MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TR 0 O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on
speculation. The market was steady.—Railway Shares
were again depressed, the business being limited and at
16 16 lower prices.

The changes that occurred last week in the Bank of Eng-
land balance-sheet hinge mainly upon the advance of the
quarter and the movement peculiar thereto. The circula-
tion was lessened, owing to the increa ing sums placed to
the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the year's
revenue. The reduction of private lodgments may arise
from the disposition to invest in Railway Securities. The
sum of the precious metals keeps very steady. Compared
with the previous week, the results are as follows
