AND
COMMERCIAL ItTTELLIGFNOB.

CITY, Two o'CLooz.

The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
quietly, and prices of all kinds were without any
material change. The sales amounted to 7,000
bales (1,000 of which were taken for export, and
500 on speculation), comprising 350 Pernam and
Maranbam, 60. to 61d. ; 70 Bahia, 6,-Id to bid. ;
200 Egyptian, 60. to 7:(1.; 500 Surat, 41-€ l. to
; and 80 Sea Islands, 111 d. to ls. per lb. The
Railway Share Market ruled quiet, without pre-
senting any particular variation.

The—Colonial Produce Markets this week have
not been active, and several of the principal staples
have been cheaper. Sugar has ruled dull, at a de-
cline of Gd. to is. per cwt., but for coffee the in-
quiry has been good at full values. Tea has at-
tracted very few purchasers; and common Congou
is quiet at 82d. per lb. Rico receded 3d. to Gd. per
Cwt. on Thursday, owing to the favourable change
in the weather. Rum has realised previous prices,
and cocoa is firm. There is a good demand for
common kinds of saltpetre, which are steady.
Cochineal has maintained former currencies, and
tallow has been inactive. There is a speculative
inquiry for oils, especially olive and cocoa nut, and
prices have recently advanced.

Advices from the Wool Market at Breslau, to
the 27th inst., state that the market had exhibited
renewed animation during the week, and upwards
of 1,600 quintals were sold at improved rates.
Some parcels of Einsdewren, from Silesia, realised
from 96 thalers to 100 ditto per quintal ; for
lambs' ditto, 95 to 112 thalers ; for Sterblinge
ditto, from 80 to 100 thalers ; for Einsdewren,
Poland, and from Posen, 77 to 88 thalers ; for
Sterblinge ditto, 70 thalers ; for Silesian wool, in
grease, 70 to 80 thalers ; and for Hungarian,
50 thalers. The advices from Soissons in France
are also favourable. Up to the 26th inst. the sales
had progressed with rapidity, and realised upwards
of 200,000 f. in a few days. The prices obtained
were better than during the previous sales ; and
nine-twentieths of the wool brought to market was
in prime condition, while only a small portion
could be considered bad. For ordinary wools in
grease 2f. 700. to 3f. per kilogramme was realised ;
and for white washed wools from sf. to sf. 70c.
