CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales. The sales of the week have
been 28,650 bales. Railway Shares had been flatter,
with rather a declining market.
The Bank of England returns for the week to the
Ist instant are not essentially different from those of the
last few weeks. The active circulation increases as
slowly as ever, while the reserves of bullion and notes
are augmented in nearly a triple ratio. The public
deposits have very little advanced, and the other secu-
rities have not increased to any amount worth noticing
under the stimulus of the reduced rate of interest. The
comparison with the previous statement is as follows:
Notes issued 27,646,505

The continental advices are again rather favourable
respecting the state of the different Money Markets,
but the greatest commercial benefit to be anticipated
is from the armistice between Denmark and Germany.
There needs, indeed, some impetus to our flagging
trade, since the returns of the five months' exports to
June 5, exhibit a falling off of 24 millions sterling upon
the principal articles of British manufacture.
The Stock Market is not looking quite so good this
morning, although the foreign news seems favourable.
The state of the account must, however, be taken as the
principal cause of any fluctuation that may occur from
this to the settlement. As was to be expected there is
no surplus amount at the disposal of the National Debt
Commissioners,. The weather is rather uncertain, and
although generally favourable may check invest-
ments. Consols have been 87f to 864 for
present transfer, and 874 to 87 for August.
Exchequer-bills have been 325. to 355. premium, and
India Bonds 20s. to 225. premium. Bank Stock is 191
to 193. New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. are 87} to
4 The amount of bullion exported direct from London
during the week ending the 7th inst. was 218,000
ounces of silver, and 2,432 ounces of gold.
Spanish Active Bonds have been 114 to 12, and the
Three per Cents. 21i to 22. Mexican Bonds are 174,
and Grenada, 124. Brazilian for Account are 69.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 44i to 45.
Railway Shares are much the same as yesterday. The
French lines have been rather firmer.
