he took in the Chartist riot of 1839.
THE WEATHER.--The temperature of the atmosphere
kts been exceedingly sultry fer the last eight days. For
acme years past the heat had not reached so high a de-
gree of intensity, arid there does not appear to be any
immediate prospect of a change. Under the influence
of a genial sun the crops have advanced towards maturity
with almost unprecedented rapidity, and the aspect of
the country is luxuriant in the extreme, and gives token
of an unusually plenteou3 harvest. This is true of all
descriptions of crops, roots as well as cereals. On
Thursday afternoon we experienced a visitation of thun-
der and lightning. There were several distant peals,
which, with one or two exceptions, were not loud in this
locality, but t.e lightning flashes were frequent and
vivid. A few drops of raie descended, but the sty soon
cleared up, and the heat continues in all its fulness.—
