COIVIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

4eaounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a very animated
appearance, and..prices of all descriptions were
V. per lb. dearer. The sales amounted to
'2)000 baits, 2,000 of which were taken by the spe-
enlAlors. The Railway Share Market dosed
(InictlY, and prices were without any material
alteration .
the
more activity has been experienced in
" markets for Foreign 'and Colonial Produce this
leek, in consequence of a disposition on the part
the cluirttations.r Tor some time past the transactions
Begir have been very much circumscribed and
Iclera having found it difficult to effect sales have
at
length found it necessary to submit to lower
Prices. 'At the public sales during the last t,Ao or
three days a decline of ls. per cwt. has taken place.
Coffeet has remained tolerably steady, but Costa,
b tea haß declined fully ls. per cwt. Cocoa has
een r tther dearer: Tea remains dull and rice is
q 2 rather lower rates. In spices there has not been
much activity and there is no alteration of import-
ance in values. Sal tp.-tre has realised full prices,
ri tallow has scarcely supportel the late advance.
The dividend on the South Wales Railway Com-
Plilfa shares is stated to be at the rate of 3k per
e
'lit against 4 per cent. at the same time last year.

Is has caused a decline in the value of the share..
Later advises have • been received from
neiica by the steamer Ariel, which has
:ought 35,0001. in specie for England, 25,0001 for
t'ifaee, and 2,4001. for Bremen. It is stated that
amount of specie exported to Europe from the
rzniencement of the year to end of July was
)280,000/ , but not wit so • c3.42.n
tive shipments the bullion in the City Banks
:as steadily maintained. On the Ist instant

4.3 reason to believe that the imports will
continue to be enormous during the months
%f August and September. On the strength
"' the tariff our merchants have strained
them means to the utinod; to give copious orders
t 0 the manufacturers abroad ; while the excellent
t r°P Prospers of We West encourage the western
Th
--.teitants to be liberal in their orders to their
ec)trspoudents here. We look for a continuation
some iinas to come in the increase of im
ltrts both at this and other ports. As to
means for paying for them, it is now ob-
ees .that the crops in Europe are goihg
to
ha 4be BO bountiful that our grain will

t:114 expect to get on as well as we can without
i!'igtl demand. Especially in view of the pend-
4‘4eg Movement for the increase of railway fares, it
ofe,.rn, 'very unlikely that any considerable portion
