CITY, Two ~'k

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
wigi a hardening tendency, and prices of Arne-
ric:tns were rather dearer. The sales amounted to
7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export.
The Etailway Share Market opened quietly, but
subsequently improved, and closed with a steady
aspect, t.

The trade report from Paris for the past week
states that the facili.y with which the payments
falling .due on the 31st October were met has com-
pletely re-established the general situation of com-
merce, and dissipated all apprehensions of further
embarras mutant at the close of the year. _ This

favourable change in the state of trade is chiefly
- owing to the prudence exercised by traders in
limiting dieir purchases to the current sales of the
day. The principal transactions, since the mone-
tary crisio in August, having been effected with
cash has also lessened the amount of engagements
due at the .close of December. The increase in the
accounts cn =ant of the Bank is said not to
be owing to the ordinary operations of commerce,
but to the extensive purchases of the precious
metals, and the speculations in wheat and raw ma
terials for manufactures, such as silk and cotton.
The retail trade is very quiet, although the cold
weather has sev in early, and the demand for winter
goods is expected to give an impetus to business for
some weeks. The manufactures are also dull, and
the number of foreign orders very limited, in con-
sequence of the monetary crisis, while very few
purchasers from the country are in town. There
has been a further decline in the prices of wheat
during the week of about 50 centimes per hecto-
litre in the principal markets.
At the half-yearly meeting, this morning, of the
Sambre and Meuse Railway Company—Mr.
Richards in the chair—a report was read, which
showed an improvement in the traffic of the half-
year and a diminution in the expenditure. The
receipts were 30,7591. for the half-year, and the
balance in hand 1,4221. The report was adopted.

The Avon, from the Brazils and River Plate,
has arrived. She brings about 2,0001. in specie.
The dollars brought by the last Mexican steamer,
the Parana, have been purchased at ss. 2Ad.,
being an advance of id. per ounce, owing to the
active demand which prevails for this metal.
In the general condition of the Money Market
no change of importance can be reported.
The pressure continues, but there is no
excitement, and the demand, though active, is
steady. On Friday next the monthly return of
the Bank of France, which is looked for with some-
anxiety, will be published, and it is thought it will
show a further deficit in the bullion. If this is so,
it is probable that gold remittances will continue
to be made from this country, and the arrival of
the James Baines, and other Australian ships,
with specie, will therefore be of great importance,
because, if they do not occasion an increase in the
stock of bullion in Threadneedle-street, they will
at all events prove ample to satisfy the immediate
export inquiry.

The Funds have been in a dull and heavy state,
in consequence of the limited speculative opera-
tions, and a few money sales which have been
effecter'. Consols for money have been 92/ 1, and
for account 921 The NW Threes have been
81i I, the Reduced 9111, and the New 21 per
Cents. 76. East India Stock is 2261. Exchequer
Bills have been 3s. discount to 2s. premium, the
Bonds 984, and East India Bonds 2s. discount.
Foreign Securities are also inactive, but very
little alteration in prices has occurred. Turkish 6
per Cents. are officially marked 894 90, but the 4
per Cents, are at nominal rates. In Spanish New
Deferred there have been a few dealings at 23k 19
being flat, and the Passive Bonds are 6. Sardinian
have been 89i, Chilian 6 per Cants. 104, and Bra-
zilian 41 per Cents. 97k.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferrefl Bonds, 64 7t ; Mexi-

Great Western, Lancashire

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL, Some uerences
of opinion had prevailed between the Earl of Albe-
marle and the committee for conducting the Norfolk
and Norwich Musical Festival. These difficulties have
been happily arranged, and the noble lord has con-
sented to accept the office of chairman of the commit-
tee, which was offered to him some time since. At a
meeting of the City Committee of the Town Council,
on Thursday, it was decided to erect a new orchestra
in St. Andrew's Hall, although the consideration of
the details was postponed for the present. It was pro-
Posed that the orchestra should accommodate 500 per-
sons; as it is intended to use it, for the first time, at the
estival.
