COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

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

The Bank of England. return, completed for the
week ended Bth March, is not generally considered
favourable, although there is a large increase in
the reserve notes, and a diminution in the other
securities. The bullion, notwithstanding the re-
cent arrivals of the precious metals from Australia,
has 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-
mands that may arise.

75f. per 200 kilos., and the following lots of flour
changed hands at the prices annexed :-243 barrels
