MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull,
and prices were in some instances *d. per lb. lower.
The sales of the week are 20,600 bales, and were yester-
day 3.000 to 4,000 bales. Shares were better, and a
further improvement was expeoced.
The features in the Bank of England statement of
liabilities and assets fbr the week to the 14th inst. are
these :

Notes issued £22,565,900
Decrease 49,040
Rest, decrease
Public deposits
Increase - 30,904

Other deposits, increase
Seven day and other bills, decrease 26,449
Government Securities, increase ... 75,000
Other securities, increase 594,842
Notes reserved, decrease
Bullion .
Decrease 99,936
Active circulation 18,235,855
Increase
The return indicates, consequently, a more active
banking business, induced by the renewal of loans and
discounts to more than the extent of the reduction which
took place in the previous week; and for this purpose,
it may be assumed, both the bullion and the reserve of
notes has been made available. The Bank had loaned
upon stock as well as commercial bills, and will no doubt
pursue this course until about the end of the present
month, when the advances will have to be to the Bank,
in order to meet the dividends.
The Money Market is rather light on account of the
large amount of bills usually falling due on the fourth,
and the instalment paid yesterday on the 8,000,000/,
loan has also absorbed some of the surplus cash. The
assistance by the Bank, therefore, is very opportune.
Besides the failure of M. Roux at Paris for 100,0001.,
there are rumours of houses here being in difficulties,
but which we can trace to no positive foundation yet.
Even if correct, the fact could hardly be announced
where there is a hope of bills being paid before the close
of banking hours.
In the Funds there is very little animation to-day.
Cousols, however, have improved a little since the open-
ing, being now 871 for transfer, and 88 to . for time.
Bank Stuck is marked 197, and India Stock 241. The
New Three- and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 89} to
The Foreign Investments are quite neglected. No-
minally Portuguese Stock is rather better, viz., 241 to
251. and Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 30.
Brazilian Small Bonds are at 85. Austrian Stock is at
1051; Dutch Four per Cents. are at 891.
Railway Shares are for the most part tolerably well
supported, although there is not a great deal doing.
