The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
andl,soo t. °Peen'on. The market was quiet. Railway
Shares a i
es were very heavy, at a decline of 1 per cent.
The
to return of the Bank of England for the week
hthe 27th ult. is precisely what might have been
,f2pected, seeing the recent advance in discounts.
Aot an ounce of silver was left in the Issue de-
artment ; and although there is no obligation to
tizteeP any there, the fact is significant as to the drain
hat has existed for shipment to China. The
ligeneral total of the bullion was likewise reduced,
withstanding the Australian gold imports.
There was a slight reduction in the loans and dis-
e.. tints, but this, we suspect, will be shown, when
.I_lle next week's balance-sheet is published, to have
been merely temporary. The large decrease in de-
Posits is an illustration of the greater demand for
