CITY, Two o'ClocK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, but tamely, and, compared with Friday's 50
range, the prices were extreme. The sales were •31
estimated at 6,000 *bales, 1,000 of which were
taken for export, and on speculation, comprising 27i
50 Pernam and Marauham, at bid. to 7d. ; 22
150 Egyptian, at 6id. to 7/d. ; and 1,000 Surat, 2g.
at 41d. to sid. The Railway Share Market was 4
depressed, and little business was done.
The Moniteur of yesterday publishes an official
st.

table of the average prices of grain throughout the
50
principal markets in France during September, 20
which exhibits an important diminution compared 10
with the general returns of the previous month. 15-(0)
This has been mainly brought about by the large

month. At the same time it is remarkable that
the quotations in that market show very little re- ,

quantities of wheat received from Odessa and the

The average price during the second week of August
t.
was 33f. 49c. per hectolitre in the Marseilles market, 10
and the corresponding week in September it was !t;
again 33f. 27c., showing a small decline of 22c., 10
while the fall in other markets ranged from lfr. to 3t.
2fr. 50c. per hectolitre. All the markets in the It:

bad harvest in this part of France, have been it.
stocked from Marseilles, where the corn merchants ~`,l
are demanding high prices notwithstanding the
'""1 abundance of grain in the market. The average 16f,
price of wheat in the markets generally during i3t*
August was 32f. 63c., and for the month of Sep- 23
tember 30f. 38c., exhibiting a fall of if. 25c. per

hectolitre for the whole of France. , St.

The rates of continental exchange for three 20
months yesterday afternoon were generally lower,
10
the movement in the terms of discount throughout St.
J<forthern Europe having further deranged them. 25
Gold, both at Paris and Hamburg, at the present
et.
moment, is dearer than in London, but remittances 6.26
of gold from New York to this country continue to 10
10
yield a small profit. Accounts from Hamburg
mention that the pressure for money in that city 81: had slightly relaxed. Shipments of specie from so
'London thither are still made, and a large amount 25
of silver was taken from the Bank of Englaid yes- 1`21,n
terday for that purpose.
The meeting of the South Australian Copper
Mining Company was held to-day, but was ad-
journed in consequence of the report of the new
,manager not having arrived in time for the meeting.
Up to the present time no definite information,
relative to the extent of the frauds committed by
Mr. Robson, at the transfer office of the Crystal
Palace Company, has been published, but the inves-
tigation is still proceeding, and the result will
shortly be made known. Meanwhile, the coin.
reittee of the Stock Exchange have resolved " that
where shares in the Crystal Palace Company have
been duly registered and acknowledged by the
er,mpany, the committee decline to interfere."
The demand for discounts at the Bank of Eng-
hand continues excessive.
Most persons are agreeably surprised at the fa-
vourable nature of the quarterly Revenue state-
ment, showing an increase in the income during
that period of 1,114,288/. It is remarked that if
the amount of the loan and the sum absorbed in
the liquidation of Deficiency Bills were deducted
from the two opposite sides of the account, the
Chancellor would then have had a very respectable
surplus.

This return, together with the rather more satis-
factory accounts from Paris, reporting some
diminution in the silver speculation, has
had a marked effect on the Funds, which,
after recovering rather decidedly yesterday after-
zoon, still tend upwards. The belief is
expressed that the Bourse has been at its worst
point, and a recovery is now expected. Consols
for Transfer have been 92k 92is, and 92k 93.
For the Bth inst. the rates have been 92i 924 93,
and 921 1. They are now about 92 for both.
The New Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents. are 77.
Exchequer Bills have recovered to Bs. and 12s.
Pm. ; the Bonds are 991 ; and East India Bonds
10s. to 14s. premium.
foreign investments are dull, but firmer. Turk-
ish 6 per Cents, have rallied to 99i 4, 100, and the
4 per Cents. are looi. Russian elf per Cents. are
quoted 96 ; Spanish Deferred, 24 ; and Brazilian
Small, 100 ex div. Dutch 2i per Cents. are 64,
and the 4 per Cents., without the dividend, 951
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 64 to n;

Railway Securities have benefited by the in-
creased firmness of the Funds. Great Western
have risen 11. to 1/. 10s., Northern 1/., South-
Western 10s. to 155., Midland 1/. to 11. 55., South-
Eastern 10s. to 155., and the rest in proportion.
The French are steady but dull, and the East
Indian and Canadian are without any marked
change.
The Shares of the Bank of London and the City
Bank are firmer ; but the Ottoman, the London
Joint-Stock, and the Oriental rule heavy.

MARK ET NEWS.—(1-his ray.)

The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was
very limited. For all kinds we had a steady demand, at
Prices fully equal to those realised on Monday.
There was a fair average show of foreign wheat. nus.
NSian parcels wore in good request, and late rates were well
Pported. Other kinds realised former terms, but the
business doing in them was not extensive.
Barley and malt changed hands to a fair extent on former
terms.
All kinds of oats, the supply of which was limited,
Were in good request, at very full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady, but not dearer.
