COMryIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

r • CITY, Two o'CLoorc.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
With a quiet aspect, and prices of all kinds were
)39te as dear as last week. The sales were 7,000
lea The Railway Share Market was dull, and
Prices Were rather lower.
liThe following Mining News, which is taken from
"81.8• Watson and Cuells Mining Circular, will be
found instructive by parties holding the shares of
the Particular companies alluded to :
``4onemena is looking better. The shoot of ore,
a, orked at the 58, has been met with at the 70. The
the 02 will be 160 tons. At Craddock Moor,
02 end west produces above 4 tons per fin, of high

will be shown on the two months' working.

" a profit of about 100/. Ilerodsfoot.—ln our c'r-
ctilar of December 4tb, we called attention to the im-
Z"ing state of this mine, and said the price at which
area were at, viz., Si. 108., was less than the value of
Sinmachinery, and advised our readers not to sell.

double. Wheal Robins is looking better going west,

Our lagt we gave early and special intelligence of the
aprovements here. On Saturday, the shares rose from
`". to 401. each.—Great Alfred, according to the
agent's report, is lookin, better in several parts.
2 Jeetlawkmoor, the lode at 50 fin. level west is reported
t wide, with a good leader of solids copper ore.
T64' month's sampling will be about 30 tons. The
; ;ale of Towey sold 61 tons of lead ore on the 9th, for
lia. ; the highest parcel, 32 tons, realising
141 11s. 6d. per ton."
The advices from India, via, Trieste, report no
alteration in the rates of exchange to encourage the
11,°Pe that the efflux of silver will abate. Endeed
there is reason to infer that it will continue at the
Pv,resent state, and the steamer, which is to leave
'3outhampton on the 20th inst., is expected to take
1-t upwards of 600,000/. As evidence of the extent
tOs:! Which these specie operations are carried, it may
mentioned that not only was the whole amount
.13- the Mermaid absorbed, but a further with-
drawal of about 40,0001. from the Bank was
effected II -A. yesterday. The remittance by the
• aekwall, may
is thought, will follow, but the
and
demand ay then be satisfied,
4d any further receipts will perhaps be
retained here. The demand for money is still main-
tained; and a few symptoms of improvement are
I.Ported. These, however, are not expected to
•,;71 to-any decided change. The Bank of England
• rectors, as w fully anticipated, have separated,
after their weekly deliberations, without making
441 Y alterations in the terms for loans and discounts.
The market for English Stocks still exhibits a
ve
rat?' 'tranquil appearance. A few speculative ope
02ns have taken place, but the sales and pur-
tres bare pretty evenly balanced; little altera-
-1:1 in prices has resulted. Beyond this there is
_ feature to report, tho uncertainty prevailing
the
regard to the progress of political affairs, and
ail° continuance of the money pressure preventing
extension of business. Consols have been
• for money, and 93/ for the account. Exche-
querl3ills are par to 3s. prem.
A moderate business has been clone in Foreign
stocks, and the quotations are without any general
change; of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents, are
larked 97 to 97k, a slight advance, but the 4 per
