The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated
at 5,000 bales. The market was steady but quiet, at previ-
ous rates.—Railway Shares slightly improved.
There is, in the Bank of England weekly statement to the
29th ult., a very important increase under the head of Other
Securities, and as trade has not been active during the pe-
riod included in the return, it is to be assumed that accom-
modation upon stock and Exchequer. bills was more liberally
taken. The public deposits had probably attained the
maximum amount, unless there is a slight further addition
up to this day, when the financial quarter concludes. The
extension of the circulation, and greater use of species, re-
sult from the loans; and possibly the payments for French
shares may have had some influence,. The comparisons with
the previous week are as follow :
