MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK

The ,Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
without any change, with a fair demand. The
Bales were about 8,000 bales, including 2,000 for
"Port and on speculation. The Railway Share
Market was steady, and prices advanced to I per
cent. .

The Blnk of England return, completed for the
week e'nded. Bth March, is not generally considered
fatourable, although there is a large increlse in
the reserve notes, and a diminution in the other
securities. The bullion, notwithstanding the re-
eeot arrivals of the precious metals from Australia,
bas been reduced ; and from the falling off of the
Private deposits, it would appear that parties have
Provided themselves with means to meet any de-
'bands that may arise.
