4io NEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
4arket yesterday closed with a very quiet appear-
14ce, and prices of all descriptions were without any
haterial alteration. The sales were estimated at
)000 bales, 500 of which were taken on specula-
tion. The Railway Share Market closed dull, but
Prices were steady.
For a week past the failure of Messrs. Taylor and
as a consequence of the stoppage of Messrs.
Ilirrison and Wats:m's Bank, has been spoken of
tlinanainent, but it was announced yesterday after-
loon that the suspension had actually taken place.
ht present nothing has been ascertsined with regard
o assets or liabilities. The more favourable ad-
'lces received yesterday from America have pro-
laced increased confidence among the inanufac-
ttlring interests, and several failures, which were
xpected to follow those reported in New York, will,
is now thought, be averted.
A small quantity of gold, viz., 8,0001., was taken
.ttato the Bank yesterday, and it is believed that
313:te of the Australian supplies just announced will
similarly appropriated, but the greater portion
5f the remittances by the True Briton has already
4aen purchased for the Continent.
The advices received from India have formed the
leading topic of couversAion in city circles since
their arrival, and judging from the tenor of the
larious opinions expre,sed they would appear to
gave given general satisfaction, because it is evident
that the rebels have been unsuccessful in most of
their movements. The commercial intelligence
i 3 also rather favourable, the Banks having
towered their rate of intaree, and most of the
Principal import markets are reported to have
khibited signs of improvement. Tile exchanges
,41 the whole are rather more encouraging,
both in India and China, and it is, con-
leguently, presumed that our monthly exports of
qlecie will be still further diminished. The last
two or three steamers have conveyed a smaller
bantity than for some time previously, and every
variation in the exchanges of a satisfactory cha-
racter tends to create confidence in the future specie
tlovements. The arrivals from Australia continue
large ; and, although the remittances from New
pork are restricted to a very insignificant total, the
aggregate imports of gold and silver are, still in
egress of the shipments to the East and elsewhere.
In the discount market there is no abatement of
11Itessure, the demand on commercial account still
being exceedingly active. Provision is being made
, t°C the 4th proximo, when a heavy amount of mer-
arltile bills becames due. The arrangements con-
4ected with the specie remittances at the same
Period, and the liquidation of the half-monthly ac-
t°unt in stocks and shares, also augment the gene-
-41 inquiry.
The reaction of II per cent. which occurred iu the
Paris
Bourse yesterday is ascribed to the decline
are, and some realisation of profits after the recent

It has been announced that the dividend on the
Great Western of Canada Railmay shares will be at
the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.
The English Sock Market partially has re-
tained the decline which took place yesterday, since
4 More favoura,l.sle construction is now put upon
the
advices from the East, and some of those
I°llo sold upon the arrival of the intelli-
!ence have re-purchased. This has strengthened
tone of the market, and as there is some de-
bland for stock on behalf of the public, the ten-
dency is upwards, but an attempt, which appears
kecessful, is made on the part of the dealers to
Money
a decided movement in that direction.

The arrangements connected with the settlement lig
of the half-monthly account in the Railway Share
iarket have occupied the chief attention of the
dealers and speculators this morning, asd the trans-
actions in most instances have bad refevence to that
event. Prices generally show a slight improvement.

Midland, North-Eastern, York and North-Western
have advanced about 10s., and North-Eastern Ber-
wick 11., Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln declined
63. North British and South-Eastern 10s., Chester
and Holyhead, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee,
and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton were

declined about ss. In the Colonial market prices
Were rather firmer. East Indian improved 10s.
Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Western of Canada,
Geelong and Melbourne, and Great Indian Penin-
sular were a shade higher.
Joint Stock Bank and. Miscellaneous Shares are
Much neglected, and there is no change to report
in prices.
