MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL DTTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'Cr,om,
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
tamely, with a firm feeling, at the current rates of
last week. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales
—5OO were taken for export—comprising 680 Per-
nam and Maranham, at 6d. to 60. ; 200 Egyp-
tian, 6jd. to 81d. ; and 500 Surat, at 4&d. to 4id.
per lb. The Railway Share Market exhibited a
dull aspect, with little or no change in prices.
The usual weekly commercial report from Paris
states that business generally has been quiet in
that city, on account of the number of Parisians
who have left town for the country. Amongst the
manufacturers the demand for exportation is
almost nil. The late events in Spain has closed all
trade in that quarter. England and Russia con-
tinue to make small purchases. The last packet
boats from New York and South America brought
no new orders. The commercial operations be-
tween France and the United States during the
first quarter of 1856, as regards imports, amounted
to 416 millions of fran cs, against 236 millions in 1855,
and exports 240 millions against 176 do. respectively.
In the principal sugar markets there has been a
rise in prices. At Havre good Antilles advanced
from 66f. per 50 kilos. to 68f. The stocks on hand
are said to be very small, and a good many pur-
chases have been made in advance of arrivals.
This rise at Havre has influenced the market at

Nantes, where there are many extensive sugar re-
fineries. One establishment purchased 7,475 bags
of Antilles at 67f., or an advance of 50c. on pre-
vious quotations. At Marseilles an upward move-
ment has taken place in foreign sugars, in conse-
quense of the deficient importations from
Havanna and Brazil, and the increased consump-
tion throughout France.
The steamer Asia has arrived from New York ;
but the letters and papers have not yet arrived in
town. She brings $1,600,000.
This day the second annual meeting of the
London and Eastern Banking Corporation was
held, the Hon. John Cadwalader Erskine in the
chair. The general manager, Mr. Stephens, read
the report, from which it appeared that this bank
had been very successful within the two years of
its establishment. The profits of the past year were
25,3781., exceeding 10 per cent. upon the paid-up
capital of the bank. The shareholders having been
paid two dividends of 6 per cent. for that year, the
directors felt it more advisable to stop any further
distribution out of that year's profits, and had
therefore put away the balance of 10,378/. towards
a reserve fund. The past half-year's profits had
been so far satisfactory that the directors felt
bound to continue, in anticipation of the accounts,
the usual dividend of 6 per cent. to the 30th June
last. It appeared from the report that the objec-
tion to this bank offering a higher rate of interest
than others was removed by the corporation having
Indian branches, in which money could be em-
ployed at remunerative rates. The success attend-
ing the Hyde Park Branch had induced the di-

rectors to establish another in Pall Mall. The
report. was adopted, and a vote of thanks was
passed to the chairman and directors, and to the
officers of the corporation.
In the discount market the inquiry for accom-
modation continues very quiet, and the rates are
about 31 for the negotiation of first class paper.
As the foreign exchanges are rather firmer it is
hoped that the remittances of gold to the Conti-
nent will diminish when the Directors of the Bank
of England would probably be in a position to re-
duce the minimum rate of discount.
The English Funds are exceedingly dull, at
about previous quotations. Speculation appears
to be almost suspended, and the public are not in-
vesting so freely as usual just after the payment of
the dividends. Consols have been 951 1 and
96i I for money, and 95i for account. The

In the Railway Share Market there is no gene-
ral movement of importance in prices, but they re-
ruin exceedingly firm. In many instances the
Principal shares are ss. to 103. higher than on Sa-
turday. Paris and Lyons and some of the other
foreign lines are rather heavier. Riga and Duna-
burg Shares rule firm.
For Banking Shares there is an inactive market.
General Omnibus Company's Shares are 4-a 4i
ex dividend.
Royal Mail Steam are flatter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

GUILDHALL.
" ROW TO MAKE A 1,0001. OUT OF A PEKNY,"
PRACTICALLY ILLUSTRATED.—James Phillips was
Placed at the bar on remand before Sir J. Musgrove,
charged, with stealing a quantity of printed paper. the
troperty of Messrs. Taylor and Greening, printers, 4 and
Greystoke-place, Fetter-lane.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was
in the prosecutors' employ when he stole the paper in
question amounting to upwards of a cwt., and sold it
to a marine dealer in Church-passage, Chancery-lane.
The paper comprised plain and printed paper, and
amongst the latter several quires of the sheets of a work
entitled, " How to make 1,0001. out of a Penny." The
Prisoner induced one of the boys in the prosecutor's
service to take the paper to the marine store dealer,
and on his going subsequently to be paid for it repre-
isiented himself as a master printer. Prisoner had been
!la the prosecutors' service about four months as ware-
ailey he
113touseman. When he was apprehended by detective
denied all knowledge of the transaction. Mr.
bonering identified the paper, and deposed that the pri-
had no authority to take the paper from the pre-
and dispose and dispose of it.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
