Nothing was done in the 4iverpool Cotton
Ittikat Yesterd4,4l-iicii was ObserVed as a cl9se
holiday in all departments of btisitiesk' :
As there have been no public sales. of foreign
and colonial produce during the last two days, the
Mincing-lane markets this week have -necessarily
been dull. Prices have been firmly supported,
however; "for most staples, and sugar has ruled
rlther dearer. - At the' wool sale 4 there las been
less firmness;: but no material decline in the quo-
tations has occurred. .

resolution was passed adopting the report.
The reduction made by the Directors of the
Bulk of England, yesterday, in .the minimum
rate of discount, has been freely ;commented
upon in 'City circles, and although most par
.i.es were unprepared for such a. speedy and '

important change, there is a general feel-
ing of satisfaction that the monetary condition
of the country hag suffi6ieutly iuiproved to justify
thtl alteration., Many blatne the authorities iu
Threadueedle-street for adopting the measure re-
ferred to on a partial holiday, such as yesterday
Mithiubtcdly was, but when it is remembered that,
owing to the reduced value of money "out of
doors," the Bank of England for some days past has

transacted scarcely any loan or discount business,
no surprise can be felt at the course adopted. The
effect of the measure on all branches of trade will
be highly favourable, and an important stimulus
Will be given to the general prosperity of the coun-
try. The rate of money on call is reduced from 5
to 4 per cent.
