MON E Y MARKET

AND
COIVredER.OIAL INTIRT,LIGENGR

CITY, Two o'Orony.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly but steadily, and prices of all descriptions
were unchanged. The sales amounted to 6,000
bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters.
The Railway Share Market closed steadily, without
any material change on the current rates of Satur-
day.

Accounts from Russia continue to speak of the
rapid development of the trade of the country since
the conclusion of the peace. The value of the ex-
ports from St. Petersburg this year is estimated
at 200,000,000 of francs. Next to corn, it is
stated that the most important article exported is
tallow, of which more than 90,000,000 lbs. have
been shipped. Of course it is reported that the
Russian Railway project has been very favourably
received on the Bourse, and various other under-
takings, having for their object the opening up of
fresh branches of trade, are now also on the tads.
-At present, however, when the money markets of
the whole of Europe are so greatly disturbed there
can be no doubt that the difficulty which must be
experienced in raising the necessary capital will
stand in the way of their early prosecution.
The inquiry for discount accommodation in
Lombard-street and at the Bank of England is
rather quieter ; the recent advance in the minimum
quotations having so far exercised a salutary effect.
In some instances first-class bills are negotiated
Out of doors at a trifle below the Bank minimum,
but, generally speaking, that quotation is steadily
maintained. The advices from Paris being more
favourable, and the Bank of France having tem-
porarily ceased to withdraw gold from this country,
the.hope is expressed thateircumstaticec will not ren-
der it necessary for the Threadneedle-street autho-
rities to adopt further restrictive measures, but, at
the same time it is not supposed that any speedy
improvement will take place. The James Baines
has not yet been announced, and the parties more
immediately interested are naturally becoming very
anxious. This vessel, together with the Lightning,
Which is also supposed to be due,will bring upwards
of a million sterling. _ _

Notwithstanding the speculation in silver on the
Continent has greatly diminished, there is still an
active demand for that metal, and the purchases
recently' effected are stated to be considerable.
The Colombo, which leaves Southampton on the
20th, will, it is believed, take out about 450,0001.
or 500,0001. in specie.
The Funds have advanced about per cent., and
the market is very buoyant, without much activity.
The public have been purchasing with more free-
dom, and• the improvement on the Paris Bourse
yesterday has contributed to impar additional
firmness to prices. Consols for mon,' . e been

The Foreign Stock Market is dull, but. also at
an improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. were 902
to 91, being a rise of Ito per cent., and the 4 per,

provement. Spanish New Deferred have been

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been limited,,' but quotations generally have im•
proved about f per cent. Caledonian, Lancashire
and Yorkshire,' North Eastern 130hvick, and South
Wales were fully ss. to 10s. better. The French
hues also exhibited a marked advance, Paris and
Ilona and 'Northern of France being fully 11.
higher than yesterday's closing rates. Lombardo-
,Velletian) Grand Trunk of Canada, and East Indian
have also shown a slight upward movement.
