CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
At the Liverpool cotton market yesterday there
a fair attendance of the trade, but they ope-
ra ted with caution. The sales amounted to 6,000
bales, of which 1,000 were for export and si ecula-
til 'IL The prices realised were heavy. There was
a slight decline in the prices of Railway Shares,
an d business was rather inactive.
There was no alteration to notice in the indigo
sal a yesterday. Good Madras realised 3d. per lb.
advance. 928 chests have passed, of which 320
°hosts have been bought in, 130 chests withdrawn,
lea ring 478 chests sold. Total passed 3,931 chests,
of which 2,754 chests have been sold.
:Looking at the Bank of England Return for the
we ek to the 6th inst. it may not strike every one
as being an improvement on the previous returns,
but there are, nevertheless, some points which de-
Bel ye attention with respect to the future.
Ti, e bullion has again been materially les-
Belied) and there was also a great reduction
in the reserve of notes, but for almost every
sovereign of the latter which the Bank had
to part with, is sold a corresponding amount
of securities ; therefore its resources can keep up a
solrt of equilibrium with the demand upon them.
It is not altogether, however, the requirements of
the mercantile community or of capitalists and ea-
ch ange-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
dilminished 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
(Mater having been commenced. The following
are the changes under the different heads, as com
