O.NEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CL001:.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very quiet, and without any change iu prices from
the currency of Friday last. The sales amounted
to between 4,000 and 5000 bales, all to the trade,
including 130 Pernam and Maranham, 61d. to 7(1. ;
150 Bahia, Old. ; 30 Egyptian, 62d., and 300
Surat, 41. to sd. per lb. In the Liverpool Share
Market there was an active demand for the leading
stocks, at an advance of to 1 per cent. on the
closing rates of Monday.
The London and Eastern Banking Company has
opened a branch establishment in Mark-lane, which
is likely to prove of great service to the agricul-
tural, and other interests, whose business is chiefly
transacted in that locality.
As the transfer books at the Bank of England
will be closed to-morrow, it will, as usual, be ob-
served as a holiday on the Stock Exchange.
A meeting of Messrs. Syers and Walker's credi-
tors has been held to-day, when an offer of 4s. in
the pound was submitted. After a long discussion
a committee of five gentlemen was appointed to in-
vestigate the affairs of the firm, and to report
thereon. The feeling was in favour of a composi-
tion, and the acceptance of the above offer is conse-
quent upon the character of the report of the com-
mittee.
