CITY, TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, as our daily reports will
have shown, has been in a state of great excitement this
week, and the sales are enormous, amounting to more than
40,000 bales on speculation alone, besides a large quantity to
the trade. The rise in prices is %d. per lb. on American, 1/2d.
on Surat, and 1/2d. on Sea Islauds. In Railway Shares a
fair business had been done at full prices.
The weekly Bank of England account, made up to the
10th inst., is to be noted chiefly on account of the further de-
crease in active circulation and in the discount business re-
presented by other securities, leading again to the conclusion
that the competition of private discounters is keenly felt.
The increase of public deposits will partly account, however,
for the smaller amount of notes out. The comparison with
the previous week is as follows

The foreign accounts occupy chief attention this morning.
Those from America are considered favourable, and from
France and Italy they are rather of a chequered character,
though nut of a nature to excite uneasiness.
