MONEY and COMM ERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 American
were taken for export and sp -culstion. The market
was tame but steady. The sales comprised 4 500 Ame-
rican, 350 Pernam and Marantrim at 60. to 70 , 600
Eoptian at 64d. to 7d., 400 Surat at 34d. to and
50 Sea Island at Is. to Is. 44. per in. Share
Market opened heavily, but improved on hearing that
the Bank had reduced the rate of interest to 2 per cent.,
and closed firmly.
The demand for the principal staples
to present wants, and holders obtain no is still confined
advance of mo-
ment. COffee has been dull. Teais rather better.
Sugar steady, and Coffee firm. Yesterday there was
more buoyancy at the close, owing to the reduction in
the Bsuk rate of discoun' ; and the same feature is oh-
servable this morning, although the business done has
not materially increased.
An interesting and very 'elaborate statement has been
prepared for Parliament as to the business and the ex-
penses of the various S;r rings' Banks in the United
Kingdom, and by inspeettion of the various items, we
arrive at many results which are of importance in form-
ing an estimate of the well-doing of the population, and
the pregte sof the sTistem. England has a population
of 17,609.058 persor.s. and its annual number of receipts
from depositors is 1,055 0851., while its payments are
491,0291 The amounts withdrawn singly are 141.25. 7id.,
against 5/. 17s. 2d., taking the average of the year; but
this is quite natirral, inasmuch as parties save until they
have a sum at command sufficient for the accomplish-
ment of a desired purpose. The average receipts in
Scutiand are 3/ 18s. from .each depositor, and the
withdrawals 51 9s. 4d. The Irish receipts are 8/. 15,.
100., and the withdrawals only 8/. 6s. Bid. This
shows, apparently, that savings' hanks are adopted
in. Ireland as places of socurity, where perhaps
ether banks would serve here, and the easy classes there
are more extensive d.,politors. The number of annuities
granted during the year to N.ivemher, 1850, was 7,949,
of 134.413/. 6d. The average cost of management,
