CITY, Two o'Cnocx
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, and prices were rather higher. The sales 50
were 12,000 bales, 1,000 for export, and 3,000 on
speculation, and in addition to Americans, 270 a
Pernam and Maranham, at bid. to 7d. ; 400 ,7
Bahia, at 61d. to 60. ; 500 Egyptian, at 7d. to -22 1
Bid. ; 1,200 Surat, at 4id. to sid. ; and 50 Sea :2. t. 5
Islands, at to Is. 2id. per lb. The Railway 1"'
Share Market was quiet, and prices were a shade
lower than on Saturday last. St.
50 The Paris commercial report states that the great 50
event of the past week has been the raising of the
.0) 2
,1:
rate of discount by the Bank of France. This
10
measure has been adopted at a period when trade 10
is dull, and the warehouses are about laying in 5°,5
their supplies for the winter season ; and is con- St,
sidered a fresh obstacle to a favourable return of 1?
business. The resolution of the Bank has been 8
determined upon in consequence of the great ope- 25
rations in silk, and the speculations in gold and 25
.
silver. Business amongst the manufacturers has
st.
been very quiet during the week, and chiefly 10
.
caused by the monetary crisis on the Bourse.
i Rtn
The warehouses have commenced to make purchases St.
to meet their wants for the ensuing season. The 14°
same causes which have depressed the home trade ;t.
save checked commerce with foreign countries. 31:
Germany sends very few commissions, and the
pur- it.
chases made on French account are required to be gt-
paid for in silver. Large sums have also been sent
from Marseilles to the Sea of Azoff in payment for
the wheat brought from thence. On the other 5°,,
hand new orders have arrived from America, in 11.31
consequence of the improvement in trade at New 43-
York and Orleans, and the easy state of the money 23
market. The demand for merchandise for export -11
to the Brazils and other states in South America is qgt.t*
regular, and manufactures especially prepared for 20
these countries command a high price in the 10
market.
The inquiry for discount accommodation at the ! il.
Bank of England is described as being excessive. 2,5,
This additional pressure has of course arisen from
i!?
the expectation that the minimum rate of discount 1('
-will be raised on Thursday to sif not 54 per cent. 0
A confident impression seems to prevail that an
stt-
increase of per cent. would be comparatively use- 5
less, and be quite insufficient to check the
demand for discounts. The effect of either mea-
sure, hew 21ever, has already been anticipated, and in 51
the existing state of affairs it is generally admitted 11
that the extreme course would be the most expe-
dient. Already the value of money in Lombard-
street is 5 per cent., even on the best descriptions
of paper, and the tendency is still upwards. All
hope of an early improvement in monetary affairs, St'
both at home, in France, and throughout the Ger-
it
man. States, is therefore abandoned, and although
few predict a crisis, there is, nevertheless, a well- 50
founded impression that the prevailing stringency St,
will, be prolonged for some months. At Paris St
money is very scarce and trade depressed, while lo
the Bourse continues in an exceedingly heavy con- ig
dition. The letters daily received speak in very to
gloomy terms of the future. This, however, is it
always the case when business is dull and prices l°
are declining. o
st.
There has latterly been a singular absence of Sit
gold remittances from Australia, but the Champion
gt,
of the Seas and several other vessels with large 10
quantities of treasure are now overdue, and may be
3t'.
hourly expected. Their arrival at this period, St.
Whf al the money market is so unsettled, would be
Ter y opportune.
to
Her Majesty's ship flighflyer, for the East ,;5
1'
Int lies, will take out, it is said, 80,0001. to the
2-5
Cape of Good Hope. The amount on board the
&urine, for the Peninsula, is 26,5501.
The Funds are now about 1 per cent. lower than
at the official close of business yesterday, with a
very feeble appearance. An unpleasant feeling
'prevails with reference to Italian politics, but
the chief cause of the decline this morning is the
further fall in the Rentes at Paris. Consols for
money were 92k, and afterwards 91i ; while for
account they were 92b f, and 914 92. They are
now 91i for the former, and 91i 92i for the latter,
being firmer. Exchequer Bills have sunk to 7s.
to 10s. premium, and the Bonds were 99i. East
India Bonds are marked Bs. premium.
Foreign Stocks are also lower, but the dealings
are limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are down to
98i and 99, and the 4 per Cents. to 1001 Spa-
nish Threes are 42 ; Portuguese Threes, 42i ; and
Mexican 22k. Russian 4} per Cents. have been 95
to 96.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 71. ;
Mexican, 214 to 22 ; Peruvian, 76 to 78 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 56 to 58 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
42 to 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 to 108 ; ditto 415
per Cents., 95 to 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41/
421 ; ditto Deferred, 23i 24 ; ditto Certificates,
; ditto Passive, 61
The English Railway Shares are all depressed,
being on the average 10s. to 1/. lower than yester-
day. Great Northern, however, form an excep-
tion, having been firm. About an average
amount of business has been done. French
and other foreign shares, in which there
has been very little movement of late, have
all decidedly fallen in consequence of the
depressed state of the continental bourses and
money markets. Northern of France have dropped
/, Paris and Lyons 4, and Great Luxembourg
to 4. The Canadian also rule at reduced quota-
tions.

Joint-stock banks are generally quoted a trifle
lower, but the Bank of Egypt are firm. Canada
Land shares have recovered 21. to 31.

The directors of the Crystal Palace Company announce
that " pending the verification of the share register now
in progress, the issue of the dividend warrants on the
ordinary shares is necessarily suspended."
THE TELEGRAPH IN THE NORTH.—The Electric
Telegraph Company entertain the idea of extending
their wires to the north, altogether independent of the
extension of the railway. A favourable idea is the pro-
longation of the electric telegraph along the sea coast.
The company are prepared to extend their communica-
tion along the coast as far as the Orkney Islands, pro-
vided an annual income of 2,0001. can be guaranteed to
them for a certain number of years. —.Aberdeen Herald.
THE ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.—To the list of
contributors we have already given we have the pleasure
to add the noble name of Salisbury. The marquis has
given the Manchester committee carte blanche in select-
ing from his pictures at Hatfield. The first instance we
have heard of refusal to the application of the committee
is from General Wyndham. This is to be regretted, for
few collections equal Petworth in genuine Holbeins ;
it is also rich in specimens of the English school, and
contains several of the chefs d'oeuvre of Vandyke.
KOSSIITH'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—We have already,
announced the approaching visit of M. Kossuth to Edin-
burgh, for the purpose of delivering a lecture to the
Working classes, in compliance with an invitatioe signed
by Lop working men, which his feeble health prevented
him from accepting when here formerly. We learn that
on this occasion M. Kossuth will also lecture in Dundee,
Montrose, Kelso, Jed burgh, Dumfries, Ayr, Hamilton,
and Lanark, from all of which he has received nume-
rously piped requisitiQua.
