AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

"11 TY, Two o'CLooK.

ri The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
,i',. very quietly, but with a firm aspect, and prices of
~
`7, all descriptions were Id. per lb. dearer. The sales
were estimated at 10,000 bales, comprising 160
Pernam and Maranham, bid. to 7id.; 10 Bahia,
r 6id. ; 300 Egyptian,' bid. to 91d. ; I,OGO Surat,
41d. to 51d. ; and 80 Sea Islands, is. to Is. 6d.
-•,`per lb. The Railway Share Market ruled dull. i
The final instalments, amounting to 1,050,0001.,
].;have to be paid to-morrow on the recent loan and
funding of Exchequer Bills. There is, conse-'
!..quently, a good demand for money in Lombard-I
street, and at the Bank of England. i
:.- As was generally anticipated, the market for
'Public Securities exhibits a dull appearance to-'
g;
day, in consequence of the thin attendance of deal-I
"'ere and others. Consols for money have been'
steady at 92i to 93, and for account at 931 1.1
.;The New Three per Cents. are 92i1 i, and the Re-
'.duced 91 1,. Bank Stock is heavy at 2111. The:
7:,,March Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. premium,
liand the June ditto 3s. discount to par.
In the Foreign Market business is exceedingly
?dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. are heavy at 981 /
8)
-- and the 4 per Cents. at 1011. Russian 4i perl
'Cents. have. receded to 95 and 951 and Sardinian
.to 95 and 951. Spanish Deferred Bonds are"
marked 241. Brazilian 5 per Cents. 991, ditto 4i
per Cents. 94-i, and ditto 5 per Cents. 98. Dutch 4

- , The Railway Share Market is inactive and prices
are generally rather flatter. Great Western, I.An-
t" cashire and Yorkshire, and South Western are ss.
.i
to 10s. lower. Foreign Shares have been dealt in
to a very limited extent, and the Colonial are
quieter.
