The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been
rather less active, and prices have receded about kd. per
lb. in some cases. This is not an unfavourable feature
in some respects, because it arises chiefly from a tempo-
rary discontinuance of speculation which was running
up prices too fast for the manufacturers. Yesterday the
sales were 5,000 bales. Railway Shares at Liverpool
were not quite so high yesterday, less activity prevailing.
The Bank of England return for the week to the 6th
inst. is generally viewed as of a favourable complexion,
but the banking business of the Corporation had not re-
ceived any extension, probably on account of the cheap-
ness of money out of doors. The sum of the precious
metals was again larger. As regards the other changes,
ascertained by a comparison with the preceding week,
they are not material, and follow the course usual at the
close of the official quarter:—

Most parties are satisfied, after a term of prolonged
dullness, with the business done this week in the general
produce markets, the extent thereof having been con-
siderable, and in the case of Sugar, Coffee, and many
other staples, at improved values. Cotton, however, as
at Liverpool, has been rather duller, having had a good
" spire' lately, and tallow has been heavy of sale. In-
digo and tea sales will be held next week, and wool in
about a fortnight.
The quantity of silver sent from London this week has
been about 12,000 ounces.
The Stock Market has risen again, the arrangements
for the settlement next Tuesday appearing to indicate a
