COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLooR.

The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
firmly, but with less excitement, and the prices of
Americans and Surats were Id. per lb. dearer than
on Friday last. All other kinds were unchanged.
The sales were 12,000 bales, 2,000 for speculation,
Comprising 1,200 Pernam and Maranham, 6id. to
7id. ; 500 Bahia, 61d. ; 400 Egyptian, 6}d. to 9d.;
1,000 Surat, 40. to 41d. ; and 1,000 Sea Islands,
is. to Is. 7d. per lb. The Railway Share Market
Was quiet, and prices were much the same as on
Saturday.

Accounts from Copenhage❑ state that the nego-
tiations relalive to the Sound Dues aro progressing
actively between the Danish Government and the
representatives of the States interested. The only
difficulty which now appears to retard the solution
of this international question is the division of
the capital to be received from the different mari-
time States. This division is based upon the num-
ber and tonnage of vessels which they have re-
spectively sent into the Baltic during the last 20
years.

Commercial advices from Antwerp contain a
trade report for the week ended the 30th August,
Which exhibits great steadiness in prices, without
any large amount of business having been done,
excepting in grain—the transactions in wheat and
rye having been numerous. The coffee market
continued firm, with a disposition on the part of
holders of stocks to raise the price, in consequence
of the pressing demand. In wool a limited amount
of business was done, but the market ruled steady,
and buyers were dealing with reserve at the prices
demanded for Buenos Ayres and Monte Video
Wools.

Trade in the textile manufacturing districts con-
tinues in a sound but quiet state. The improved
State of the weather during the last day or two,
and the favourable accounts of the progress of the
harvest have imparted increased confidence among
the holders, but no extension of business ean y,t
be reported.

There is rather more inquiry for discount ac-
commodation in Lombard-street, and at the Bank
of England, as the 4th of the month approaches ;
but no inconvenience is experienced, and the
rates remain without Tariation. For harvest
°Aerations there is a steady absorption of
esPital, but as business in all departments
continues dull, the high rates which money still
eftumands do not press very heavily upon the com-
mercial interests. A few weeks hence, however,
trade, as usual at that particular period of the
rear, will no doubt revive, and the inquiry for
cash may therefore increase. On first-class paper
accommodation is still procurable at 4f per cent.
The Market for English Stocks is rather heavy,
a large sale of Stock having had the effect of de-
Pressing the Funds to the extent of /I per cent.
The transactions have not been numerous, and the
aPPearance of the market is exceedingly inac-
tive. Consols for money and account, although
at one period 951 f, are now about 95 to
951. Exchequer Bills are about 12s. to 15s. prem.,
and the Bonds rule at 1001. The New Three per
Cents. have been 95f to 96, and the Reduced
951 India Stock is 235, and Bank Stock 220.
In the Foreign Market there is very little alter-
ation to notice, and the prices rule firm. Turkish
6 Per Cents. are maintained at 1031 I, and the
Per Cents. are about the same. Swedish 4 per
Cents. are marked 85k. Brazilian 3 per Cents.
163, and Sardinian 92 to 92k. Spanish 3 per Cents.
„shave been dealt in at 441, and the Deferred 25k.
'inlet, 4 per Cents. are 98 to 98i.
r, The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
cltocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican,
22i 23 ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 60;
l'„.(3rtuguese 3 per Cents., 45i ; Russian 5 per
umits., 108 10 ; ditto 4, per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa-
nish 3 per Cents., 441 5f ; ditto Deferred, 25 5i ;
ditto Certificates, 6 6i ; ditto Passive, 611 '7.
There is a quiet market also for Railway Shares,
*Which are generally flatter. Caledonians have
slightly improved ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee
- ?We firm, and North British have risen 10x. to 11.
south-Eastern, Lancashire,and South-Western,are
rather lower. Great-Western of Canada are fluc-
tuating, having been marked 25, 24k, 25i, and
24i. Grand Trunk of Canada are 141 1. Foreign
shares are nominally steady. Rigas are li pm.
Foreign and Colonial Mining Shares are dull,
hut arm.
• Banking shares are generally supported, and the
ottoman are a fraction better. Royal British,
however, have dropped 2/. to 31., owing to some
unfavourable rumours. They are now marked 27
and 24. General Omnibus Co.'s shares are 4to 4i,
being firmer, and National Discounts rule steady.

he ultimate judgment cannot be looked for before a
