The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, but with firmness. The sales amounted
to 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which were tal :en by the
exporters, and 2,000 by the speculators.. The Rail-
way Share Market closed at a slight in iprovement.
The advices from New York, per steamer Arago,
report a general decline in the market for specula-
tive securities, the accounts from Eu rope relative
t.,.° the monetary pressure having exercised an un-
favourable influence.
It will be seen by the subjoined analysis of the
Bank of England Return, completed for the week
ending the 25th inst., that the general position •f
the national establishment h as improved, notwith-
-Btltteling a further slight dec tension in the stock of
bullion The expected a-rrivai of the James
AdAines with nearly 700,0001. allays any apprehen-
sion of a further immediate reduction, especially
8.5 it is known that other vessels must also be near
at hand from the same quarter. The reserve of
notes has increased about half a million sterling,
atld a similar decline has taken place in the other
Sicurities. The Bank has evidently been a seller
cr lender of stock, as there is a large decline in the
Government Securities. The changes, although
lot very large, are encouraging. Subjoined are

There is an exceedingly active dem and for money,
and it is feared that the payments of the approach-
ug fourth" of the month mly bs attended by
some inconvenience. Already it is rumoured that
two commercial firms are embarrassed, but it is
premature to announce further p trticulars, as they
may be enabled to continuo their business through
th© assistance of friends.
This is a close holiday at the Stock Exchange, as
the striking of the half-yearly balance at the Bank
of England necessitates the closing of the transfer
offices.

Consols are nominally 92 / for money, and 931
for December.
