CITY, Two o'CLoca.
The Liverpool Cott on Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices o f American were 1-16 d. per
lb. lower than last -cc eek, but all other sorts were
unchanged. The sales were 6,000 bales, 1,500 for
export, and 500 on speculation—comprising 200
Pernam and Mara, uhaw, at 62d. to ; 100
Egyptian, 61d. to Nd. ; and 300 Surat, Cd. to
51d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
rather active, and n any of the leading stock 3 were
extensively dealt in al; improved prices.
Accounts from Lyo 3s state that the tallow mar-
ket was active and p ricer well maintained on ac-
count of the advices fr.)un London reporting a rise.
Beef tallow was sold at 126 f. to 128 f., and mutton
ditto at 146 f. to 148 f. At the close of the market
Solders of stock were not inclined to sell lowest
qualities under 128 f. The advices received from
Russia also mention t hat the exports are limited on
account of the advance in freights, and the
small quantity of tallow for sale in the prin-
cipal markets. This; has been chiefly caused by
the exports of 1854, having comprised the
whole of the stock;; accumulated from previous
years, so that the produce of the present year will,
no doubt, have been all exported at the close of
the navigable season, without, as formerly, leaving
a portion to add to the next year's exports. At
Marseilles there is a considerable quantity of tal-
low imported from Italy, and sales have been
effected at 138 f. for delivery at the entrepot. In
other continental markets there is every appearance
of tallow advancing in prices as the winter season
approaches ; and it would appear from the trade
reports generally that the demand is greatly on
the increase, especially in the finer class of tallow.
The Colonial Produce Markets during the past
week have been rather dull, but no general decline
i n prices has taken place. For sugar there has
been very little inquiry, and a reduction of 6d.
per cwt. has had to be submitted to where sales
have been pressed. Coffee has generally ruled
firm at full rates, but some of the lower
qualities have been rather cheaper. Tea has been
quiet, rice 3d. to 6d. cheaper, and cocoa firm.
Saltpetre, cochineal, and tallow have been firm, but
not active. In spices the transactions have been 3'L
limited. Wool at public sale has realised previous 10,
quotations, and there is a good attendance of both -It.

The suspension of another small country bank,
viz., the Hemel-1113repstead and Watford, has been
announced, the London agents having refused to
pay its notes. It had authority to issue notes to
the extent of 23,8421. The liabilities, it is reported,
amount to about 70,0001.
It is stated that a large portion of the gold
brought by the Royal Charter from Australia has
been purchased for transmission to the Continent.
The English Funds are exceedingly firm at pre-
♦ious quotations, but there is very little business
to report. Consols for Money have been 95 Is,
and 95i for Account. The New 3 per Cents, were
96 to 96/, and the Reduced 954 Bank Stock
was 21k. Exchequer Bills are firm at 9s. to 13s.
