MONEY and COMMERCIAL
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE.
The Liverpool Cotton Market was quiet yesterday',
' and closed heavily. The sales were 4,000 bales, all • o
the trade. Railway Shares were very fiat, and not much
was doing. Prices were drooping.
• The West India accounts are not very satisflctozy.
but there is little in the letters beyond what appesrs in
another column.
• The billion of the Bank of England, in consequence of
a withdrawal of private deposits—those of bankers and
capitalists connected with Ireland and foreign parts pro
14131 Y—was last week diminished, while the Bank has
been unable to extend its Active issues, such is the
general inertness of trade comparatively with the supply
of money. The Government balances have been lessened
again; but whether to redeem deficiency bills can only
be surmised. The weekly statement to July 29, com-
pared with the previous return, exhibits the folio wing

The value of the imports into New York for the first
two weAs in July in each of the past three years was as
follows: •

1846. 1847. 1848.
Dollars. Dollars. Dollars.
July Ito 14 inc1u5ive...2,445,419 4,443,325 3,117,576
" For the two weeks in this year the imports have
been 1,325,749 dolls. less than for the same weeks in
1847. This looks very well, and it will be better if they
• continue to fall off at the -same rate for the next six
weeks." • This is the opinion of an American writer,
Who is apprehensive that tho balance of trade will be
greatly against his country.
The coiatinental advises still occasion some excite-
Inent. Scarcely any definite opinion can be founded
upon them, but there is a prevalent feeling that affairs
are critical, and that nothing but concession on all sides
can Prevent war on a larger scale than at present.
In respect to Limburg the accounts received to-day
are of a very unfavourable character, and the Dutch
Government seems resolved to maintain its claim to the
Duchy. It will be observed, by reference to the Par-
liamentary debates in another column of The Sun, that
queations•will next week be put to Lord Palmerston,
both as respects Limburg and Sardinia.
The Funds have been depressed again. They opened
at 87/I- i for Consols, but the Chancery broker became a
' seller, and the-renewed rain served to flatten the market.
Exchequer-bills are 355. -to 38s. premium for those of
June,beeB 7i o.
Thet New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
871,.and the Three per Cents. 86i to 874.
In the Foreign Market there has not been a single
bargain, except in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at
431. Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 214 to I;
Portuguese Four ner Cents 18 to 19; and Mexican,
174 to 3 - .f
Railway Shares have been fiat again, and there is a
gloom hanging over the market.
