The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhi-
bited a brisk appearance, with a good business
doing, but prices of all kinds were without any
considerable change. The sales were estimated at
15,000 bales (4,000 of which were taken for export
and 2,000 on speculation), comprising 350 Bahia,
at 60. to Q-d. ; 500 Egyptian, 61-d. to 7d. ; and
400 Surat, at 4fd. to sd. per lb. The Share
Market was quiet, without any change in prices.
Aduices from Havre report a steady import
trade in colonial produce. The market for wool
was well supplied, and the prices a little lower, at
H. 70c. per kilo. for wools in grease, to 2f, ; and
2f. 20c, for washed wools. Coffee was in demand,
and an expected scarcity of the article created a
little speculation, which produced a slight advance
on previous quotations. The sugar market like-
wise showed an upward tendency in prices, and
some large lots changed hands at an advance.
Accounts from the Russian ports in the Baltic
state that trade is vary animated, and the prices
of hemp, linseed, and other descriptions of Rus-
sian produce suitable for export were well main-
tained. At Riga, up to the 21th instant, the hol-
ders of tallow were not inclined to sell at less than
45 roubles, which shippers were buying only in
sufficient quantities to moot their immediate wants.
Linseed was in demand at 5.1 to 6 r. par pod for
Drujaua, and 61 to 6 3-10 for Wasmaer.
The monetary and commercial intelligence from
New York, per steamer Baltic, which arrived yes-
terday with $458,291 in specie, contain no new
features of importance. In the discount market
there was a moderate demand for accommodation,
hut the supply of capital continued abundant.
Speculative securities ruled exceeding dull, and
rather heavy, the excessive heat having induced a
great number of the principal dealers to leave for
the country. The George Law had been announced
with $1,700,000 in gold from California, where the
production of gold was still exceedingly large..

to this day, are in round figures as under :

The Bank of England Directors have made no
alteration in the minimon rate of discount to-day.
The English Stock Market remains in a heavy
Condition and at almost stationary quotations.
Speculative dealings are of rather rare occurrence,
and the investments made by the public are still
circumscribed. Consols for transfer have been 95-1- a,
for account (August) 95a and for September
9496. The New 3 Per Cents. have been rather
largely dealt in at 96k and the Reduced at
954 96. Exchequer Bills have been as low
as 18s. premium, owing to the active demand for
money on the Stock Exchange, and the Bonds
1001 a. India Bonds are 193. to 225. premium.
For Foreign Stocks there is a dull market, but
some of the quotations have slightly advanced.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031 a, and the 4 per
Cents. are nominal, Spanish Threes are 44g, and
the New Deferred 231 8. Venezuela Deferred
have been marked 141--, Mexican 231, Grenada New
Active 20, and Chilian 6 per Cents. 104. Russian
41 per Cents. are steady at 98i .
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7± ; Mexi-
can, 23k i Peruvian, 81 3 ; ditto 3 per Cents.,
57 9 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 49 51 ; Russian 5
per Cents., 111 13 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 98 100 ;
Spanish 3 per Cents., 44 45 ; ditto Deferred, 231-
4 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 6/ 7.
A slight improvement has taken place in the
Railway Share Market, the account having been
almost arranged. Caledonian, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, Midland, and North-Western, are at
fuller quotations. Sambre and Meuse have risen
1./. to 21., but Northern of France are flatter. The
Canadian are quiet, at previous prices. Ceylons
are Bengals premium, and Calcuttas
prem.

- There have been a few dealings in Joint Stock
Banking shares, but at reduced values.
Miscellaneous are generally inactive.
