COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK
iAccounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
'aliet yesterday closed heavily, but prices were
Illialtered. The sales were estimated at 5,000
bales, The rail Way Share Market closed with a
ti
appearance, and the values of all the leading
tech have declined.
The Foreign and Colonial Pt oduce Markets since
Ttir list report have exhib
aited rather more activity.
ea is at full rates, and large business' has been
ti
in the better qualities ; about 33,000 packages
be sold at public sale to-morrow when high
rates are expected to be realised. Sugar has been
abetter request and fully late rates are supported
f
the better grocery descriptions, low refining
til,ealities were in demand, and realised a slight ad-
-1 )110e. Coffee has been quiet, but no change can
noted on quotations. For rice there was amo •
,crate inquiry, and notwithstanding the decline of
'B' to 43. in Mark Lane, priceshave in most instances
den fully supported. The demand for rum has
b'ell active, and a large business has been transacted
j
t!1 'cliaerara and Leewards at fully former quota-
:4ll. There was an active inquiry for saltpetre,
tilclPfices have advanced about' is. per cwt., and
I,ilcv has been firmer, P. Y. C. having realised 595.
``. for present delivery, and 58s. 3s. to 58s. 6d. for
three months-.
The condition of some of the money markets
„ "'read is becoming very unsatisfactory, and the.
5,r513 of discount in two or three of the principal
:Iles of the continent are already much above the
l'erage. In Holland, where 4 per cent, is consi-
e4ed a high quotation, money is now worth 5 per
:".) and at Hamburg and Berlin an advance to
there
cent. has just been notified. In Vienna, also,
is more stringency, and it is feared that most
°,
,t 11,3 German Banks will be compelled to impose
4'
gclitional restrictions. In France diamint accom-
modation is still very dear, but the-tendency, as
4r as can be judged from the recent ,advices, is
set unfavourable, and trade is improving. But
the bank of France is still buying gold, and if
these;., operations should become more extensive
'creased pressure may be anticipated here. A large
il°ttion of the recent Australian supplies have
beent absorbed, and should the movement continue
eussions will soon be heard as to the prospect
01;
the MilliMUM being raised to 6 per cent.
The immediate demand for discounts is exceed-
glY active, and, although the supply is consider-
d 1° owing to the high rates of interest offered for
epoeits " on call," the full charge of 5& per cent.

Li RAILWAY ACOIDENT.—A. correspOndent informs us
at yesterday morning the 26 minutes past 9 o'clOck
'atrain from Putney was run into by another train at the
‘lcket-platform over Westcainster.bridge-road. Several
Passengers were much shaken. Hid it not been that the
lagineer ot the train in motion tbe cansequences might
a're been terrific. Our correspondent says that he was
Inoue of the rarria,gee and had a very severe blow on
the face. The accident, according to our correspondent,
most have originated either from. the train being on the
Wrung line of rails, or because the signal was not on, or
ag neblected by the engineer.
IMPORTANT TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS.— In the
14seabed% County Court, yesterday, an action was
brought.L.,.. by a lodging-house keeper at Brixton, named
gughea, to recover the amount of a iortnight's rent and
8. dinner provided for the defendant, an officer in tie
4.14 India Company's service, named Iftwrance. It
aPPeated that the defendant had taken apartments at
the plaintiff's house, and ordered a dinnerto be provided,
but afterwards wrote a letter declining the apartments.
4t.veas pleaded by the solicitor for the defendant (Mr.
, 'dY) that the plaintiff was precluded by the Statute
of 'Frauds from recovering the rent under the circutu-
stences. His Honour said the Statute of Frauds was
the cause of more frauds being perpetrated than it had
ever prevented, and gave a verdict for the amount of the
dinner only.
