MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady,
and the sales for the week have been 54,490 bales. The
stock is 474,370 bales, against 766,060 bales at this time
last year. The advance in American sorts this week is
about id. per lb.—Railway Shares were in demand again.
There was a better demand for shares yesterday at the
sale of Railway Shares by Messrs. Lamond and Co.,
and prices have improved considerably. The following
are a few of the principal sales:—
East Indian
Great Luxembourg
Shrewsbury and Birmingham (B) 2 7 0
Shropshire Union and Canal 2 3 0

London and Blackwell, No. 1
Newport and Abergavenny
Eastern Counties. York Extension 6 14 0
North Staffordshire
South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 7 6
The Bank of England return for the week ending the
19th instant is of a favourable character, and in respect
to trading matters appears to exhibit signs of an increas-
ing demand for money:—
Notes issued £23,632,575

Other deposits, decrease
Seven-day and other bills, decrease 17,655

The active circulation was curtailed again by 250,0601.,
owing to the additional amount taken to the credit of the
banking department, but upon the payment of the divi-
dends, we should rather anticipate an extension of the
note circulation, because the quarterly settlements by
parties indebted to the revenue will then be nearly ar-
ranged.
The only ship arrival to-day with later accounts is
from New York to the 9th inst. The exchange was
somewhat flatter. Money was still very easy.
The English Funds have been very buoyant again
to-day, and there is a further rise of to + per cent.
Consols realise 88i s. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 90i 4. Bank Stock is at 195 to
196 f. Exchequer-bills are 7s. to 9s. prem.
There is not much doing in the Foreign Funds.
Spanish Three per Cents. realise, 34f and Portuguese
Four per Cents., 32. In Dutch, Mexican, &c., there
have been no transactions.
A reference to the Railway Share list will show that
nearly throughout there has been an improvement in the
quotations.
