COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.

Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a hardening tendency,
at the extreme rates of last week. The sales
amounted to 12,000 bales, 2,500 of wh'ch were
taken by the speculators, and 2,000 by the ex-
porters. The Railway Share Market closed w:th
a dull appearance, and prices of all shares were a
shade lower.

It has been announced by the Union Bank of
London that they are authori-ed by the Delhi
Bank to arrange all the engagements of that esta-
hliThment drawn upon the London and Eastern
Banking Company.
The advices from China as already reported have
increased the firmness of the silver market, and the
demand continues active. The bars received by
the last West India steamer haye been sold at
53. lid. per ounce, being id. per ounce more than
the previous supply realised. Although the rates
at Rung Kong and Shanghai are higher and will
4eep up the present drain of silver, it is satisfactory
to notice.that the Indian exchanges are more favour-
!hie, the quotations both at Calcutta an..l Bambay
being lower than was at first supposed.
Further amounts of gold have been taken into
the Bank of England, and a larger proportion of
t▪ he late supplies is likely to be so appropriated
't,han most persons anticipated ; but of the 345,0001.
'rolight by the Sussex and the Walmer Castle,
a'heot 120,0001. has been sold to the authoritieß,
4" a part of the remittances by the Kent, the
South Carolina, '&c., will probably be also added
to the stock of precious metals in Threadneedle-
Istrpet.
An active demand still prevails for discount ac-
e(nlimodation, and at the Bank of England and in
Lombard-street the applications are found .to be
verq numerous. At the same time, however, no
'tenuity is encountered by parties requiring assist-
„an") and as the supply is large, there is perhaps
'ese pressure than of late. One cause of the sus-
tained inquiry is the activity with which the Go-
Vernment collections, as usual at this period of the
Year, when the dividend payments are approaching,
are Made. Probably in the course of a few days
4
i,r-inquiry will slacken, but it is impossible at all
::_egles to calculate upon any beneficial change, for
" least increase in the demand seems to have a
decided effect upon the market.

The transfer books for Consols close to-say, and
the market will now be solely under the influence
of speculative operations. Subjoined are the clays
appointed for the shutting and re-opening :

there is very little animation in the markef for
Securities, and the quotations seem rather
~eay.Y. It-is difficult to discover the real cause of
of this apathy and weakness, but a 'prudent course
of 'Peculation is evidently dictated by the continued
demand for money and the specie drain. The
ttendancc of the members of the " House" is
limited, and business in all departments is con-
tracted. Consols for transfer have been 93i 94,
and for account 944 13- and 94g The New 3

all 94i for account.
.eoreign stocks are exceedingly inactive, not
more than half-a-dozen bargains being recorded.

called 95. Peruvian 3 per cents. are 53 ; Dutch
"2 Per cents., 651 ; and do. 4 per cents. 974.

The Railway -Share Market has been inactive,
but the few dealings reported have in most in-
etannes-been at a slight improvement on yesterday's
quotations. Great Northern and Lancashire and
Yorkshire advanced ss. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and
7s. 6d. ; and Norfolk and North Eastern

ines no business of any importance was transacted.

Very few dealings are reported in Miscellaneous
