COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
Closed with excitement. Compared with Friday's
rates, prices of Americans were 1-16 d. dearer ;
other kinds were extreme. The demand was active,
and the market ill supplied. The accounts per
Persia encourage people to believe in a sudden
falling off in the receipts. The sales were estimated
at 15,000 bales, of which 3,000 were for export,
and 3,000 on speculation. The sales included 800
Pernam and Maranham, at Gid. to 7d. ; 300 Bahia,
eid. to 6d. ; 700 Egyptian, 6id. to 9d. ; 200
Surats, 4id. to sd. ; and 150 Sea Islands, 10d. .to
17d. per lb. In the Railway Share Market there
Was no particular feature to note.
Accounts from Trieste state that wools are in
great demand there in consequence of a large de-
mand for the English market. Holders of stocks
have stood out for au advance and obtained it.
Sales of 1,050 bales white Albanian realised from
32 florins to 34k, 340 bales from Scutari of lambs'
from 48 to 50 florins, and a lot of coarser quality
from Bosnia brought from 37 to 41 florins.
Adyices from New York state the Stock market
Was quiet, but a revival of business was neon ex-
pected. During the week, ending March 28, there
Was an excess of imports over exports to the extent
of $3;261,208. The shipments of specie wefe
$158,706, making the total for the year to the
Same date $3,802,573.

From California we learn that the gold deposits
in the San Francisco Mint during the months of
January and February were 234,556 ounces, and
the coinage during the same time amounted to
$2,405,654, which is an increase of $839,025 over
chat of the corresponding period of 1855. Money
Was tight, but businesi was active.
By the Atrato, West India Mail packet, dates
from Pernambuco are to hand of the. 14th March,
announcing the arrival at that port of the Black-
Wall, which left Port Philip Heads on
the 28th December with 87,281 ozs. of gold on
freight, and the Victoria, from Adelaide, with pas-
sengers. Both of these vessels had put in to Per-
nambuco for supplies. The Atrato brings 680,000
dols. on freight. _ _ _

There is an extremely quiet market for Public
Securities, and the quotations are nearly stationary.
The arrangement of the Foreign Stock and Rail-
Way Share accounts is absorbing most attention at
the Stock Exchange. Consols for money are 93
to 93i, and for account. 93: The New 3, per
Ceuta. were 92i to 93, and the Reduced 91i to 92.
Bank Stock is 2121 to 213 i, being lower. The
March Exchequer Bills are 4s. premium, and the
June Is. discount. The Bonds are 981 -a. India
Stock is marked 229.

There is a very inanimate market for Foreign
Securities, and the quotations are not much affected
by the progress of the settlement. Turkish Bonds
are buoyant, the 6 per Cents. having risen to 98k
and 99} for money, and to 99 and 991 for account.
The 4 per Cents. are 1011 to 102. Mexican
Bonds are 22k, Equador New Consolidated 15k,
and the Ditto Land Warrants st. The other se-
curities are nominal.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 62 7i ; Mexi-
can, 222 3 ; Peruvian, 78 80 ; ditto 3 per Cents.,
64 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 6 ; ditto 41 per

Deferred, 24i ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto

This is " making-up" day in the Railway Mar-
ket, and the prices are consequently influenced by
the arrangement of the account. Money is in re
quest, and the rates of " contango" are heavy.
The market is active, as the amount of business
done recently has been extensive. The French
Lines coatinue firm, and the Belgian and the
Canadian are firmer.

Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares are
Without any change requiring special notice.
