MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 12,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export, and 1,500 American and 1,500 Surat
on speculation. The market closed firmly, with Ame-
rican 1-16 d. to d., Common Egyptian d., and other
kinds id. up. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 700
Pernam and Maranham at 50. to 6d., 600 Bahia at
54 P, to 6d., 500 Egyptian at sid. to 9d., and 2,500 Surat
at 3d. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were not quite so
good with the exception of Midland Stock, which was
firm.

In the Produce markets this week business has been
more limited, but prices generally have been firm. Coffee
has been steady, and Mocha dearer. Tea dull, Tallow
firm, and Cotton in demand. Dyes and Dyeing Mate-
rials have been in good demand the past month, the large
quantity of 9,800 chest. of Indigo sold in the late sales
is far above the usual average of a February sale. Saf-
fl,wer has been in more demand, and the finer qualities
have commanded higher rates; a fair business has also
been done in the middling qualifies of Lae Dye at im-
proved prices. Cochineal barely supported former rates,
but the arrival of intelligence on the 28th nit., reporting
a great falling off in the new crop, has given life to the
market, and there are now no sellers, except at an ad-
vance upn previous rates ; other articles are much as
before.

The rate of exchange at Hamburgh on London lost
Tuesday was 13 64, being higher. Stocks were firm,
and Shares rather heavy. &Loney very *band tont. Grain
firm, and Coffee steady.
A party, writing about the rumoured intenti)n of the
Bank to withdraw its small notes from circulation,
observes:—' _ _

" The amount of gold held by the Bank of England
at this time cannot be less than eighteen millions, and
it is rapidly on the increase. As wheat and other
productions fall in value (price) when superabundant,
so must gold likewise. In Australia gold can be bought
at 31. 4s. 6d. the ounce, and if to that is added ss. 9d. for
freight, insurance, profit, &c., 31. 94. 9d. is then the
price which it may be sold for in the markets abroad,
and it might be had at that price here, but for the Bank
Charter of 1844, which compels them to give 31. 17a. 9d.
for all that is brought to their shop, whether worth
more or less than that price. Consequently the Bank store
of 18,000,0001. is hereby reduced in commercial value to
16,200,0001. The difference of 2s. in the pound, equiva-
lent to Ba. the ounce, being 1,800,0001., a loss which is
chargeable upon their rest" (surplus fund), and is
about equal to one year's dividend of that company.
" To meet their difficulties, the Bank is contemplating
the withdrawal of their 51. notes, thinking that their place
will be supplied by debased soveriegns, and so the public
be made participators of the loss which would other-
wise tall on the Bank exclusively. The loss to the
Bank would not be very great from such withdrawal,
for the amount of their Si. notes in the hands of
the public can hardly be more than four millions;
and their own estimate of the profit of such circulation
being only 11.41. 30. per cent., or 48,5831 per annum,
that sum must be considered small as compared with the
one and a half to two millions sterling which they might
to divide yearly. The utmost extent of reliet to the Bank
by so taxing the public, even if' the sw,eme succeed,
which is doubtful, would only be 400,0001., and there-
fore some other more honest or more able plan must be
devised by the Bark to meet the emergency.
The English Securities have been buoyant, with a
moderate business dicing. Consols hate been 97W to
for Transter, and 97i for Account. The Redneea

Buenos Ayres realise 58k, and Old Brazilian 9Th
Mexican have been 33 to I. Purchases have been made

21, are now up to 3 and 31 Dutch Stock is higher.
Railway Shares have been at full prices generally,
and the French lines are much dealt in at advanced
prices.

To-day's market waa but moderately supplied with
Beasts; nevertheless, the demand for all breeds ruled
very inactive, at prices barely equal to those of Monday
last, the top figure for the best Scots being 34 6d per
Blbs. Prime Down Sheep were scarce, and quite as dear
as last week. Otherwise the Mutton trade was heavy,
at late rates. The highest quotation for Downs in
the wool was 4s 4d per Blbs. The few Lambs in the
market sold at from 4s 8d to 5s per 8113 s. In Calves
very little business was transacted, but we have no de-
cline to notice in their value. Pigs were very dull but
riot lower. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from 141 to
18/ each, including their small calf.
