CITY, Two o'CLocx.
Letters from Liverpool mention tha' the Cotton

Uarket yesterday closed firmly, but quietly, and
Prices were withcut any material alteration. The
salei were estimated at 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which
were taken by the exporter'. The Railway Share

all the lending stocks have advanced.

to-day, and it provides that the sum payable by

seconded the motion. The Chairman having sig-
nified that the motion had been several times dis-
Posed of at previous courts, the subject was nega-
Cved. The court then adjourned.
Gold at the present moment is 1-10th per cent.
dearer both at Paris and Hamburg than in
London. _ _

The market for English Stocks is still remarkably
dull; the speculators being undecided in what
direction to proceed. The quotations are
about the same as those current yesterday,
and may, therefore, be considered very 'firm.
Many of the dealers and others are away,
the attractions at Sydenham and the fine-
nen of the weather having thinned the attendance.

and • 931 for the opening. The New Three per

but •the quotations remain without any change of
inapnrtance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are about 95f
22, but wry few transactions have taken place.
