MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL,
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O,CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed quietly. Railway Shares were quiet.
The weekly return of the Bank of England to
the 23d inst. is interesting, owing to the further
numerous changes. There was rather a large with-
drawal of deposits, but these went in part towards
the payment of loans, the amount of the other
securities being much smaller. The bullion was
again trenched upon, but this week's arrivals will
soon restore the balance. Compared with the pre-
vious week the changes are as follows :

ing the week to Thursday last was 23,920 ounces,
nearly all to Boulogne, and of silver 2,840 ounces.
The English Funds have been quiet, and have
not improved upon yesterday's rates. The absence
of business is the chief cause, and the closing of
speculative accounts in connection with certain
