COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The demand for cotton at Liverpool yesterday was
limited. Sales were 5,000 to 6,000 bales, including 500
taken for export. Prices were without material change.
Railway Shares were quiet, but steady.
The state of the Bank of England account for the
week to last Saturday was indicative still of a demand
for bullion, and probably pact of this was taken for ex-
portation. The deposits, both private and public, were
without material alteration, and the balance-sheet may
now be considered to be free from the influence of the
quarterly payments. In the discounts there was some
increase, and this must be attributed to the disturbance
of credit by the recent failures, rather than to an increase
of trade. Compared with the previous week, the changes
were as fellows :

There was rather mere firmness yesterday afternoon
in the rates for bills of excitange on the principal Con-
tinental cities. Paris, 90 days, was 25 30 to 35 ; Am-
sterdam, 11 17i to 18 ; Hanthurgh, 13 51 to 5/ ; Frank-
fort, 1171 to 1171 ; and Trieste, 12 38 to 42.
There is more firmness in the English Stock market,
evidently under the impression that the war will be con-
ducted with greater vigour. Cells°ls have been 91 to
91ti for transfer, and 911 to for acco❑nt. The New 3
per Cents. have realised 91i to and the Reduced have
been 91 to I. Bank Stock has been supported at 212,
and India Stock at 222. Exchequer Bills remain at 4s.
to 7s. premium. The New 2i per Cents. bring 77.
Foreign Stocks are generally at about the previous
rates. Spanish continue heavy, and there is no inclina-
tion to do imagines'. The Certificates are 4i. Turkish
Bonds have been at 76g. Chilian realise 102 to 1031,
and Brazilian New 44 per Cents. 934. The old Bonds
ire 100 to 101.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks:
—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6 ; Mexican, 21 to
21i ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 49 to 51 ;
Portuguese 4 per Cents., 41 to 42 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 100 to 102 ; ditto, 4i per Cents., 89 to 91 ;
Spanish New Deferred, 17i to 17Z ; ditto 3 per Cents.,
36 to 36i ; ditto, Certificates, 41 to 41 ; ditto, Passive,
4a to 4i.
Railway shares look better, and there has been an
improvement of about per cent. in some of the quota-
tions. These securities would probably rise as usual
about dividend time, but for political circumstances.
Foreign shares have been quiet but firm.
The Colonial and Foreign Mines are well maintained.
The Joint-Stock Banks have been at a slight advance,
and the South Australian Land are scarcely so good.
