MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export and 1,500 on speculation. The market
closed very firmly at full rates. The sales comprised
8,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maraoham, at bid. to
7id.; 300 Bahia, at 6id. to 6id.; 800 Egyptian, at qd.
to 10id.; and 1,000 Surat, at 3il. to 48ci. per lb.—Rail-
way Shares were dull at rather lower rates.
The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 41s. 10d.
per quarter, and the quantity sold last week was 76,494
quarters, in the towns that govern the official average.
The Continental Stock-markets did not, at the
latest date, present any feature of interest. At
Amsterdam, on the 14th instant, there was not much
doing in either the hems or foreign securities.
Austrian Bonds were in some request, a circumstance
that must be attributed, we conceive, to the efforts of the
Austrian Government, through its agents, to sup-
port the market, since no cautious person would
in the present state of the Vienna treasury
be desirous of meddling with them. It is not too much
to assert that the Austrian Government is as badly off
now as at any time for several years, end with all its
promises does not go the right way to restore a sound
state of affairs.
The dividend declared at the Bank of England meet-
ing to-day is 3i per cent. for the half-year to the 31st
August. This is met withAout reducing the " Rest" or sur-
plus profit below three mitllions, but many proprietors are
still of opinion that something better could be accom-
plished, if the Bank: Directors discarded some
of their old-fashioned notions, and imitated the example
in part of that admirably-managed institution, the
Bank of France. The Iktnk has a very large capital,
and heavy deposits at command ; and
,it is contended
that too much is lodged in Government secu-
rities. Without we were behind the curtain,
this is a point we could scarcely give a po-
sitive opinion upon; but precisely because the public
and the proprietary are afforded so little information,
there should be strenuotz efforts to effect a change.
The weekly balance-t 3 beet is constantly mis-
leading even experience.l parties, and Mr. Parry de
Winton, himself a bank ar of long standing, acknow-
ledged at the meeting to-flay, that when he read the
account made up to September the 4th, and
looked at the Rest., he certainly thought
a larger dividend might have been declared.
Clearly, however, from what the Governor said,
this could not be, for the Rest, after the pre-
sent dividend is deduct pd, will be only 3,031,1801.
Under the circumstances, 'therefore, wo should not be
sorry to see a vigorou s movement to enforce the
completion of a fulle r balance-sheet, and its
circulation among the proprietory several days
before a meeting takes place. If this be not done
at present, the public should look to it when the charter
is renewed, and we could easily suggest a clearer and
more satisfactory Dr. an' I Cr. account without undue
exposure of banking secre t 3.

Listlessness is still the characteristic of the English
Stock Market, and there iy ; no political news to excite
fluctuation. Consols have en 994 a for Transfer, and 991
for Account. Exchequer-bil (shave been 675. to;7os. prom.,
and India Bonds 84s. prerai .um. Bank Stock for Account
is at 2291.

Foreign Stocks have bec .n rather flatter also. The
Turkish Loan has been ddwn to 98 a premium.
Some of the allottees ar e realising. Spanish Three
per Cents. have been 491 t( • 50; and the Deferred 23 to f.
Portuguese Four per Cent 3. are dull at 398. Mexican
have been heavy at 251 and Grenada Deferred at
128. Dutch, Russian, and Danish Bonds have all been
dealt in at about the previa us values.
Railway Shares have b een drooping as regards the
English lines. The Belgia n are still in favour at full
rates.

Gold Mine Shares are iv at quite so good. Australian
Mutual about I, and Cor d illera 4 premium.
