The Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 bai, a, of which 500 American were
talu.n for export. The sales cotoprised 3,500 American,
100 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd., and 300 ,"!.,:urat at 3cl. to 4d.
per lb. The market closed with a downward tendency,
and prices of American were id.. and other kinds id. to
id. per lb. lower than on Friday last.—Railway Snares
were in limited th,mand at rather lower prices.
A steady business has been done this week in the
markets for Colonial produce but prices have in several
instances been lower owing to the fuller supply of some
of the principal staples. Sugar, cofh-e, and tea may be
included in this list. Rice likewise has been cheaper.
Cotton has drooped. Saltpetre has been brisk at fuller
rates.

The Board of Trade return of imports and exports
has been completed fur the month and the five months
ended the sth June. Taking imports the tn3uthly

1850. 1851.
Month 95t1,949 £5 961,393
Five months 26,027,948 27,865,731
This shows an increase on the month and the Live
months, even as compared with the favourable returu or
1850. Contrasted with the year 1849, the augment ttion
is above a miltioa and a halt upon the mou,h, and six
millions and a half upon the five months.
The meeting of the New Zealand Company, fixed for
this day, was adjourned to the 18th instant, by which
time it was hoped the arrangements with the Govern-
ment would be completed.
The meeting of Spanish bondholders proved to be
even more interesting than any of its predecessors.
The important queation under consideration was, whe-
ther the boutih,..d,:rs would submit to the confiscation
of halt the interest in arrear, and d, spite the advoe ut
one solitary member of the committee, Baron Beth--
child, himself a loan contractor, a lessee of Spnish
mines, &c. &c., backed as usual by the many who have
to be grateiul for favours past, or humble for those
to come, the meeting very properly refused
to .suirender their property in the way advised.
The resolutions of the committee were n, t carried in
their original shape, a new one being substituted by
common consent, which rij, cts the proposal of M. Bravo
Murillo, and leaves the matter in the hands of the com-
mittee.

The Funds are looking up. Consols have realised 97
to 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
riskn to 98i and 99. Exchequer-bills have been 495. to
505. premium; and India Bonds 575. premium. It is
rumoured teat the Bank returns this evening will shoe
an increase in the bullion of 120,0001.

The Fort-igu Market is very dull, Mrxican Bonds
are 34k; Peruvian Five per Cents. have been at 89k;
Spanusu Five per Cents. hare been at 21, a❑d the Three
per Cents. at 394; Belgian Four-and-a-Halt per Cents
have been at 924; and Mach Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 59i.
Railway Shares have been generally weak, bat prin-
cipally on account of the paucity of business.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat br our market this week
coastwise, have amounted to 2,85 C quarters. Fresh up to-
day, the receipts by land carriage vere comparatively small,
but of full average quality. On the whole, the show of
samples—as we had a portion of Monday's unsold supply on
offer was tolerably good. As very few millers were in at-
tendance, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home pro-
duce, ruled exceedingly inactive, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Monday last. From abroad, 11,310 quar-
ters of Wheat have reached us, chiefly from the Westward.
Fine dry qualities sold at full rates of currency ;
but, to effect sales of the low and middling
qualities, lower rates must have been submitted to.
The show of Barley was very small, not a single parcel of
English being on the market; most kinds were in moderate
request, at last week's prices. Malt, the supply of which
was moderate, moved off slowly, tut no decline was sub-
mitted to by the factors. Very fey home-grown Oats were
offering. but upwards of 27,000 cuarters of foreign have
come in. The trade was inactive, and damp qualities gave
way 6d per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were the
turn in favour of buyers. A fair business was doing in Flour,
at late rates.

ord to good soft yellow, 32s to 375. Madras grainy yellow
sold at 43s to 45s 6d for good to fine; soft brown realizing
26s 6d to 30s, and yeilow 31s to 35s 6d per cwt. Ceylon

brown at 348 to 36s per cwt. Yellow Havannala ord to tine

CoFFEL—The demand for Ceylon has been limited, and
prices have receded. Plantation has been sold at 52s to
53s 6d for middling, and low middling at 49s to 565,; fine
and fine fine ord went at 44s to 488 and good ant fine ord
pale at 439 to 465; triage 35s to 445, and pea berry 51s to

SAlTriiinE.- There has been an active inquiry, Bengal
refraction per cent being sold at 27s to 28s 6d, and 45t
per cent refraction at 28s 6d to 295.
COTTON.—The market has been easier, and not much has
been doing.

TALLoNV —P Y.C. is 37s 6d to 37s 9il per cwt on the spot.
GREEN FRUIT.—The warm weather has improved the
sale of Oranges and Lemons, which has caused an advance in
the price of the latter. West India Pine-appl s meet with a
ready sale; 15,000 sold at public sale by Keeling and Hunt
were taken freely by the trade at prices proportionate to size
and condition. Nuts dull of sale, the quantity of fresh fruits
now coming to market interfering with the sale.
TOBACCO.—SaIes last montu were 590 hhds, about 300
for export, and 290 hhds for home trade, and in some pur-
chases of the latter a slight concession was made in favour of
buyers. The market since our last has remained quiet, and
buyers in some instances have only purchased to a limited
extent, and to supply immediate wants. Sales of manufac-
tured during the month have been upwards of 600 packages,
at an advance of 3d to 6d per lb for the best brands. Luling
the last few days there has been a good inquiry for expert,
and some sales effected for Germany and the south of Eu-
rope. Imports 97 hbds, deliveries 947 hhds, stock 24,519
hbds, against 23,553 hhds in 1850. Virginia has been in
limited demand, but previous rates fully supported. Sales
70 to 80 hhds chiefly fur Ireland and Scotland, and a few
hhds for export. Recent advices from Richmond have brought
very firm prices, with a slight advance on good and flue.
From Kentucky advices by the last packet are rather more
favourable, and hopes are enter ained that a continuance of
more favourable weather would remove the fears of the planters.
The New Orleans market was quiet, and sales difficult at
previous rates. Sales here have been about 500 hhds, anal
purchases have, as before observed, been made in some in-
stances at a concession to buyers, especially for fine strips.
Holders of a large portion of the stock of home trade Tobacco
have shown no disposition to alter thei, views of the justify-
ing causes for the range of prices which have been existing
for home time past; but there can be no uoubt that they
formed an erroneous opinion as to the extent that substi-
tutes would be introduced. Sales for export may be estimated
at 260 hhds Maryland. Sales about 40 hhds. Prices at
Baltimore were firm ; Havaunah has been in fair demand
at full rates. 147 bales of the new crop was offered publicly,
and, with the exception of a portion which had been sent
forward too soon, were taken by the trade and for export.
The opinion expressed some months ago relative to the new
crop will be found correct; the quality is the best we have bad
for years. Havannah Segars in less demand, with the
exception of a few cases, taken for export, and
some limited purchases, by the trade. Business
during the last month was extremely quiet. Manilla Che-
roots—There was a good demand during the month, and
sales might have been effected to a considerable extent, at a
slight reduction. Manilla Leaf—Nothing done. Br, ail
Leaf Stock - Bare of good and fine soda. Havannah Seed Leaf,
Porto Rico, and Florida very little in the market suitable for
the purposes of the trade. Yara and Cuba in fair demand,
at steady prices. In Columbian the demand has been more
active for good and fine sorts, the stock of which is now very
limited ; sales were made to some extent for export. Ger-
man Leaf has been in less demand, and sales were effected of
mid and ord for cutting purposes at lower prices. Of Amers-
foort several lots were taken for cigar and cutting purposes.
For Negrohead and Cavendish the demand was very active;
and for good and fine brands of the former an advance of 3d
to 6d per lb was submitted to by buyers. Smalls in mode-
rate demand. Stalks (American) more inquired after.
