OTT f, Two o'cLoait.
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
closed with an active appearance, and prices of
American, compared with Friday's rates, were
rather higher. The,sales amounted to 7,000 bales,
2,000 f which were taken on speculation. The
Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices
were scarcely maintained.
The progress of the Silk Trade during the past
month is thus described by Mr. H. W. Eaton :
" Having so recently reported the result of the
public sales, and the contents of the Overland Mail,
there is li.tle to add to the annexed monthly sta.
showing, it bvill be found, as eutup,,.ed with
this dx e last year, a decrease in the stock of China
and 13,:ngal raw silk of 0,423 bales, with an in-
creas.ed delivtry in the ten months of 1856 of 9,400
bales over these of 1855. T:1,3 advices from Cilina
of the large early settlements of 33,000 bales, of
Which 21,000 had already been sant forward, and
an advance in price of ls. Gd. to 2s. per lb., had at
the momentlittle or no effect, but within the last few
days the market has assumed a decidedly improved
tone, and a good business has been done under the
impression, it would seem, that in the above posi-
tion of stocks and consumption, the generally esti_
mated export to Great Britain of 65,000 to 70,000
bales of all sorts, would not exceed our require-
ments. In Bengal sik there has also been more
doing, but the assortment is indifferent, a large
portion of the cargo of the last steamer being infe-
rior, and of the rainy Bund. Prices by the last
mail were high in Calcutta, axd the heavy rains sc,'
had caused some apprehension for the November
1.61
Bend. In the Italian market the stock is extremely
limited, and but little doing. Prices are ou •th t
wi
change. In Brutias and Persians there is nn 20
alteration."

Accounts from Paris contain a decree modifying
the duties levied upon imported combing and dyed 2-9
wools of all sorts. Combing wools have hitherto
paid an ail valorem duty of 30 per cent ; and printed
wools 3001. per 100 kilos., brFrench vessels, and
317 f. 50c. by foreign ships. The new tariff sub-
stitutes for the general impost of 30 per cent. upon
combing wools, a duty of 70 for French and 80f.
by foreign vessels per 100 kilos., and instead of
300 and 3171. 50c, on printed wools to be reduced
to 100 f. and 1151. per ditto. These modifications
in the French tariff are important, as they will
serve to reduce the value of the raw material so
Much complained of by the manufacturers ; and
they are a step towards a complete reform of the
tariff upon imported wares as regulated by the de-
cree of the 20th July last. Under the empire
while these duties have been enforced there has
b_een a decline in the duties of foreign wools, which
during the past year did not exceed 170,497 f, ;
While printed wools scarcely appear on the Cus-
toms' return as an article of import.
During th© past week the exports of specie were
valued at 656,190, and the imports at 764,6001.
The following are the particulars of the amount
of bills drawn by the Hon. East Company, from
the 24th ult. to the 9th inst., on the three presi-
dencies :

Oa Bengal .................. £65,076 13 10

The market for Public Securities has been exceed-
ingly dull, a general indisposition being manifested
to enter into extensive engagements. Lord
Mayor's show has tended to check business,The but the
protracted voyage of the James Baines forms a
subject off

Little activity has been displayed in the Railway
Share Market this morning, and prices have exhi-
bited a downward tendency. In most of the lead-
ing lines a decline of about 10s. to 1/. may be
quoted—viz., Caledonian, Groat` Western, North-
Western, South-Western, Midland, North-Eastern
Berwick, and South-Eastern. The Canadian lines
have been steady, but French, Italian, and Belgian
are rather lower.
Joint-stock Bank shares are inactive, and prices
have exhibited but little change. Loudon and
County improved 55., and Union of Australia de-
Witted 15s. to it. Miscellaneous shares are with-
out material alteration.
