The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
Were setimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000
American taken for export._ The market was steady,
but closed :without spirit at previous. rates: The
•sales comprised 4,500. American, 150 Peinatzt and
Maranham at 6d. to 61d., 400 Bahia at 6tl. to Md.,
400 Egyptian at Md. to 61d., an.l 600 Surat at
3d. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm, and
prices had an upward-tendency. -
The continued prevalence of contrary winds
keeps out a large number of vessels that are in the
Channel, and among them are supposed to be seve-
ral from Australia.
The accounts received from the United States,
and delivered in part this morning, are so eclu-
sively occupied with the " drought" question
that the money-market does not receive in many
of the journals the customary attention. At the
latest date, however, the 29th ult., there was
greater ease, and the New York Banks had increased
their specie without too violently contracting their
loans, At New Orleans likewise, there was more

" Since the date of the last report but a very moderate
amount of business has been transacted in exchanges.
The demand has been very limited for all descriptions,
though at the same time we would observe that the
offerings have been exceedingly light. r 1 lie on Englacd

are altogether too high for exchange purposes. Drawing

slowly at from 5.071 to 5.15 per &liar, accoroing to

made yesterday at from to per cent, premium. The

Y be necessary to state that " unparted bars" are
" parts °4l which the silver has not been extracted.
the 8 d bars" contain only the gol,l, and the reason.of
the en demand for them is that parties who desire
ch elver extracted prefer coin, as being more mer-
antabie.
tzAlthough the paucity of business in the Stock
linle.,_hange is still a feature, owing to the very
tav"ed attendance of members, prices are main-
13alued with considerable firmness, and there is a
jaPable buoyancy, which would lead to the infe-
babeie of a further, even if a gradual,!rise being pro-

11* STAMP ACTS. —A deputation of bankers, con-
tev g of Messrs. Masterman, Robarts, Glyn, Prescott,
of.t:titoatid Sir J. Lubbock, waited upon the Chancellor
4ithetl,444chequer yesterday upon some points connected
fain ;i'4l Stamp Acts. Their chief object was to ascei•-
ope -the retrospective and consequently objectionableb
11,T14worl of the measure which comes intob force on the
tut, of month, by which all foreign to be
ot7Jected to a stamp could be modified so as to apply
all YLt° those dated on and after that day, instead of to
that
0t then fall due ; but it was stated that while there
r have been every disposition to accede to the
clone as far as regards the question of revenue, the

the act are considered too explicit to admit
desired construction. With respect to an inquiry
mmather bankers may continue to give acknowledg-
r 11". without receipt stamps for money paid in or le-
frertted by their customers, and also to receive advice
ticni their agents of similar payments, the answer was
at they will still be free to do so.
