MONEY MARKET

AND
LCOMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocit.
The Liverpool Cotton Market closed rather
schvely, and prices of all kinds were well sup-
rtaci. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales,
I>ooo of which were taken by the exporters. The
4411 Way Share Market closed with more animation,
414 prices of all the leading stocks have :slightly
advanced.

further arrival of specie was announced yes-
terday afternoon, and. the tital amount received
'within the last two or three days has approached. a
million sterling. This important and timely influx
has neutralised the unsatisfactory f€eling which
1:,°111(1 otherwise have been experienced. on account
the large shipment of silver specified below, and
'1
there is now some expectation that a moderate
Ir°Plrtion of the supplies which are still
vverdue will be sold, and added to the stock
iof bullion in the Bank of England. At a
14t, hour yesterday afternoon it was reported that
the Morning Star was off Bristol, with 46,500
ounce
s, valued. at 186,0001., and this morning we
lu:e advised of the Sydenham, off Penzance, with
41,462 ounces, or say 125,8481. Besides these
Other vessels are daily expected, and as the silver
brought by the Parana will almost be sufficient
for the next Indian mail on the 20th inst., pur-
ac.l,"-sei of that metal on the Continent will for a
time diminish, The market for silver remains in a
41%1 state, and the price of bars is still nominally
6 _ lid. to 62d. per ounce, but as usual immediately
Ifter the completion of the shipments by the bi-
blonthly steamers, business has become dull.
Subjoined are the particulars of the specie on

The was scarcely any alteration in the Continen-
tal
exchanges yesterday afternoon, but rather less
lirm—uess was apparent.
411 important failure has been announced of a
:',"se at Manchester, connected with the trade of
"84 city. It is that of Mr. William Macintosh,
tad his liabilities, it is feared, are very heavy.
"reml of the principal London firms will be
lerere losers through this unfortunate event.
An active demand prevails for money, and at
the Present moment there is considerable pressure,
oliring to the provision made for to-morrow, the
A,
of the month.
steam meeting of the Peninsular and Oriental
leaul Navigation Co. was held this day, and passed
°g satisfactorily. The report states that the profits
: the company would enable the directors to allow
Per cent. as interest for the half-year, besides
3. bonus per 501. share, and 3s. per 10/. share.
.44° report was adopted.
411 important meeting of railway proprietors was
,
this day at the London Tavern—W. Vance,
4c1.) in the chair—to agree upon a memorial to be
Presented to the Right Hon. Robert Lowe, M.P.,
oreident of the Board of Trade, for the purpose
inducing the Government to afford every en-
couragement to railway companies to stop further
l °llcessions for branches, &c., seeing that they as a
ijudY have subscribed an amount equal to upwards
of a third of the National Debt, and that the
riblie are saved 40,000,0001. a year by travelling
railway 13 over the common roads. The memorial
was unanimously agreed to.
be market for Public Securities is rather
h I:e"3r, and no improvement has been caused by
the arrivals of gold, or the determination of the
13 411 k to accommodate holders of stock while
the
transfer books are closed. The fact is,
attention is too much absorbed by the pre-
alulinary arrangements for the settlement, and
tbe unfavourable tone of the letters from Paris, f,
with continued weakness in-the Rent ea, deter specu-
lators for a rise. In addition to this there is natu-
rally a good deal of uncertainty regarding the specie
drain and its probable effec's. An exportation of
lever, to the extent of a million and a half sterling 'lB
Per month, is a serious matter, but with large
arrivals of that metal from Mexico and of gold from 12-84
Australia, there is a probability of the present stock 100
of bullion in Threadneedle street being maintained, 100
if, indeed, no increase takes place. If it is found too
that a fair amount of the supplies just received 20
are retained here, increased firmness will 20
no doubt be imparted to stocks. Consols have 20
931 to 94, and 934 to 94 for money ; for to-
20 1.74
