COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yes+erday manifeJted a heavy 'appearance,
and prices of most descriptions were without alte-
ration. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales.
The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and
quotations were fully suppo►ted.
The advices from Australia represent the import
trade at Melbourne as being exceedingly inactive.
Stocks were increasing, while consumption and
emigration were being reduced. It is stated that
the export of gold was still smaller than it was in
the previous year, but an improvement is confi-
dently expected, especially as machinery is being
extensively applied at the various gold mines.
The vessels that are coming forward from the

colony include the Indemnity, with 11,130 ozs. ;
the Red Jacket, with 40,234 ozs. ; the Maidstone,
with 20,682 ozs. ; the Norfolk, with 82,570 ozs. ;
and the Royal Charter, with 93,733 czs.
A large withdrawal of gold from the Bank of
England, viz., 150,0001., took place yesterday. It
was intended for the Continent, and as there is
now an improved demand for silver further remit-
tances are expected. This movement, together
with the increased demand for discount accommo-
dation, has rendered the present position of mone-
tary affairs rather has favourable, but as a consi-

derable amount of specie is en route from Australia
there is no reason to apprehend any serious falling

off in the Bank's stock of bullion.

The general enquiry for discount accommoda-
tion in Lombard Street, as well as at the Bank of
England, is decidedly more active, and at the
Scotch Exchange loans cannot now be obtained
under 2 per cent.
The result of the poll, in respect to the late

meeting of the North of Europe Steam Navigation

Company was made known today, and was as fol.
lows :—for original motion 1,622 votes ; for the
amendment 15 ; being a majority :of 1,607 votes
for the adoption of the report of the directors.
There is a ♦ery heavy market for Public Securi-
ties, and the tendency is decidedly unfavourable.
It is alleged that there is a large Bill account open,
and the closing of engagements exerts an ad-
verse influence upon value. Some proba-
biilty exists of a few embarrassments among
the speculators, the losses in several cases
having been large. The general public still keep
aloof, being unwilling to embark in any hazardous
enterprise, notwithstanding the facilities afforded
in the money market, and the low prices of
several eligible investments. Consols have been

MARKET NEVVb.—(rtus Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that a very limited supply of English
wheat was on sale here to-day, the demand for all kinds
ruled heavy, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty
supported.
There was a large show of foreign wheat. Importers
generally were sellers at further depressed rates, but
scarcely any buyers were in the market. Prices therefore
ruled nominal.
Barley and malt were dull, at barely late rates.
Oats, the supply of which was good, sold slowly, yet
prices were well supported.
Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, but we have no
change to notice in their value.
