MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed quietly, but firmly, and
prices were fully support.?o. Tim sales were
estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 for export and on
speculation. The Railway Share Market closed
firmly, at full rates.
There is very little activity in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets, and owin; to the
limited demand for the principal articles, including
su;ar and coffee, it is expe&e-I that the public
sales advertised during the week will not be cha-
racterised by much animation. Saltpe!re is firmer,
and tallow has been dealt in at higher quota ions.
The quantity of the latter article shipped from St.
P,tersbura, in 1854, was 10,008 casks ; in 1855,
14,676 ;in 1856, 18,327 casks ; end in 1857,
10,024 casks ; of which 4,000 casks have arrived
already. On the let of August the stocks of sugar
at the principal ports of Europe were as under :-
1857. I'sl. 1855.

There is still a very quiet market for silver
although full prices are current, and the dollars
received by the last West India packet were sold
yesterday at ss. 11d. Until later advices from the
East arrive purchasers will be restricted although
it is expected that upwards of a million sterling
will be shipped by the next steamer. Very few
orders are now being sent to the Continent for sup-
plies, and thus most of the gold by the Swiftsure
has been sold to the Bank. A further sum of
91,0001. was deposited in the vaults yesterday, and
future weekly returns are consequently expected to
show some improvement in the general position of
the institution.
Later advices have been received from California
by the steamer America, which report rather more
favourably upon the state of trade at San Francisco.
It is said that mining is being carried on more
successfully than ever, and the attention of capital-
ists is still being directed to quartz crushing—a
branch of business now more scientifically under-
stood. Money was easy, and the rates charged
for the negociation of commercial bills were very
moderate.
There is a good demand for money in Lombard-
street, and full rates are current.
The market for English Stocks is very much
depressed in consequence of the growing uneasiness
relative to India. No confirmation of the capture
of Delhi having been received, the statement is
now more generally doubted, and rumours of an
intended loan on behalf of the East India Com-
pany assist to increase the feeling of apprehension
regarding the prejudicial influence which this in-
surrection may yet exert upon our financial
affairs. The Bears are consequently embold-
ened to increase their engagements, and the
market droops. Consols have been 89:4- 901 for
money, `and 901 -1 for the account. The New
Three per Cents. are 901 4, the Reduced 90 ,
and Long Annuities 2 7-16. Exchequer Bills are
ss. to ls. discount, the Bonds 98g and India
Bonds under 1,0001. 275. dis.
In the Foreign market the dealings have been
chiefly confined to a few dealings in Turkish 6 per
Cents. which have been weak at 931 941. The 6
per Cents. are 99a _a. Spanish 3 per Cents. are
39g. Brazilian 5 per Cents. 102, and Russian
41 per Cents. 98i.
South Eastern Shares have been heavy in conse-
quence of a decline in the traffic receipts.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5/ ; Mexican,
221 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. 81 82 ; Portuguese
3 per Cents., 44i 453 ; Russian 5 per Cants.,
111 13 ; ditto 4,!-F per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3
per Cents., 30 401 ; ditto Deferred, 25 25/ ; do.
Certificates, 51- 6 ; ditto Passive, 5i 6.
The transactions in the Railway Share Marke

have exhibited a further downward tendency in
prices, most of the leading lines having declined
to 1 per cent. Great Western have receded 11., -
North-Western 155., Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln 58., Midland 55., North-Eastern (Berwick)
L.
1/. 55., North Eastern (Leeds) 55., and South-
. Eastern 15s. Oxford, Wolverhampton, and Wor-
cester improved 55., Great Northern B Stock
ICs., and Eastern Counties 10s. The foreign
and colonial lines are also at lower
rates. Great Luxembourg declined 55., East 1
Indian 10s., Great Western of Canada 10s.,
and Grand Trunk of Canada about 31. The
French lines were at nominal values.
Mining shares ara very quiet. United Mexican
realize 3i, and Tin Croft 4L
Joint Stock Bauk shares are at steady quota-
tions. London and County declined about 10s.,
and Provincial of Ireland about ss.
The Miscellaneous undertakings show no mate-
rial variation from previous values.
