MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
firmer. Sales, 3,000 bales, making 15,160 for the week.
Shares were heavy again.
There has been a meeting of Messrs. Gower's credi-
tors to-day, and the estate shows assets that will give
about 53. in the pound, entirely independent of the
Mauritius properties. The total liabilities are 450,8321.
The American accounts are satisfactory, and have
imparted a better feeling to-day. The details appear in
another column.

The state of the Bank of England accounts is such as
might have been expected upon the eve of the dividend
payments, and the necessary contraction of loans to meet
them. It is apparent in the weekly retuln to Saturday
last, that the amount of other securities, upon which re-
payments have been demanded, was insufficient to pro-
vide the funds for the dividends, and the reserve of new
notes had to be diminish: dby 691,5851. The active cir-
culation was extended. The Government securities were
diminished on account, probably, of the disinclination of
the Bank to prolong loans upon stock. The " rest" has
been trenched upon by the dividend on Bank stock.
The following arc the features in the return:—
