COMMERCIAL INT ELL I GENCE.

)ITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of -cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,500 American
taken on speculation. The market was well sup-
plied, and prices fully maintained, but closed
tamely. Railway Shares were firm.
The weekly statement of the Bank of England
to the 2d instant would indicate a great increase
in the demand for money, the other securities being
materially augmented ; but there is, concurrently,
such an addition to the balances of private deposi-
tors that no absolute pressure for money can be
said to have existed. The bullion in both depart-
ments showed a decrease of 267,0531., and the
Turkish loan will probably occasion a further re-
duction ere long. Compared with the previous
week, the changes are as follows :
