ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

---

CITY, Two o'Ceocu.
Accounts from Liverpool state that the Coqou
Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices of
Americans advanced, but all other descriptions
were unchanged. The sales were estimated at
6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken on specula-.
tion. The Railway Share Market closed actively,
at a slight advance in prices.
During the present week there has been rather
less animation in the colonial produce markets, and
speculation is now conducted with more caution.
Although prices are generally supported, a decline
is in some instances apparent. The public sales of
sugar, for which article there has lately
,
"eeo such an active demand, have not been
numerous, and a portion of the supply offered
tas been withdrawn. Besides this a decline of 61,
and, for particular kinds, of ls. per cwt. has re-
sulted. Coffee has been firm, and a good inquiry
e2sxi.s:o s
tsfor. home consumption. Cocoa has advanced
per cwt. ; and rice is quoted at previous
rates. The business transacted in nun is limited.
Saltpetre is dearer ; and cochineal is at a slight de-
cline. Spices are quiet and steady. Tea is dull ; and
tallow rather cheaper. At the public sales of indigo
there is
no improvement upon the opening prices.
Behgal qualitie,i, newly imported, have been dis-
posed of at a decline of 4d. to 61 per lb., and old
goods 6d. to 9d. per lb. Colonial wool in public
auction is in rather better request, and the quota-
tions realised are firmer.
States The steamer Fult n has arrived from the United
with 111,090 cols. in specie. The remit-
tance by the Ellenborough, from Sydney, is 30,000
sovereigns.
According to the telegraphic message from Alex-
andria, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, the
"changes in India show further indications of im-
provement. This will, no doubt, tend still further
to depress the silver market, where a decline has
already occurred. The bars by the last Mexican
steamer were sold yesterday at 54. 10. per ounce
standard, or id. per ounce lower than the previOns
supply.
The Bank of France return for the month end-
-I.llg yesterday is not satisfactory, although perhaps
(Nita as favourable as cou'd have been expected.
The stock of bullion is smaller, while the loans and
discounts have increased. The statement contains
feature of interest, and it is presumed the next
one will - rxhibit an improvement, the Money
Market at Paris being now rather easier.
In Loinhard-ritraet and at the Bank there is a
good demand for money at full quetations.
On the Stock Exc ,ante the demand for money
has been extremely active, sod the supply being
Small, loans have been obtained with difficulty. As
much as 8 and 10 per cent, is paid for the accorn-
Modation.
The Market for Public Securities is quieter to•
day, and the advance has Lot made further pra-
gress. At the same time the tone of the market is
g_ ood, and the expectation of easier money,
arid the opera ions for a rise, buoy up
Arises. There is a good demand' for money
;tit. the " House," and the high terms that are
(I'll Paid for loans have a weakening influence.
Consols have been 94 to 941 for money, alai. 94#
