COMIYLERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
Yesterday being Good Friday, no business was
transacted in the Liverpool Cotton and Share
arke
The Bank of England return completed for the
Week, ending the 15th inst., exhibits some impor-
tant changes, arising principally from the payment
5 the instalments on the New Loan and funding
5 Exchequer Bills, there is evidence consequently
5 the demand for money having been active, but
it has since become easier, and the next return will
Probably show an improvement in this respect, the
stock of
bullion slightly increased, and should re-
mittances from America continue and the large
arnollnts known to be on their way from Australia
alive, a material augmentation may be expected.
Tue imports of the precious metals during the past
Week have amounted to about 360,0001., but the
elPerts have been larger, viz., 469,0001. Small
parcels of gold are coming from the Continent, but
r Political purposes gold is still remitted to Tur-
ko

STATE OF TRADE.

froLRIcIA. March 2l.—There is a fair average demand
e6l.mial wool, but the supply of sound, deep-stapled
There
unusually small. Prices are without alteration.
ere is no new feature in the demand for low wool.
Illt4DPolll3 March 20.—The market tr -day was some-
hat '
th quiet, and manifested altogether a similar aspect to
laat noted. The prices of coming wools were firmly
gltit4ititained, and caused purchasers to act with extreme
tltion ; white noils and brokea, finding more inquiry
vtjt,' lately experienced, also showed a tendency to ad-
t "ee• There was a quiet though steady business
drailsacted in yarns. In the piece trade the business
(I„.._rie was, in the aggregate, moderately extensive.
IoctiALIPAX, March 20.—The current week shows no
ange either in the yarn or piece departments. In the
wool trade there has been a slacker demand, and
pry
ies appear to have made a halt in their upwardm
arch.
eelffele.rs, though apparently firm, are more willing to
and parcels of fleece wool to the spinners. Short wool
unoils are a little dearer.
ki:44UNCHEBTEII, March 20.—We have bad a dull mir-
,
loch as on Tuesday, but there has been more business in 40
shirtings for Calcutta and 36-inch shirting. go off
there
full prices. In domestics, long cloths, and T cloths,
Is but little business ; but prices are sustained in
l'lcept coarse qualities., which, in some elves, are
ta little easier to buy. The yarn market is quiet, and
:)et kinds of export qualities are easier to:buy. Double
1:I ns, suited to the Yorkshire and Russian trade, are in
Lrequest, and fetch very fu'l rates.
1110Rentu.—Some wholesale houses have been in the
er-r'et, and so far as they can purchase or plant their
set's at old prices, they are willing to do so, other-
ti:e they will take the risk of purchasing according to
their reuire m p
ents. Worsted sinners are very firm in
tOetkadvqanee put on, which they state is very inadequate
price they must give for wools.

/3AZAAR IN THE REGENT'S PAHL—The Toxopbilite
cTletY have granted the use of their grounds in Re-
'
Rfn-"‘'s Park (adjoining the Botanical Gardens) for the

11811tioll at Brompton. The bazaar is to be held as
ra°n amthe requisite preparations are made, and in the
eantitne the overnors of the institution have invited
onAtributions of bijouterie, fancy work, &c.
