The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
With animation, and prices of all descriptions were
fully id. per lb , and Gs-sed Egyptian Id. pir lb.
dearer. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales,
2,000 of which were taken fer export and on spe-
culation. Th Railway Share Market was verb flat,
and closed at its worst point.
The Foreign and. Co'onial Produce Markets this
Week have again exhibited a rather dull appear-
ance, and t'le quotations have in some cases fur-
ther tended de sinwards. For sugar the demand is
and prices have rece led ls. to 2e. per cwt.
1 tiring the last two days, however, there has been
rather more inviry, which has produced increased
ful-Mess. In coffee the transactions have been
very BEI4I, and yesterday there was an entire
absence
of public sales. Holders, however, are
oilwilling to accept lower rates, and the market is
thus supported. Tei has been in fair request, and
°°llllnon Congou was maintained at ls. 2d. per Ile.
A fair enquiry has prevailed for Jamaica and
Demerara Rum at steady quotations. Cocoa has
;advanced ls. to 2s. per cwt., and Rice continu-s
;110.1eieetive. There is no particular alteration to
in Spices. Saltpetre remains firm, and
rather tends upwards. The public sales
ofColinial Wool have been well attended,
the bidding, by both home and foreign
,Purchasers, have been active. The demand
'or the finer qualities is brisk, and the rates
realised at the commencement being Icl. to leld.
Per lb. advance on the previous sales, closing prices
have
fully supported. The public sales of indigo
'ave also been brought to a termination, and dur-
ing their progress full prices have been realised for
all qualities. Bengals and Kurpahs advanced from
3d• to 9J. per lb , and other descriptions 4d. to 6d.
Of the quantity brought for ward, viz., 13,132 chests,
it is estimated that 1,933 chests have been bought
il3) 5,186 withdrawn, and 6,013 sold, to t<hichmust
133 adder' about 1,000 chests of previously bought-
in I°ta) making the total chests sold about 7,000,
of which 4,500 were for export, and 2,500 for home
Consumption.

bill, for an amernle I act to extend the operations
of the co espaily, regulate the capital, and oat, r pur-

The demand for money in discount circles is
stated to be rather more active ; but, with this ex-
ception, the market remains comparatively steady,
aad a lower rate than 5i per cent. is considered
T_Plebable in the course of a few weeks.
jtl-ge supplies of Australian gold are
coming forward, which are likely to cause a
thetarial augmentation in the stock of bullion at
Bank of Eng land, and as at present there are
