ARRIVAL OF STEAMER FRANKLIN.
Nine Days Lafer from Europe.

s'H" Dhys LtcF JTOM EuOpt'
New YoRK, Jan. 1911, p. M.-The steamer
franklin arrived at quarantine this evening from
Havre. She rings Liverpool dates to the 3lst Of
December.
The Franklin encountered very rough weather
and heavy seas. She will remain at quarantine UNI
al to morrow IN orning.
From the London Times, the only paper re-
ceiyed by her, brought up by private express,
furnish you the following brief synopsis of the
news;
India.
The commercial accounts from India, by the
overland mail, are considered ,ery satisfactory
1liE MARKETS. Liverpool Cotton Market, Dec.
u There has been no important change Ia the
cotton market since the sailing OF the Niagara.
The quotations then given iirmly maintained.
The stock on hand in Liverpool il declared to be-
Of American Dol ,23f bales; Brazil, 6s ,Gl3; Egyp-
tan, - lS2; West Indian, 9O3; Surats, 81 ,9II -
making total Of i5i, s97 showing an excess of
50 900 balea the estimated stock previously
published.
Money DIayket.-There is more demand for
money in London, and the market has been
tighter. The English funds, railway shares, and
foreign stocks were rather depressed by the in
creased demand for money. In foreign exchanges
there has been considerable advance, especially
upon Paris, Hamburg, and Amsterdam. Tho cf
iect of this would be to temporarily check the ex-
ports of specie.
BreadSiu6s.-Thc market for brcadstufs in Liv-
erpool on the 3lst December, was quiet. | have
no quotations for flour. Indian corn, yellow, sell
ing at Sis. per quarter.
Provisions were steady, without material change
in prices
[fhe above is all the news can gather at this
time from the paper before and il svery doubt
ful # any thing more can be had until the Franklin
arrives from quarantine, which will not be until to-
morrow morning.

The bank has defaulted for twelve years. The
