ONEY MARKET LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLcios.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
quietly, at precisely the current rates of Friday
last. The sales were estimated from 9,000 to
10,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken for ex-
port, and 1,000 on speculation, comprising 230
remain and Maranbam, 60. to 70. ; 200 Bahia,
6 d, ; 200 Egyptian, 61d. to lid. ; 1,500 Surat,
W. to 51d. ; and 200 Sea Islands, at ls. to ls.
4d. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed
quietly, and prices were a shade lower.
The weekly commercial report from Antwerp
states ,that business was a secondary consideration
daring the past week, in consequence of the fetes
given to the King, absorbing the attention of the
public. What little business was done in the grain
market showed an inclination to firmness at pre-
vious quotations, with a rise in wheat and rye.
The sales of wool were chiefly parcels from Eng-
land, Hamburg, and Buenos Ayres, which realised
full prices. The sugar market exhibits a tendency
to decline, while coffee presented an upward
movement.

The news from Copenhagen relative to the
Sound dues are more encouraging than ever of an
approaching solution to this vexed question, and it
is expected that if all the European states interested
agree to the capitalisation, there is every proba-
bility of the United States ultimately coming to
the same arrangement.
The accounts from New York, per steamer
Washington, report continued ease in the money
market, but the loans and discounts of the
City banks, according to the last return,
had slightly decreased, which was generally
considered a favourable feature. The bullion,
however, was also smaller, owing to the ab-
sence of arrivals from California. During the
week ending the 10th inst. the exportation of
specie from New York was nearly 1,300,000 dols.,
and for the year to that date more than 21,000,000
dollars.

During the fortnight ending yesterday the
amount of bills drawn by the Honourable East
India Company on the three presidencies was
24,9881.
Yesterday afternoon there was a reaction in the
prices of English Stocks to the extent of about
per cent., from which there has not yet been any
recovery. The market, however, is stationary,
and the tendency at present is rather in the direc-
tion of an improvement. Consols for money are
95 to 95k, and for account 951. Exchequer
Bills are 11s. to 133. premium, and the Bonds
1008. The New 3 per Cents. are 95 to 96k, and
the Reduced 95g. a.
Foreign Stocks are very quiet, but well sup-
ported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1038 and
the 4 per Cents. nominally without alteration.
Russian 41 per Cents. are 981, Spanish Passive 6!,
and Dutch 41 per Cents. 98k. French Threes are
70.50, with the Exchange at 25f. 221 c.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 ; Mexican,
191 201; Peruvian, 8213 A ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9 ;
Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46 7; Russian 5 per
Cents., 111 13 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa-
nish 3 per Cents., 44 ; ditto Deferred, 241
26 ; ditto Certificates, 6 1; ditto Passive, 61 7.
The Railway Share Market is rather heavy in
anticipation of the settlement of the account, to-
morrow being " making-up" day. Great Western,
Brighton, North-Eastern (Ber wick), and some
others, are ss. to 10s. lower. Great Western of
Canada shares are flatter, but the foreign descrip-
tions are dull, at almost previous values. Riga and
Dunaburg shares are 1i prem.
Mining Shares are inactive, and in Banks there
is scarcely any movement. Royal British are
down 10s. Ottoman are 10i. In Miscellaneous
there is no change to report.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE MORTIMER.

This bankrupt was described as of the Strand, printer,
and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which
was adjourned in consequence of no accounts having been
filed. The only point in the case was on an application
on behalf of a gentleman named Darby, who bad been
connected with the bankrupt in the printing, publishing,
and editing of the Britannia newspaper. Some diffe-
rence, however, arising between the bankrupt and the
proprietors of the paper, tie bankrupt was dismissed
without due n3tice, and be broug'-it an action and re-
covered 801. damages. The question now was bow
much Mr. Darby was entitled to, as the jury had not
apportioned the damages for printing and publishing,
and tho sub-editing, which had been performed by Mr
Darby.

It was ultimately arranged that the amount recovered
be equally divided.

IN RE W. HART.

This bankrupt was described as of Fenchurch•street,
merchant, and to-day was appointed for choice of assig-
nees. From the preliminary statement by Messrs.
Johnstone and Murton, Ironmonger-lane, it appears that
the debts are about 1,7501., and the assets in London
are about 2501., and property abroad about 1,2001. ; but
the bankrupt being pressed in consequence of not being
able to obtain returns, was compelled to petition this
Court.

Assignees were chosen.
IN RE PUDDICOMBE.

This was a meeting for the choice of assignees under
the estate of this bankrupt, an ironmonger, of Bridge-
street, Borough.

Mr. Chidley appeared for the bankrupt, who had pe
taloned the Court, which course Lad been deemed ad.
visaLle for the benefit of the creditors.

IN RH WILLSON.

This was also a meeting for choice of assignees.
Bankrupt was a pait•ter at Kingsland.
Mr. Chidley appeared for the petitioning creditor, and
assignees were chosen, and Mr. Chidley appointed soli-
cit9r under the ba:kruptcy.
