ITY. Two o7C;r:oc!

The Liverpool CDtton Market yesterday closed

quietly but firmly, and compared wiib last week
`the prices of Americans were extreme; but all
other sorts were witbout alteration. The sales

amotin ted to between 7,000 and 8,000 bales, 1,000
of ~s.hich'were taken for export. The Railway
Share Market opened with a steady aspect, but
after the, announcement that the Bank of England
had raised the rate of discount a yeacgou took
place: The market snbsequently closed, however,
at ifs-lest point.

The commercial a Ivices from Berlin and. Breslau
are tcii the Btlti a
and 10th inst., and report steady
t • andTrogresaive _rumness .being transacted in the
wool:narkets there and in other parts of German.,.
At BteSlau the finer-qualities of Polish wool, and
• •
Russi an 'combing ditto, have been in demand at
full quOtations, ranging 86 to 90 thalers per centner
for the former, and 67 to 78 thalers for the latter;
white: superior ditto, for cloths, realises 100 to 102
thaliars". On- 'the -ether hand, Silesian wools
haie been little sought after, excepting 'some
lots of r;mol. At Berlin the stocks
of .M.eckienburg
.and Pomeranian wools were
lareeu• •-than. usual, and the demand limited.
The prices for Mecklenburg and Pomeranian are
78 to 'B2" thalers: per quintal, and Russian about
70 ilialers ; 'quotations nominal. Accounts re-
ceivea from LOndon of the public sales held here
bavatended to strengthen prices in Germany, and
marry of the manufacturers, who were limiting their
P•
uk‘bases to:their immediate requirements in the
expi?ctation of "a reduction in the prices soon, are
now laying in their stocks at the ruling prices.
Vlie Colonial Produce Markets this week have
been quiet, but in one or two of the principal
statiles the dealinga have been numerous, at full
Pri4i;:- Fier sugar there has been a brisk inquiry,
and;:partibillar descriptions nave realised an advance
0164. to ls.. per. cwt. In the early part of the
week there was a good demand for coffee, at•previ-
OuS rates, but since then plantation Ceylon has
bee sold at rather lower quotations. Cocoa
has, risen about 6d. per cwt. Rice has been firm,
an tea quiet, without change in value. A specu-
lati-re business has been transacted in saltpetre, and
anadvaece of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. has occurred. Foi•
spies the market has- not been active. Cassia
lig, tea bas declined 3s, per cwt. Pimento has been
steady, and an increased inquiry has existed for
per,per. The tallow market has been supported.
• The public sales of colonial wool bare progressed
with firmness, and the attendance of buyers during
Ily).past week has been large.
.. -The Bank of France Return published to-day is
;decidedly more favourable than most parties had
-aetticipated. It shows that the advances on stock
acid railway shares have been much reduced by the
lateasure of restriction recently adopted. The dis-
oaunt business of the establishment has also
itiminished, and the additional amount paid
-las premiums on the purchase of gold is not
. 'very heavy. The other items of the balance-
' sheet are also more encouraging, which has in some
measure 'mitigated the apprehension aroused by .
the advance effected in the rate of discount at the
-Bank of England. The demand for accommoda-
lion is less active, but the requirements of the
yenmniercial community are still very large.
The allowance for deposits "on call" has been
inerea.sed.from 5 to 6 per cent.
In.-the market for English Stools this morning
• very little change has occurred, but a firmer tone
prevails, although the dealings are limited.
- Rather more firmness has been produced
bk the Bank of France Return, but the
uncertain aspect of monetary affairs checks
