MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was flat.
Sales 3.000 balel=, including 400 to 500 for export,
without alteration in prices. Railway shares were very
quiet, and there was no disposition to buy or sell.
It is stated in the Liverpool advices that the high
price of money, the dullness of trade at Manchester, and
the numerous failures, keep down the cotton market,
but we feel rather surprised that prices have so
long been maintained. The stock is 395,440 bales,
against 731,050 bales at this time last year.
The features in the Bank of England statement of
liabilities and assets for the week to the 4th inst. are
these : _ _

Note-, issued £22,396,845
Decrease 169,055
Rest, increase 302,390
Public deposits
Increase 528,964
Other deposits, decrease
Seven day and other bills, increase 53,001
Government Securities, decrease ... 75,000
Other securities, increase
Notes reserved, decrease
Bullion .
Decrease 180,745
Active circulation 18,207,015
Decrease 28.840
The items above given appear at first sight as those
presented on former occasions, to be somewhat inexplic-
able, because, although the Bank had greatly extended
its advances,: its active circulation of notes payable on
demand was not quite so large, nor would even the extra
amount of bullion paid out account for the facilities
afforded by the Bank. The Public Deposits would, it is
presumed, give 528,0001., the notes reserved 140,0001.,
and the Government Securities and Seven-day and other
bills, the remaining sums needed to make the additional
advances, amounting to 796,932/., upon hills of exchange,
&c. The account altogether shows the Bank to have
ample resources, and such as will probably come into
fuller play after the dividends are paid.
There was an improvement yesterday afternoon in
the rates of exchange upon Paris, Antwerp, and Am-
sterdam, while upon Hamburgh the quotations were
fully supported.
The core trade is still agitated by failures both here
and in the sister kingdoms, but other branches of trade
are going on tolerably, all things considered. There is
a statement abroad of an eminent discount house having
been forged upon.
The tunds are depressed again to day, but very little
has been done either in sales or purchases. Consols are
marked 86i to 87 for present transfer, and 87+ to j for
October. Exchequer-bills have declined to 6s. and 3s.
