The Sun.
London, England, 1856-07-10 00:00:00

The Liverpciol Citton Market yesterday closed
quietly, but steadily, and, compared with Friday's
range, prices of all kinds were unchanged. Surats,
from their scarcity, were a point dearer. The sales
were estimated at 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which
500 have been taken for export, and 1,000 on spe-
cllation. The sales include 370 Peruam and
Maranham, at 60. to 7,24. ; Bahia, 6i to 6 7-16 d.
690 Egyptian, 6id. to £3,(1. ; and 800 Surat, 4d. to
41d. per lb. In the Railway Share Market an
improvement took place, but no great amount of
business was done.

Accounts from Lyons state that a rise has taken
place in the price of tallow in that market. On the
Bth inst. the price quoted was 133 f., and offers of
132 f. were refused by the holders. Former prices
ruled at 118 f., 120 f., 122 f. Holders of best quali-
ties are demanding 130 f. and 137 f. The candle
manufacturers at Lyons, in consequence of this
rise, have ordered largely from Marseilles and
London. The market at Paris likewise exhibits a
tendency to rise, particularly for the finer quali-
ties of tallow.

Accounts from Hamburg state that, daring the
last month, there have been numerous arrivals at
that port of American vessels laden with rye, which
is immediately landed and conveyed by railway to
the Silesian provinces of Prussia, where a scarcity
of this article exists. Amongst these vessels, one
had come direct from Philadelphia with a cargo of
16,735 buJiels of rye, which was all sent by rail-
way to Prussia.

The mail-ship, Oliver Lang, from Victoria, has
arrived off Holyhead, but the amount of gold she
brings is not yet known.
The Money Market at the present moment is in
a rather anomalous position. In Lombard-street
two and four months' bills together have been dis-
counted at 33, and four months' bills alone at 4
per cent. ; and the supply of capital is so abundant
that there is some difficulty in finding full employ-
ment for the means at the disposal of the bankers
and others. Notwithstanding this, however, the
Bank of England minimum rate remains at
4:1 per cent., no alteration having been made
at the " parlour" meeting held to-day. It
Is, therefore, dear that some unfavourable
symptoms in connection with monetary affairs have
manifested themselves. The eflux of specie to the
Continent (although at present limited), the posi-
tion of the foreign exchanges, and the large pur-
chases of silver now being made for the Continent
are no doubt among the circumstances which have
mfluenced the Directors in maintaining their pre-
sent rate. Perhaps the next Bank of England
return—viz., that to be published in the Gazette to-
Morrow-will show a falling off in the bullion as large
sums have been transmitted to the Continent, and
the receipts of gold from Australia, &c., have been
small. The progress of the Money Market for the
text two or three days will be anxiously watched,
since opinion seems now generally divided as to
'whether the minimum will be reduced, or otherwise,
la the course of the next few weeks.

The feeble condition of the Paris Bourse, and
the announcement yesterday of the stoppage of a
French banker, have increased the flatness of
the English Funds. Still, it cannot be said
that prices have a downward tendency. Beyond
an or I per cent. there has been no important
variation during the last few days, aud, all things
consider ed, the market is ♦ery firm. This being
account day, the dealers are occupied in making
the usual arrangements. Consols for money have
been 952. 951 I, and since again at the former
values. For August they are 96 to 961. The
New Threes are 961 to 97. The Reduced 95173-
to 96k. Bank Stock is 2181. Exchequer Bills are
heavy, at 16s. to 19s. premium.
The Peruvian Dollar Bonds, as they are called,
have attracted attention during the last day or two,
and an advance to 61 has occurred this morning.
This security bears 41 per cent, interest, payable in
America, and as the dividends are derived from the
proceeds of the guano, just the same as those of the
4i per cents., payable in London, and now worth
about 82 or 83. Making allowance for the ex-
change between England and America, it is con-
sidered that there ought not to be so great li
a difference in the value of these two securities.
The Dollar Bonds being therefore considered cheap,
are in demand, and hence their upward move-
nlebts. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to
104 A', and they were marked at one period as luw
a 8 103 i -a. The 4 per Cents. rule dull, at 106 k.
Itusiian 5 per Cents, are 1121, Sardinian 92 to
92i, and Spanish Threes 461. Mexican Stock is
23, Buenos Ayres 88, and Dutch 4 per Cants. 971.

to this day, are in round figures as under

The Railway Share Market is quiet and prices
exhibit scarcely any change. Some of the principal
lines are slightly depre,sed, but there is no general
Inovement of importance. Foreign and colonial
are flatter, except East Indian, which are at a
slight advance. Rigas are marked 53 a being
higher.
