RONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCL

CITY, Two o'Owtip;

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very firmly, and prices of Americans were id. per
lb. dearer. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales,
2,000 of which were taken by exporters, and 6,000
by the speculators. The Railway Share Market
closed steadily at a slight advance on the current
rates of Monday.

The accounts from the colonial produce markets
at Antwerp, Hamburg, and Amsterdam report
:steadiness in prices, but a limited amount of busi-
-less doing. The advices from Rio to the 14th
September, although somewhat more favourable,
had produced little effect on the coffee market, for
although prices were lower there, yet the advance
in charges and freight raised the cost at the port
of entry to much about the same as previous quota-
tions. In the sugar market the favourable advices
from London have assisted in arresting the down-
ward tendency in prices, and the merchants were
holding on for full quotations.

Advices from Constantinople to the 13th inst.
state that a further delay had occurred in the re-
ception of the projects submitted to the commission
for the foundation of a National Bank and tenders
for a loan. It was understood, also, that when
they did assemble to discuss the various proposals,
there was some uncertainty of their accepting any
of them. This supposition had caused the share-
holders of the National Bank, proposed by the
Galata merchants, to make advances for the pur-
pose of a fusion with the Ottoman Bank of London,
which it is said were declined. The latter com-
pany, it is reported, had made similar proposals to
the house of Rothschild previously, which were
not accepted.

At a meeting of the shareholders, held in Paris,
o the Alliance Bank, it was stated that the result
of the first five months' operations was a profit of
7,4451. ss. 10d., after the deduction of current ex-
penses.

The report of the directors of the Great Indian
Peninsula Railway Company has been issued.
This is to be presented to the forthcoming meeting,
and it details the operations which have been car-
ried out since the shareholders last assembled. The
length of line now open is 88 miles, viz., 32 from
Bombay to Callian, 17 miles from Callian to Was-
eund, and 39 from Callian to Campoola, the traffic
receipts on which are deemed encouraging.
The rates of exchange for three months' bills on
the principal cities of the Continent yesterday
afternoon were in several instances rather flatter,
but no material alteration took place.
The market for English Securities is rather buoy-
ant,,,, and the transactions have been numerous.
continued purchases are made by the public,
Which strengthen the quotations, but the specula-
%dealing is still of an undecided character. There
18 a good demand for money in the " House,"
and rather fuller rates are current for the tempo-
rary accommodation. Consols for transfer have
been_ 91i I, and 921, while for account they have
been 92 to and 921 I. The present values are
92 to 92k, and 921 I respectively. The New Three
Per Cents. are 911 the Reduced 901 911,
and the Long Annuities (1860) 24 15-16 the. Ex-
:equer Bills remain at 3s. to 6s. premium. The
"cis are 981 ; and India Bonds are Bs. pre-
Miura. Bank Stock is 2124.
In the Foreign Market business is dull, but
Turkish 6 per Cents. are firmer, having been 884
89i and 89,1. 1. The 4 per Cents. are 99. Rus-
sian 41 per Cents. 961, and Belgian 44 per Cents.
99. Grenada New Active have been dealt in

There is a slight increase of business in the
Railway Share Market to-day, but it is principally
,_(3f a speculative character, most of the leading lines,
40wever, are at improved rates, viz., about to 1
ter cent. Caledonian ; Edinburgh, Perth, and
"doe ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-West-
ern, and South Western improved fully 10s. ;

aolue extent at 23 to 23g, being an improvement of
about ss. Eastern of France are 37t, and Born-
bay and Baroda 19k.
'Very little business has been done in Joiht-
Stock Bank Shares, and prices have shown but
little alteration. British North American realised
67. Commercial of London, 28/ 29. London and
Westminster 461, and Union of Australia 641 65.
