CITY, Two o'CLocn
The Liyerp,ol Cotton Market yesterday con-
tinued to manifest a very firm aspect. The sales
were estimated at 10,000 bales, 1,000 for export,
and 2,000 on speculation—comprising 300 Pernam
and 'Maranharn. 60. to 71d. ; 250 Bahia, 6 7-16 d.
to 61d. ; 600 Egyptian, 61d. to 9id. ; 800 Surat,
41d. to sid., and 50 Sea Islands, 11d. to Is. ld.
per lb. The Railway Share Market closed steadily
at a slight advance.
There has been a quiet market for Colonial pro-
duce this week, purchases having chiefly been con-
fined to immediate wants. Prices, however, have
generally been well supported. In sugar the trans-
actions have been moderate, and prices have been
rather firmer. C )flee has been more freely offered,
still previous rates have been maintained. Tea
ruled steady early in the week, but it has since
been somewhat weaker. Rice is heavy. Spices
have been dull, and rum has been bought freely at
firm rates. Tallow has tended upwards, but the
market has exhibited a quiet appearance.
The receipts at the Custom-house at Havre for
the month of June amounted to 3,941,952 f., show-
ing a diminution of 164,029 f. compared with the
same month last year. Large cargoes of American
wheat and flour continue to arrive at that port, and
prices are firm at 90f. per 200 kilos for wheat and
44f- 75e. per barrel for flour. The market for
sugar is likewise firm with a tendency to advance,
on account of the recent advices from the colonies
reporting a greater demand for export than was
calculated on ; but the local demand in France is
not equal to the supply, in consequence of the in-
creased number of sugar factories.
Further intelligence from Copenhagen relative
to the question of the Sound Dues announce posi-
tively that no convention has been entered into by
Denmark and the United Spates to prolong the
treaty of 1826. The negotiations pending between
the two countries are simply held in abeyance until
the result of the conference between the powers in-
terested is known. Meanwhile there is a tacit un
derstanding that matters will remain iu statu quo
until that time. It is understood, also, that Den-
mark will in no way yield to the United States any
privilege withheld from other nations.
The amount of specie on board the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Company's vessel Euxine,
Which leaves Southampton to-day for India and
China is much larger than usual, viz., 810,3221.,
chiefly in silver, for China.
The inquiry for money is very moderate, not-
withstanding the liquidation of a large qaatitity of
commercial bills failing due to-day. On the Stock
Exchange money is easy, and at comparatively low
rates.

The Funds are rather flat this morning on ac-
count of a few speculative sales for the realisation
of profits. Prices are about lower, but the gene-
ral tone of the market continues firm. Consols
have been dull at 951 1, and the Scrip is 41 prem.
The New Three per Cents, have been 96/ to 97, and
the Reduced 96 to 961. Bank Stock rose per
cent, viz., to 2181. Exchequer Bills are ls. higher,
viz., 19s. to 203. prem.
In the Foreign Market faere is very little doing,
and prices ruled heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents.
have, declined to 1061 and 1051, and the 4 per
Cents. are dull at 106. Mexican stock is flat at
22k, Sardinian Bonds are marked 924, and Dutch
4 per Cents. 961. French 3 per Cents. have been
dealt in at 73f. with the ex:change at 25f. 25c.

ment in the value of some .of the leading railroad
bonds, in which during the week there has boon a
considerable business.
