MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO 0 CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 bales. The market was steady and
closed with a better tone.—Railway Shares were buoyant,
and a large lubiness was dote in all the principal stocks,
but the market closed rather easier.
The business of the Bank of England does not in-
crease, neither is there any indication of an augmented
demand for money, if we take the weekly return of
that establishment, made up to the Bth instant. The
note circulation felt off considerably, notwithstanding a
withdrawal of other deposits, the addition made to the
public deposits outweighing that item. The loans and
discounts were curtailed, and the unemployed assets
were larger. There was some diminution in the bul-
lion, but not of an amount to cause the least uneasiness,
unless we are to assume that it will go on steadily in the
same direction, which is unlikely. Compared with the
previous week, the results are as follows :
Notes Issued ... 27,638,220
Decrease. ... 66,293
... 3,239,356
Increase ... 4,243

Active Circulation... 19,175,085

The circulation of notes by all the banks in the United
Kingdom was, during the four weeks to the 25th Ja-
nuary last, as follows:
Bank of. England X 19,588,372 increase £1,074,336
Private ditto . . 3,573 320 ~ 122,638
Joint-stock ... 2,728,640 „ 43,340
Scotch ... 3,252,485 decrease 93,164
Irish ..• ... 4,782,651 „ 74,305
The comparison here instituted is with the month to
the 28th December last.
No decided alteration occurred yesterday afternoon in
the rates for bills of exchange upon the principal conti-
nental cities.

Rest

The advices from India by the overland express bear
an unfavourable construction in respect to commercial
affair?. Money was scarce, and some of the native mer-
chants had suspended. We cannot avoid repeating on
this occasion the opinion we have so often before ex-
pressed, that there is still a manifest want of caution in
tho conduct of our East India trade. The excessive
competition, or long credits, drive numerous parties into
the dilemma of either giving up business or doing it

frequently at a loss, in the hope of a favourable turn at
a subsequent period. This system is obviously perni-
cious, and must with the weaker ones end disetrously.
Many of the stronger are occasionally compelled to
succumb. The tendency is to overload the eastern
markets with our fabrics, which'accordingly fall in price,
and to aggravate the evil we buy the produce of the
Indies beyond the price that it will realizs in England.
NO better term could be applied to this course than that

it is burning the candle at both ends. If there were
less of the credit system, the fallacy of such proceedings
might be better understood.

The letters from the textile manufacturing districts
notice duller markets this week.

The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor having con-
sented to preside, and the proprietors of the Hall of
Commerce having liberally offared th.-ir splendid hall
for the use of the merchants, the public meeting to con-
sider the subject of tribunals of commerce will be held
at the ball on Wednesday next, the 19th inst. The fol-
lowing Members of Parliament have joined the com-
mittee, of which Lord Wbarncliffe is the President:—Sir
James Duke, Bart, Robert J. Torment, Esq., John
M•Gregor. Esq., Anbur Anderson, E‘q , John Williams,
Esq, William Scholefi‘ld, .Esq., Jacob Bell, Esq., and
J. Lewis Ricardo, Esq.
The exports of silver from Landon this week and up
to Thuraduy, were 34,528 ounces, and of gold 10,0001
and 5,000 cz., the first named metal to Madras and Bel-
gium, and the latter to the Cape of Good Hope and
Dunkirk.

The Funds are somewhat firmer, but there is not
much doing. Consols have realised 96f 1 for Transfer
and 961 1 fur Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 981 to 99, and the Three per Cents.
971 to f. Nothing has beon done in Bank or India
Stocks. Exchequer-bills hare been quoted at 525. to
as., and India Bonds 60s. to 635. premium.

The Foreign Investments have been quite neglected.
Spanish Five per Cent?. have been dull at 19i. Mexi-
can Bonds have been quoted 33k, and Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. 80i. Brazilian Small Bonds have
been done at 93f.
Railway Shares are' in some cases rather easier to
buy, but we notice a rally in East Lancashire, Eastern
Counties, North-Western, and one or two others, and
,he general tone is very firm.
