CITY, Two O'CLOCK
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exh_
bited a brisk appearance, with a good business
doing, but prices of all kinds were without any 1-2
considerable change. The sales were estimated at
15,006 bales (4,000 of which were taken for export 131
and 2,000 on speculation), comprising 350 Bahia, 32
at 60. to RA. ; 500 Egyptian, 6±d. to 74d. ; and
400 Surat, at 41d. to 52d. per lb. The Share 2''
Market was quiet, without any change in prices. 25
Advices from Havre report a steady import 9t.
trade in colonial produce. The market for wool St.
was well supplied, and the prices a little lower, at
55J)
20
if. 70c. per kilo. for wools in grease, to 2f, ; and
2f. 20c. for washed wools. Coffee was in demand, 20
and an expected scarcity of the article created a lg
little speculation, which produced a slight advance 50
on previous quotations. The sugar market like- 15.
wise showed an upward tendency in prices, and 10'
some large lots changed hands at an advance. St.
)t
Accounts from the Russian ports in the Baltic 2'6'
state that trade is very animated, and the prices 25
of hemp, linseed, and other descriptions of Rus-
sian,produce suitable for export were well main- 10
tained. At Riga, up to the 24th instant, the hol-
ders of tallow were not inclined to sell at less than ;4'
45 roubles, which shippers were buying only in 20 •
sufficient quantities to meet their immediate wants. 10
Linseed was in demand at 52 to 6r. per pod for st.
Drujaua, and 61 to 6 3.10 for Wasmaer. st.
The monetary and commercial intelligence from st st .
New York, per steamer Baltic, which arrived yes- St.
terday with $458,291 in specie, contain no new St•
features of importance. In the discount market
there was a moderate demand for accommodation,
hut the supply of capital continued abundant.
Speculative securities ruled exceeding dull, and
rather heavy, the excessive heat having induced a
great number of the principal dealers to leave for
the country. The George Law had been announced
with $1,700,000 in gold from California, where the
production of gold was still exceedingly large.

to this day, are in round figures as under :-

The Bank of England Directors have made no
alteration in the minimum rate of discount to-day.
The English Stock Market remains in a heavy
condition and at almost stationary quotations.
Speculative dealings are of rather rare occurrence,
and the investments made by the public are still
circumscribed. Consols for transfer have been 95.12- ;1,
for account (August) 95; 2, and for September
94 96. The Now 3 per Cents. have been rather
largely dealt in at 96} and the Reduced at
95 96. Exchequer Bills have been as low
as 18c, premium, owing to the active demand for
money on the Stock Exchange, and the Bonds
100 India Bonds are 19s. to 225. premium.
For Foreign Stocks there is a dull market, but
some of the quotations have slightly advanced.
Turkish 6 per Cents, are 1031 1, and the 4 per
Cents. are nominal, Spanish Threes are 44k, and
the New Deferred 23i Venezuela Deferred
have been marked 14k, Mexican 231, Grenada New
Active 20, and Chilian 6 per Cents. 104. Russian
42 per Cents. are study at 93i.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:-Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7f 4 ; Mexi-
can, 23i ; Peruvian, 81 3 ; ditto 3 per Cents.,
517 9 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 49 51 ; Russian 5

Spanish 3 per Cents., 44i 45 ; ditto Deferred, 232 1
4 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 62 7.
A slight improvement has taken place in the
Railway Share Market, the account having been
almost arranged. Caledonian, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, Midland, and North-Western, are at
fuller quotations. Sambre and Meuse have risen
11. to 21., but Northern of France are flatter. The
Iteanadian are quiet, at previous prices. Ceylons
Bengals 4 premium, and Calcuttas
Prem.
There have been a few dealings in Joint Stock
/tanking shares, but at reduced values.
Miscellaneous are generally inactive.
