MONEY MARKET

'rwo

Advices from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market on Saturday closed quietly and steadily at,
full prices. The sales amouu,ed to 5,000 bales.
The Railway Share Market exhibited a heavy
appearance, but subsequently improved, closing
with activity.
The commercial accounts from Paris describe
trade as being in a quiet state, in the absence of
increased discount facilities. Until the Bank
agrees to negotiate bills having 9.) days to ruu no
revival of business will take place, and although
some relaxation in the policy adopted by the au-
thorities is expected this week, dissatisfaction is
expressed at the delay which it is thought has
unnecessarily occurred. The improved posltion of
the establishment, as indicated by the last balance-
sheet, induces most parties to suppose that the
Administration ought to have effected some modi-
fication last week. Large foreign orders have been
received in Paris by the manufacturers, but re- I
jected owing to the long credit which would have
to be given. Those to whom these contracts have
been offered are unable to obtain capital to the
extent and on the terms that would render such
transactions profitable. From Riga accounts
dated the Bth inst. state that, owing to the mild
Weather, the Gulf of Finland was almost free from
ice, and several vessels had left for the Baltic.
The Kidderminster bank of Messrs. Tarley,
Turner, and Co. has stopped payment, owing to
the death of the last surviving representative. The
liabilities are small, and an idea prevails that the
business will be resumed. This bank was autho-
rised to issue 14,3091. in notes.
The intelligence from New York represents the
market for speculative stocks as being buoyant,
with an active speculation for an advance. During
the week eading the 28th November the imports
of merchandise exceeded the exports by about
$1,216,076, the imports of specie being equal to
4589,000.

There was an active demand for money to-day,
owing to the settlements at the Stock txchange.
The requirements of the commercial community
are described as being less extensive, but they are,
nevertheless, sufficiently heavy to occasion a good
Inquiry for accommodation.

The Corn Market this morning has been very
dull.

About 15,0001. to 20,0001. in gold was taken
from the Bank on Saturday for exportation to the
Continent.

There is a very quiet market for Public Securities,
°Whig to the settlement of the account in Foreign
Nooks and Railway shares, which absorbs the
chief attention of the dealers. Speculation in the
funds is temporarily suspended, but their value is
maintained with steadiness. Consols have been dull

In the Foreign market very little business has
been done except in connection with the settle-
kent. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 941 'lc for money,
And the 4 per Cents. 1021 I. Spanish are firm, the
Threes being 42k. The Deferred, 23i ; and the

ents., 95 7; Spanish 3 per Cents., 4112 k ; ditto
Deferred, 231 4k ; ditto Certificates, 51 6k ; ditto
Passive, 51 6.

In the Railway Share Market most of the dealers
have been fully engaged in making the usual ar-
rangements for the settling, which takes place to-
korrow, the 16th inst. The " contango" on
'Change for " carrying over" is heavy, and prices
generally rule rather flatter for most of the princi-
pal lines, Caledonian, Great Western, Great
krthern, North-Western, Midland, and North-
astern Berwick, which are about ss.
lower. Brighton and South-Eastern, how-
er) showed slight improvement, being ss.
10s. higher. The French lines are also at
'ghtly improved rates, as also Lombardo-Venetian
a" Namur and Liege. The East Indian and
Canadian lines are dull, but steady.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
1111, but have not shown any material alteration
in quotations, with the exception of Canada Land,
Idaich are quoted at 115.
