CITY, TWO 0 CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bales, with a steady market. Railway Shares were firm at
previous rates.

The business transacted by the Bank of England during
the week to the 22,1 ult. rather it:cream], and with the en-
couragement afforded by' the reduction in the charge for

loans, we may expect a further augmentation in the—item
" other Securities." The Public Deposits are fast rising
and presumably will stand well by the close of the financial
quarter. This contracts the circulation. Compared with
',he previous return, the following changes are apparent :

Yesterday afternoon Bills of Exchange upon the principal
continental cities were negotiated at higher rates, and from
Hamburgh and Paris we are advised of an improvemement.
The uniform tendency of the foreign exchanges recently has
been to improve, and the following figures, compiled for a
banking contemporary, will more clearly illustrate this:—
