MONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotten at Liverpool yesterday did n,t
exceed 3,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was
quiet.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was
dono at rather lower prices.
The Bank of England account is undergoing rapid
changes. During the week to the 17th instant the
Active circulation fell off materially, while the assets,
especially bullion and public deposits, were increasing.
The addition made to the last-named item is particularly
gratifying, and speaks well for the revenue. The dis-
count business of the Corporation is shown to hare 'ur-
tl.er diminished. Compared with the previous week,
the following are the results :
