COMMERCIAL lIITTELLIGENCII.,

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
st
with some animation. The sales were estimated 14
at 12,000 bales (2,000 for export and 3,000 on
speculation), comprising 700 Egyptian, 6i l. to 1;
842 d., and 1,000 Surat, 40. to sgd. per lb. The
Railway Share Market closed at an advance. • 31
The business transacted during the past week in ni
Colonial produce has not been very extensive.

There has been a firm market for all descriptions 25
of sugar, but previous rates have not been ex-
ceeded. There has been more inquiry for Native sat
Cbylon Coffee, and steady rates have been realised, 5j
but Cocoa and Tea have been very dull, and rather
5203
cheaper. Rice has been heavy at a decline of 6d. 20
per cwt. Saltpetre has continued firm, and Cochi- 10
neal has realised a slight advance. In Rum few 10
transactions have been reported, but prices have 5
remained steady. The Tallow Market has slightly St.

improved.

Advices from Lubeck to the 22d inst. state that I St.
the wool fair at that city had commenced on the 21
20th.and closed on the 21st. The quantity brought . st.
for sale amounted to 22,450 stone of 221bs. each, lot•
being about 2,000 stone more than the preceding qt.
year. The wools consisted chiefly of Mecklenburg 10
and Holstein, and the remainder from Denmark 20
and Sweden. Buyers were more numerous than it
during the preceding year, and a less quantity 10
3t
remained unsold. There were many purchases it.
made on account of England and France, st
but the principal transactions were con- Itt:
ducted by Mecklenburg, Holstein, and Ber- 3t.
lin houses. The prices obtained in no case 2
Were lower than in 1856, while the greater portion ,so
realised an improvement of /to 4 rixthaler on IV
Common wools, and from Ito 11 rixthaler on fine. 3tl
Ordinary qualities brought from 12 to 13 rixthalers 3
per stone, middling sorts 131 to 15 rixthalers, and Ni
fine qualities from 151 to 171 rixthalers. Although gt.
the producers and merchants having wools to sell 3t-
did not stand out for any great advance in price, 10
yet, during the first part of the fair, they did not 12ii
press for sales. This was met on the part of 141:1
buyers by liberal offers, which were generally taken,
and the business of the fair closed satisfactorily to
all parties.
Owing to the sum that will have to be paid on
the late loan to morrow, namely 1,000,0001., there
is a slight increase in the demand for accommoda-
tion, but next week many expect that money will
be almost a drug in the market, and that a further
decline in the official minimum must ensue.
The Bourse at Paris appears to be gradually
improving, and there is no longer any apprehension
of a continuance of the depression or of further
failures. The number of " executions" which have
been effected has cleared the market of weak and
unsafe speculators. Some of our leading capitalists
and dealers, feeling confident of an early recovery,
are purchasing largely at the current rates ; while
the satisfactory intelligence from the provinces not
affected by the inundations, relative to the grow-
ing crops, exercises a beneficial influence on prices.
The Funds are very buoyant, and there is a
strong upward tendency in prices. Since this time
Yesterday the advance has been fully 4 ore per
sent., and a larger business has been done. As
the money market is comparatively very easy, and
there is a probability of its becoming more so, there
is a disposition to continue the speculation for the
tee, and Consols have been dealt in at 954 and
95i. For the 10th proximo the quotations to-day
have been 94 to 95, and since 951. The Scrip,
Owing to the settlement, is nominal. Exchequer
Bills are 12s. to 14s. prem. The New Threes are
95i 2, and the Reduced 95 to 95/. Bank Stock is

The correspondence which has taken place be-
tween the Hon. Est India Company and the di-
rectors of the Bombay and Baroda Railway Com-
pany, relative to the amount of the survey and
preliminary expenses, has been printed. The out-
-11137 has reached 34,277/. 10s. 7d., but the East
India House rafuses to admit a larger sum than
28,800/. for the purposes mentioned. A committee
of seven gentlemen has been appointed to confer
with the directors " as to the best mode of carrying
into effect the special agreements which were made
With the chairman, the secretary, and the engineer
of the Company."
This being " making-up " day in the Share as
Well as Foreign Stock Markets, very few fresh
dealings were recorded. The rates for " continu-
ation" are heavy, and the market is influenced by
'oe preparations in progress for the settlement.
Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, &c., and a few
others, have further advanced. The French, Co-
'ooial, and Belgian are dull.
Western Bank of London and Victoria Docks
Shares are in favour.

t AUSTRALIAN POSTAL SERVIOE.—The successful
,eeer for the conveyance of the Australian mails from
'eez. has we l been that of Messrs. Patrick Hen-
derson and Co.earn The contract is stated to be fir the
stku
of 185,0001., the service to commence on the Ist of
'etober at a guannteel speed of 101 miles per hour.
It is generally stated and believed that the Princes of
e Orleans family intend taking the opportunity af-
i,rded by the late law, granting the sum of 600,000 f. to
eb heirs of the Princesses, to protest, if they have not
ready done so, against the Decree of Confiscation 9f
4tluary, 1852. The present law they consider as an
tirlielission on the part of the Emperor of the illegality of
at decree—as an admission that the confiscation to the
Stateof of the property in question was an act of violation
the rights of property.
ti s" is thought probable that a satisfactory and defini-
/Pe arrangement will take place between St. Petersburg
clergy
the Papal Court on the subject of the Catholic
„, in Poland.
