` COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was
!tea* at previous. prices. The sales amounted to
19,000. bales, 5,000 of which were taken for export
,and- en. speeulation. In the Railway Share Market
"11sUless was rather firmer, at a alight improvement
14 the current quotations. Accounts from Man•
chaster, in reference to trade, state that the Ger-
-311411 and Russian houses had been increasing their
Purchases of yard andtwist, and for India also an im-
Proved inquiry existed in worsted an d woollen goods.
At Leicester. business was extremely dull, partly
"jug to the high prices of wool. At Lee is the
preparations for the spring trade are imparting
,Some activity to the market, and the shipping
houses have already received largo orders for sum-
raer goods. The lace trade of Nottingham has
rather improved, but in other branches of business
there is no alteration to report.

From the circular prepared by Messrs. H. W.
Jewesbury and Co. for traustniision abroad, we
take the following :

"The Foreign and Colonial produce markets, during
the past month, have been very steady, and a large
Laciness has been done at higher prices for most articles
of consumption. Sugar, tea, and saltpetre, are all
again dearer. The arrivals have been moderato, yet the
Markets have been well supplied. The deliveries have
continued very satisfactorily both for home use and ex-
Port. Dyes and dyeing materials have bet nin fair re-
red. Cochineal and Safflower have both become dearer.
1:13e good qualities of Lac dye have been in fair request,
but the lower sorts still remain neglected. The stocks
of many of the principal articles of consumption show a
decrease as compared with last year. From the conti-
nental produce markets we learn that a good business
rte doing both in coffee and sugar at very firm rates.
From the cotton manufacturing districts the accounts
,ate, trade generally was very dull, and prices had a
;wc*ard tendency. From the woollen districts the
I.'ll°llB are more satisfactory, a very large business
bas been transacted at higher rates, and stocks getting
Very
Up to the present time only about 60,0001. of the
°t)000/, and upwards of gold received by the
feather Bell, Centurion, and Morning Light, has
been sold to the Bank of England, and although a
further small parcel may be delivered to-
day, there is every probability of the re-
Mainder being remitted to the Continent. For-
tunately it is known that large supplies will
843011 be received by the Admiral, the Blackwall, and
two or three ether vessels, which are now en route,
,and nearly due, otherwise a recurrence of the
'rain might be predicted. As iot is the move-
blent will no doubt continue to excite
attention, because the Bank of France
is believed to be increasing its metallic supplies by
purchases in the London market.
The inquiry for capital in Lombard-street and at
me Bank of England is rather quieter, but the ap-
plications for discounts' are still very numerous,
sad the Ilank's rate is fully maintained.
The market for English Securities again shows
;!nlptonis of improvement, owing to some specu-
lative Purchases. Various causes can be assigned
for this increased firmness, among the most promi-
nent of which are the probability of some alteration
ill, the income tax, and the fact that a part
fit)l the.gold from Australia has gone into the Bank.
