MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLuCIC
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday appeared a
little quieter, and prices were steady. The sales amounted
to 8,000 bales, including 2,000 which were taken on specula-
tion and export. In Shares there was a good amount of
business transacted. In the early part of the day the Market
was very firm, but towards the close it was flatter, and par-
ties evinced some anxiety to :ell.
The weekly statement of the Bank of England, to the 7th
instant, gives us again an increase in the specie, but a large
curtailment of circulation. This arises only in part, how-
ever, from reduced employment of money, the great addition
to the public deposits being sufficient to account for it to
some extent, although there was a slight falling off in dis-
counts. The lessening of private deposit accounts we may
attribute to the increasing investments iu stocks and
shares. Compared with the previous return, the changes
are as follevrs :
