Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotten
Market yesterday closed with more animation, and
Thices of all descriptions slightly advanced. The
sales were ezAimased at 10,000 bales, 5,000 .of
Iyhich were taken by tiro speculators, and 2,000
by the exporters. The Railway Share Market
c!o sad with a quiet appearance, and there was a
slight decline on yesterday's rates.
The Foreign Exchanges were generally a shade
firmer yesterday afternoon.
About 108,3351. will be despatched to-day to the
trazils by the steamer Teviot. In addition to
th-9 large remittances of gold known to be on the
iv, 437 from Victoria; nearly 150,0001. must now
De near at hand from New South Wales, and it is
ezpected that the influx from both colonies towards
the end of the month will be considerable. The
Etna has arrived from Alexandria with the
10)977/. in gold conveyed to Suez by the Austra-
," steamer European, and a portion, if not all,
this amount is likely to be sent into the Bank.
'ending the arrival of the Overland Mail, the silver
market continues exceedingly dull, and the re-
ceipts of that metal from the Continent are unini-
L°rtant. The current quotations of bullion are :
4! gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard ; unrefined
gold, 775. 104 d. per oz. ; United States gold coin,
'Os. 3d. per oz. ; bar silver, ss. 10. per oz.
standard ; and five franc pieces, 4s. lltd. per oz.
In the discount market there is still a brisk in-
quiry for accommodation, and it chiefly emanates
"n 1 the commercial public, notwithstanding the
three general quietude of trade. -During the next two or
b
days the settlement of the Consul account at
the Stock Exchange will probably increase the ap-
plications for accommodation, but no alteration in
the terms is expected, as there is a large supply of
capital in the market. The rate still allowed
by the discounts firms for deposits On
call, place them in the possession of
large amount of available means, and if the de-
!nand only partially subsides in the course of a
lew days, there is no doubt that a decline of or
per cent. will take place. Au important sum will
open be liberated through the payment of the divi-
.,,ends) which will also assist in imparting some,
'qditional case to the market.

A slight improvement has taken place in the
market for Public Securities to-day, owing to the
rrangements in connection with the settlement.
