720 N E Y MARKET

ANL

COIVEIXR.CYAI4 FRiT.T.Lit4ENek

CITY, Two ~'t

The Liverpoe:i Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, without any material change in prices.
The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 2,000 of
Which were taken by the exporters.
Letters from Paris, relative to the Greek Loan,
of which the powers interested are demanding re-
imbursement, mention that, of 60,000,000 f. advanc-
ed, Greece touched very little of it. The loan was ab-
sorbed by the expenses of the auxiliary Bavarian
Corps, at the installation of the Bavarian Regency,
end by the indemnity accorded to Turkey for the
cession of the province of Phtiolide. Of the 60
Millions, Greece only received 8 millions for her
benefit. The activity of the Greek people,
since 1833, is shown by the fact that the revenue
of the state, which for years continued at 7 mil-
lion francs, has risen to 16 millions in 1856.
The advices recently received from Russia dwell
at some length upon the proposed network of rail
ways, the concession for which is stated to have
been granted to a French company. The precise
terms have not yet transpired, but according to
rumour they are fortunately not likely to be of a
character that will attract subscribers in any of the
European money markets. We say fortunately,
because the extent of foreign enterprise which has
already been undertaken has greatly contributed
to the extraordinary pressure for money which now
generally prevails. It is expected that the capital
required is about forty millions sterling, on which
it is imagined the Russian Government will offer
44 or 5 per cent. per annum guaranteed interest.
Although there is no immediate chance of the pro-
ject floating at a premium, it is feared that when-
ever the money market becomes easier, and a
favourable opportunity presents itself, parties will
be tempted to support it, Such a contingency
would be very discouraging, and tend to prolong
the inconvenience which is at present experienced.
It was only a few days ago that the great Credit
Mobilier Company, notwithstanding the heavy
liability which it had already incurred, undertook
the construction of the Spanish Railway ; and it. is
Much to be feared, unless some check is soon inter-
Posed, that the financial distress of France will in-
crease to a very serious extent. Louis Napoleon,
almost immediately after the conclusion of peace,
prohibited the formation of new joint-stock corn
Parries during the present year ; and it is evident
that further interference will be necessary in order
to relieve the Paris money market.
The East Indian Money Markets, according to
the advices brought by the Overland Mail, con-
tinue in a satisfactory state, but the recently pro-
Posed 44 per Cent. Government Loan does not
appear to have received much support. Notwith-
standing three weeks had elapsed since the notice s!
of the project was announced not more than about
18P000
rupees had been paid into the Calcutta
Treasury, most of which was tendered by Govern-
officiaLs. Money was cheap, and obtainable
for legitimate purposes on reasonable terms. The 1
rate of exchange at Shanghai on London was 7s.
6d,.. to 7s. 7d. for 6 months' bills.
he business transacted in the English Stock
Market has been small, but the quotations are de-
?idedly firmer. There has been no increase in the
14 Me transactions, and the speculative dealing
‘lB limited, but the general tone of the market
nae improved. Consols for money and the 6th •
