MONEY and COMMEtiCIAL •
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool this week, have been
25,030 bales, and prices have been at about the previous
range. The market has been well supplied, and the
crop in America will no doubt prove adequate to the wants
of Europe.
For Railway Shares at Liverpool yesterday, the market
was rather quiet, but prices were steady.
The amount of specie in the Bank of England was aug-
mented again last week, but the circulation was diminished.
It is satisfactory to find that the public deposits have further
increased to some extent, but the other deposits have
slightly fallen off. The Bank holds a larger amount of Go-
vernment Securities, though it is difficult to say whether this
arises from advances to Government upon the funded or
unfunded debt. The other Securities were rather greater
in amount, and it is usually assumed that this item is
affected by the extent of discount business done. The com-
parison with the previous week is as follows :

The London line of packet-ship Devonshire, Captain Mor-
gan, has arrived off Lymington, from New York, which
port she quitted on the 30th August with a full cargo, and a
fair number of passengers.
The interesting series of wool sales closed last evening, and
during their continuance 37,450 bales were offered. At
the opening, prices ruled heavy, but subsequently a
rally occurred, and the best class fleeces realised
better values. But for this improvement the prices would
have been very unsatisfactory, the supply being in excess
of the wants of the trade. Foreign wools were held back in
consequence. Australian samples sold at 4d. up to Is 10d.,
and 2s; Van Diemen's Land from 6d. to Is. 3d., and ls. 6d;
South Australian from 4d. to is.; Cape from 4d. to ls.; and
New Zealand from 7d. to 11d. per lb.
During the present week there have been exported
direct from London about 88,000 ounces of silver and 523
ounces of gold.
The Funds opened firmly to-day, but received a check
when the news from Paris became known. Consols have
been 86 to 86% for Transfer, and 86% % for Account. Ex-
chequer-bills of March have realised 335. prem. East India
Stock is at 235%.
The only bargains in the Foreign Securities have been in
Equador at 2, in Brazilian Small at 75, and in Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 443/4 to 45.
Railway Shares are rather buoyant again, and should the
chairmen of the leading companies come to any decision
upon the subject of endeavouring to restore confidence in
railway property, we may fairly anticipate a much more
decided improvement.
