Important transacions were entered into in the

Accounts from lavre state that trade generally,
'it that port; we:, brisk. In the Cotton Market,
Iring the week, business has been steady, with an
Prevenient of ioc. to If. per 50 kilos. Very or-

ec)ri*".Pondiig period last year. The arrivals from
the United States from the Ist Jan. to that.date,
s°. reprised 92,467, against 25,201 in 1855, show-
Illg the increase of this branch of trade between
the French sea ports and America. Of Flour
the inorts from the United States are smaller on
Feriae

jauee per barrel, and not much in demand. In

uhelise there is great activity in all the manu-
factories of cotton threads and tissues, in conse-
enee of the increased demand, and pricesc have
onse-
quencesee gradually and in a manner which gives satis-
f
4etieu to vendors.
The letters from the manufacturing districts state
that during the past week no change of importance
ecurrect In Manchester there was an increased
Inquiry for some articles suitable for the Indian
14 ltkets, and double yarns for the Yorkshire and
Russian trade were in fair request at full prices.
The
mails by the Lightning from Australia have
vet Yet been delivered, but a few papers have been
Aecel'ied in the city through private channels.
eceutits from Van Diemen's Land state that the
market,. for breadstuffs was in rather an anomalous
c
itc?dition. Large quantities of wheat were being
thPerted, which was very unusual, and the crops
at would soon be secured were likely to prove
ernrY abundant.
2114'he Corn trade is inactive to-day, and wheat is
',Per quarter lower than on Monday last.
Fur
is very little animation in the English
pc)°l: Market, and the quotations are rather heavy.
:gross
information from Paris with regard to the
:gross of the Conferences not having arrived so
kto". as was expected some of the weaker specu-
-40 I's are rather less confident of an early
illitllelesion of a ,peace, and their sales have

tz but they have since been 921 and the
6e4)uet values have been 924 and 921 1. The

change of importance has occurred in the
Filway Share Market, but the tendency is in the
of a decline, owing to the dullness of the

I%Torth British, however, are firmer. The
thteneb, Belgian, Canadian, and East India lines,
111'0 quiet, are firm.
ining Shares are generally nominal, and in
theJeint Stock Banks there have been very few
dealings. As regards the shares of the Companies
te eeritlY formed, the transactions in them are very
Zted, and they nearly all stand at a discount.

Maintained. Canada Land Shares are heavy, but
the various other Miscellaneous Securities are
without any change requiring special notice.
