In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was no change in prices. The sales were estimated
at 7,000 bales-1,000 for export and speculation.
The business dozie in the Share Market was mode-
rate, without any change in prices.
Accounts from the French wool markets report
a further decline in prices. At Paris the producers
having consented to a slight reduction, sales were
effected with facility at 2f. 20c. to 2if. for wools in
grease per half kilo., and from sf. to 6f. for washed
wools. The Parisian woollen manufacturers have
retiently been importing Italian wools, chiefly from
Pouille, in the kingdom of Naples, aud Romagna.
which are found to be good combing wools. One
large house has also received from 500 •to

600 bales of wool from Spain. At Cha-
lons-sur-Maine, it was thought at the open-
ing of the season that the price of wools
would be maintained at 10 per cent. advance on
last _year's prices, which for the first week or two
were obtained. Snbsequently vendors found a
diffictiltY-in effecting sales at the advance, and now
they are glaa, to obtain the average ruling prices
of 1855 for wools of all sorts. The market is now

quiet, with a better demand for fine than common
and unwashed wools ; at the same time trans-
actions are becoming fewer, and it is expected that
the season will close with great dullness.

The 133a1C1. of Trade returns for the month end-
ing th© 30th ult, have been issued, and compared
with those of the corresponding period of last year
are considered very encouraging. The imports of
a large number of the most important articles of
manufacture and produce have increased, and the
exports of all articles wire valued at 10,661,0871.
against 8,168,5951. in the like month of 1855. The
shipping returns, both as regards the foreign and
coasting trade, exhibit a material improvement in
commercial-affairs since the restoration of peace.
The Bank of England return for the week end-
ing July 19 is rather 'favourable, all things con-
sidered. In consequence of the export demand
for'specie, and the limited receipts of that article
from America and Australia, the bullion has fur-
ther declined, but not to a material extent, and there
is a slight further reduction in the reserve of Notes.
The other alterations have partly been produced
by the dividend payments.

Anteric..an Railway investments, owing to the
high rates of dividend they generally yield, are
now attracting attention. Michigan, Southern
and Northern Mc:liana stock, which has just been
introduced upon, the books of the London Stock
Exchange, pays 101. dividend at the present mar-
ket price, and is considered one of the first clas3
roads of the United States. The stock has been
taken by strong parties well able to hold it as an in-
vestment, and it must upon its merits advance still
higher.
In the Railway Share Market dealers mention
that they have not experienced so quiet a market
for some time past. Caledonian have declined 55.,
Lancashire and Yorkshires, 10s., North Eastern
York, 10s., and Great Western of Canada, ss:

Mines and Miscellaneous leave been inactive.

14Inerts.—We have not any material alteration to
notice this week in the price or shares, but there has
been a better demand for them in the rnaiket, and seve-
ral buyers have appeared for dividend stocks. Most or
thoie persi.ms who became alarmed at the fall in copper
,have cleared out, and as very few of the present holders
are pressing the market now, the demand at low rates
has been greater than the supply, and we have but little
doubt that when shares are supposed to have reached
their lowest point many fresh purchasers will appear,
and a general reaction take place for most descriptions
of shares. There is no lack of money, except in the
market itself, and many persons who sold out as the panic
commenced did so with a view of buying in cheaper.
before the dividends came round.—Mining Journal of
this .day
THE NATIONAL VACCINE BOARD.—The report of the
National Vaccine Board shows that in the course of the
past year 220,639 charges of lymph have been sent out.
It is gratifying to report that the emplo3 ment of the
lymph ite the various military depots and hospitals at
Scutari, and in the B iltic and Black Sea fleets, has been
.most_sueeessful as a prophylactic, and has effectually
protected our forces against tire spread and ravages of the
loathsome pestilence of sina'lpox. 128,495 vaccinations
are reported, of which 8,637 were performed by the sta-
tionary vaccinators of the board in the' metropolis. The
letters received from correspondents have amounted to
10,539: These bear striking testimony to the efficacy
of the vaccine lymph. Ireland, however, is greatly in
want of a more sufficient supply of the lymph, It is a
subject of regret that the employment of vaccination is
materially impeded both at home and in the c'lonies by.
carelessness, wilful negligence, and the prejudice of. the
poor and ignorant, from which some of the wealthier
classereof society are reported tube by no means exempt.
The effect of the Vaccination Extension Act cannot, for
some years, be satisfactorily ascertained, but the expo-
perienee of board affords strong evilence that there
would be no adequate means of testing it at all without
an unfailing central source of :supply.
