OOMMERCTAL INVELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'Ceocx.
Ii the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was less animation, and prices of all descriptions
Were without any material alteration. The sales
Were estimated at 5,000 bales, 500 of which were
Market
by the exporters. The Railway Share
JUarket closed firmly, and quotations improved.
Business in most departments continuesverydull,
and although it is improving, every now and than
there is a lull, which seems to produce a feeling of
depressicn. The commercial community, however,
ranst be prepared for continued quietude, at least
for this year-a sudden return of activity, after the
events of last autumn, being altogether improbable.
The foreign trade of the country will only be re-
Iraed in proportion to the amelioration in the
chief markets of export ; and although symptoms
of recovery are reported in America and
India, the movement must necessarily be
very gradual. Several months must elapse
before the Australian markets will be in a condi-
tion to receive any considerable supplies of mer-
chandise, and we must therefore be satisfied with
'nu' home trade, and a moderate interchange of
The
with the United States and the East.
its letters received from the manufacturing dis-
tricts are favourable, although there is yet plenty
of room for improvement, but the operatives are
hotter employed, and the millowners are looking
forward to the future with greater confidence.
The following is an extract from a circular pre-
Pared by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co. for
trartamission to India :--
"A general want of animation since our last has per-
Vaded most branches of business, and although the de-
for home consumption progresses steadily, stocks
bane in many instances accumulated to such an extent
that prices (with few exceptions) again exhibit a down-
*artli tendency. The abundance of money fails to
ILitnrilate speculation, and the heavy supplies of produce
,St many of the European Ports render the export trade
'at less buoyant than usual at this period. The partial
revival of confidence noticed on the 10th ultimo, has
received a serious -check from the above causes. Ac-
%tufts from the manufacturing districts seem on the
*hole satisfactory, although the shipping orders are by
means so extensive as were anticipated."
There is only a moderate demand for money, and
the effect of the payment to-day of the instalment
`)f 15 per cent. on the Indian Loan is unimportant.
Cill% however, arises from the fact that many of the
tiPholders paid in advance. The terms of clis-
ecnnt are unaltered. A decided improvement took
Vacs yesterday on the Paris Bourse, It is expected
the
the Government will adopt acme measures for
ue relief of the Bourse. Several large purchases
°! Stock were effected yesterday, which caused an
appearance of buoyancy.
S cry little change is apparent in the English
sad Market to-day, but there is loss buoyancy,
"Ild a fractional decline has taken place, compared
eith the highest prices current yesterday. A few
es have been effected, and as business is very in-
aetive, these have produced a little temporary weak-
Lleae. Consols have been at 95i 90 ex div. for account.
