CITY, Two o'CLocz.
At the Liverpool cotton market yesterday there
St
was a fair attendance of the trade, but they ope-
rated with caution. The sales amounted to 6,000
bales, of which 1,000 were for export and specula- ;3 0
;
ton. The prices realised were heavy. There was
a slight decline in the prices of Railway Shares, 31
and business was rather inactive. 17
There was no alteration to notice in the indigo
sale yesterday. Good Madras realised 3d. per lb. 22
advance. 928 chests have passed, of which 320
chests have been bought in, 130 chests withdrawn,
leaving 478 chests sold. Total passed 3:931 chests, (0
of which 2,754 chests have been sold.
Looking at the Bank of England Return for the 20
Week to the 6th inst. it may not strike every one ro
as being an improvement on the previous returns, 10
but there are, nevertheless, some points which de-
..!.!?
serve attention with respect to the future. ;451
The bullion bas again been materially les-
sened, and there was also a great reduction
in the reserve of notes, but for almost every
sovereign of the latter which the Bank bad
to part with, is sold a corresponding amount
of securities ; therefore its resources can keep up a
Sort of equilibrium with the demand upon them.
It is not altogether, however, the requirements of
the mercantile community or of capitalists and ex-
change-dealers that led to these movements, since
it would be more correct to measure the amount of
disturbance which they would occasion by the
reduction of the private balances. These were
diminished in preference to making applications for
further discounts, and hence they were slightly
diminished. The public deposits are considerably
lessened, the payments at the close of the financial
quarter having been commenced. The following
are the changes under the different heads, as coru
pared with the statement of the previous week.

The rates at which Bills of Exchange were uego
tiated yesterday afternoon upon the principal bills
abroad were not, in all cases, so high as on last
Post day. Paris were rather flatter, as well as
Amsterdam. Hamburg improved a little. Trieste

674 ; Amsterdam 12 to 121 ; Hamburg at 13 10
to 101 ; Frankfort at 1191 to 119 L and Trieste at
11 27 to 32.
The exports of the precious metals during the
week to Thursday last comprised 13,500 ounces
of silver, and 6,050 ounces of gold, all for the
Continent.
There has been a decided improvement in the
Stock Market, the quotations being higher by g to
per cent. This is pay day in the Stock Exchange
upon the speculative account, and the dividends
being in course of payment annuitants have been
investing. Consols have been quoted 87i / and
881 for money, and 871 and 88i 1 for time.

The transactions in Railway Shares to-day have
been extremely limited ; still, however, a firmer
tone prevailed. The North-Western rose 155., the
North-Eastern and Berwick, 10s. The French
Shares were buoyant, but very quiet. Great
western of Canada Shares ruled rather higher.
In Mining shares the transactions were insignifi-
cant,
and the Banks attracted very little notice.
Australasian, however, were up again ss. Union
of Australia ruled heavy. Canada Land Shares
advanced W. to 8/. ; and Crystal Palace were a
shade better.
