The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were !"00.
mated at 2 000 to 2,500 bales, of which 300 Ameri •

done at considerably higher prices.
It is understood that, as far as public sales are -
corned, to-morrow will be a holiday in Mincing-lapeies'
Summing up the affairs of the month, the Ban 'few
Magazine states:—" We have comparatively very ,
changes to report this month. The Money Marko,:
all its departments, has been characterised by extr,no
quietness, and prices have, of course, been steady.
rate of discount for good bills may be called 2i to

dency, perhaps, for the moment, to lower rates. Barn°
have been current during the month of an intentions 00
.
the part of the Bank directors, to advance their t 010,,,
mum rate beyond its present limit of 3 per ca diet., Ol
contemporary stated, on the 19th April, that at
meeting of the Bank directors, on the 17th instlos
the proposal for an increased rate Nvfas the
by only one vote. The excitement le the
Railway Share Market seems to have for
present subsided. There has been no p°i oi
decline of prices, however, and generally no signs
doom
violent reaction. According to the quoted exebsl3s-..?
bullion cannot be exported at a profit, and our conte/O
porary states very truly that the Exchange brokers 11„%i
been perplexed to account for the diminution of btlll
in the Bank, while the rates of exchange remain at o
present quotation. We think the reason we "„--ent
stated will, at least in part, explain the 11)4;
weekly diminution in the Bank's stock Of etiist
but we must continue to warn our readers s". 00
many things are far more improbable than Per",,..10
an early advancement of the Bank rate beyond tribe •
per cent.; for it will be seen by a comparison of
present returns of the Bank, with those for the c°1."10
sponding period of last year, that the stock of gold ~`;"0,0 •
in the Bank's coffers is now upwards of three nth;
and a half less than in March, 1850. tb still
" The dull state of trade, noticed by us last mon 00 ~:'
continues. At Manchester the want of activity see
to be clearly traceable, in the main, to the extreree;s
certainty which hangs over the Cotton market. to
manufacturers have strong reasons to suppose that
increased supply of Cotton will lower its price,,
hence they are most reluctant to extend their 01).fbe •
dons in any way at present. There is no avoiding try
conclusion, however, that throughout the entire enOPthe '
the people are holding back their expenditure for
_,,,
time of the Exhibition, and it is probable that the 9'1,1
tivity of the summer trade will compensate for tiler 4
tial slackness of that of the spring.•
" The statement made of a forgery having been elloi
mitted, and stuck sold out under it to the amento ;
10,0001., is not quite correct. No forgery has
nourpf
committed, but a trustee has made away with Pr°l„,lo
which did not belong to him. It was sold out in bill ",
name and misapplied; but as he was the only tr°l:tool
there was no occasion to commit a forgery. The g oce ,
party does not reside in the metropolis, and the traysr.
Lion was carried on through a country bank and its c!,0,..
respondent in London. The London bank which nhesio ir •
Mated the transfer, and the Bank of England, will ';00
escape harmless ; but it is doubted whether the 0.0.
try bank will escape, as it may be involved in 1)e," •
niary transactions with the culprit, which may me
responsible to some extent to the party defrauded." 40
