CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, of which 500 Surat were taken on speculation.
The market closed heavily at the decline noticed yester-
day. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 150 Per-
nam and Maranhatn at 54d. to 6id., 400 Egyptian
chiefly at 6d., and 1,000 Surat at 2d. to 3td. per lb.—
The Share Market was steady, with very little business
doing. _ _

The amount of business done this week in the produce
markets have not been large, and prices generally have
undergone no particular change. sugar has been rathe
quiet, but steady. Coffee the same. Cotton and Ricr
a little cheaper. Tea and Tallow dull, and moss
spices in request.

The accounts from abroad read well generally, and
there is still much confidence expressed by commercial
men, who write to their correspondents here that gra-
dually business will improve.

The Stock Market continues very quiet, but is never-
theless firm, and there is en appearance of improve-
ment. Consols for the opening have realised 96i to
ex. dividend. The bullion in the Bank of England
will, it is expected, show a decided increase
again by the returns of this evening. Exchequer-bills
hare been quoted 485. to 515., and India Bonds 625.

at 2144.

The Foreign Securities have been buoyant generally,
but with greater fluctuation. Spanish Three per Cents.
have been 401, and the New Deferred Threes 161,
The dividend on the latter will be paid as fast as
the conversion progresses on and after the Ist of
January next. The Five per Cents. have not been
dealt in, and are nominally 21 to 211. Mexican

fallen, upon sales being pressed in realization
of profits, to 93. Buenos Ayres Bonds have been
done at 50. Sardinian Bonds have been at 834.1. French
Four per Cent. Routes have been quoted 98, with the
exchange at 25 30, and the Threes 62. Venezuela
Stock has been at 351 to 36. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 58 to 591; and Russian Four-and-
a•lialf per Cents., 102 to 1021.
Railway Shares have been very quiet, and there has
been no alteration of importance in the quotations,
Some of the smaller lines are in request. French Shares
are in request, and there is a rise in Paris and Stras-
bourg, and Sambre and Meuse. Dutch Rhenish are still
inquired for, but not at higher prices.

The private accounts from California are of such a
favourable character that the demand for mine shares
is expected to increase. It appears, too, that Colonel
Freemont has nut disposed of his interest in the Mari-
posa estate, and the companies therefore will not have to
treat with new parties.

Royal Mail Steam Company's shares are dearer.
