T El SUN,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
gat. Sales 3,500 bales, making 22,430 bales for the
week. Railway Shares were not quite so good, but
there was very little stock offering.
The Bank of England return to the 13th inst. presents
most satisfactory features. The Bank is now so far
gaining strength, and has such a fair proportion of assets
to liabilities, that there can no longer be any doubt of
the expediency of reducing the rate of discounts. In-
deed the diminution of the " other securities" shows that
trade will not flourish while money is so dear, and that
as engagements run out, there will not be a renewal. The
bullion is now steadily augmenting, and the national re-
ceipts look better under tho head of public deposits,
thanks, probably, to the pressing collection of taxes,
The following aro the features in the return :

It is represented in a morning Comtemporary, that:the
East India Company had applied to the directors of the
Bank of England for the loan of 2,000,0001., and that
8 per cent, was demanded, which was demurred to. We
are in a position to contradict the assertion, which
originated, we are assured, in a stock-jobbing quarter,
so that the market for Consols might be influenced.
The General Steam Navigation Mail Packet arrived
this morning from Hamburgh, bringing on freight
200,0001. in half Imperials (gold), on account of the
Russian Government. It is stated that more is coming.
The private accounts from the West Indies are most
distressing. Bankruptcy appears to await the colony in
its whole extent. Estates were put up for sale, but there
were not any buyers to be found, and a degree of des
pendency prevailed such as never was before witnessed.
In the City this, morning, we regret to learn that very
serious apprehensions are entertained that one or two
firms will be announced as bankrupt before the close of
the day.
_
Soon after the commencement of business in the Stock
Market a party, Mr. John Williams, was declared a
defaulter. The differences are calculated at about
20,0004 He was a Bear, and his account having to be
bought in, the market for Consols was run up to 84g.
Since, however, the prices have become flat at
84, the value b.eing just now i per cent. higher
for the Account. Consols for Money have only
fluctuated from 84* to 84i, the former being
the nearest quotation now. The price upon Exchequer-
bills is at 3s. discount, and of India Bonds under 1,0001.
at 20s. to 30s. discount. A single bargain has been
Made in Bank Stock at 188.
In PortugUese Four per Cents. there has been a pur-
chase at 21f ; in Spanish Five per Cents. at 17 to 16i ;
and in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 54 to 541.
The Railway Share Market is not buoyant to-day.
Purchases are made with hesitation, and prices very
variable.
