COMDIAITIOIAL INTELLIGENCz,

CITY, Two o'CLoox. f hr.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed I
quietly, but firmly, with about 6,000 bales, in-
cluding 1,000 on speculation and for export.
Advices from the foreign wool markets continue
to report a steady trade, and a greater demand for
the raw material by the principal manufacturers
in France and Germany. This improvement has
resulted from the probable increased demand for
woollen fabrics of the finest material, in conse-
quence of the scarcity of silks throughout the
Continent. The high prices of raw silk also has
determined several establishments to limit their
production of the manufacture) article, it being
generally expected also that the public will rather
patronise fabrics of a different material at a more
moderate cost.
The Bank of England Return, completed for the
week ending the 9th inst., does not exhibit many
important changes, but the general position of the
eitablishment may be said to have improved, since
there is an increase in the bullion, as well as in the
reserve of notes. The diminution in the private
deposits is more than balanced by the augmenta-
tion in the public deposits. The next statement
• it is presumed will be even more encouraging, as
the specie arrivas are believed to be ample for the
export demand, without recourse being had to the
reserves at the Bank of England. The effect
of the recent purchases of gold for the Bank
of France is in some measure seen by an
increase, equal to 700,0001. shown in the last
monthly return of that institution. It is some-
what singular, however, that during the last four
weeks the shipments from England have been about
3,000,0001., and it is, therefore, difficult to under-
stand the purposes to which they have been applied
beyond the payments for silk and grain recently,
purchased, and the absorption of capital by sub-
scriptions to new banking and other attractive
projects lately started upon the Continent. The
official statement gives the following alterations :

The advices brought by the Persia from New
York, report a continuance of ease in the money
market, but the rapid extension of discount opera-
tions by the local banks, was regarded with fear
by some of the more prudent financiers. The
supply of capital was largely in excess of the
demand, but the latter would no doubt increase,
as usual, during October, November, and Decem-
ber, when it is not improbable that the Money
Market may again become stringent. The Stock
Market was dull and heavy.
The report of the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany has been issued preparatory to the meeting,
from which it appears that the sum disposable for
dividend purposes is 84,3031. 7s. 10d. It is pre-
posed by the directors to make a dividend of 3. per
cent, per annum, or 1/. 15s. per cent. for the half-
year on the original stock, and of 3/. 10s. per cent.
for the half-year on the B stock, towards the 6 per
cent. per annum, to which the latter stock is en-
titled. The remaining balance of 1551. 14s. Bd. is
to be carried to the next half-yearly account.
There bas been rather a buoyant market to-day
for English Securities, but business has been almost
suspended, the attendance of dealers being ex-
tremely limited. The Bank Return has not had any
material effect upon prices, but the general tone of
the market is firmer. Consols are marked 95?-,
for Money and 951 a for Account, although at the
present moment they are a trifle flatter. The New
3 per Cents. were 96 to 96k, and the Reduced 951
Exchequer Bills are 9s. to 12s. prem., and the
Bonds 1001.

There have been several transactions in the
Foreign Stock Market, and generally at firmer
Prices. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031 Spanish
Threes 44i, and ditto Deferred 241. Sardinian
have been dealt in at 921 I, Russian 5 per Cents.
at 1121, and Mexican 22k. Peruvian 41 per Cent.
have been 82k, Buenos Ayres 85, and Dutch 4
Per Cents. 971.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks;—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican,
221 ; Peruvian, 81 3 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 9 ;
Portuguese 4 per Cents., 4G 7 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 111 13 • ditto 4, per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa-
nish 3 per Cents., 441 51; ditto eferred, 24i 4 ;
ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 6i 'T.
The Railway Share Market has been firm for
Most of the leading descriptions, but Great-Western
must be quoted as an exception, having slightly
given way. The French shares have beeu ne-
glected ; but Great Western of Canada have im-
proved 55., and Rigas also ss.
In Banking Shares a large business has been
done, but prices have not generally been well
Maintained. Mining and Miscellaneous have ruled
steady.

--The Inverness A dvertiser gives the following extract
from the visiting book of the inn at Drumna•!ruchit as
"the veritable production of no less exalted and demure
per-ionatYe than Mr. John Bright, M.P.:"--
" In Highland glens 'tis far too oft observed
" That man is chased away and game preserved.
" Glen Urquhart is to me a lovelier glan ;
"Hero deer and grouse have not supplanted men,"
