AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoc7z.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, without any alteration in prices from Fri-
daT- The sales amounted to 5,000 bales, all of
Which were sold to the trade. The Railway Share
Market was active at a slight advance on the cur-
rency of last week.
Accounts from the French silk markets state that
the sellers of the raw mr,..terial have been obliged
at last to give way in their prices, in consequence
of the limited requimments of purchasers. At
Aubenas the fall is 10 francs per kilogramme on
the rates of September last, and raw silk of good
quality is now quoted at 92f. 50c. per kilo. The
fair of Joyeuse was held towards the close of last
month, when there was a great scarcity of buyers„
Which caused a fall in prices equal to that at
Aubenas. At Marseilles, the stock of cocoons was
estimated at 350,000 kilogrammes.
The commercial report from Antwerp, for the
Week, ended the Ist inst., states that there have
been some fluctuations in the markets for Colonial
produce, and the grain market has experienced a
further decline in prices. The market for wool
was the most animated, on account of some large
arrivals from Buenos Ayres, and London ; and the
prices of all sorts were well maintained. There
were some considerable imports of coffee, but rates
were not affected thereby, as the stock on hand
were rather low. In sugar the supply scarcely
equals the demand, and holders of stocks are ask-
ing higher prices.
The directors of the Crystal Palace Company
baying fully met the views of the Committee of the
Stock Exchange with regard to the fraudulently..
transferred and r egistered shares, it has been re-
solved by the latter that dealings in those securities
shall be recognised. The subjoined letter, and the
committee's resolution, were posted in the House
yesterday afternoon
18 56.
:
" Crstal Palace, ctober 31,
"Sir,—ln reply to your letter of theO 30th instant, I beg
to say that all transfers of shares for which certificates of
registration have been issued, as well as those entered on
the register of shareholders of the company, will be ad-
plated and con'sidered valid.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, (signed) " GEORGE GROVE, Secretary.
" To George Webb, Esq., Secretary to the
Committee, Stock Exchange.

" The committee of the Stock Exchange, considering the
above to be satisfactory, so far as relates to transfers of
shares in that situation, have resolved unanimously—
" ' That the resolution respecting Crystal Palace shares,
Passed on the 27th ult., be not confirmed.'
"By order of the Committee.
" " GEORGE WEBB, Secretary.
Monday, 3d Nov., 1856."
The large arrival of specie announced yesterday,
viz., about 350,0001., hastened to impart increased
confidence among those interested in the progress
of monetary affairs, because if the James Baines
is soon announced with 700,0001., which she is
known to have on board, there is a fair prospect of
an addition being made to the stock of bullion in
the Bank of England, as the purchases of gold on
behalf of the Bank of France are less active, and
there is an absence of withdrawals from Thread-
needle-street. This being the fourth of the month,
there is increased pressure in the disceunt market,
as the amount of bills now due is very considerable.
AB parties have been making active preparations
during the last few days for. these engagements, it
is not expected that more than the usual amount
of embarassment will be experienced.

The French Funds on theßourse, yesterday, ex-
perienced very little alteration, but they were a
trifle lower. The latest prices of the 3 per Cent.
Rentes was 66f. 80c. for money, and 67f. 10c. for
account. The liquidation of the account was
effected without difficulty, and the public continue
their purchases for investment.

After the sudden advance in the English Stock
Market yesterday, it might have been expected
that a reaction would have ensued, and the decline
of 4 per cent., which has taken place this morning,
is therefore not surprising. Purchasers at lower
prices have been tempted to realise their profits,
and the market consequently is drooping. At the
present moment, however, there is less weakness
than at the commencement of business, and the
tendency is towards recovery. Consols have been
93 to 93k, and since 921 for mosey and the Gth
proximo. They are now 911 93 for transfer, and
93 for December. There have been dealings in
New Threes at 921 / 1, and in the Reduced 911
92k, and in the 5 per Cents. at 114. Exchequer
Bills are par to 3s. premium, and the Bonds are
98'4 A.

There have been very few dealings in the Foreign
Market, and yesterday's prices have not been
maintained. Turkish 6 per Cents. are marked 91
to 911, and the 4 per Cents. have also been nomi-
nally lower. Portuguese 3 per Cents. brought
431, Sardinian 5 per Cents. 89k, and Dutch 4 per
Cents. 9511-.

An active business has been done in Railway
Shares this morning, although prices generally
have exhibited a decline of about to I per cent.
Caledonian, Great Northern, Great Western, Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, North Western, Midland,
and South Eastern have been 10s. lower. Grand
Trunk of Canada have improved ss. East Indian,
Great Western of Canada, and Paris and Lyons are
steady. In Joint-Stock Bank Shares the dealings
have been limited, but Bank of Egypt and London
and Westminster have slightly improved, the for-
mer ss. and the latter 15s. Union of Australia
and Union of London are well maintained. There
have been some transactions in Miscellaneous
Shares at enhanced price 3. Australian Agricultu-
ral are quoted 231, 24'E, and Canada Government
