ONEY MARKET

AND

VOIVIMERCIAIi INTruiGrwcr..

CITY, Two o'CLoolt.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
firmly, and prices of Americans were id. per lb.
dearer than on Friday. The sales were 8,000
bales (1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation),
comprising 350 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to
71d. ; 300 Egyptian, fiid. to 9d. ; 800 Surat, 4!,d.
to 51d. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened
quietly, but subsequently improved, and closed
firmly at the best point. With regard to the busi-
ness transacted in wool, at Liverpool, during tie
past month, Messrs. Abram, Gartside, and
Company state as follows :—" At the public
sales, which commenced here on the 2fitir ult.,
and terminated on the 3d inst., there were offered
9,386 bales East India, 4,398 Peruvian, and 4,501
otter wools. The principal pare found buyers at
an advance of Id. per lb. on tb e rates produced at
our public sales in June, and equal to the London
August series. The general attendance was large,
continental buyers being in greater force than
usual, and as they purchased very freely we attri-
bute the maintenance of our present quotations to
their competition with the Yorkshire buyers, who
came here anticipating a decline in consequence of
the falling off in Government orders for the blanket
district, where East 'lndia wools are chiefly used.
East Indias were all sold at ls. 01d. to ls. 3d.
for fine white, 70.. to ls. ; coarse to middling do.,
10id. to ls. Old ; fine yellow, 7d. to 10d. ; coarse
to middling do., 51d. to 6id. ; unwashed do., 7d.
to 91d. ; fine, coloured, 2d. to 3d. ; refuse and
burry native yellow, 4d. to 4W. ; native black,
40. to 54d. ; native grey, M. to 3id.
Commercial advices from Germany mention that
the delegates of the States of ,the Zollverein have
assembled at Weimar, and, ;after a long debate,
have rejected the proposition brought forward by
Prussia to raise the duty on manufactured and leaf
tobacco imported into Germany. The proposition
intended to reduce the duty on foreign iron has
not betn received with unanimity, and the result
of their deliberations on this subject has been to
retain the law at present in force. During the
mreater number of their meetings it has been re-
'marked that the members generally sepa-
rated themselves into two parties—one party who
defends the material interests of the com-
mercial states in the south of Germany, and the
other' cambatting for the predominance in the
northern States. The consequence is, that very
little has been done towards the reform of the cus-
toms throughout the Zollverein Union by this
ranch talked of conference.
The accounts from the German bourses are more
favourable, especially at Berlin and Vienna ; and
the restrictions adopted by the bankers at Frank-
fort, LeiPsig, and other central commercial towns,
to prevent the drainage of silver thalers, has im-
proved the money markets generally ; while there
is also a reduction going on in the quantity of
paper money in circulation.
The inquiry for discount accommodation in
Lombard-street and at the Bank of England is
quieter, but the rates are fully maintained. It is
thought that if large arrivals of gold were to take
Place from Australia, and several vessels are now
overdue, the money market would experience some
relief) especially as a large exportation to France is
3307 r going on. About 150,000/. in specie was
fozwarded yesterday, and purchases are reported
tbe made for the Bank of France. The wretched
State of affairs in Paris still excites uneasiness,
and the private advices give no encourage-
bleat to the expectation of an early im-
provement. A cessation of cash payments
is still spoken of, but it can scarcely be supposed
-that such an extreme measure will be attempted.
There is already much distress ; provisions are
dear and rents high, which would only be rendered
More irksome in the event of that course being
adopted. It is questioned whether the recent re-
strictions will effect the object intended, and others
of a more onerous description, it is thought, must
be imposed. In some of the other Continental
money markets, there is .a slight improvement.
At Ramburg much less excitement prevails, and
the rate of discount has declined from 9 to about 7i
Per cent.

The arrangement of the speculative account in
Consols has so far passed off satisfactorily, and it
'ls not expected that much, if any, serious embar-
rassments will result from the transactions of the
last month. The losses, which have been heavy,
have generally fallen on wealthy parties ; but the
outside parties have, no doubt, also suffered. The
charge for carrying over has remained at to it
Per cent. A. large quantity of stock has been sold
by influential parties, but the effect on the market
bat not been very important. Consols for money
opened at 91a but afterwards declined to 91-1
and they are now about 911 The prices for the
6th proximo have been 91.3 and since 92!

The Railway Share Market is particularly
steady, the variation not having exceeded to
Some of the principal lines are firmer, but others
remain heavy. Very little business, however, has
• been transacted, owing to attention being directed
to the Conaol settlement. The Northern of France
shares are 10s. higher, and the Dutch Rhenish
have recovered to 121 The Canadian shares
are firmer.

Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous are neglected.
