COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT

Our Share Market has been very steady all week, with

A fair amount of good business. The stock transferred
has been bought for investment by the public. To-day,
in consequence of the pacific news from Germany, the
narket has improved materially—closing, this evening,
,trong at the best prices of the day. The quotations are :

There is little stirring in our Colonial Markets, but
prices continue firmly supported. The accounts from the
Continent are somewhat more peaceable, and as the con-
sumption of every article continues large, we look for a
revival in the demand ere long. Trade is healthy in Man-
chester and the manufacturing districts generally, and
likely to be so, the acounts from India, per telegraph,
being again satisfactory.

In our Cotton Market on Saturday the sales amounted
to 5,000 bales. The market steadier than the previous
(lay. To-day the sales aro 6,000 bales, of which 500
bales American are on speculation. The market firm, and
d. per lb. dearer for American descriptions than on
Friday last—caused by the advices per steamer of yester-
day. The estimates of the crop of cotton in America
still vary from 2,000,000 to 2,225,000 hales.
Easterly winds having prevailed since Friday last, ar-
rivals have been only moderate. The trade has been firm
and daily transactions to a fair amount have taken place.
Prices of Wheat remain as last quoted ; Flour (of the
finorqualities) also remains unaltered, the inferior descrip-
tions, however, and more particularly sour, are getting
into a smaller compass, and are again somewhat dearer.
Holders of Indian corn require an advance of 3d. to 6d,
per cwt., which in some cases has been paid.
There has not been much business done in Scotch Pig
Iron during the past week, owing to the unsatisfactory
accounts from the Continent, but the market is firm at
43/9 to 44/ cash, and 45/ three months, open for mixed
numbers to b. at Glasgow. Bars are firm at £4 12s. 6d.
to £4 153. in Wales.

The following monthly report of the Wool market is-
sued to-day, is from the circular of Messrs. Joseph Ro-
binson and Co. :
" Throughout last month the demand has been limited,
occasioned by the threatening aspect of affairs on the Continent,
which has struck a degree of fear into several of the manufac-
tarers, and given them a pretext for attempting to reduce
prices. Under ordinary circumstances their objectwould have
been achieved ; but the heavy consumption of the year— the
healthiness of trade, with its cheering prospects, and the
limited supply of all descriptions, causes an apparent indiffer-
ence on the part of holders to realize. The result is, that the
market closes more firmly, and manyclasses of low wools have
further advanced. No public sales were held here during the
month, and transactions are all by private treaty, chiefly in
Egyptian, Oporto, Lisbon, East India, Servia and Bosnia (to
arrive) Buenos Ayres, &c. Russian Fleece. and long coarse
sorts, are in request, and none to be had, even at the extreme
quotations. Peruvian meets ready sale. Oporto Lambs', and
the lower qualities, are eagerly purchased. Good combing
Egyptian still commands high rates, and imports are wanting
to supply the demand. Scotch—Laid Cheviot still continues
inanimate, and cannot be sold at a reduction of 6d. per 241bs. ;
Laid Highland is in moderate recuest, and sales are effected at
9s. 6d. to 9s. 9d. for good lots; White Highland has become
scarce, and the extreme price quoted is demanded for indif-
ferent parcels; as there is little here, sales are only trifling ;
Cross is not much sought after, and transactions small ; White
Cheviot is readily purchased, and a supply desirable. English
and Irish—The feeling is quieter, though there is abundance of
inquiry ; holders are not offering freely, as they expect an ad-
vance before the close of the year. At the present time about
25,000 bales are offering by auction in London ; the attendance
of buyers is unusually large ; a decided advance of Id. per lb.
is reported in fine wools; low kinds have also sold at higher
prices, which shows that there is no probability of any fall for
some time hence."
