CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6 000 bales. The market closed steaJily.—ln
Railway Shares very little business was done.
There were, during the week to the 13th instant,
many important alterations in the items of the Bank of
England account. The bullion increased considerably
again, and without anything like a corresponding ex-
tension of the circulation, and with a positive reduction
of leans or discounts. A reasoa, however, for the notes
of the Corporation being thrown beck upon it is that the
public treasury is paying in large sums as the quarter
draws on. Compared with the previous week, the
changes are as follows:

The monthly circulation returns for England, Ireland,
and Scotland, made up to the 29th ult., may be thus
stated :-Benk of England, 19.571,3971, Private Banks
3,498,7621., Joint Stock 2,783,1901, Scotland 3,520,4591.,
aid Ireland 4,848,406/. This, compared with the pre-
vious month, shows a reduction in the circulation of all
the English banks, but an addition to both the Scotch
and Irish issues. The circulation was 461,2541. above
the amount towards the end of November, 1850.
The "Banking Almanack and Directory for 1852" has
been compieted, and besides the usual general informa-
tion gives the banking statistics of the year, a list of
private and joint stock establishments corrected up to
the present date, with the London agents, and the names
of foreign bankers. The circulation of all the joint
stock banks is made up with great care, and the follow-
ing list is very useful for reference, being the dividends
paid by bankrupt bankers since October, 1850:-

The rates for Bills of Exchange were yesterday after-
noon for the most part very firm. Bills on Paris were
negotiated at 25 40 to 45, and on Antwerp at 25 35 to
371, being a slight advance. Amsterdam was very firm;
Hamburgh barely so good, 13 94 to 101, and Trieste de-
clined to 12 40 to 45.
The letters received to day from Yorkshire and Lan-
cashire represent trade as having been brisker.
The exportation of bullion direct from Loudon, during
the week ending Thursday last, has been limited to
silver, viz , 172,900 ounces, but from Southampton there
will be a considerable sum also taken out to-day in the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer to Alexan-
dria, Ceylon, and Calcutta.
The arrival of the Asia steamer from Boston, with
62,000/., is telegraphed.
The Stock Market is firmer this morning, but without
any increase of business. Console have been at 964
and are now 96k to 97. Exchequer-bills realise 48s. to
51s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 981 to I. The favourable accounts
from Paris have still a good effect.
Foreign Stocks are quiet. Mexican have been done
at 27, and are now 261 to If. Peruvian Deferred Bonds
have been 464. Equador are at 3. Spanish Five per
Cents. are called 20k to 21; and the Three per Cents.
394 to 404. Dutch Four per Cents. bring 891 to 4.
Railway Shares have been steady generally, and
prices are a shade better in one or two instances. Fo-
reign Shares aro scarcely to high.
Gold Mines are nominally dearer, especially Agua
Fria.
