The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
continued verystody, although well supplied, and
prices of all dr2scriptions were unchanged from
those current nu Friday. The sales were estimated
at B,OOJ hales, comprising 6,200 Americans (of
which exporters took 500, and speculators took
4,000), 390 Pernam and Maranhani, 67A. to 711 ;
400 Egyptian, 61d. to 91 ; 800 Surats, 44d. to
; (400 for export.), and 100 Sea Islands, 1111
to is. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
quiet, without any variation of importance.

Commercial advices from MoEcow of the 15th
August contain a report of the wool fair at Ekate-
rinoslaw. The quantity brought for sale amounted
to 50,000 poods (1,800,000 lbs. English), of which
40,000 poods were washed wools, and the remain-
der in grease. The washed wools, with very few
exceptions, consisted cf a more inferior quality
than has been seen for many years past, and the
rest were in a worse condition than those brought
to Charkow and Pultowa. The rates established
at this fair were as follows :—Washed wools, 13i to
171 roubles per pood ; ditto in grease, 8i to 9i
ditto. Some speculators brought about 15,000
poods to take to the market at Pultowa.
_

From Frankfort we learn that the autumn fair
had been well attended by merchants. Cotton
manufactures forwarded from various German
States were, iu good demand, and large quantities
had been purchased for exportation. Silk goods,
however, of the finer qualities attracted most atten-
tion, the supply being inadequate. The result of
the fair surpassed the most sanguine expectations
of the local traders, a larger business having been
done, and higher prices realised, than in previous
years.

The weekly report from Paris states that there
is not much change in the position of commercial
affairs during the past week. Sales have been very
quiet, both at Paris and in the departments. The
manufacturers are preparing for the winter season.
A return to activity is expected about the close of
this month or the commencement of October.
There are at present a great number of buyers in
Paris from the departments as well as foreign
traders. The orders for Russia, for articles of
luxury, have now ceased. Some important pur-
chases have been made in the manufacturing
towns, of sillog, woollen, and cotton fabrics for the
ensuing season.

The intelligence from New York per steamer
Canada reports continued activity in the Stock
Market there, but the quotations tended down-
wards. Money was in rather less demand, but
the banks were contracting their loans and dis-
counts as much as possible. The balance of trade
was still much in favour of Europe, and in the
week ending the 22d ult. the imports exceeded
the exports !co the extent of $ 3,841,312.
The English stock market continues to
be unfavour ably influenced by the transactions
in connection with the approaching settle-
ment, and, notwithstanding the satisfactory ac-
counts relative to the progress of the harvest, and
a farther fall, in the price of corn the Funds
have receded this morning to per cent.
The active demand for money both here and on
the continen t intimidates some of the speculators,
who, not feeling confident of an early advance in
quotations, have preferred closing their outstand-
ing engagements to carrying over at the pre-
vailing latri of continuation. For money
the prices have been 94i 5, and 941 ;
for the 10th inst. they are 941 and for October
95 to 95k. The New Threes have been
Exchequer Bills 13s. to 16s. prem., and the Bonds
14s. prem.

Foreign Stocks are dull, and without much
ebange in prices. The market, however, is flat.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1.03ji, and the 4 per Cents.
1031. Spanish rule heavy, the Threes being 45,
and the Deferred 25. Russian 4i per Cents. are
9.8, Sardinian 92, and Equador New Consoli-
dated 141.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7± ; Mexican,
221 ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9 ;
Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45i Gi ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 108 10 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa-
nish 3 per Cents., 44i- 5/ ; ditto New Deferred,
25 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, q
Railway Shares are all depressed, the de-
cline in the principal lines being ss. to 10s.
and the transactions have been limited. North-
Eastern (Berwick), and a few others, however, are
exceptions, being higher. There is a slight increase
of business in the Foreign market, but there is no
general alteration of importance. Rigas are 1g
premium.

_
Railway Shares are weaker, but Mining and
miscellaneous are dull at previous rates.
