MONEY MARKET

COMMU.CILA.L INT MLLIGME.

I'Y, Two o'n-1.3c-k_
In the Liverpool Cotton Al :arket yesterday there
was no change in prices. Th a sales were estimated
at 7,000 bales-1,000 for ex} Kort and speculation.
The business done in the Shal -e Market was mode-
rate, without any change in I nices.
Accounts from the French wool markets report
a further decline in prices. A t Paris the producers
having consented to a slight reduction, sales were
effected with facility at 2f. 20s:. to 2if. for wools in
grease per half kilo., and from sf. to 6f. for washed
wools. The. Parisian woollen manufacturers have
recently been importing Italian wools, chiefly from
Pouille, in the kingdom of Naples, and Romagne,
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-stir-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. Subsequently vend ors found a
difficulty in effecting sales at the adv ante, and now
they are glad to obtain the average ruling prices
of 1855 for wools of all sorts. Thu) market is now
quiet, with a better demand for fine than common
and unwashed .wools; at the same time trans-
•aotions are becoming fewer, anti it is expected that
the season will close with grev.t dullness.
The Board of Trade returns for the month end-
ing the 30th ult. have been issued, and compared
with those of the corres'ponding period of last year
are considered very enc:ouraging. The imports of
a large number of the most important articles of
manufacture and prodrice have increased, and the
exports of all articles Torero valued at 10,661,0871.
against 8,168,5951. in the like month of 1855. The
shipping returns, 13,3 th 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.

American Railway. investments, owing to the
high rates of divid end they generally yield, are
now attracting attention. Michigan, Southern
and Northern Indiana 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 class
roads of the United States. The stock has been
'taken by strong parties well able to hold it as an in-
vesttnent, 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, lOs., North Eastern
York, lOs., and Great Western of Canada, ss.
Mines and Miscellaneous have been inactive.

MINES.—We have not any material alteratiop to
noties this week in the price of shares, bat there has
been a better demand for them in the market,- and seve-
ral buyers have appeared for dividend stocks. Most of
those. persons who became alarmed at the fall in copper
lays cleared out, and as very few of the present holders
're pressing-the market now, the demand at low rates
has been greater than the supply, and we have bnt 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 moat descriptions
shares.. .`there is no lack of -.money, • except in the
tearket 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

T.IIA 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 employment of the
Yrnph in the various military depots and hospitals at
SelltVi, and in the Baltic and Black Sea fieeto,
,has been
!nest successful as a prophylactic, and has effectually
Protected our farces against the spread ond.ravages of the
loathsome pestilence of smallpox. 128,496 vaccinations
are reported, of which 8,637 Were performed by the sta-
tioner- .
y vaccinators of the board in the metropolis. The
lettere received from correspondents have amounted to
10,539. These bear striking testimony to the efficacy
ofthe eaceine• Ireland, however, is greatly in
want of a morn sufficient supply of the, lymph, It is a
subject of regret that the-employment of vaccination is
ralltetiallrimpeded both at home and in the colonies by
careheeness,.wilful negligence, and• the prejudice. of the

The effect ofthe Vaccination Extension Act cannot, -for
