MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool has been heavy
throughout the week, the decline being *d. per lb. The
sales yesterday were 4,000 bales, and for the week
21,580 bales. Stock 408,010 bales.
Railway Shares were again rather better.
The following are the most interesting changes in the
Bank of England return to the 30th ult., compared with
that to the previous Saturday :
Notes issued now £22,009,-190
Increase
Rest, now
Increase 23,384
Public deposits now 4,696,032
Decrease 70,362
Other deposits now

Seven day and other bills now 931,335

Government Securities 10,613,607
Decrease 286,100
Other Securities now 20,409,897

Notes now
Decrease .
Gold and Silver Coin
Decrease 17,862
Bullion now 8,438,874
Increase
Active circulation now 20,832,750
Increase ... . 514,575
The Bank, it will be seen, was enabled greatly to ex-
tend its advances upon bills, &c., and to make the re-
serve of notes available for the purpose. The increase
in the bullion almost sufficed to meet the enlarged note
issues, and thus, as was anticipated, the confidence
engendered by the knowledge that the Bank possessed
increased powers, has almost rendered them unnecessary.
Notwithstanding this, we should remark, however, that
the Bank has strained too much to demonstrate how
well it can get on without infringing Peel's Bill.
More mishaps are talked of in the West India
trade, but we refrain from entering into any of the cir-
cumstances bruited about by the tale bearers, of whom
there are many in the City eager in their vocation.
We regret to learn that the advices from Manchester
this morning are somewhat of a discouraging character.
There are either four or five failures spoken of, but
we do not hear that they are for any very considerable
amount, separately or aggregately.
The Foreign Exchanges were, upon the whole, steady
yesterday afternoon.
There are no colonial arrivals in the City this
morning.
Consols for the Account are firm at 831, and for Money
at 83i. There have been some good purchases in
money stock, as is said, for parties who have sold out
of the savings' banks, and invested in Consols or Re-
duced, to get an increased rate of interest. The discount
upon Exchequer-bills is 15s. to 12s. Bank Stock holds
up, as well as East India Stock.
More transactions have occurred too in the Foreign
Funds, at the following values:—For Brazilian, 77; for
Mexican, 151; for Old Portuguese, 76; for the Four per
Cents., 201; for Russian, 104 k; for Spanish Five per
Cents., 16k; for the Three per Cents., 26k; the French
Five per Cents., at 115 f. 25c.; and Dutch Four per
Cents. and Four per Cent. Dutch Certificates, tl* 1.
Great Western Railway Shares are up to 109. In
several other of this sort of investment there is more
business doing to-day.
