COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

. . .
CITY, Two o'CLocK
The Liierpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with a firm feeling, but without much activity
being displayed. All kinds of American were id.
per lb. dearer, and qualities from sd. to 51d. per
lb. were Id. to Id. higher, and all other sorts
were unchanged. The sales were 12,000 bales,
comprising 930 Pernam and Maranham, at 6i.t. to
611• ; 340 Bahia, at 61d. ; 500 Egyptian, at 61d.
to 90. ; 1,000 Surat, at 4kd. to qd. ; and 100
Sea Islands. The Railway Share Market was
steady, at an advance of nearly i per cent. on all
the leading stocks.
Reports from the. Prussian wool markets state
that at no period has there been so much anima-
tion and buoyancy. as during the month of March.
111 86$e measure this has been attributed to the
dullness in other commercial matters. The
demand for wool on all sides has been unusually
great, and the brokers have found it impossible to
beet it. With the exception of some small lots,
Purchasecton account of France and England, the
entire *duce in stock, and a great portion of the.
ensuing clip, has been bought by the manufacturers

)°OO quintals (1,100,0001bs), but for the most
Part„, it was defective in quality. This being in-
iicen""
t for the consumption many have bought
au
as wools at 70 thalers per quintal, being an
ad
vaace of sth. on previous prices.
Notwithstanding the preparations made for the
'_lcluidation of the commercial paper falling due to-
morrow, the fourth of the month, the demand for
Inw°ol2°Y-han not been urgent during the last day or
of„, and' this circumstance, together with the fact
the 13ank of France having .lowered its terms of
4,tse°atit, led some parties to suppose that an altera-
irn in the Banirof England minimum would be made
0 14.8 day. The directors, however, separated with-
in any change, but it is still believed
fu s°l4o quarters that the measure cannot be much
aur„th, delaYed. There are several reasons for

bt) hare a beneficial influence. About half a
ulionterlingis known to be on the way from
4hatralia, while other sums, of which there are at
l'resent 'Ms particulars in London, may shortly be
:Peeted. The balance of trade being against the
tt.li States, the continuance of remittances to
