COVEMEROIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
fru:lly, 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 6-kd. to
; 300 Egyptian, qd. to 9d. ; 800 Surat, 4d.
to bid. 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 the
Mt month, Messrs. Abram, Gartside, and
Company state as follows At the public
'ialee, which commenced here on the 26th ult.,
and terminated on the 3d inst., there were offered
9)386 bales East India, 4,398 Peruvian, and 4,501
other wools. The principal part found buyers at
an advance of Id. per lb. on the rates produced at
our public :3ales in June, and equal to the London
August seri es. The general attendance was large,
continental buyers being in greater force than
usual, and as they purchased very freely we attri-
bute the utaintenance of our present quotations to
their competition with the Yorkshire buyers, who
came here vinticipating a decline in consequence of
the falling off in Government orders for the blanket
district, where East India wools are chiefly used.
Last Indias were all sold at Is. Old. to ls. 3d.
for fine white, 71(1. to Is. ; coarse to middling do.,
100. to ls. Old ; fine yellow, 7d. to 10d. ; coarse

Commercial advices from Germany mention that
the delegate s of the States of the Zollverein have
a'isembled 7it Weimar, and, after a long debate,
have rejecte d the proposition brought forward by
Prussia to r wise the duty on manufactured and leaf
tobacco iml ,orted into Germany. The proposition
latended ) reduce the duty on foreign iron has
not been re ceived with unanimity, and the result
of their deliberations on this subject has been to
retain the taw at present in force. During the
greater um nber of their meetings it has been re-
marked tl lat the members generally sepa-
rated them! :elves into two parties—one party who
defends th Le material interests of the com-
mercial stat, as in the south of Germany, and the
other camb at ting for the predominance in the
northern Sta tes. The consequence is, that very
little has becm done towards the reform of the cus-
toms throul shout the Zollverein Union by this
mush talks(( of conference.
The accoi tats from the German bourses are more
favourable, especially at Berlin and Vienna ; and
the restricti ons adopted by the bankers at Frank-
fort, Leipsit and other central commercial towns,
t° Prevent t be drainage of silver thalers, has im-
Pr°Yed the a money markets generally ; while there
also a r( Auction going on in the quantity of
paper mone,y in circulation.
t The wiry for discount accommodation in
"onibard-! street and at the Bank of England is
quieter, bat the rates are fully maintained. It is
hought t hat if large arrivals of gold were to take
13Iace from,. Australia, and several vessels are now
°N'erdue, I:he money market ;would experience some
ef
esp ecially as a large exportation to France is
fOw going on. About 150,0001. in specie was
°rwardec I. yesterday, and purchases are reported
to
be made for the Bank of France. The wretched
state: of affairs in Paris still excites uneasiness,
nd the private advices give no encourage-
ment, to. the expectation of an early im-
r°veraer it. A cessation of cash payments
}hat
still spoken of, but it can scarcely be supposed
such an extreme measure will be attempted.
There is already much distress ; provisions are
dear and rents high, which would only be rendered
111 Ore irk some in the event of that course being
adopted, It is questioned whether the recent re-
strictions, will effect the object intended, and others
o
tt a mora3 onerous description, it is thought, must
I'6 irepo.e ed. In some of the other Continental
money n latketa, there is a slight improvement.
It 11am1 burg much less excitement prevails, and
`he rate of discount has declined from 9 to about 7,k
Per cent.

The a rrangement of the speculative account in
usols has so far passed off satisfactorily, and it
1111°t e a pected that much, if any, serious embar-
rBl4elits will result from the transactions of the
la:at oke n th. The losses, which have been heavy,
g(nierally fallen on wealthy parties ; but the
-/Itsido.parties have, no doubt, also suffered. The
parr,e
,for carrying over has remained at to 1-
