CITY, Two o'CLoCK.

In
the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
7as more inquiry. The sales amounted to 10,000
bales, including 4,000 for export and on specula-
tiola. The Railway Share Market was quiet, and
prices were a shade lower than on Thursday.
The Bank of England return, completed for the
Week ending 17th inst., is more encouraging than
vfor some time previously. The material increase
rti securities is attributable to the loans obtained to
enable parties to subscribe for the New Loan. The
Private deposits were also greatly augmented, and
a favourable addition has taken place in the reserve
°f notes. There is again a slight increase in the
stock of bullion, and as the arrivals of gold from
Australia continue on an extensive scale, it is ex
Peeted that a further improvement in this depart
meat will soon be perceptible.
