MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
-6,

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
Without any alteration in prices. The sales were
7,000 bales, 1,000 on speculation, comprising 380
Pernam and Maranham, si-d. to 6lcd. ; 100
Egyptian, sd. to 61d. ; 300 Surat, 31d. to sd. ;
4" 30 Sea Islands, 10td. per lb. In the Railway
Share Market a steady feeling existed, and prices
Were rather dearer than on Friday.
The intelligence from New York by the steamer
Canada renresents the demand for discount accom-
rnodation as having continued active; but trade
was healthy, and the merchants and others ex-
pected a material improvement as the spring ad-
.valieed. The importation of most articles of mer-
chandise was extensive, and an increased inquiry for
Specie was likely to arise for remittances to Europe.
The advices from California mention that trade
vas exceedingly dull, notwithstanding the stocks
most articles were much reduced. Heavy rains '1
bad fallen throughout the mining districts, and 122
great activity consequently prevailed. 50
In reviewing the receipts of the French railways 20
for the last two years, a comparison between them St,
and the returns published by the companies in 10
Great Britain has been published, showing that •
While both have increased during the war, the St.
''rench have progressed more in proportion. The st.
gross amount of receipts on British railways in 1854
is set down at 464 millions of francs, and in 1855 24'5'
Lionel
506 millions, exhibiting an increase of 46 mil- 25
Lionel ; while the total receipts on French lines 4)
Were 191 millions in 1854, and 252 millions in St.
1855, being an augmentation of 61 millions. This to
°Peaks well for the general management of the ti
l'renohrailways. The earnings of the principal lines ,0
for the last week show the following increase 10
as compared with the corresponding week of 1854.

Ikcoounts from Russia, by way of Hamburg, state I,
that the Russian Government are raising a new St
Loan (?) in Finland, amounting to 600,000 silver ltc
rollbieEo—eqUiVaient to 100,0001. sterling—to be -
specially collected in that province, towards defray- "
ing the expenses of the war. St
Prom Madrid it is announced by telegraph St
that the Society of General Credit at Catalonia 24
has been fully authorised by the Government to 2
commence operations. This will make the third 5t
tostitutim of the kind likely to be established in 2
gPain. 11

The Hashmy, from New South Wales, has
arrived, with 70 ounces of gold. Her advices are
to the 6th October only, and have therefore been
anticipated.
The corn trade is somewhat firmer to-day, and
spring corn is at a slight advance.
The satisfactory tone of the Continental advices
respecting the arrangements in progress for the
settlement of a peace is exercising a favour-
able influence on the quotations of English
_securities, and business, both real and specu-
lative, is increasing. Consols have imprOved this
morning about per cent. For money the
Prices were from 91 to 914 ; the opening values
have risen to 91 and 911, and for account they 30
have reached 91i /, At present, however, they it
are 914 -a. The new 3 per Cents. have been 91i wo
92 4, and the Reduced Exchequer Bills are 20
6s. to 25., and India Bonds 6s. discount. 20
There has been increased firmness in Foreign 22=200
Stocks, but the market is not active. Turkish 6 tom,
per Cents. have been as high as 914 d. to 92, the
4 per Cents. are i per cent. higher than on Satur-
day, namely, 1.021 to 1021. Venezuela Deferred
are 12/, Peruvian 4/ per Cents., are 791 to 801, 2€
and Do., Dollar Bonds 59i, 60, and 61. Portu-
guese 5 per Cents. are quoted at 56. Russian 5 2(
Per Cents. rulesteady at 104, and Sardinian are 89. 4
Rather a decided improvement has taken place 21
in the Railway Share Market, and this description 10
of property is now attracting more attention than Loo
for a long time past, Brighton, Lancashire and Ig?,
Yorkshire, and some others have risen to 1 per "
cent. Antwerp and Rotterdam shares, Madras, 0
and Sombre and Meuse, are likewise dearer. Great t2l
Western of Canada are quiet. 2(
Mining Shares rule flat, and the dealings in
i( t
Joint-Stock Banks are at previous prices.
Australian Agricultural are about ss. better.
