AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIC/MCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily and with firmness. Prices of American
Were 1-16 d. 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
(f,OOO for export and 1000 on speculation), 150
Pernam and Maranham, bid. to 60. ; 50 Bahia,
Gid. to bid. ; 1,500 Heyptian, 51(1. to 71d. ; and
1,000 Surat, 4id. to 411. 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 64.
Per cwt. for some descriptions, while Mauritius has
sold at 6d- to ls. advance. For Coffee there has
been very little inquiry. The public sales of Tea
nave gone off heavily, at about previous prices.
!Lice ruled dull, at 6d. per cwt. decline. Saltpetre
has been in request, and at fuller quotations.
Cochineal has been rather higher, but Tallow has
attracted very little attention. The i,ublic sales of
Wool conclude this evening, and enhanced rates
have been maintained throughout the series.
" Of Port Philip 11,ece wool the supply has been no-
thing equal to the requirements of the trade, though
'toured wool was more pletdsifol, of which so,ne well.
bashed marks realised very high prices. Sydney wool.
on the average, was of a better description ; some well
known fine flocks, being much ,N awed, were well com-
peted f a• d sold at full rate.. Van Diernen's Land
wool, both fleece and -kin, was in very small qua,tity,
Berl partook fully of the advance. New Z-aland wool
t° finale extent was taken in ,the Place of Port Philip ;
that with any length of staple commanded much atten-
tion and sold most satisfactorily. Of Swan River wool
only a few bales were on the market and sold well.
'onuth Australian flocks, both washed and greasy, rea-
lised their full value, The unusually large proportion
of Cape Wool contained in these sales led to the expec-
tation of a comparatively smaller advance as compared
With scarcer sorts, but the very noticeable improvement
in this article has induced buyers in many instances to
Purchase it as a substitute for other sorts, so that with
an increased 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
and greys were much inquired for."
Accounts from the Foreign Bourses continue to
allow that great uncertainty exists in the financial
World on the Continent. At Vienna the Bourse
Was much animated on the sth instant, with an
adVance of on the 41 per Cents. to 734, and the
8 per Cent. Metallics firm at 841. In the
Share Market Stocks fluctuated much, and
°ll 'that- day shares of the New General
ank of Credit fell 17fl. to 359, and Austrian Rail-
Ways 31 to 262. Money was again becoming
kat-0N and the exchanges rising. On London it
has 10.7, and on Paris 120.1. At Berlin the 3i per
cents. were firm, at 87. On the Paris Bourse,
Yesterday, the 3 per Cent. Rentes improved per
cent., and the 4i Stock declined the same.
A. further decline took place yesterday in the
Price of wheat at Paris, equal to If. 50c. per hec
tohtre. Cjaoice qualities weighing 120 kilogrammes
are not in demand at 52f. Rye is also dull of sale,
and quotations are nominal at 331. for Ist quality
and 32f. for 2d quality per 115 kilos. Oats main-
tain their prices at from 24f. to 28t. per 3 hectolitres.
to the flour market sales were brisk at the opening,
and prices good, being 891. for the current month,
44d 90f. for Aptil ; but subsequently they declined,
,
consequence of the fall in wheat. The factors
declared to 2,618 sacks, of which 379 were sold at
from 85f. to 93f•/ the average 891. 62c. per 157

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 acQount also interfere
with the ordinary business and produce a flatter
tone. Dealings have taken place in Consols for
the 10th proximo, at 911; to 92. The prices
for money and the 11th inst. have been 911
to 91i all the morning. The New Scrip is about
Premium. The New 3 per Cents. have been
active at 921 to 921, and the Reduced at 91k to
9111. Exchequer Bills are ls. discount to ls. pre-
Inituri, and the Bonds 98/.
No alteration of importance has occurred in the
Foreign Market. Russian 5 per Cents., however,
are #to per cent,. higher, viz , 1024 3 ; and the
4 per Cents. are 921. Sardinian Dods are 901,
