LIONE Y MARKET

AND

CONIVITIRCIAL INTELLIGENCR.

CITY, Two o'CLoos..
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
With a very dull aspect, and, compared with last
fa rates, all kinds were steadily supported.
The salsa am:meted to between 6,000 and 7,000
bales, 2,000 of what'll wore taken for export and
300 on speculation. The Raliwa.;• Market
was inactive, but prices were steady, and el,),,eti
firmly at their best point.
T he official returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion , for the month ending 31st Oct., have been
probtibited. From these it appears that the total
dee': Lred value o4f exports from the United King-
dom, for the month, was 10,666,951/., being an
incr ease of 1,806,3571., compared with those of the
like month in 1855. The increase is perceptible
in I Jeer and ale, coals and culm, cotton manufac-
turea, earthenware, glass manufactures, i,haber-
daehcry and millinery, hardwares anti cutlery,
Leather, linen, yarn, metals, silk manufactures,
vrootlen and worsted manufactures, and woollen
and worsted yarn ; but there was a falling off in
fish., machinery, and soap. The importations
of the principal articles were larger, as
respects animal charcoal, clocks, cocaa, corn,
baraey, oats, rye, flour, raw cotton, flax, cur-
rant
plate glass, hemp, leather manufac-
lorea , potatoes, rice, saltpetre, silk manufactures,
cloves, nutmegs, brandy, Geneva, sugar unrefined,
talltesv, tea, wine, and sheep's and lambs' wool.
Thor° was a diminution, compared with the same
mokath, in live animals, coffee, dyeing stuffs, em-
broidery, metals, opium, provisions, rum, and
tohkocc,.
T.he return relative to shipping also exhibits
some satisfactory features, a much larger number
of foreign vessels having,been employed in the fo-
reipa trade of the United Kingdom, as well as in
the coasting business.
Irk the commercial advices from the Continent,
received this morning, a statement is furnished of
the progress& of the manufacture of beetroot sugar
in France during the season 1856 7, until the end
of October. It appears that 269 manufactories
bare been in full operation, or 15 more than at the
corresponding period of the previous season, and
that the production has been 15,000,000 kilo-
grs..mmes. This has become a most important
branch of French industry, and the article
made has, of course, greatly superseded
the foreign staple, the periodical return& of
imports showing a steady increase in this respect.
The Paris Bourse yesterday recovered from the
weakness noticed during the two or three previous
days, the investing public having again come for-
ward as purchasers. With regard to monetary
affairs a gradual improvement is spoken of, and
it is expected that the next monthly return of the
Bank of France will show some very satisfactory
results.
The Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada
will pay a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. per
annum.

The Directors of the Bank of England have se-
parated without announcing any change in the
terms of discount. Although many were of opinion
that a reduction of A per cent, would have been
made, it could scarcer), have been supposed when all
the circumstances connected with the recent crisss are
dnlyconsidered that affairs had sufficiently improved
to admit of any relaxation in the restrictive policy
lately adopted. The amount of "other Securities"
must be greatly reduced, and the reserve of notes
will have to be considerably augmented before any
of the discount restrictions are removed ; and
it is thought, therefore, that the lowering of
the rate at the present moment would have
been very indiscreet. At a later period of the
year there is no doubt capital will become cheaper,
but although it is very desirable to relieve trade
from the shackles now existing, but at the same
time it is equally important that undue encourage-
went should not be given to speculation by a too
precipitate action on the part of the directors.
The Bank will make advances on stock during
the shutting of the transfer books at

The English Stock Market opened
wi Cent.th a buoy-
appearance, but very little animation is appa-
rent, and at the present moment prices are rather
less firm. The dealers are busily engaged in
arranging the half-yearly account in Shares
and Foreign Stocks, and as the settlement
of the Consul account soon takes place
fresh operations are temporarily contracted. Con-
sols for money have been 941 aryl 941 and for
the December account 941 have been the values.
