MONEY vi A A.ir"l'

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday mani-
fested a heavy appearance, and prices of most
kinds were rather lower. The sales were estimated
at 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the ex-
porters. The Railway Share Market closed quietly,
and prices were a shade lower.
During the past week the business t-ans acted in
Foreign and Colonial produce, although rather
quiet, has been quite as extensive as could have
been expected, considering the tightness of the
money market and the general disposition to con-
fine operations within a narrow compass. The
quotations also have been well nieintlined, al-
though in one or two instances a slight decline may
be reported. For su.zar there has been a good in-
quiry, and a large business has been done among
the refiners. West India descriptions have also
realised previous values. Coffee, on the con-
trary, has ruled dull, and Plantation Ceylon
early in the week declined is. to 2s. per cwt., ~nd
Peaberry 4s. to ss. per cwt. The inquiry for
Cocoa has not been active, add common grey kinds
are ls. to 2s. per cwt. cheaper. Tea is quiet, and
Common Conon realises about is. to is. Old per
lb. Rice has receded 31 per cwt. Saltpetre is
firmer, and also cochineal. In spices there have
been a few operations at about late rates. Pimento
is rather dearer, and cloves are s-eady. The Tal-
low Market has remained dull.
A meeting of the Treleigh Consolidated Mining
Company was held to-day, to confirm the resolution
of the former meeting for the dissolution of the
Company, And the dieposal of its assets for the bene-
fit of the shareholders.

The Golden Fleece leaves for the Brazils to-day
With 83,0001., chiefly in sovereigns, for the Bank
of Rio. This withdrawal became known on the
Stock Exchange yesterday, and produced some
uneasiness, and also caused a slight degree of heavi-
ness in the Consol Marker.

There is more activity to-day in the Money
Market, and full rates are charged for the negotia-
tion of commercial bills. No pressure 13 yet
complained of, but there are symptoms of return-

nig stringency, and as the period approaches
when the settlements in Consols, Foreign Socks,
and Railway Shares takes place, the demand in
Lombard-street and at the national establishment
Will in all probability become somewhat excessive.
At present the general appearance of the mar-
ket is quiet, but owing to the limited supply
or the eagerness of capitalists and others to
make the most of any emergency, and
exact as high terms as possible, it requires
a very limited extra demand to render it extremely
tight. About 195,4481. in Australian gold has just
been announced from the antipodes, and the
64* is very opportune, since it will avert the
necessity of drawing the requisite means from the
Bank to pay for whatever silver may be wanted
for exportation to the East on the 4th proximo. It
is not expected that any of this 'remittance will
be sold to the Bank, but immediately ab-
Sorbed for the Continent. A very favourable
Bank return is expected in this evening's Gazette,
°wing to the large influx of gold during the week
Over which it will extend. Besides an addition of
upwards of half a million in the bullion, it is
thought that the other securities and the reserve of
notes, will each exhibit a marked improvement.
A dull and rather heavy market exists for the
_English Funds, owing to the increased demand for
loans and discounts. A few speculative sales hay
been made, and the market is be, ter supplied with
money stock.
Beyond a decline of about *_per
cent., there is
no alteration to record. Consols
have been 93 to 93i for money, and 93* sellers for
the account. The Long Annuities are 2 7-16, and
the 30 Years' Annuities 17 15-16 18. Bank Stock
513 to 215. The March Exchequer Bills (under
..201.) are 2s. discount, and the June ditto 4s. to
28 discount, being flatter. The Bonds are 98a,
and India ditto 3s. discount.
