COMMERCIAL TNT.ELLIGENOZ,

CITY, Two o'CLooLl.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, but with a firm feeling, compared with
Friday's rates. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales,
of which 1,000 were taken by the speculators and
1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market
closed quietly, but prices were fairly sustained.
Advices from Havre, of the 25th inst., state that
a public sale of wool had taken place there, chiefly
from La Plata, Syria, Algeria, Bombay, and
Russia. The sale was well attended by foreign pur-
chasers, the majority of whom bought only to supply
their immediate wants. The result was considered
very favourable for LA Plata wools, of which all
that had been brought to market was disposed of,
and the prices realised for the finer qualities were
better than usual. On the other hand, the wools
Of India, Syria, and Algeria were not much in
demand, and the greater portion offered for sale
was bought in.
At the quarterly meetingof the Sortridge Consols
Mining Company, held this day, a report was pre-
sented, from which it appeared that a profit of
670/. 3s. 11d. had arisen from the working of the
three months. A dividend of 2s. 6d. per share
was declared.
There continues to be a brisk inquiry for money,
and full rates are still charged for the negotiation
of mercantile bills. It is not so much the active

inquiry which is complained of as the scarcity of
capital which is experienced. Telegraphic ad-
vices received this morning from Hamburg re-
port a further decline in discounts at that city.
The further withdrawal of gold from the Bank
of England has given rise to additional uneasiness,
40,0001. having, it is alleged, been taken away yes-
terday. The 260,0001. just received from New
York, however, will, it is hoped, supply the export
demand until the arrival of the James Baines from
Melbourne.
Yesterday afternoon the Committee of the Stock
Pachange passed the following resolution, relative
to the shares of the Crystal Palace Resolved,
Unanimously, that in consequence of the extra-
ordinary conduct pursued by the Directors of the
Crystal Palace Company, in denying the validity of
transfer of shares which had been registered at the
°flee of the company, the committee will not re
cognise any further dealings in the shares of the
1:)1131)any, and direct that the name of the company
be struck out of the official list.

The Market for Public Securities is rather more
aotive, but the purchases for investment by the
Public are limited. There is increased firmness in
the market at the present moment, but the ope-
rators, do not appear to speculate with much
confidence in this direction. Consols have
been 91 to 921 and 92 for menu, while
for the 6th proximo the dealings have been at 92i
I. The December price is 921 Exchequer

The transactions in Railway Shares this morning
have been very limited. Some of the leading lines
have shown a slight improvement, but, generally,
prices are steady. Great Western, North Western,
South-Western, and South-Eastern have advanced
about ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Market,
