MONEY MARKET

AND
COMIVIETICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

..._

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.
Accounts from Liverpool mention that the
otton Market yesterday presented a very heavy
appearance, and prices of all descriptions were un-
altered. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales,
1)000 of which were taken by the speculators. The
rtailway Share Market closed quietly, and the quo-
tations slightly declined.
A. The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion for the four months, ending the 30th April,
the
been published. From these it appears that
'hue total declared value of the exports from the
United Kingdom for the above period was
32)861,7231. against 38,813,337/. in the like period
011857, being a decrease of 5,851,6141. The de-
crease is perceptible in coals and culm, cotton
manufactures, earthenware, haberdashery and
Millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manu-
factures, linen yarn, silk manufactures, thrown
auk, British spirits, sugar, sheep and lambs' wool,
Woollen manufactures, and woollen and worsted
Yarn,

The importation of the principal article 3 were
cloves,
larger in respect to coffee, corn, flour, guano, rice,
pepper, and unrefined sugar ; but there is a
decrease in live animals, cocoa, raw cotton, dyeing
stuffs, flax, fruit, provisions, raw silk, tallow, tea,
tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool.
The shipping accounts exhibit a slight increase in
the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign
trade of the United Kingdom for the four months
as regards the entries inwards, but there is a de-
crease in the clearances outwards.

In the coasting trade for the same period, com-
pared with that of the previous year, there is a de-
crease in the tonnage both in entries inwards and
clearances outwards.
Small amounts of gold continue to flow into the
Bank of. England, which together with the sluggish
demand for money, and increasing resources of the
national establishment have revived the discussion
With respect to the possibility of a reduction in the
cMcial terms of discount. The expectation of such
4 measure, however, is far from being general, not-
Withstanding the accumulation of notes and gold.
he current terms for accommodation range as low
As 21 per cent., but the average quotation is 21 per
Cent.

From the report issued by the Trust and Loan
Company of Upper Canada, it appears that the
directors will be prepared to declare a dividend at
the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, and to increase
the reserve fund to 16,5531. 2s.
The annual general meeting of the Oriental Gas
eempany took place to-day ; Captain James
13arber presiding. The report stated that gas
hgliting was at last introduced in Calcutta, where
55 lamps were established in the principal streets,
and had excited the wonder of the natives, who
continually resorted there. It was most painful
to the directors to report that their engineers had
been all carried off by cholera, but subsequent ar-
rangements had been made for extending the ad-
I'Matages of gas, which had progressed in spite of
the mutiny. The sum spent hitherto had been
Ilbout 71,0001., and the remainder had been judi-
ti°llBlyinvested at a high interest.; so that the bene-
iscould be given to the shareholders in the shape
°f a dividend on tl.e registered shares. This was
fired at 4. per cent. per annum, and was agreed to,
when the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks
Was passed to the directors.
In the market for Public Securities to-day there.
has not been much variation, the speculators being
linw deterred from active dealing through the
Proximity of settling day. The Other departments
Of the "House" are equally quiet, and the brokers
complain of the general indisposition now evinced
to enter into operAions. At the same time, it must
ba remarked that the Funds, if they appear dull,
are nevertheless very firm, the daily fluctuation
rarely exceeding / per cent. Consols for transfer
