MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL ETTELLIGENCE.

ern, TWO O'CLOMS.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily and with firmness. Prices of American
were 1-16:1. per lb. dearer than on last Friday, and
other kinds were unchanged in value. The sales
were 10,000 bales, 6,000 of which were American
(1,000 for export and 1000 on speculation), 150
Pernain and Maranham, 61d. to 60. ; 50 Bahia,
60. to 6id. ' • 1,500 Egyptian, sid. to 7 d. ; and
1,000 Surat, 4gtl. to 40. per cwt. The Railway
Share Market was quiet, without any material
alteration.

The Colonial Produce Markets this week have
been firm, but quiet. Sugar has risen about 6d.
per cwt. for some descriptions, while Mauritius has
sold at 63. to is. advance. For C..ffee there has
been very little inquiry. The public sales of Tea
have gone off heavily, at about previous prices.
Rice ruled dull, at 61. per cwt. decline. Saltpetre
has been iu request, and at fuller quotations.
Cochineal has been rather higher, but Tallow has
attracted very little attention. The uhlic sales of
Wool conclude this evening, and enhanced rates
have been maintained throughout the series.
" Of Port Philip fi!ece wool the supply has been no-
thing equal to the requirements of the trade, though
scoured wool was more plentiful, of which some well-
washed marks realised very high prices. Sydney wool,
on the average, was of a better description ; some well
known fine flocks, being much wanted, wer-, well com-
peted for aqd sold at full rate•. Van Diernen's Land
wool, both fleece and skin, was in very swan quantity.
and.partook fully of the advance. New Z-aland wool
to some extent was taken in the place of Port Philip ;
that with any length of staple commanded touch atten-
tion and sold most satisfactorily. Of Swan River wool
only a few bales were on the market and sold well.
South Australian flocks, both washed and greasy, rea-
lised their full value. The unusually large pr .portion
of Capet Wool contained in these sales tel to the expec-
tation of a comparatively smaller a lvance as coinp.r,it
with scarcer sorts, but the very u .ticea.hie improvemen,
in this article has induced buyers in ma ay iustan,es t
purchase it as a substitute for other sorts, so that wan
an increwed competition it has been cle red ff readily
at the average advance. East India Wool was in re-
quest and sold about Id. per lb. advance ; good whites
sod greys were much inquired for."
Accounts from the Foreign Bourses continue to
show that great uncertainty exists in the financial
world on the Continent. At Vienna the Bourse
was much animated on the sth instant, will an
advance of on the 41 per Cents. to 73i, and the
5 per Cent. Metallics firm at 841. In the
Share Market Stocks fluctuated much, and
on that day shares of the New General
Bank of Credit fell 17fl. to 359, and Austrian Rail-
ways 3fl. to 262. Money was again becoming
acatce, and the exchanges rising. On L..indon it
was 10-7, and on Paris 120 k. At Bolin the 3i per
Cents. were firm, at 87. On the Paris Bourse,
yesterday, the 3 per Cent. Rentes improved per
cent., and the 41 Stock declined the same.
A further decline took place yesterday in the
price of wheat at Paris, equal to lf. 50c. per hec
tolitre. Choice qualities weighing 120 kilogrammes
are not in demand at 52f. Rye is also dull of sale,
and quotations are nominal at 33f. for Ist quality
and 32f. for 23 quality per 115 kilos. Oats main
tain their prices at from 241. to 28f. per 3 hectolitres.
In the flour market sales were brisk at the opening,
and prices good, being 89f. for the current month,
and 90f. for April; but subsequently they declined,
in consequence of the fall in wheat. The factors
declared to 2,618 sacks, of which 379 were sold at.
from 85f. to 931., the average 89f. 62c. per 157
kilos.

The English Stock Market has continued in a
heavy condition, being influenced chiefly by the
pressure for money to effect the settlement in the
New Scrip. The arrangements making for the ad-
justment of the Consols ac,,ount also interfere
with the ordinary business and produce a flatter
tone. Dealings have taken place in Consols for
the 10th proximo, at 917 c to 92. The prices
for money and the 11th inst. have been 911
to 91i all the morning. The New Scrip is about
14 premium. The New 3 per Cents. have been
active at 92k to 92/.., and the Reduced at 91k to
91k. Exchequer Bills are Is. discount to ls. pre-
mium, and the Bonds 98k.
No alteration of importance has occurred in the
Foreign Market. Russian 5 per Cents., however,
are 4 to I per cent. higher, viz., 1021 8 ; and the
4 per Cents. are 92g. Sardinian Bonds are 901,
