CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton-market at Liverpool was flat again yesterday.
Sales of the week, 19,860 bales. Stock now 449,840 bales
against 857,370 bales at this time last year. The consump-
tion this 'ear has fallen off nearly one-half—say by 95,000
bales, while the imports are 56,000 bales less. The Share
market at Liverpool yesterday was very dull.
The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Dimond
and Co., was very well attended, and much more business
done than usual, at about the same prices as last sale. The
following are a few of the principal sales

There are no arrivals to-day with news of any importance
and the progress of the debate on Lord George Bentinck's
Bill seems to occupy chief attention, and not even the argu-
ments of such practical men as Mr. Hudson and Mr. Chaplin
convince many here. The employment which railway works
would furnish in Ireland would, it is contended, be too par-
tial The changes in the Bank of England balance-sheet

It will be observed, therefore, that the directors have
strengthened themselves in the banking department by an
appropriation from the notes issued, and that they
are diminishing their • liabilities in the issue depart-
ment to more than the extent of the reduction in
their bullion, which we hope ere long to see partially checked,
although the exchanges continue adverse at present, and a

good deal of silver has left England again this week. Ire-
land will prove as great a drain in this respect as the Con-
tinent, though it is to the Continent we now specially allude.
The Stock Market presents a trifling improvement.
Consols are 903 i to 90% for transfer next week, and 901
to 9034 for account. Exchequer-bills continue at ss. to Bs.
premium. Bank Stock is worth 203%. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 92% to 92%.
In the foreign house the transactions have been of very
minor interest. Spanish Five per Cents. realise 243 i, and
the Three per Cents. 35. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
been quoted 341 A. Mexican Bonds are worth 22. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 581.
Shares have been without much alteration. Northern of
France are better.
On the Landon New Stock and Share Exchange, Old
Broad-street, the business during the week has been fluc-
tuating, and in the scrip of the various conveyance schemes
almost nil from the resolution of tke committee not to en-
courage any except of a bona-fide character. The scrip of
the Parcel Post Company, however, just now seems to be a
favourite in this locality.
