The Liverpool Cotten-1 Market on Saturday
continued verysteady, although well supplied, and
prices of all descriptions were unchanged from
those current on Friday. The sales were estimated
at 8,000 bales, comprising 6,200 Americans (of
which exporters took 500, and speculators took
4,000), 300 Pernam and Maranham, 6;id. to 71d. ;
400 Egyptian, 61. d. to 9d. ; 800 Surats, 44d. to
51d. ; (400 for export), and 100 Sea Islands, 111 d.
to ls. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
quiet, without any variation of importance.

Commercial advices from Mot cow of the 15th
August contain a report of the wool fair at Ekate-
rinoslaw. The quantity brought for sale amounted
to 50,000 poods (1,800,000 lbs. English), of which
40,000 poods were washed wools, and the remain-
der in grease. Th. 3 washed wools, with very few
exceptions, consisted cf a more inferior quality
than has been seen for many years past, and the
rest were in a worse condition than those brought
to Charkow and Pultowa. The rates established
at this fair were as follows :—Washed wools, 131 to
171 roubles per pood ; ditto in grease, 81 to 9/
ditto. Some speculators brought about 15,000
poods to take to the market at Pultowa.

From Frankfort we learn that the autumn fair
had been well attended by merchants. Cotton
manufactures forwarded from various German
States were in good demand, and large quantities
had been purchased for exportation. Silk goods,
however, of the finer qualities attracted most atten-
tion, the supply being inadequate. The result of
the fair surpassed the most sanguine expectations
of the local traders, a larger business having beQn
done, and higher prices realised, than in previous
years.

The weekly report from Paris states that there
is not much change in the position of commercial
affairs during the past week. Sales have been very
quiet, both at Paris and in the departments. The
manufacturers are preparing for the winter season.
A return to activity is expected about the close of
this month or the commencement of October.
There are at present a great number of buyers in
Paris from the departments as well as foreign
traders. The orders for Russia, for articles of
luxury, have now ceased. Some important pur-
chases have been made in the manufacturing
towns, of silks, woollen, and. cotton fabrics for the
ensuing season.

The intelligence from New York per steamer
Canada reports continued activity in the Stock
Market there, but the quotations tended down-
wards. Money was in rather less demand, but
the banks were contracting their loans and dis-
counts as much as possible. The balance of trade
Was still much in favour of Europe, and in the
Week ending the 22d ult. the imports exceeded
the exports to the extent of $ 3,841,312.

The English stock market continues to
be unfavourably influenced by the transactions
in connection with the approaching settle-
ment, and, notwithstanding the satisfactory ac-
counts relative to the progress of the harvest, and
a farther fall in the price of corn the Funds
have receded this morning to ± per cent.
The active demand for money both here and on
the continent intimidates some of the speculators,
Who, not feeling confident of an early advance in
quotations, have preferred closing their outstand-
ing engagements to carrying over at the pre-
vailing late of continuation. For money
the prices have been 94i 5, and 944 ;
for the 10th inst. they are 941 and for October
95 to 95±. The New Threes have been 95i I.
Exchequer Bills 13s. to 16s. prem., and the Bonds
14s. prem.

Foreign Stocks are dull, and without much
change in prices. The market, however, is flat.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031, and the 4 per Cents.
103, Spanish rule heavy, the Threes being 45,
and the Deferred 25. Russian 4i per Cents. are
98, Sardinian 92, and Equador New Consoli-
dated 14/.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, if ; Mexican,
221 ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9 ;
Portuguese 3 per Cents., 451 GAS ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 108 10 ; ditto 4,4 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa-
nish 3 per Cents., 44 5± ; ditto New Deferred,
25 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, G 7.
Railway Shares are all depressed, the de-
cline in the principal lines being ss. to 10s.
and the transactions have been limited. North-
Eastern (Berwick), and a few others, however, are
exceptions, being higher. There is a slight increase
of business in the Foreign market, but there is no
general alteration of importance. Rigas are 1i 11-
premium.
Railway Shares are weaker, but Mining and
miscellaneous are dull at previous rates.

MANCHESTER MECHANICS' INSTITUTION EXHIBITION.

bition will be opened to season ticket holders on that
day, as originally contemplated, but without any cere-

president.
GREECE.—The Corriere Italian() of Vienna says :
" Prince George Ypsilanti, nephew of the famous Greek
Princes Alexander and Demetrius, arrived here on the
Ist from Paris and London. It is said that his journey
to those capitals was connected with the question of the
succession to the throne of Greece, to which be has
claims in the event' of the renunciation to the throne by
Prince Adalbert. Prince Ypsilanti is 20 years of age,
and possessed of great wealth."
DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN TASIIIANIA.—From Tasmania
we have no direct intelligence by these arrivals, but
through the Melbourne papers we are glad to learn that
the reported discovery of gold at Fingal is said to be
confirmed, and that already a considerable body of diggers
have commenced operations. We trust that they may
be successful, for the benefit which the colony will realise
will be incalculable if this intelligence should fortunately
prove true.-7-AuStraltigTh and, Now Zogland Gazette.
