MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL DITELLIGENC

CITY, Two o'CLooK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
Without any change in prices. The sales amounted
to 7,000 bales, including 2,000 for export and on
speculation. In the Railway Share Market there
Was but little alteration in prices.

The public sales of wool at Antwerp commenced
°ll the 19th inst., when there was a large attend-
ance of buyers, many of whom were foreigners.
The sales consisted of 2,800 bales Buenos Ayres ;
89 ditto New South Waley ; 30 ditto Cordova, 35
Italian, and 140 ditto lamb's wool. For Merinos
the prices realised were from 2f. 10c. to 3f. 50c. in
grease, and from 3f. 30c. to If. 35c. for washed.
Inferior sorts brought from If. 950. to 2f. 85c. in
G'r'ease, and from 2f. 95c. to 4f. 10c. per kilo.
°Ydney washed wools realised sf. 85c. and 4f. 18c.
grease.
Accounts from the French wine distrists report a
tendency to rise in all qualities. At Pezenas pur-
chasers were anxious to buy, and freely gave 150 f.
to 200 f. for good light wines, 280 f. to 300 f. for
black qualities ; from 170 f. to 200 f. for superior
pique-pool
qualities, and 150 f. for lower kinds, per
hectolitre. Fine white wines from Adassam of
tare qualities are in demand at 1,200 f., and a small
litres.
of 1840 vintage realised 1,400 f. per 700
'tree. At Bourdeaux the prices of spirits axe well
maintained, Languedoc 155 f.
The position of the Bank of England, according
t,° the return for the week ending 14th June, has
zurther improved, and the charges exhibited com-
Pared with the previous statement, has strength-
ened the expectation of an early decline in the
t4inimuni, rate of discount. The demand for money
bas diminished, and the reserve of notes has conse-
quently increased. The preparations for, and
anuent of the last instalment on the New Loan,
base chiefly occazdonecl the alterations in the pri-
vate and public deposits. The stock of bullion is
,anger than et any period during the present year,
,td ale immense arrivals, which this week have ap-
proached a million and a halt sterling, will neces-
-441- arugment the metallic deposits in Thread-
e-Street.

The rates of exchange in some of the continental
tities have slightly declined, and it is reported that
1;,°1110 small remittances of gold have been made to
ranee, but it is not considered probable that any
L
I;ge quantity will be drawn from this country.
It is alleged that 200,0001. have been received from
`°llstantinople, and that altogether about a million
,P4erling is expected from that port.
The Marco Polo is in from Victoria, with 60,787
%noes and 44,140 sovereigns, being of the total
value of about 287,308/. ; so that the total receipts
this week have been much larger than for a long
time past. The shipments, during the same period,
%ye not exceeded 200,000/.

The Funds are very quiet but steady, the varia-
tion this morning not having been more than per
%tit. A further decline occurred yesterday on the
Paris Bourse, but the depression appears to have
nen chiefly caused by the embarrassments of
lk operators, and the excessive specula
I°ll recently indulged in, but the private
advices received this morning are of a more
11serf.al tone, and the downward movement
Prices is considered to have ceased. It is ne-
eeasar3r to make this allusion to the position of
affairs on the Paris Bourse, since our own market
144 in a degree sympathised with its weakness. To-

Rpm. —The fall in the standard for copper, as it 1.1
affects the large dividend mines, caused shares in some
°f them to be rather freely offered for sale in the begin
hlg of the week, but, notwithstanding, the market has
been well supported, and the business transacted of con-
Siderable amount. The apprehension of a brush with
the Americans, who are good customers for our lead,
tensed this article also to decline, and the miners have,
p consequence, been getting 11 10s. to 2/. per ton less
IRl' their Ores. It is generally considered, however,
likat the decline in both metals will prove of a tem.
t,crary charcter, and not much importance is attached
it Tin a
maintains its price, and shares in the tin
"",:lles are still in favour, Ding Dong, Providence Mines,
:`°(l others being largely dealt in. The silver-lead mines
41:,c nisi) sought after ; Trelawny, 29 to 30 ; Mary Ann,
`l, ex div. South Tamar, from which such great things
Vier •
e expected, and with 80,0001. worth of ore in reserve,
e2lB unaccountably dull ; shares are little better than
‘,17 their former price. The greatest rise during the
ht, has been in Great South Tolgus, shares (6,oooths)
"ng advanced from 61. to 9/. ss. each ; the lode is
IPorted worth 701. per fathom.—Mining Journal of
day.
