The Liverpool Cotton MarTket yesterday CLocni
closed , f rmly, but prices were not actually higher. The i 2,
a ales were 10,000 bales, 1,500 bales for export and 4
1 ,000 on speculation, comprising 100 Pernam and i3i
liaranham, 6;d to''id. ; 200 Bahia, 6 7-16 d ; 300
c,
Mgyptian, 62d. to 9d. ; 400 Surat, 4d. to 4d.; and 1
120 Sea Islands, 11d. to is. 7d. per lb. In. the '7
22
`Share Market the were mited, but Prices Were Steady at the fulltransactions rates of Tliuesday, and
25
an some cases at an advance. St.
St.
Accounts from France contain the official report 50
on the result of the great annual mercantile fair at vs
Beaticaire, which doss(' on the 31st of last month.
20u
Compared with previous fairs, the extent of opera- 10
lions has not been so great, nor the results so 15,(0,
satisfactory, which is attributed solely to the dis- es
tress created by the recent inundations, in the St.
vicinity of which the fair was held. The articles
st
m en t .
t,
ioned in the report, of most interest, are
wool and silk. At the beginning of the fair ~,.
there was a srnall supply of wool brought it
for sale, and at that period the manufacturers were , short of the raw material, consequently it sl ;'u.
came to a good market and realised high prices ; 1..9. hie. towards the close of the fair, there were large 5u
20 i
Supplies, and rates were affected by the exports
it.l
from other niarkets, so that the general result was 10 j
much the same as last year, and averaged 6 francs
gt.l
per kilo. for rnerinoes, 4f. 70c. for metis, and 3f. E..il.t 25c• for inferior ; the choice kinds of merinoes Bf., 811
and ditto lambs Bf. 50c. In silk there was an St.
active business. doi'.3g during the fair, and the stocks
1.2
brought for srele were not sufficient for the demand. )0
The average prices. were for Doupion's threads, 38 1.6
to 39 fr. per kilo., Vacluse silks, 105 to 106, and 16.4
Alais, 112 francs.3t
Advices to till.: 24th ult. have been received 3N,
from New York by the steamer Lebanon, which St.
has arrived wit'a $150,000 in specie. Business in Lt-
entton is des( ;Jibed as having been very dull,
10
buyers having refused to operate except at lower 12i
prices. Flour . had risen in value, and e pur- ;ot'
chases had b( on made for shipment
tolarg Europe.
Freights cons equently ruled firm. In speculative 25
securities the dealings were exceedingly limited,
st.
and quotatio cv.i therefore Were heavy no improve- ii2s
went expect ea for some time to come, as many of Is-Z
the leading dealers were absent from the Ci y
3t,
taking their : customary summer holiday. 50
The Into lrnational Coasting Company (the pro- 25100
spectus of - which has appeared in our advertising
2t columns) i
.s attracting attention among the invest- 58 I
in, publi(; as the prospects of the undertaking are
of a proroising character. It is proposed to raise a
a 1
capital of 320,0001. for the purpose of supplying 3t.
steam c ounnunication along the whole seaboard of St.
the continent, " where," as the promoters state,
St.l
" trading operations are now carried on by small st. j
sailir,g ships, which are quite unsuited to the prep 5. '
sent necessities of commerce." There are to be 25
Corr unittees of supervision in France, London,
~i. 9
Southampton, and Belgium ; and there can be no gl..
doubt that, if properly managed, the earnings will to
yield a high rate of interest on the subscribed
capital.
20
20
The Directors of the Riga and Dunaburg
Corn- lio.
meatsave very properly submitted all the docu- lot
rela.ting to the undertaking to the committee 1.
of the Stock Exchange, who, after carefully inves- 9
tigating their contents, will no doubt pass an St.
50
opinion on their value. Whether It will then be seen j.
rect t.
the they have justified the views set forth by 6to
rectors, who, it is said, are still confident of 20
Obtainingon
those Privileges which were spoken of in V.,
original prospectus. Pending the decision of 95
the Stock Exchange Committee, it is unadvisable 25
to gtv© credence to the various statements now in et.
circulation with regard to this affair. st.
No change has been made in the Bank of Eng- 25

sag
ot been sufficiently serious to justify such a
20
ure. When the settlement at the Stock Ex- 10
teahkaensge is over and a renewal of specie receipts -
Place the market will probably assume an
easier appearance, but it is likely that the demand 10

stock s" on account of capital on the new joint-
undertaking, will tend to maintain the pre-
quotations for discount accommodation. 5
, At a meeting of the London and County Bank, 10
18
held this day, a dividend of 5 per cent, for the
half-year free from income tax, upon the paid-up is
capital of the Bank, leaving a balance of 10,8191. 11)
-1-61 7d. to be carried forward to the next account, 6
Wag unanimously agreed to.

The arrangement of the speculative account still ,;(:1
tells in an unfavourable manner on the value of ~,
Public Securities, a further decline of I-, to 1 per :0
cent, having occurred this morning. There is a 20
good demand for money in the " House,", and the 20
rate for " continuation "is 7-is to 1 per cent. 20
Consols for money have been 91i i, but they have ig
since risen to 95g. A ; and for account (September) To'
