CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed flatly, and prices tended
downwards. The sales were estimated at 5,000
bales,'l,ooo of which were taken by the speculators.
In the Railway Share Market the transactions
were rather numerous, and prices were in most
instances supported.

The accounts from the south of France concern-
ing the silk crops continue favourable, for, although
the yield may not prove so large as might have
been desired, still it shows an improvement upon
that secured last year.
Trade throughout France is reviving, and the
movement which has been apparent for some time,
Be Ins to have received a decided impulsa during
the last few weeks. There is an increase in the
traffic receipts of many of the principal railways,
and the demand for discount among the commer-
cial interest is more active. These are encouraging
signs, but in addition we have an expression of
confidence in the mercantile letters from the prin-
cipal manufacturing towns, where the operations
are being conducted on an extended scale. Of course
there is no appearance of great animation, nor can a
complete return of prosperity be immediately looked
for, that being the work of time, but it is cheering
and satisfactory to find that a reaction has set in,
which, if continued, must soon create a marked
improvement in all branches of business.
The French Funds are still rather flat, and their
price is certainly very depreciated. Railway shares,
also, are in limited favour. It is stated that the
result of the negotiations, between tin Govern.
meat and the railway companies will most likely
be made known at the end of the month.
A-nother parcel of 60,0001. in Australian gold was
taken into the Bank of England yesterday, but as
;bout 50,0001. was purchased for transmission to
the Continent it is clear that the demand for that
PurPctv though it may have abated, has not en-
tirely ceased.
In the Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
there was no alteration of importance except in the
rate for Paris, which was rather higher. In conse-
quenee of the position of the exchange, some mode-
rate amounts of gold may be expected during the
presant week from Russia. The price of gold in
Paris still continues rather dearer than in London,
but in Hamburg and this country it is of equal

Two failures have been reported on the Stock
zachange to-day ; the parties in question were
chiefly ecnneeted with the Jo'nt Stock Bank
Market.

In the English Stock Market to-day a moderate
/11110I1nt of business has been transacted,
and although shortly after the commence-
ment of business a little flatness became ap-
Parent, the quotations are now steady at
their
former position. There is no new filature,
but the general tendency seems favourable. Con-
sols have been 95g for money, and 954- a for ac-

There has been a very limited business transacted
