• MOSEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, the sales
were 4,000 to 5,000 bales. Taking the whole week the
trade has been quiet, and prices have been rather in fa-
vour of buyers.
The Railway Share Market at Liverpool was better
yesterday, more business having been done at fuller rates.
The Bank of England weekly return to the 19th inst.
is important, and presents greater changes than might
have been anticipated. The withdrawal of private ba-
lance 3 was still in progress; and, as before remarked,
under this head, probably on account of harvest pay-
ments, as well as to provide for purchases of foreign corn.
The amount of the precious metals was diminished to a
greater extent than was expected, and so far confirms
our view, that there has been more disposition of late
to speculate in foreign grain. The Government deposits
are rising to an amount which •looks more " respect-
able." The general business of the Bank has been
slightly increased:—

The Chancellor's budget has to-day been the founda-
tion of all the " talk.' among city politicians. Opinions
vary, but it may be affirmed probably without the least
fear of contradiction that no one expected anything very
good. To get off with a deficiency even of two millions
sterling, after alterations in our tariff, of which it was
predicted by monopolists that the result would be
the undoubted loss of five or six millions to the revenue,
and the ruin of our mercantile and agricultural interest
into the bargain, is not so bad after all, especially if it be
borne in mind that reduction of expenditure has not been
carried to anything like the extent it may and ought to
be carried, and that the political convulsions abroad have
not afforded a chance of testing fairly the principles of
free trade. An issue of Exchequer-bills or a creation of
stock in the present easy condition of the money market,
may be effected without occasioning the slightest pres-
sure, and all are pleased that the actual present position
of the Government is made known. What Ireland may
yet require depends upon the 64cloucia."
The Stock Market has been flatter to-day on account
of the new loan, some parties conceiving that there
would be none required. The exports of gold coin, Scc.,
from London direct this week exceed 1,000 ounces, and
those of silver have been nearly 400,000 ounces. Con-
sols have been 85i to 86k for present transfer, and 85k
to 86-1- for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 86i to Exchequer-bills of
March are 335. premium. The continental news this
morning does not road very well.
The Foreign Securities are quieter. Spanish Three
per Cents. are 22i, Portuguese Four per Cents. 20, and
Mexican 164,
Railway Shares have been very tuiet, and generally
at about the previous rates.
