MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE.-{THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were Shr,
estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000 taken for
export and speculation. The market closed very
steadily.. Railway shares were very dull at pre-
-826
vmus prices.
On Wednesday next the further reduction in the
duty on foreign sugar, specified in the Act of 1848,
comes into operation. British colonial remains
charged as before, but 12 months hence will be
equalised with foreign. The abatement on foreign
is 1 per cent. for Muscovado, is. Gd. for brown
clayed, is. 2d. for white ditto, 2s. for refined, and
4d. for molasses.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
to the 25th ult. shows the influence of the advance
in the quarter. The Government balances were
augmented, and, doubtless, stood at their highest
point, as the payments to be met about this time
will speedily have reduced them. The lodgments
of private depositors have been curtailed as they
usually are just previous to dividend time, owing
to the liquidation of duties, 4::c. The employment
of the assets of the Bank does not appear to have
increased. In the amount of the bullion there was
but a slight alteration. Compared with the pre_
vious week, the changes are as follow :

The Bankers' Magazine for July presents a use- 50
ful variety of matter, and the articles upon the
25
winding up of Australian Banks and the pro- 25
ject for a National Bank of New South Wales, de- St.
serve special notice. The recent frauds through
_B4
letters of credit, the anatomy of the errors arising St.
sSot.
from the transposition of figures, and the contem-
plated alteration in the law of cheques, are among
25
the subjects treated.

The accounts from Jamaica state that the yellow
fever was still prevalent among the shipping at 2`5)
Kingston, and deaths were frequent. With respect
50
to the sugar crops in St. Vincent, the accounts
20
are conflicting, but the preponderance of opinion
is decidedly in favour of there being a good harvest. St
New York advices represent the Stock Market at
the latest date as being fluctuating. In flour a
good business was being done at full prices. Wool
was quiet.
The quantity of gold exported from London
direct during the week to Thursday last was 10,100
ounces and 40,0001. The silver exported amounted
to 21,200 ounces. The gold all went to the Conti-
nent.

morning, and the exciting news from the East has St
bad a very injurious effect. Consols have been st 97i to 98, and since 97 ; New Three-and-a- St.

ss. premium ; East India Stock is 262 to 265. 26
Foreign Securities have been generally lower. 13,
Peruvian Bonds are an exception, having been 20'
done at 831, and it is rumoured that the agents of 20
the Government have a large surplus in hand after 50
providing for the dividend due next October. St.
