about four 10 five points here Immediately after
the opening, part OF which was however. after
wards lost under reports ana rumOrs OF
big receipts again to-day and tomorrow.
Our cables advise the failure OF q nol
important house ia Liverpool to-day whose in
terests for some time past have been supposed
20 be uron the bear side OF the market. After ?
O'Clock the market was steady improving q
point or TWO from the lowest and closing finally
within three points Of last nights figures. Ent
few new features have developed to-day. The
interior movement gives q little encourage

interior receipts.
