LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING.
Zte ezttan 2 arittt.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market to-day there
was no change to report, a fair business being
transacted at steady rates The sales reported,
including 100 Egyptian, at B.ld to 10d ; 1,200
Surat, at 2d to 4-9 d ; amounted to 5,000 bales, of
which 2;000 were taken on speculatio3 and for
export.

Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., in their
_Prices Current this day say :—The great inte-
rest in foreign affairs, which has so long occu-
pied the publio mind, has been temporarily
lost sight of under the excitement which has
prevailed in the money market, amounting
almost to a panic, in consequence of a protective
policy on the part of a powerful discount house
in London, which assumed the appearance of
retaliative proceedings against the Bank of Eng-
land. Cotton, of which there is a large stock,
became unduly depressed. and other articles of
produce, were forced off, whilst the funds and
shares improved in value. The struggle, how-
ever, was of short duration, it being understood
that an arrangement has been made, whereby
the Bank rediscounts bills not having more
than ten days to run ; upon this becoming known,
a marked improvement took place. The public
for some time were quite at a loss to understand
the cause of the Bank raising the rate on the
12th ultimo to 5 per cent., when exports of
bullion -.vere nearly or quite suspended. foreign
exchanges all favourable for this country, an
absence of speculation, and everything apparently
was on a sound basis. The agricultural accounts
tom both Ireland and Scotland are of a very
disastrous character; the very great scarcity of
fodder for the cattle and the consequent loss of
many, arising from the late severe winter
and the very backward spring, have caused
a considerable advance in both grain and cattle,
and unless a speedy change takes place
in the weather, serious apprehension may be
entertained regarding the harvest : if deficient
crops should be the result, a great effect will be
produced in the money and produce raarkets•

Board of Trade returns to 31st March, were
