COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
Closed heavily, with a downward tendency inprices.
The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, comprising
240 Pernam and Maranham at 7d. to 7,11, 100
Egyptian at fild. to 9d., and 600 Surat at 3d. to
51(1. per lb. The Railway Share Market was ex-
ceedingly buoyant, but little business was tran-
keted.
The directors of the Chartered Bank of India,
.elustralia, and China have issued their report, pre-
Paratory to the extraordinary general meeting con-
'relied for to-morrow. The object of the meeting
is to determine whether the undertaking is to be pro-
leented. The object for which the Bank was formed
Was to afford banking facilities to the vast and in-
:reasing trade between Australia,lndia, and China,a
rasd as yet unoccupied. The East India Government
~ somewhat reluctantly granted a charter, giving
lighted liability, and the banking ;privileges en-
joyed by other corporations in India. The following
are paragraphs in the report :
a "The bank has a fully subscribed capital, with the
a'TPosits all paid up, and it has a very large portion of
ijuares registered, with the Erst call paid. It has secured
ttelY, in the direction a valuable accession of inflaen-
: connections with the East; the demand for banking
e°tamoaation in the East is evidently on the increase ;
money at home has become plentiful ; and it only re-
vs for the shareholders, with the infusion of new
"',tubers
into their body, to realise the amount of the
e4Pital needful for the commencement of business."
After stating their belief that there is ample
t °Gni for this and other banks, the Directors pro-
tectli, to observe that :

tioni°aa with a bank in India already in opera-
el„_ These negotiations not having resulted as was
,oliFtected, the shares of which the directors had the

)ve set free for re-issue to the shareholders of the
conk' and to the public here and in India. The direc-

delllted the proposed amalgamation, and to the serious
