MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has improved
about id. per lb. on the superior qualities of American, and
id. on other sorts. The stock is 476,440 bales, against
816,630 bales at this time last year. Railway Shares were
firm, though quiet, yesterday.
The following are the most interesting points in the return
from the Bank of England for the week to March 20:—
Notes issued £24,487,935
Decrease ... ... 298,405

Rest, increase ... 9,416
Public Deposits, decrease ... 244,539
Other Deposits, increase ... 426,299
Seven day and other Bills, increase 46,165
Other Securities, increase ... 292,162
Notes, decrease 135,395
Bullion ... 11,231,630
Decrease ... 217,831
The Bank bas, according to the above statement, reduced
its active circulation about 163,0001., but as, in order to keep
;:p the amount of the paper out, the amount of the notes lett
unemployed in the banking department is again reduced,
there is an impression that the corporation, unless a change
takes place, must limit its discounts. We do not anticipate
this result, becau,e the bullion from France will now gra-
dually be brought back, and the grain markets are receding
steadily. With respect to the stock of bullion, a decrease
was to be expected under the circumstances.
There is nothing in the advices from the Cape of Good
Hope to the 22,1 of January, to weaken the impression ex-
cited by the previous accounts, as to the speedy conclusion
of the Kafir war. Truly it has been a wearisome and costly
conflict for the border colonists, and one 'which hill leave
behind losses that cannot be retrieved for many years. Some
of the farmers, though stout of heart yet, are described as
having suffered mentally :,nd physically to such an extent as
to have the appearance of being ten years older than before
the war commenced.
The English securities although steady to-day have not
been buoyant. Consols realised 891/s % for present transfer,
and 894 % for account. Exchequer-bills have been at par
to 3s. premium. East India Stock has been marked 247112.
The foreign investments have been very dull. Spanish
Five per Cents. 23, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 34%.
Grenada Bonds have realised 20, and Yenezula 401/2. Lut.h
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59 to 1/4.
Shares have been rather fluctuating, but generally are held
for full rates.

The Belgian Government has just authorised a
company of merchants to establish at Liege a manufactory
of fulminating cotton on a very large scale. "Phis is, we be-
lieve, the first marufactory of the kind which has been yet
established; and it has already produced a considerable quan-
tity of the cotton.
