La-ONE Y MARKET

0-•0D 1 INTEL U. Cillti;,';

'l., Two o'CLoch_

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and was well
supplied, but prices of all descriptions were unal
tered. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales,
1,000 of which were taken on speculation. The
Railway Share Market exhibited a quiet appear-
ance, and prices were a shade lower than on Thurs-
day.

In the markets for Foreign and Colonial produce
this week a limited business has been transacted,
but prices have been fully supported, and in a few
instances a slight advance has been (established.
Solve descriptions of West India Sugar have ad-
vanced 6d. to is. per cwt., but within the last few
days very little business has been reported. Coffee
has realised full rates, but a very small quantity
has been offered at public sale. Tea has been quiet
but steady, at 9i to 9i- for good common Congou.
Itice has been dull, but at fully previous quota-
tions, and some of the lower descriptions have
rather tended upwards. In Spices the transactions
have been limited, and Pepper, Pimento, Cassia
I4gnea, and Nutmegs, are cheaper.
• There has been less excitement in the Saltpetre
market, and a decline of Is. per cwt. has taken
Place. Tallow has been quiet, but firm.
There is very little foreign intelligence this
I:naming, owing to the delay in the arrivals of the
French mails. Recent accounts from Paris notice
rather a more active demand for money, and judg-
ing from the Bank of France returns, issued to-day,
!here appears to have been very little abatement
'll the inquiry duringthe past month, notwithstand-
ing the increased rate which is reported to have pre-
vailed. This return, however, is considered favour-
?hie, inasmuch as it shows a large increase in the
bullion, and a decline in the advances on rentes
and railway securities.
The subjoined notice, relative to the Oriental
Gab Company, was posted in the Stock Exchange
this morning :
