AND
OOH ME PILL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
firm feeling was maintained up to the close, and
full prices were current. TheesaleS were 7,000

bales, 1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation.
The Railway Share Market continued quiet, and
prices were a shade lower than on Monday.

Preparations have been commenced, although
on a small scale, for tl:e remittances of silver to
the East by the steamer which leaves Southampton
on the 20th inst. ; but until further intAligence is
received from India and China, which is expected
about the 12th or 13th, business will remain ex-
ce dull.

There-was no particular alteration in the rates of
Exchange upon the principal cities of the continent
yesterday afternoon, although a decline was gene-
rally anticipated. The advices from New York
report the exchange there to be firm at about 1091,
1'43 that a continuance of remittances from that
eonntry are calculated upon.
The demand for money in Lombard-street and
at the Bank is much quieter, partly in consequence
Of an impression that the minimum will bereduced
t? 51 per cent. Thus, first class paper is nego-
tiated at 5i per cent., in some cases rather lower,
and the supply is ample. The dividend payments
commenced to-day, and'these will produce addi-
tional ease. If the reduction be made as antici-
Pated, either this week or next, it will give an
im-
portant impulse to trade, and create confidence in
all depart eats.

Nearly all the specie that arrives from Australia
and America is sold to the Bank, and the next re-
turn will, no doubt, exhibit a material increase in
the bullion. Yesterday about 55,000/., probably the
remainder of the supply brought by the Champion
of the Seas, was so appropriated, and the American
remittance by the Canada is likewise expected to
find its way into the Bank vaults.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Colonial Bank
to-day, a dividend was made at the rate of 6 per
Cent per annum, leaving the balance of bad debts
reduced to only about £lO,OOO.
The report was adopted.
The English Stock Market, although under the
influence of the settlement, is a shade firmer, and
there is evidently a better feeling,—stimulated by
the anticipation of a change in the rate of discount
to-morrow. It is thought that the Bank will not
Only lower the minimum, but likewise continue
their loans upon stock. This opinion, however, is
not shared in by the public generally, as there
is really no necessity for a continuance of such fa-
cilities beyond the period of the Shutting. Consols
for money have been 924 3, for Thursday 921 .3,
and for August 93. The New 3 per Cents. are
921 I, and the Reduced 921 Bank Stock is
2121 to 214. Exchequer Bills were 3s. discount. to
par.

In the Foreign Market the dealings have
not been very important, but the quotations are
generally firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are nomi- •
nally 952 96. Spanish New Deferred are 25a,
Sardinian 892 to 90, Russian 1l Os. Fr. nch 41 per
Cents. 91f. with the exchange at 25f. 30e. Peru- '
vian are 822 to 832.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks ;—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 61 ; Mexican,
22A ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 82 84; ditto 3 per
Cents., SG; 58 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 5 ;
Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; diq) 41 per Cents.,
96 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40.1 402 ; ditto New
Deferred, 25k g ; ditto Certificates, 6 G ; ditto
Pasiive, 515 6.
There has been very little animation in the Rail-
way Share Market. A sight advance, however,
has taken place in the values of some of the chief
lines. North-Eastern Berwick rose 10s. ; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, ss. to 10s. ; Great West-
ern, North-Western, and Midland, ss. ; Bristol
and Exeter and South-Eastern were at yesterday's
rates ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln de-
clined ss. ; Eastern Union B stock about 10s. to
15s. The French lines, although not active, are at
enhanced values. Eastern of France have im-
proved 7s.
10s. 6cl. to 10s. ; and Paris and Lyons,
Great Western of Canada are flat, and de-
clined about ss. ; Grand Trunk are at nominal
values, as also East Indian. Dutch Rhenish
and Lombardo-Venetian are firm.
Mining Shares have ruled very quiet. The fol-
lowing business has been reported—Alfred Consols,
17 ; -Wheal Mary Ann, 4q ; and Mexican, 31.
The market for Joint-Stock Bank and Miscella-
neous Shares has been exceedingly quiet. Otto-
man Bank receded about 55.; London and County
Bank of Australasia and London Chartered of
Australia were at previous rates ; Peninsular and
Oriental Steam declined to 63.
