CITY, Two

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, and prices were barely maintained. The
sales were 6,000, 1,000 of which were Americans,
on speculation. The Railway Share Market closed
with a buoyant aspect compared with Thursday's
rates.

The advices from New York, per steamer Persia,
state that the banks continued to contract their
loan and discount engagements, and the money
market at the latest date was more stringent, with
an upward tendency in the rates of discount.
The Bank of England Return for the week end-
ing the Ist instant is generally considered unfa-
vourable, and the protracted sitting of the direc-
tors on Thursday, which was followed by another
yesterday, has naturally increased the uneasiness
felt with regard to the progress of the money
market. In the other Securities there is an aug-
mentation of about half a million sterling, and the
"Reserve" exhibits a further declension. These
changes, however, are partly accounted for by the
preparations for the "fourth" of the month, and
as since that date the pressure has slightly relaxed
they are not productive of such gloomy anticipa-
tions as otherwise might have been the case. The
bullion, too, is reduced, though slightly, and a
further amount, viz., 60,0001., having been with-
drawn yesterday, there is a fear that, unless the
James Baines soon arrives, a further diminution
will take place. The sure standing to the credit of
the Government is favourably increasing, and this
is the only satisfactory feature in the return.

Although there is rather less demand for dis.
counts, no change has occurred in the genera]
aspect of the discount market to warrant the im-
pression that any decided improvement is near at
band. On the contrary, the advices from the pro-
"jaces, and the variety of rumours afloat affecting
the credit of important firma and companies, al-
though supposed to be utterly unfounded, tens to
show that increased apprehension exists of the
pressure becoming still more severe and disastrous.
These rumours are extremely annoying, because,
although improbable, they obtain extensive circu-
lation. The public have been previously cautioned
'Under this head to pay no attention to such state-
Meats, which for the most part emanate from
mischievous and interested parties.
The official return of the exports of bullion from
the port of London for the week ending Thursday
hat is as follows :

There wasa meeting yesterday at Birmingham
of the creditors of Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and
Co., the contractors, who recently suspended pay-
Meta. The uncovered liabilities were stated at
114,0001., and the assets, it is supposed, will
amount to 121,7001.

The Funds are dull, but tolerably firm. There
is scarcely any business in progress, the time ope-
rators being intimidated by the uncertain aspect
of the money market. Consols have been 921 for
Satter, and 934 for account ; they have since been
e, owing to the unfounded statement that the
Bank Directors were holding another extraordi-
nary sitting to-day. The quotations are now ab 921 for the former, and 921 93 for the latter. Ex-
chequer Bills are 2s. discount to 2s premium, and
the Bonds 98f I. The New Threes have been
9.11 921, and the Reduced 91; i;t.
Foreign Stocks are extremely dull, but in some
instances firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen
to 90/ g but they are now flatter ; the 4 per
Cents, are 1004 Venezuela have been marked

Very little business has been done in Railway
Shares this morning, and, with one or two excep-
tions, au advance of about per cent. may be
noted In prices. Caledonian, Great-Western, Lan-
eashire and Yorkshire, South-Western, North-
Vdaetern Berwick, and ditto York, were about ss.
to 10s. higher. North-Western and Midland
slightly receded. The Foreign and Colonial Lines
are at steady rates.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
experienced no material alteration, business gene-
rally being very moderate.
