CITY, Two o'CLoca.
The Liverpool Clotton Market yesterday closed
tamely and firmly, at the extreme rates of Friday
last. The sales were 8,000 bales, comprising 6,500
American (1,000 on speculation), 300 Pernam and
Marauham, at 60. to 7d. ; 100 Bahia, at 61d.;
300 Egyptian, at 61-d. to Sid. ; 800 Surat, at W.
to 51d ; and 60 Sea Islands, at is. to ls. 3d. per
lb. The Railway Share Market opened quietly,
but subsequently improved, and closed steadily at
about Tuesday's rates.
Accounts from France state that the season of
1855-1856 for manufacturing indigenous or beet-
root sugar has terminated ; and the result is shown
in the tables published by the director-general of
the department for collecting indirect taxes as fol-
lows :----From the Ist September, 1855, to the close
of August, 1856, the quantity manufactured '
amounted to 92,000,000 kilogrammes. Tiiis ex-
ceeds the production of the preceding year by more
than 47,000,000 kilos. If the quantity held
at the commencement of the season be added,
the total, in round numbers, would be
94,000,000 kilos. Of this quantity, 16,850,000
kilos. were sold at the manufactories, and
62,830,000 kilos. at the entrepots. List year
the deliveries were respectively 15,950,000 and
42,680,000 ditto. At the close of the month of
August there remained on hand at the manufacto-
ries, in sugar and material in progress of manufac-
ture, representing 4,100,000 kilos.,, while at the
corresponding date in 1855 this was only 2,720,000.
The total remaining in the entrepots amounts to
7,470,000 kilos. this year, and 7,095,000 kilos. last
year.

A telegraph message from Marseilles, of the 30th
September, announces a further rise in wheat of
if. 500. to if. 55c. per 160 litres, notwithstanding
the enormous arrivals of grain at that port. This
rise has been caused by the difficulty of replenish-
ing the stocks on hand, and the continued fals e
reports from the sea of Azoff.
The applicants for discount accommodation at the
Bank of England were taken greatly by surprise,
when it was rumoured that the directors, without
waiting for their usual Thursday meeting, when
such measures, with one or two exceptions, hap
hitherto been adopted, had raised the minimum,
to 5 per cent. As the quotation out of doors was
fully up to that point, of course there was a tre-
mendous pressure at the national establishment, at
the official rate of 4r per cent. Consequently, an
immense sum was drawn from the bank, and, in
self defence, the directors were obliged to adopt
the exceptional measure referred to. So unex-
pected, however, was the resolution, that until a
late hour many persons were quite ignorant of it,
as, of course, no one would think of making any
inquiry on the subject on a Wednesday. It is evi-
dent an advance ought to have been made last
Thursday, when every one expected it. The di-
rectors have certainly been too cautious, otherwise
they would not have adopted such an extra-
ordinary proceeding. There was an expectation,
in some quarters, that a further advance would
be made to-day, but the directors have separated
without making any fresh alteration.

As the demand for money still continues very
brisk, partially owing to the preparations for the
" 4th " of the month, when a heavy amount of bills
become due, there is a confident expectation that
a further advance will take place next week in the
official quotation at the Bank of England. The
accounts from the Paris Bourse continue unfavour-
able, and increased stringency in the Money Mar-
ket is anticipated. The allowance for money "on
call" is increased to 4 per cent.
In consequence of the fall yesterday in the
Routes at Paris, and the active inquiry for money,
the Funds opened heavily, Consols being about
921 ; but they soon tended upwards, and when
it became known that no further change had taken
place in the rate of discount the quotations advanced
to 921 g, both for money and the Bth inst. They
have since, however, been 928 I, and now rule at
92k, 93/. The rate of "continuation" to Novem-
ber is about # per cent. Exchequer Bills are de-
pressed at about 7s. to Ms. premium ; and Eist
India Bonds are 10s. to 14s. premium.

In Foreign Securities a moderate business has
been done, but the quotations are very variable.
Turkish 6 per Cents. have ranged from 982 to 99a
for account, and the 4 per Cents. are 100 k a. Por-
tuguese 4 per Cents. have been 442 ; Mexican,
22 ; Brazilian New 41 per Cents., 9711 ; and
Dutch 4 per Cents., 951. There has been a bar-
gain in Belgian 4 per Cents, at 97.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stooks Grenada Deferred Bouds, 61 to 7f ;
Mexican, 22 to 221 ; Peruvian, 76 to 78 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 55 to 57 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
43 to 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 to 108 ; ditto 41

422 ; ditto Deferred, 24 24i ; ditto Certificates,

Railway Shares are generally steady, but there
has not been much business transacted. Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, North Western, and some
others have been weaker, but they are now rather
firmer. French Securities are lower, owing to
the depressed state of the Bourse. Paris and
Lyons have declined 10s. to 1/. The Great Wes-
tern of Canada are also flatter. Rigas are Ito 1k
prem.

Joint-Stock Bank Shares are very dull, but
generally firm. Miscellaneous Shares also attract
but little attention.
