AND

COIVIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cot-
ton Market yesterday manifested a very quiet ap-
pearance, and prices were unaltered. The sales were
estimated at about 4,000 bales. The Railway
Share Market closed quietly, and the values of all
the leading stocks were a shade lower.
Owing to the arrangements in progress for the
shipment of silver by the steamer Colombo, which
leaves for India and Ch na on Sunday, there is an
increased demand for silver, and the quotations
for that metal are consequently rather
firmer. It is not imagined that the remittances
by this vessel will be so heavy as of late,
and 600,0001. is spoken of as something
near the probable amount. The rates of
exchange reported by the present mail, both in
India and China, are not expected to stimulate the
drain, but the monthly exports will no doubt con-
tinue large, and prevent any large accumulation of
bullion in the Bank of England. The current
quotations in the bullion market are :—Bar gold,
775. 9d. per oz., standard ; United States gold coin,
765. 3d. per oz. bar silver, ss. lid. per oz., stand-
ard ; and Mexican and South American dollars,
ss. 11d. per ounce.
At the meeting of the adventurers in the Linares
Lead Mining Company, held yesterday, a dividend
of Gs. 81. per share was declared. The profits for
the half-year ending. 30th June Iliad considerably
increased, which enabled the directors to invest
one-tenth, or 1,2321. as the commencement of a
reserve fund. It.was stated that the directors in-
tended to erect similar works at Cordova, owing to
the scarcity of the brushwood used for fuel, as coal
could be more easily procured at Cordova. It was
expected that the railway between Cordova and
Seville would be opened half way before the end
of the year.
Thera was a meeting of the shareho:ders of the
Liberty Mining Company yesterday, when Mr.
Conquest's report was considered. This recom-
mended the further prosecution of the concern by
stinking the miue ten fathoms, and which would
cost about 3001., which, with the liabilities now
due, amounting to about 1,7001., it was proposed
to defray by the issue of preference shares of 1/.
each, to be issued at 10s., and to bear interest at
Vie rate of 10 per cent. The sum is to be returned
in the event of the property of the company being
brought to a sale.
Ye-terday afternoon the pressure for discount
accommodation was severe, and until the payments
of the 4111 of the month are concluded it is not ex-
pected there will be any relaxation. At present it
is believed that the supply is sufficient for all the
purposes required, and although the applications at
the Bank are understood to have been extremely
numerous, au advance in the rate of discount
is not anticipated. Besides these engagements an
increased inquiry is promo`ei by the settlements
at the St -:ck Exchinge, and the arrangements
made for the transmission of silver to the East and
China ; but these influences being merely of a tem-
porary character, a return to a somewhat easier
position is not improbable in the course of the
next few weeks.

Business in mast departmeifs continues very
quiet, and there is an evident disposition to con-
t, act operations within moderate limit 4. Thus, in

the manufacturing branches there is not much
activity, and in the Mincing-lane markets specula-
tion is decidedly quiet. Most articles of colonial
produce, however, are maintained at full quota-
tions, and in some instance 3 an advance has been
established.

On the Paris Bourse, yesterday, there was a rise
of about f per cent., and most descriptions of secu-
rities patticipatei in the improvement.
The English Funds have been rather depressed,
and the advance which occurred " after hours"
yesterday was at one time lost. It was alleged
that Delhi had been surrounded, but, as the state.
ment is not confirmed, its favourable influence on
prices was only temporary, and they have since

•
presented rather a heavy appearance. There
is very little business in progress, speculators;
as we'l as investors keeping aloof. Until the
ourrent account is arranged no renewal is ex-

pected, and oven then all will depend upon the na-
ture of the Indian intelligence. Consols have been
891 to 90i for money, and 93 to 90k for the account.
Toey are now buoyant, h )wever, being 901- ± and
901 g respectively. Exchequer Bills are marked
10s. to ss. discount.
Business in the Foreign Market has been remark-
st,',ly dull, and even Turkish Securities have been
at nominal rates. The 6 per Cents. are 95 to 95i ;
Spanish 3 per Cents. are 401 ; Portuguese 3 per
Cents., 45 ; Grenada New Active, 21; and Bra-
zilian 5 per Cents., 102 A.
In the Railway Share Market this morning a
very moderate business was transacted, and in most
instances rather lower rates were current. Eastern
Counties and N'orth-Western declined ss. Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, Caledonian, and Oxford, Wor-
e 'ster, and Wolverhampton 10s., and North British,'
S.mth-Eastern and Brighton 1/. Vale of Neath
atO South-West m . improved ss, and North-
Eas' ern, York, 10s. The Foreign lines are very
inactive. Northern of France advanced about 10s.
In the Colonial lines Grand Trunk of Canada
declined 11.. The other undertakings were at quite
nominal Yaluw.

Mining Shares were very quiet. Wheal Kitty
raaliied 22k. Santiago Consols 21, and North
Wheal Basset 16. Cobre Cupper declined to
46i 461.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
steady, but there is little busine-s doing. Bank of
Australasia and Union of Australia realised yester-
day's la`es.
In the Miscellaneous Market North of Europe
Steam improved ss. to 10s., and Peninsular and
Oriental Steam 1/. to 1/. 10A.
