MONEY- MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. shr.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK. --
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton 12!
Market yesterday closed very firmly, but quietly, 50
at the full rates of last week. The sales were
j 3
estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken by the exporters,
and 1,000 by the specula- St.
tors. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, 25
and yesterday's rates were fully maintained.
25
The official returns relating to trade and navi-
gation for the month ending the 31st January, St.
1857, have been published. From these it ap- t.
Pears that the total declared value of exports from
the United Kingdom for the month was 9,058,105&,
20
being an increase of 1,083,3191. compared with 20
those of the like month in 1856. The increase is 10
Perceptible in beer and ale, cheese, coals and calm, 10
cotton manufactures, earthenware, fish, haber 50
-
dashery, millinery, hardwares and cutlery, leather, 25
machinery, tin plates, silk manufactures, thrown 20
silk, British spirits, refined sugar, sheep and lambs' St.
wool, but there was a falling off in butter, cotton, St.
yarn, copper, soap, and woollen and worsted yarn. 25,
The importation of the principal articles were .
larger as respects live animals, clocks and watches, 20
coffee, cocoa, wheat, barley, raw cotton, flax, cur- 10
rants; hides, potatoes, raw silk, sugar, tea and st.
wine. There was a diminution in oats, Indian 1,0
corn, quicksilver, rice, rum, tallow, and sheeps and `5.
lambs' wool. The shipping accounts exhibit an st.
increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the St. foreign trade both inwards and outwards, and in 10
the coasting trade the tonnage employed was Sts
illither larger for the clearances outwards, but ,
smaller for the entries inwards.
St. The annual meeting of the Victoria Dock Com-
St.
kany was held to-day ; Mr. Morrison in the chair. st.
the report stated that the number of ships which 12
entered the docks in the past year was 1,541, and 16
the arnonnt of tonnage 500,463. The accounts
aboWed a balance in hand of 13,172/. 15s. 6d. A St.
draft of a new bill in Parliament for making a new 16
entrance from the Thames at North Woolwich, and for other purposes, was read and passed ; and an- 20
other for converting the paid-up shares into capital st. '
Stock. The report was adopted. st.
Two or three other firms have been added to the 10
brit of failures recently reported among the Greeks, 10
,and the subject is creating some uneasiness. It is it,t!
ctelieved, however, that the losses will principally 25
among that body, and in several cases full divi- 25
'lens are expected. It must, however, be borne in St.
inind that the assets are chiefly abroad, and it will 10
be well, therefore, not to place too much confi- 10
Tdance
st.enee in their realisation to the extent anticipated.
hese suspensions among foreign traders afford no
St.
index to the general state of business, which re-
50
retains healthy, the parties in question having no 25
doubt launched into speculations that have proved 100
unsuccessful. 25
50
.No relaxation in the general Money Market is 20
likely to take place at present, although there is
reason to expect an improvement before many st.
Weeks have elapsed. Among the circumstances IV.
aoinch lead to this impression are the general ame- St.
t-ation on the Continent, the reduction in the
udlan exchanges, and the supplies of gold from St.
tthe Antipodes ; but the causes of the continued St.
reBsnre are the specie operations and the immense
.Bt-
•Dcle now in progress. The settlements of the Stock ;g
ponces t,
change also absorb capital. Under these circum- 50
ees it was not supposed that the Bank Directors St.
:1114 announce any change in the minimumat their St.
meeting to-day, and after a brief sitting it was 10
cent that this presumption was correct. Six per

St.
port
is rather a buoyant market for Public
20
;,orUrdies, but the movement in prices is not im-
-10
tant, owing to the paucity of business. The ap- st.
