MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, including 1,000 on speculation.
In the usual return, issued by the Bank of England, the
following was the more important changes in the various
departments, as compared with last week's statements. An
increase in the notes issued of 287,0151., or to 27,993,880/.
A decrease in the Rests of 47,1581. The public De-
posits show an increase of 419,4571., now amount-
ing to 5,228,6401. In the other deposits there
is an increase to 16,165,6201. In the amount of bullion there
is an augmentation rather over 14,608,0971., or more by
423,421/. Upon the whole, the present return may be con-
sidered as a very favourable one, as respects the state of the
currency. With the present favourable appearance of the
growing crops, and the stock of foreign grain on hand,
stated at over two millions of quarters, there cannot be any
sudden derangement of the circulation of the Bank of Eng-
land or its branches; unless, indeed, the weather should be
such in the autumn as to damage the crops, which are now
represented, from all sections of the United Kingdom, as
being most luxuriant and promising.
There have not • been any arrivals from the Colonies to-
day of late dates.
The market for Consols is very firm this morning at 97
buyers and sellers ex. div. There have been a few private
bargains in the Three per Cent. Consols for the first transfer
day next week at 961 A with the dividend. The premium
upon Exchequer-bills has fluctuated from 16s. to 225. Bank
Stock at 20534.
About half-a-dozen bargains have been transacted in the
Foreign Securities this morning. The Spanish Three per
Cents. have remained at 57%, the Mexican Deferred at 17%,
Chilian Deferred at 50%, and Belgian Four per Cents.
at 96%.
The Railway Share market is again in a dull state, and
business is very slack indeed.
