MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CIT Y. QUART ER TO THREE.

In the early part of ti.e week the demand for Cotton
at Liverpool was animated, the trade and exporters buy-
ing freely; and op to Wednesday prices (1 Auarrean
advknced -h 1. per lh. Subsi quently there has been a de.
tided cit-•cthge for the worse. The market closed heavily
yesterday at previous. quotations, Exporters have taken
3,190 American, 1,730 Pernams, -and 50 Surat; and
Pp,eul,tors 3,630 American, and 40 Surat. Railway

Tie B rk of England has stun. eded at last in ohtaln-
ini.f. a irttli, more employment feriits assets, and this is
stJ,an by an ircre:se of circulation and securiti,s, and
a diminution id private deposits, concurrently with a
re duction of bullion and non s unemplo) ed. The time of
year is arrived when we naturally expect still greater
development in this respect. The following is a com-
parison of last weeks return with the preceding state-
ment :

The foreign exchanges were steady yesterday after-
noon, but as may be supposed in the present state of
Continental affairs, there was not much doing. Bills on
Antwerp were negotiated at 25 671 to 70, on Ram-
burgh at 13 111 to 12k, on Paris at '.5 50 to 55, and on
Trieste at 11 42 to 45.
The amount of bills drawn by the Bait India Com-
pany, from April 24 to May 5, was 43,478/.
The exports of the precious metals from London dur-
ing the week to Thursday last were as follows:—Silver
coin, to Rotterdam 4,000 oz., Boulogne 304 z , Belgium
45,400 oz.; silver bar 4. to Copenhag. n 290:600 oz., and
Boulogne 1,616 oz. Gold coin, to Bilgium 263 oz., and
Hamburgh 350 oz.
The accounts from Manchester as to the state of trade,
are by no means so favourable, and the Itiian demand
alone keeps the market a little in play.
From Halifax we are advised that " We have no
alteration to report in the piece and yirn markets since
last week's statements, and not much in the wool busi-
ness. In the latter there have been rather more inqui-
ries, bearing chiefly, however, upon the finer descrip-
tions of combing, prices of which are comparatively

Toe N ot tirl,harn market is thus &scribed:—

" The turnout of the wrought cotton hose workmen
has become general in the counties of Notiieghtim,
_ _

Derby, and Leicester. It is computed and asserted that
12,000 stockingers are now upon strike. The dtawer,
pantaloon, and shirt trade, so important to Nottingham,
is still pretty good. The glove trade, both silk and
cotton, is brisk, and the workmen, though fermerly
subject to great disputes,_ are now quite passive, bud go
on smoothly. The silk knotted trade, after a struggle of
veral weeks with the master stockingers, in which the
Maus.fielti neglected to assist the bottom hands, have b, en
compelled to support the high profit and charges."
We find nothing of prominent interest in tne foreign
commercial accounts received to-day.

being of R. nature to inspire caution. Consuls have
realised 90i R for Money, and 901 to 91 for Account.
