MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1.500 were taken for ex-
port at previous rates.—The Share Market was rather
firmer.
The increase in the amount of bullion held by the
Bank of England was again important during the week
to Saturday last, and as usual of late it was not accom-
panied by a corresponding addition to the business of
the corporation. The loans and discounts fell off, but by
the purchase of Govenment securities, or advances upon
them, the Bank managed to extend its circulation a
little. The deposit accounts give evidence of the grow-
ing abundance of money. Compared with the previous
week the changs are as follow :

There was very little change yesterday afternoon in
the rates at which bills of exchange are negotiable.
Paris, 3 months' date, was taken at 25 421 to 45, Am-
sterdam at 11 191 to 4, liamburgh at 13 104 to 101,
Frankfort at 1204 and Trieste at 12 33 to 40.
The prices at which gold is being received at the
Mint have been lowered in consequence of the increasing
supply, the expense of refining and coinage with the
prospect of such an influx being a serious consideration.
The Bank hitherto has paid 31. 16s. 21d. per oz. for
American eagles, and 31. 16s. 2d. per oz. for French 20
franc pieces, leaving only id. margin in the latter case
for the refining process betore the coinage into sove-
reigns. The coinage costs ld. and therefore in future
the Bank will receive these gold coins at only 31. 16s.
lid. Gold ingots of the standard fineness will be pur-
chased at 31. 178. 9d. As to the Australian gold, some
of that discovered is much above the standard.
The following remarks upon Railways and Mines are
furnished by Messrs. J. S. Tripp, and (;o.:—
At present the market is suffering from the depres-
sion caused by recent events, but under the blessing of
peace which her Majesty's Ministers have announced it
`is
their determination to maintain, investments will be
sought after and prices will correspond more nearly
with the present value of money.
The average receipts per mile per week on the four
weeks of the current half-year, compared with the cor-
responding period of last year, show generally a decided
improvement. Present prices are lower than they were a
month since, and very considerably below the prices of
March 14 last.
" Whilst all other securities have declined, Mining
Shares have improved where any improvement in the
prospects of the mine has justified an additional value.
Had railway traffics increased ever so materially during
the last few weeks, the depression from political causes
would have been equally great. From which we con-
I elude that mining property is much better held, and pur-
chased more for the purposes of investment than other
public securities generally."
At Manchester and Leeds trade has been dull this
week.
