3iONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000
bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on specula-
tion.— In Railway Shares a moderate business was done
at higher price s.
The weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of England to
Saturday last conteias further interesting changes. The
circulation was increased again, both a; regards notes
and bullion, by the continuance of dividend and official
payments; and from the same cause the public deposits
were lessened. In the Other Secutities there was a great
reduction, which would ostensibly show a diminution of
activity in the mercantile world, or a plethora of money,
but we believe neither conclusion would be accurate, and
that the cause of the alteration is simply the repayment
of loans made while the transfer books were closed. A
comparison with the previous week gives the following
results:—

The Foreign Exchanges were negotiated yesterday
afternoon, for 90 days' bills, at 25.75 to 80 on Antwerp;
being firm at 13.131 to 14 on Hamburgh, being a shade
higher; at 1221 on Frankfort, also dearer; at 25.671 to
721 on Paris, which are barely previous rates, at 10.55 to
58, also a slight decline, and at 12.211 to 31, being the
same as last post day.
The exports of the precious metals from London this
week have been 127,000 ounces of silver, and 160 ounces
and 2,8001. in gold.
The accounts received this morning from the manu-
facturing districts are satisfactory, but there has been
scarcely so much activity as there was last week.

Railway Shares look well again, and a good business
is doing. Caledonian, Great Western, Midland, South
Western, and Brighton, are higher.
The general railway traffic of England exhibits for the
past week an improvement compared with the corre-
sponding date of 1848, but there is the increased mileage
to ba brought into account. This mileage is not yet
sufficiently worked to be reasonably expected to yield a
return at all adequate to the trunk roads. Of 48 lines,
including all the great undertakings, we find that 26
had, as per last weekly return, an augmented traffic, the
Irish being deficient with one exception, viz., the Belfast
and Ballymena. There are several lines which cannot
be compared, because of having been opened only since
last year. The French railways have all to a great ex-
tent regained their lost traffic.
