The Liierpol Cotton Market yesterday pre-
sented vty heavy appearance, and prices
slightly de•ined. The sales were estimated at
from 5,,0 to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
take/14y the speculators. In the Railway Share
Maret a very limited amount of business was
tramacted, and quotations tended downwards.
A further large supply of gold, namely £207,000,
has arrived from Australia by the Red Jacket,
which has made the passage in the short space of
71 days. This, together with the other remit-
tances which must now be near at band, will, it is
thought, soon make good the deficiency which the
recent Bank returns have shown in the item of
bullion. Several days having now elapsed since
any large shipments have been made to the Conti-
nent, there is reason to believe that the movement
has been checked for the present, and that the bulk
of the receipts from the antipodes will be added to
the stock of precious metals in the national esta-
blishment. The amount taken into Threadneedle-
street vaults yesterday was rather smaller than
was expected, namely about £70,000 ; but it ap-
pears that the supplies which have lately been
received were not ready for disposal. A moderate
amount, however, will probably be taken in to
day, and the return, which will appear in next
'week's Gazette, will no doubt show that specie is
accumulating in the Bank of England.
The general inquiry for money is limited, and
the market remains without alteration.
At the annual meeting of the Provincial Bank
of Ireland to-day a very favourable report was read,
showing improved prosperity in the business of the
bank, as well as in the social condition of Ireland.
The net profits of the year were 116,468/. 13s. 3d.,
from which the directors now declared a dividend of
30s. in each 100/. share, and 124. on each 101. share,
in addition to the usual half-yearly dividend of 4
per cent., making the amount thus to be paid
2/. 10s. on each 1001. share, and 1/. on each 10/.
share, for the half-year ending Midsummer next.
No alteration has been made to day in the dis-
count regulations of the Bank.
The market for English Stocks is rather firmer,
and a further slight improvement is not improbable.
Business is almost suspended, owing to the desire
evinced by the speculators to defer operations
until after' the debate to-night. The receipts
of gold from Australia have had a favourable
effect, and the few operations recorded show an in-
clination to speculate for an advance. Consols for
transfer have been 974 and for account 97i ;
they are now 971 f I and 971 respectively. The
New Threes are 96i ; the Reduced, 961 ; Ex-
chequer Bills, 41s. to 435. prem. ; and India De-
bentures, 1004 I. Bank Stock is 221 to 2221.
Foreign Securities are 'rather more active, and
prices have generally slightly fluctuated. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 97.1 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. 44i 5 ;
Ditto Deferred, 27 ; Russian 5 per Cents. 112 ;
Peruvian 4i per Cents., 87 88 ; ditto 3 per
Cents. 66 ; ditto dollar Bonds 70 72 ; Portuguese
3 per Cents., 45i ; Brazilian 5 per Cants. 1014 ;
Venezuela 41 per Cents., 371 ; ditto Deferred,
lb ; Dutch 2i per Cents., 66 ; and ditto 4 per
Cents., 994 100.

to this day, are in round figures as under :
