MONEY MARKET

AN
COMAERCTAL INTELLIGENCE

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
market yesterday closed quietly and prices were
unaltered. The sales were estimated at 6,000
bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators,
and 500 by the exporters. The Railway Share
Market manifested a quiet appearance, and quo-
tations were fully maintained.

About 6,5001. in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday, and it is expected that the greater por-
tion of the supply by the Copenhagen will follow
in a few days. Advices were received yesterday of
the arrival at Lisbon of the Medway from the
Brazils en route to England with 410,000/. in specie.
This important consignment will probably
reach Southampton about Saturday, and
the Pera is also approaching our shores
with 17,0001. in specie. These remittances
in addition to those coming forward from
Australia, are likely to cause a further augmenta-
tion of specie in the Bank vaults, for the shipments
to the East have now become so much reduced
that we shall be able to retain nearly the whole of
this imports.

It is expected that the Medway will bring a
remittance for the Buenos Ayrean Bondholders. A
further small amount is required, to place at the
command of Messrs. Baring Brothers, sufficient to
pay the dividends in July next. As soon as
they are in that position even greater confi-
dence will be felt in the sincerity of the
Republic in offering the recent terms for the
settlement of the English debt, although there is
ample time between this and the period when the
interest becomes due for the receipt of the required
amount. We are sorry to hear a doubt expressed
in some quarters respecting a strict adherence to
the conditions of the arrangement, but this most
probably emanates from those who had sold before
the recent improvemeit, and who must feel an-
noyed at having relinquished a security which now
promises to take a high rank among foreign in-
vestments.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
underwent little variation, but the tendency is still
rather upward.

There is a very moderate demand for money to-
day, and the applications in Lombard-street, as
well as at the Bank of England, are stated to be
♦ery limited. The terms, although presenting
rather an upward tendency, still remain very easy,
ranging from 2/ and upwards, according to the
date and quality of the paper offered for negotiation.
The market for English Securities has not un-
dergone any change of importance, but it opened
with rather a fiat appearance, which may appear
strange upon the face of such excellent advices
from Lucknols; but the fact is that they
were fully " discounted." The dulness of prices,
together with the depression of the Paris Bourse,
tends to impart a heavy tone to the various de-
partments of the Stock Exchange. Increased firm-
/ICS% however, is now perceptible, and the fact that
the Government broker bas bought 22,0001. of
itock se7ms to have altered the aspect of the market,
which is rather buoyant. Consols have been quoted

There has been a very limited business transacted
to-day in the Railway Share Market, and with the
exception of two or three of the leading lines a
alight improvement may be noticed in quotations.

and Edinburgh and Glasgow, have advanced about
ss. ; and Brighton about 10s. ; Great Northern
and Great Western have declined 11. ; and North
Western about ss. The Foreign and Colonial under-
takings have been almost neglected, and but little
variation has taken place in ♦alues. Great Luxem-
bourg have advanced ss. ; and Pernambuco, ss.
to 108 ; Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western
of Canada were about former rates.
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shales have
amen quiet, but steady. London Chartered of
Australia have improved 10s. ; Oriental Bank
declined ss. ; Australian Agricultural advanced
11. ; Royal Mail Steam, 10s. ; and Van Diemen's
Land, 10s. to 15s.

(From the Report of the Registrar General,)
The deaths in London exhibit a decrease ; the

18 18 to 1857 the average number of deaths in the
a corresponding with the last week, when it i
we
is
raised for comparison with the deaths of last week
is found to he 1,242.

the result obtained bycalculation. The cases in
which diseases of thefro
