MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken on
speculation. The market closed steadily at the highest
rates of the week.—Railway Shares were quiet.
The near balance of the imports and exports of bullion
during the week to the 28th nit. caused the amount of
specie in the Bank of England vaults to keep tolerably
steady, while the constant addition making to the public
deposits as the quarter goes on, throws back a portion of
the notes that were previously in circulation, and aug-
ments the unemployed reserves. In other respects the
Bank of England does not appear to be increasing its
business, although money would appear to be more in
request, because the balances of private depositors were
being drawn upon. Compared with the previous week,
the changes are as follow:

Taking the banks throughout Great Britain, we find
that their weekly average issues during the month, to
the 7th ultimo, were, when compared with the previous
month to July 10, as follows :
Bank of England E23,374,694 More £1,274,564
Private Banks
Joint Stock ditto 2,813,582 , 7,061
Scotland .. 3,307,750 Less 30,545
Ireland 4,396,505 „ 9,668
The total was 37,369,2691., an increase over the pre-
vious month of 1,267,2011.
There was, yesterday afternoon, in the negotiation of
bills of exchange upon the leading cities of the Conti-
nent, no particular change in the rates, compared with
the previous post day.
In adverting to the reoent important fluctuations in
railway shares, Messrs. Lamond state :
" The half-yearly meetings must be regarded as the
chief influencing cause of these variations. The full
improvement attained in July, when quotations, which
from the end of May had so suddenly advanced through
the easiness of money and the actual produce of the
Australian and Californian mines, naturally brought in
sellers for realization, and the reaction which then com-
menced was increased by the reports circulated respect.
ing approaching dividends. The estimates of traffic
were not found to be satisfactory, and encouraged by
their apprehensions the Bear speculators began to aug-
ment their sales. The statements of the companies
themselves, when they appeared, increased the alarm.
The Brighton dividend of 1/. 12s. per share, for the half-
year ; the London and North-Western dividend at the
rate of 5i per cent., with a decrease of the reserve hind;
the Great Western dividend of 4 per cent,; the South
Western dividend of 341 per cent.; the Great Northern
dividend of 2 per cent.; and the powers asked to
raise one million fresh capital, were circumstances un-
inspiring of confidence, and hence the great prevailing
depression. It was clearly foreseen that this would be
the result of the course of business, and looking at the
nature of events last year the present fall was to have
been anticipated, making proper allowance for the pro-
portionate increase in the Bank's stock of bullion, and
the less discouraging position of commerce. The divi-
dend of the Midland at the rate of 3 per cent.; the York,
Nay castle, and Berwick of 24 per cent.; the York and
North Midland of 1 per cent., and the dividends of the
other principal lines have disappointed mostof the share-
holders, and at this particular juncture quotations are
extremely sensitive. The operators in the Stock Ex-
change being therefore prepared for these things, the
market ultimately presents either a decidedly Bullish or
Bearish tendency. Now that the weather has set in fine,
and the worst of the dividends is known, a better feeling
is apparent. Prices however must not yet be called
healthy, for occasional fluctuations take place of a reac-
tionary description,"
The letters trom the woollen and cotton manufacturing
districts are very encouraging, and business this week
appears to have become much brisker.
The quantity of bullion exported from London during
the week, to Thursday last, was 136,946 ounces of silver,
and 102,300 ounces of gold, the latter to Belgium and
Llamburgh.
The Turkish Loan has been at 5 to 5} premium.
