ONEY MARKET

AIN D

00111YIER.CTAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoox.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was less animation, and prices of all descriptions
were without any material alt,q'aqon. The sales
Were estimated at 5,000 bales, 500 of which were
taken by the exporters. The Railway Share
Market clorei firmly, and quotations improved.
Business in most departments continuesverydull,
and although it is improving, every now and then
there is a lull, which seems to produce a feeling of
depression. The commercial community, however,
rauht 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-
!Rimed in proportion to the amelioration in the
caL'ef markets of export ; and although symptoms
of reco7ery 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
our home trade, and a moderate interchange of
commodities with the United States and the East.
The letters received from the manufacturing dis-
tricts are favourable, although there is yet plenty
of room for improvement, but the operatives are
better 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
transmission to India :
"A general want of animation since our last has per-
vaded most branches of business, and although the de-
Linand for home consumption progresses steadily, stocks
bare in many instances accumulated to such an extent
that prices (with few exceptions) again exhibit a down-
bard tendency. The abundance of money fails to
stimulate speculation, and the heavy supplies of produce
at many of the European Ports render the export trade
far 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-
counts from the manufacturing districts seem on the
'whole satisfactory, although the shipping orders are by
no 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
of 15 per cent. on the Indian Loan is unimportant.
This, however, arises from the fact that many of the
licripholders paid iu advance. The terms of dis-
count are unaltered. A decided improvement took
Vac() yesterday on the Paris Bourse. It is expected
that the Government will adopt some measures for
the relief of the Bourse. Several large purchases
Of stock were effected yesterday, which caused an
appearance of buoyancy.
~,Very little change is apparent in the English
'Look Market to-day, but there is less buoyancy,
and a fractional decline has taken place, compared
With_the highest prices current yesterday. A few
Bales have been effected, and as business is very in-
a4tive, these have produced a little temporary weak-
