COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLooK

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
very firmly but steadily, and compared with the
rates of Friday prices of all kinds were the same.
The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, (1,000 for
export, and 1,000 on speculation), comprising 300
gYptian, 64d. to 9d. ; 600 Surat, 44d. to 42d. ;
and 80 Sea Islands, 11d. to ls. 11d. per lb. The
Railway Share Market was quiet, at about the
previous currency.
Advises from New York, by steamer Arabia,
State that the Stock Market continue flat. No
alteration had occurred in the condition of mone-
tary affairs, and no reduction iu the rate of dis-
counte was expected. The specie movements was
eeruing very important, and consequently
attracted the attention of capitalists. It was
expected, in the course of a few weeks, the
export of the precious metals would not
be so great, as the foreign trade was likely
materially to increase. Until the internal naviga-
tion was resumed much activity however could not
be looked for ; but as soon as the deep snows had
passed away, and the railroads, canals, and lakes
"ere in a condition to admit of the transport of
reds) immense quantities of produce would arrive
" the seaboard for shipment. Lt is stated that the
'ernlous crops of last Year had scarcely been
touched, and prices, it was thought would
e°ll?cluilitly decline upon the supply in the
marketsZ increasing. As far as could at present be
Jl4"lted, the next harvest would be equal to the
B'. The high prices which ruled during the last
"'jog season gave a great stimulus to cultivation,
11_114 the breadth of land now in wheat is said to be
treater than ever before known.
The Prussian Minister of Commerce has posted
114 a Ac6ree on the Bourse at Berlin regulating the
Le Of foreign and home stocks as follows :-Ist.

area of industrial companies, net having their

not completely paid up, is interdicted. 4th. The
Ministerial decree announces that the publication
°f

tious decree it was stated that any agent on the
Peut.% infringing these regulations would lose his
elle% No improvement has taken place in the
assi2in Funds.
The market for public securities is dull and some
tress in prices is apparent. This is owing probably
