MONEY' lIIARKET

AND
COMZERCIAL INT4ILLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLom.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly. 'The dales were estimated at 8,000 hales-
-500 of which were • taken for export, and 2,000 on
speculation—comprising 400 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at 6Ad. to 70. ; 1,500 Egyptian ; 400 Surat,
at Up. to 120. per lb. (500 export). The Railway
Share Market was quiet, with an apparent decline
in prices.

Yesterday afternoon it transpired that the Hert-
ford and Ware Bank (the principals being Messrs.
Samuel Adams and Co.) had suspended payment.
This establishment had the power of issuing notes
to the extent of 23,6351., but for some time past
its circulatien has been diminishing.
An instalment of 20 per cent., amounting to
1,000,0001. is due to-dayon the loan of 5,000,0001.
This has produced very little increase in the general
demand for money, the event, as usual, having
been previously provided for by most parties.
There now remain only two instalments to be paid,
and the entire amount will havo been subscribed
on the 18th of September.
The fineness of the weather, and the easy condi-
tion of the money market, have produced increased
firmness in the English Stock Market ; but there
is still an anxious feeling with regard to financial
affairs abroad, and the specie requirements of the
Bank of France. This accounts for the dulness of
the Paris Bourse, and the caution exhibited by our
dealers at the Stock Exchange. Consols have been
951 and 951 for money. The account values
have risen to 95i, 96 ; but the bargains were
limited. The New 3 per Cants. have been 961
and the Reduced 95i 968. Bank Stock has de-
clined to 216. Exchequer Bills are buoyant at 244.
premium, and the Bonds are 1008. India Bonds
22s to 265.

There is an upward tendency also in the prices of
Foreign Stocks. Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen-
to MO I, the Small Bonds to 1041, and the 4 per
Cent. Guaranteed to 106 k. Spanish Securities are
all firmer, the Threes being 441, and the Deferred
24 to 24. Sardinian have been marked 92i,
Russian 5 per Cants. 114, and Belgian 4i per
Cents. 97. Brazilian 5 per Cents. are 104.
Dutch 241 per Cents. 65k, and Ditto 4 per Cents.
97 +.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 4 ; Mexi-
can, 23 ; Peruvian, 81 3 ; ditto 3 per Cents, 57 9 ;
Portuguese 4 Per Cents,, 48 50 ; RusSian 5

Spanish 3 per Cents., 441 45 ; ditto Deferred, 23Tf
24k ; ditto Certificates, Gi # ; ditto Passive, 6k 7.
Railway Shares have mostly advanced, but ex-
cept in a few of the leading lines the business done
has been unimportant. Great Northern have risen
about 1/. Great Northern V. to V. ss. Man-
chester, Sheffield andLincolnshire, IL, and South-
Eastern, ss. Sittingbonrne and Sheerness were
to 1 prem. The Canadian Shares have attracted
attention at previous quotations, but the Foreign
have remained dull. The Riga Shares, however,
are firm. The Bengal Siiares which are in course
of allotment are prem. Ceylons are 11 I-, and
ealcuttas 1 .1 prem.
