MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK,

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterclaYW;r3e;ti-
mated at 8 000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for ex-
port and on :ptcularion. The market was steady and
closed firmly.—Railway Shares were fiat at much lower
prices.

The weekly statement of the Bank of England to the
9th inst. is not important in regard to the changes that
occurred. The Government account was increasing,
and already looks well. The other deposits were smaller,
showing that money was scarce upon the whole, although
io might be only temporarily wanted in particular chan-
nels. The other securities increased, and this we usually
put down to a movement in discounts. The great in-
crease iu the deposits threw back a portion of the notes,
and thus circumscribed the active circulation. The
amount of bullion increased a little. Contrasted with the
previous week, the results are as follow:
Notes Issued 27,341,085
