COMMERCIAL INTMLIGE?:TOF.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed quietly, and last week's
prices were fully maintained. The sales amounted
to 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the
exporters, and 1,000 by the speculators. The Rail-
Way Share Market closed with an active appear-
ance,• and with a slight advance in prices.
kik The Vimeira has arrived . from New South
Wales, with advices to the 25th January. She
is not supposed to have any gold on board.
Several vessels are now due from Australia, and
as they convey a large supply 'of gold, their
appearance is awaited with some anxiety.
Although the shipments of • silver on the 4th
by the steamer to India and Chiva are not
expected to prove •so large as of• late. The will
probably exceed half a million sterling. Even if
the comparative. reduction is limited, however, it
is encouraging, as this movement of the precious
lnetals is one of the chief causes at present affect-
ing the money market. The demand for silver is
not very active, but moderate receipts are still an-
nounced from the Continent, about 25,0001. having
arrived yesterday.

The Directors of , the Bank of England, as was
fully anticipated, have not imposed any addi-
tional reshictions, and their deliberations at the
Weekly court to-day were not protracted. Dur-
ing the next few days the money market will
no doubt remain in a very stagnant state, owing
to the preparations for the 4th proximo, and the
settlements in the
.Stock Exchange. To-day there
is a full inquiry in all departments. Out of
doors high rates are charged for discounts, and in
tile "Howe" 7 to .8 per cent. has to be paid for
loans on Government Stock.

A failure has been declared on the Stock Ex-
change this morning. The party in question has
lbataiued heavy losses in French shares, Turkish
.stock, and similar fluctuating securities. His lia-
bilities have not yet been ascertained.

There has been no movement of importance in
the English Stock Market to-day, but.business is
very dull, and thee-quotatiorm remain heavy. Since
the Bank meeting. separated the market bas been a
shade firmer, but as the arrangement of the Foreign
Mock and Railway Share . accounts is now in
Progress speculation is exceedingly quiet. Con-
sols have been 92 / for money, 92/ for
the 7th proximo, and 93i g for June. The New
