MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
with an upward tendency, and plices were some-
what higher. The salei were 12,000 bales, 3,000
of which were taken on sixculwior. The Rail-
Way Share Market was more active, and prices
Slightly improved.

During the present week the business tranSacted.
in Foreign and Colonial produce has not been very
active, but a steady demand has nevertheless ex-
isted for most of the principal articles of daily con-
sumption. A large quantity of sugar has been dis•
Posed of at previous rate 3 for good qualities,
but some of the inferior kinds have been sold
at a decline of one shilling per cwt. The
Stock of this staple on the sth inst. was 62,594
tens, against 65,148 tons at the same time last
Year. Coffee is well supported, although the land-
ings have been large, and the deficiency in the
supply, compared with last year, is not important.
The stock in London is about 130,576 cwt., against
183,958 cwt. in 1856. Tea is quiet, at Is. sd.
to Is. 9d. for congou, and at Iw. 2kd. per lb.
for common ditto. The public sales passed off with
animation, and the attendance of buyers was satis-
factory. Spices have remained inactive at about
former values. Cochineal is steady, and saltpetre
is rather cheaper. Tallow is in good demand, and
P.Y.C. is still maintained at 625. 6d. per cwt. on
the spot. Cotton has slightly advanced. •
There is rather less activity in the demand for
money, but no alteration iu the rates has yet oc-
curred. At the Stock Exchange, the terms for
loans are still 5 to 51 per cent.

A small quantity of gold, viz., 12,0001. was
withdrawn from the Bask yesterday, and
unless some arrivals from Australia are
Boon announced, further amounts will no doubt be
Bent away for the purchase of silver on the Conti-
tent. The 51,0001. by the Etna is expected in
town to-day, and a part will probably be appro-
priated to that purpose.

The monthly return just issued by the Bank of
Prance, completed till yesterday, shows a reduc-
tion in the discount operations of the establishment
of 740,2001. compared with the balance-sheet made
1115 to August. The bullion has increased to
113,0001., and the advances upon stocks and
shares exhibited a slight augmentation. On the
Whole, therefore, the return is satisfactory.
The English Funds are a trifle flatter, but the
market is still in an exceedingly inactive state.
The general features are precisely similar to those
noticed yesterday, business being at a stand
still until the arrival of the Overland Mail.
This is expected to-morrow, and there is
naturally a good deal of anxiety to ascer-
tain whether the news will be favourable or
the reverse. Prices have declined about Consols
have been 901 for money, and 901 for account,
Which are the present values. India Stock is 210.

lind. the Bonds, are 98k.
