CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily, and values of all descriptions were fully
maintained. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales, 3,000 of which were taken by the exporters
and speculators.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending the 20th inst., shows some very favourable
features. The bullion has been increased to the
extent of about one 'Billion sterling, and the re-
serve of notes has also been augmented upwards
of half a million. The other securities continue to
show a satisfactory falling i ff, viz., of about one
million and a half, the total now being about
twenty-two millions and a quarter. The public
deposits have slightly decreased, and the private
deposits have declined about three quarters of a
million. The active circulation shows a slight in-
crease, but in the Government Securities there is
no alteration to report. The various items and the
changes they present are shown in the following

of Eugland yesterday. The demand for money is
still very moderate, and 34 per cent, is the charge
in Lombard-street, for the negotiation of the best
qualities of commercial paper.
The market for Public Securities has exhibited
increased symptoms of buoyancy, and a limited
business has been transacted to-day at an advance
of it per cent. The satisfactory Bank reture, and

~.1411Ie ES.---The Mining Share Market opened well on
mny, and throughout the week it.has fully maintained
its favourable position. The enquiries, both for dividend
and epeculative stock, have been numerous, and advanced
priests have in most instances been obtained. The rise
lathe pric of tin, to the extent of Si. per ton, announced
on Wednesday, had a marked influence upon shares in
Mines Producing that metal, and as the feeling exhibited
by the holders of Banca and Straits justifies the antici-
Pation that English qualities will further advance, the
prospects of tin mines generally would appear much
encouraging. Although the improvement in
copper mine shares is not yet so apparent, the fact of the
standard having advanced 41. on Thursday, together
With that of there being an improved demand for the
bletal, and no second-hand Parcels in the market, must
oPeedily affect them in an equal degrea.—M ininei
°tonal of this day.
