CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with an improving tendency, and compared with
liiriday'a rates prices of low American were Id.
dearer ; other sorts commanded extreme rates.
The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, and con-
sisted of 500 for export and 2,000 on speculation
(American), 400 Pernambuco and Maranham at
qd. to 7d., 350 Bahia at 6/d. to 61d., 600 Egyp-
tian at 60. to 1.1 d., 800 Surat at 41d. to 4/d., and
Sea Islands at 10-hd. to 2s. 4d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market was brisk, with an apparent
trance.
a Commercial advices from the principal manufac-
turing towns and ports in France during the past
week show that trade continued in a very uncer-
tain state. On all sides preparations were being
made for the expected revival of business this week
'Pon the announcement of the re-establishment of
Peace. A. further impetus to trade was expected to
result from the anticipated reduction of the rate of
discount by the Bank of France. On the other
haul there has been a check given to the extent of
()feign orders by the extraordinary rise in the value
et raw materials for manufactures, at present, in
first hands. This advance in prices, which ranges
from 20 to 25 per cent. on previous quotations,

trade of France, as it occurs frequently at
Periods of commercial activity, but foreigners who
can hold on prefer waiting or reducing their orders
until prices become lower. This increase exists in
"e material for fabrics of all kinds, more especially
silk, Wool, and cotton. At Lyons and the chief
nasaufacturing towns sales are not very active, but
stocks on hand are being reduced, which will open
the trade for summer novelties. At Paris the manu-
facturers in fancy articles have received additional
orders, but these are limited on account of the dull-
ness of the season. This, however, is comparing the

universal Exposition increased the sale in those
articles beyond any year previously.
DTne arrivals of specie by the Africa from the

mail-packet, amounts to about 729,6231.
The official returns relating to the trade and na-
l'igation of the United Kingdom for the month
ring February 29, 1856, have been published.
om these it appears that the total declared value
of exhorts

increase of 2,693,3311., compared with the like
