CITY, Two o'CLocR.

Accounts from Liverpool meutiion that the Cot-
ton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices
of all descriptions were unchanged. The sales
amounted to 10,000- The Railway Share
Market closed with a very quiet appearance, and
Prices were at a slight decline. . .

An improved business is now being transacted in
the textile manufacturing districts of the North of
England, notwithstanding the inactive markets in
Australia and India. During last week, a pod
demand f,r most descriptions of goods was ex-
parieucedin Matichestcr, Leeds, L .ic?ster, Not Aug-
ham, Halifax and Bradford, and the minufactureis
seem confident of a further improvement-, despite
the hig'i prie.,s of cotton and wool.
Owing to the preparations iu progress for Friday
neat the-4th of the month, when as usual a largo
. Mass of commercial bills become due, the dem and for
Money is increasing but althouAh the full rate of
per cent. is now exacted except for the very
bast descriptions of paper, there is an absence of
Pressure, the supply of available capital still being
very large. The terms allowed by the Joint
Stock establishment for deposits on c All
prevent any scarcity, and this, except at
Periods when large payments have to be made, the
bill brokers are very glad to transact business a
fractioh below the Bank rate. During the last few
days the settlements at the Stock Exchange have
augmented the inquiry, but owing to the recent
investments of the public and the numerous divi-
dends in course of distribution, loans are nego-
ciable at 4i to 5&- per cent. on Government
Securities. The last Bank return is generally
considered to present most encouraging features,
aud the advices from Australia lead to the impres-
sion that the influx of gold from that colony is
likely to be. fully maintained. Several vessels with
large remittances of gold are now on the way, in-
cluding, the Norfolk, the Red Jacket, the True
Briton, the Anglo-Saxon, and the Montmorency,
and some of these must nAr be near at hand,
having left Victoria early in July. 'The Indus
on Friday next is not expected to take out more
than 70,0001., and notwithstanding the Eastern
exchanges appear firm, the- market for silver is
very flat. If this drain undergoes any permanent
diminution, the extensive imports from America
and Australia will cause a steady accumulation of
tile precious metals .in Threadoee lle-street, pro
7ided no new demand for gold is created.
On Saturday about 8,0001. in' gold was sold to
the Bank of England.
, Last week the imports of gold and silver amounted
to about 1,006,8111., and the exports to 250,1671.
The advices from New York report increased
runless in the exchange on London, and we may
therefore calculate upon a continuance of specie
shipments from that side. Speculative securities
al -the latest date were rather depressed.
About 310,000/. has been received by the steamer
La Plata.

At the half-yearly meeting of the British Tele-
graph Company to-day a dividend (after paying the
Preference holders) at the rata of 4 per cent. per
annum was declared upon the capital of 231,0801.
The accounts of the two companies showed a joint
Profit of 15,3121. The report was adopted. -
There is a buoyant market for Public Securities,
Sad Symptoms of recovery after the recent decline
are now apparent. The transactions to-day have
ziot bean very large, but in addition to a few pur-
chases by the Bears, who have become timid,
the public have continued their investments.
The Indian news having been fully digested, now
fails to exert so important an influence, and some
are inclined to form sanguine expectations from the
events recorded by the Overland Mal. The fur-
ther decline in the price of wheat this morning,
viz., about 3s. per quarter, also tends to strengthen
the market. Consols have bean 90a for m3ney
and 901 i for account. They are now 90i a. and
9°U respectively, while for the Oct. account the
Price is about 91 to 908. The New Three per Cents.
