COMME-ROIA' INTELLIGENCI.,_

CITY, Two o'(

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
quietly, but firmly, and, compared with Friday's
rates, prices of all kinds were unchanged. The
sales were estimated at 10,000 bales-1,000 for ex-
Port, and 3,000 on speculation. The Railway Share
Market was quiet.
The weekly commercial report from Paris states
that trade generally continues to suffer from the
difficulty of obtaining discounts at the Bank of
Prance, chiefly amongst the manufacturers and
Wholesale houses. The retail dealers who had be-
gan to lay in their winter stocks have restricted
their orders until the Bank resume their ordinary
rates of discount. Business is entirely confined to
the demand for present consumption, and all specu-
lative purchases are suspended. Since the com-
mencement of the month the manufacturers have
received very few orders for exportation ; apparently
the monetary crisis has checked all operations of this
kind. Theadvicesfrons the provincial manufacturers
report a general dullness in business. Buyers of silk
and cotton goodsh tve been veryscarce at Lyons and
Mulhouse ; and also at Amiens, Rheims, and Rou-
baise. The prices of the finer qualities of silk and
woollen fabrics is well maintained, and there is not
Much probability of the manufacturers reducing
them, for the high wages given to the workmen,
and the dearness of the raw materials, leave them
very small profits. At Lyons and St. Stephen the
demand for silk fabrics continues active, but the
looms are not fully employed on account of the
Scarcity of raw material.

The official returns relative 4o the trade and na-
'ligation of the United Kingdom for the month
ending the 30th ult. have been presented this
elorning. Considering the dearness of money and
the quiet state of business, the results exhibited
are exceediugly satisfactory. The declared value of
all the exports is 10,216,671/. against 9,072,6591.
in the same month of 1855, showing an increased
export trade to the extent of 1,144,0121. The
augmentation is apparent in the following articles,
112.) cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, haber-
dashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery,
linen manufactures and woollen and worsted
/aril. The month's imports were larger of
gOlll, barley, flour, raw cotton, cochineal, flax,
currants, rice, saltpetre, raw silk, cassia
bgnea, cloves, brandy, geneva, tea, and wine, but
there was a decrease in the receipts of cocoa, coffee,
Indigo, mahogany, And tobacco. The shipping
accounts show that a much larger tonnage of vessels
Itas employed in the foreign trade as compared with
1855, and the same remark will ale() apply to the
coasting trade.

A rather uneasy feeling has been produced by
the announcement of a resumption of specie with-
drawals from the Bank of England, a small quan-
tity having been sent away on Saturday for the
Continent. Unless large arrivals take place from
America and Australia, it is feared that the item
of bullion in the Bank vaults will further decline
to a serious extent. The James Baines is hourly
expected, however, with a large quantity of gold,
and the Africa, from New York, has been an-
nounced this morning with $794,600 in specie.
The English Funds are rather heavy this morn-
ing, a lull having succeeded the activity which cha-
racterised the market throughout last week. As an
improvement of about per cent. then took place,
some of the speculators are tempted to realise their
Profits and to their opera-ions may be ascribed
acme of the weakness which now prevails. Con-
sole for transfer have been 92i- , and 92i 4.
For the 6th proximo, the bargains have been at
92-i -I, 92# and 924 i• Bank Stock is steady at
213. Exchequer Bills, are 2s. to ss. premium,
and the Bonds 984.
In the Foreign market very few bargains have
been recorded, and the quotations are generally
rather flat. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 881 to 89k,
being almost lower, and the 4 per Cents. rule
heavy at 92l Spanish Committees Certificates
are marked N, Peruvian 3 per Cents. have been
76it the Do. 3 per Cents., 54k, and the Dutch 24
Per Cents. 631.

For railway shares there is also a dull and weak
market, although, up to this hour, the alterations
have not been very important. In several instances
the reaction is kto but, except in one or two of
~.the favourite lines, the transactions are limited.
The Foreign and Colonial are very quiet, at almost
Previous values. Rigas are a shade weaker, being
premiu:n.
Mines and Miscellaneous Shares aro inactive, but
in Banks a few dealings have been recorded at pre-
vious rates.
