MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull.
Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales. The market was largely
supplied, but no change in prices occurred. The sales
for the week are 25,800 bales, stock 500,736 bales.
The returns from the Bank of England are highly
satisfactory with regard to the power of the establishment
to transact all the business that may offer, but except
that it has made rather more loans upon public securi-
ties, it does not appear either by the circulation or the
bills under discount—other securities, that the transac-
tions had increased. The reduction this week in the
rate may, perhaps, have the desired effect. The deposits
on account of the public exchequer are still increasing.

The foreign and colonial arrivals to-day
are of very
little interest.
The quantity of gold exported from London this week
is 3,680 ounces, and of silver 430,070 ounces.
The proposals for the relief of the West India colo-
nies have been canvassed freely in the City, but as there
was not much expected, the disappointment is propor-
tionably small. Indeed, it has become impossible to
satisfy all parties, and it is scarcely practicable in the
difficulties of our financial position to content any.
There is scarcely any business doing in the Stock
Exchange, and prices are not quite so well maintained.
Consols with the dividend have been 844, but being a
special transfer this is hardly a criterion. Without the
half-year's interest the quotation has been 834
5. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 395. to 41s. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 844 to 4.
Not half-a-dozen bargains have been entered into in
the Foreign market. Mexican are firm at 164 4, Chilian
at 794, and Brazilian at 67.
Railway shares are steady, but not higher.
