COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENT&

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
-very firmly, and prices of Americans were id. per
lb., and Surats, dd. to id. per lb. dearer than last
week. The sales were estimated at 20,000 bales,
comprising 2,000 for export, and 8,000 on specula-
tion. The Railway Share Market was active, and
all the leading stocks advanced from 11 to 1 per
cent.

From the import returns at the port of Antwerp
there is a falling off in the articles of wheat, rye,
and other cereals, with the exception of rice, which
has increased considerably. The following is a
table of the chief items under this head, which
halo been imported from the Ist Oct. to the 15th
-Wheat 3,007,811 kilos.
Rye

The quantity of wheat in the depot on the 15th
wax 3,644,917 kilos., and of rye 1,114,966 ditto.

Later advices from Vienna state that all hope

of the Austrian National Bank being able to
resume cash payments on the Ist November are
abandoned by the community. In consequence of
this the premium upon bullion in exchange for their
notes has risen to 9 per cent. The last statement
of the Bank shows no diminution of the amount of
notes in circulation, notwithstanding the recent
increase of specie in the vaults of that establish-
Mont, The amount of notes is put down at
387,000,000 florins, and the reserve of bullion at
81"0,000 ditto.
in the commercial advices from New York, per
;steamer Baltic, it is stated that there was a consi-
derable pressure for money at the latest date, and
first-class mercantile paper was only negotiable at
8i to 9 per cent. Some interesting information is
given relative to the trade of New York during
last month. The value of the imports in that,
Period was $15,502,446, against $14,766,639 in
the corresponding month of 1855. Tho exports
were valued at $11,360,826 and at $3,738,547 re-
spectively, so that a heavy balance of trade still
exists against our transatlantic neighbours. For
speculative securities there was a weak market,
the public being generally disposed to press sales.
The demand for money continues active, and
full rates are current. For commercial purposes,
liOwever, there is no difficulty in getting 60 days'
blll3 discounted, but capitalists exercise great cau-
tion, and do not supply the market with cash so
abundantly as they did a week or two since.
The directors of the Bank of England, at their
al:1811a]. " parlor meeting" to-day, made no alteration
411 the terms of discount nor in their policy, with
respect to advances on stock.

A very buoyant market prevails for public se-
curities, and there is a remarkable scarcity of
money stock. The public during the last few days
44ve been eager purchasers, and there is still an
active inquiry. Consols for money have been
