DIONL'Y MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a firm appearance, and
prices wero fully maintained. The sales amounted
to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the
sp2culators, . and 1,000 by the exporters. The
Railway:Share Market closed quietly, but there
Was no alteration in values.

The imports of rt Iv cotton during the first seven
Months of the present year, and also those of the
corresponding period of 1856, were as subj,ined :
Seven Months ended July 31,

The Foreign and Colonial Produce Mnrkets re-
Main in a very dull state, and during the present
Week the quantity offered at public sale will be
rather limited. The demand for immediate use is
not active, and it is, generally thought that lower
prices will .soon prevail. Sugar, tea, and coffee
are exceedingly quiet, but at present no further
alteration in value has taken place.
The quotation of exchange at New York on Lon-
don is repented firm at 1091 ft, and there is cense-
'Neatly an expectation that the imports of gold
from that quarter will continue on a moderate
Scale. These, together with the Australian sup-
Plies, will no doubt ensure an increase in the bul-
lion of the Bank of England, as the exports are on
a comparatively moderate scale. Upwards of a
Million sterling will soon be received from the
Antipodes, and this will tend to impart confidence
in rnOrietary prospects, but at present the active
demand for discounts prevents any relaxation in
the terms. This is proverbially a dull season
in a commercial zoint of view, and
if the enquiry is so urgent now, *that
is it likely t) be a little later, when active prepa-
rations for the winter trade are in progress ? Dis-
regarding this consideration, however, many are
still sanguine of a lower state before the expiration
of the year, and they point to the satisfactory re-
sults of the harvest, and the decline in the price of
sugar and other articles of daily consumption, in
Justification of their views. Five and a half per
ent• is fully maintained "out of doors," and the
brokers refuse to make any concession unless the
Paper is of a very superior kind.
The liquidation of the monthly account in Con-
-4°lB is now engaging chief attention,. but the
amount of outstanding engagements to be arranged
IS not so extensive as upon the last occasion. The
fluctuation, too, has been less violent. viz., to 1
Per Cent., and during the last week or ten days
sPeculation has diminished. The operators now
Prefer-to await later information from Delhi and
Other places before entering into new engage-
illents,, as the course of the market must be neces-
sarily influenced by its general tenour. The dan-
ger 3 and difficulties attending the suppression of the
mutiny neutralie the effect of the favourable symp-
toms connected with affairs at Rome, but when
the welcome intelligence is received of some signal
411ecess likely to eventuate in a restoration of tran-
,quillity,a considerable upward movement is certain.
Arttile it is premature yet to expect such good news,
Still the knowledge that it might come sooner than
anticipated induces a cautious policy, and hence the
general quietude of the market. Prices are rather
„fiat to-day, the, "state of monetary affairs in
