MONEY MARKET

COMMEaffiAL v4iN

CITY, Two o'CLoca.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices of all descriptions were un-
changed. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Rail-
way Share Market was very steady at full prices.
The col.inial produce markets this week have
been quieter, and purchases have been confined to
immediate requirements. For sugar a dull market
has prevailed, and a decline in prices of 6d. per
cwt. has occurred where sales have been pressed.
Coffee has not been much inquired for, but com-
mon plantation Ceylon has maintained full prices.
Trinidad cocoa is is. to 2s. per cwt. cheaper ; rice
has advanced, and tea has supported previous
values, although the dealings have been limited.
Tallow has been dull.

The accounts from New York, per steamer
Atlantic, state that the Stock Market had mate-
rially improved in consequence of some extensive
purchases. No material alteration had occurred
in the Money Market, but the large receipts of
/specie from California had increased confidence.
In the advices received this morning from
France, the particulars of the trade of the country
during the month of October are furnished. In
that period the customs receipts increased to
16,220,000 f., against 13,187,000 f. in the correspond-
ing month of 1855. This addition has been produced
by larger importations of corn, coffee, foreign sugars,
oil, grain, cotton, wool, raw iron, iron in bars,
Pewter, lead, tallow, silk, &::. There were also
larger exports of wines and alcohol, refined sugar,
machinery, cotton and silk fabrics, porcelain wares,
dm. The navigation returns give the arrivals of
ship:i in the ten months of this year at 21,868, and
the departures at 12,183 of 1,920,203 tons, showing
a material augmentation, compared with the pre-
"ions year.
The mails by the Lightning have been delivered
to-day, and the advices, both with regard to trade
and the productions of gold, are encouraging.
Temporarily, however, the operations of the miners,
as well as business, had been interrupted by the
unfavourable state of the roads between the towns
and the diggings. The Directors of the Bank of
Victoria have declared the usual half-yearly divi-
dend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.
There is less inquiry for money in Lombard-
street and at the Bank of England. Approved
commercial bills are in some instances discounted
at a fraction below the minimum quotation.
The Funds have been at further enhanced quo•
tations, and the transactions are rather extensive,
but this improvement is not supported with firm-
ness After such an important rise, however, and
considering the high range of prices, a little fluc-
tuation is not to be wondered at ; but the gene-
ral position of the market appears buoyant.
Consols have been 931 I for money, 93/ 94 for
the December account, and 94i for January.
The present values are about 93 for money, and
93/ for the next account, being flatter. The New
3 per Cents. have been 92/ the Reduced 924 /,
Exchequer Bills 1 dis. to 1 prem., and the Bonds
98i • Bank Stock is 215.
Foreign Securities have also advanced. Turkish
6 per Cents, have been higher, viz., 93 94k, but
they are now about 931 /. The 4 per Cents, have
been 1001 101. Spanish Bonds are firm, the
Threes being 41/ 42, and the New Deferred 23/ ,-
Russian 4i per Cents, are 96k, Brazilian 6 per
Cents. 1001, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 96k.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 7 ; Mexi-
can, 22 a 1 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 77 8 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 55 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,

Passive, 6 6i.

Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that during
the past week there has been a fair amount of busi-
ness done in the market for American Securities.
In railway securities, however, the transactions
have been confined principally to the bonds and
shares of the Illinois Central, for which there has
been an active demand at improved prices.
