COTIVITIRCTAL INTPLLIC=',-EITO3.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with animation, and prices
of all descriptions were fully id. per lb. dearer.
Good
Egyptian were icl. per lb. higher than last
Week. The sales were 12,000 bales, 1,000 of which
Were taken fur export and 2,000 on speculation.
The Railway Share Market continued very quiet,
and prices were a shade lower.

The advises received from Australia via Alexan-
dria, mention that upwards of a million sterling is
11" en, route to this country, several ve.sels—in-
eltiding the Indomitible, the Swiftsute, the Great
16ritain, the Summer Cloud, the Lightning, and the
Sardinian—having left Victoria during May with
large amounts of gold on board. Our specie sup-
plies are therefore likely to continue on a large
scale. The Simla, Which conveyed this intelligence
to Suez, had 40,0001. on freight. Money in Mel-
bourne was
plentiful at the latest date, but the
receipts of gold, per escor', were smaller than at
the same time last year.
There is no alteration to report in the general
condition of the silver market, but prices appear
very firm. Business, however, is quiet, and
transactions are likely to be very limited until the
arrival of the Overland Mail.

About 12,000/. was withdrawn from the Bank o
England yesterday.
The directors of the North Stafford,hire Railway
Company have issued a report in which a dividend
at the rate of 4 per Cent. is proposed. Aftcr this
distribution there will remain a sum of 3,2431. 6s.
to be carried forward.
Although the money market is certainly improv-
ing, and the Bank of England is presumed to be
gaining strength, it was pot imag:ned that the
Minimum would be reduced to-day ; and when the
directors separated without announcing any altera-
tion, there was consequently no disappointment.
The demand for accommodation is not active, but
the commercial operations of the country give em-
ployment to a large amount of capital, and the dis-
count firms still find a good market for their means.
In some cases paper is still negotiated at 51 per
Cent

Increased heaviness has been apparent in the Eng-
lish Stock Market to-day, owing to renewed sales.
Business is generally quiet, but the uncertainty felt
relative to the probable tenor of the Indian news
depresses values, and speculators for a fall are
therefore encouraged to extend their operations.
Consols for money, in which there have been
aeveral bargains, have been at 9111 91k 4- and
For the account the prices have been 91n.

duced 91. i t. India Stock is 21.5 to 216,
