MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocic.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices we re
well maintained. The sales were estimated at
12,000 bales, 5,000 of which were taken for ex-
port and on speculation. The Railway Share
Market closed without animation, at previous
rates.

The Bank of England return, made up for the
Week ending the sth inst., is decidedly less satis-
factory than was anticipated, and the decline in the
bullion, although small, when an increase was ex-
pected, has naturally caused some disappointment.
This movement is to be attributed. to the remittances
made to the agricultural districts, and to other dis-
bursements usual at this time of the year, but un-
less a large arrival from Australia soon takes place,
it is very likely that a further reduction will
ensun. Another unfavourable feature is the addi-
tion to the Stock and other Securities, which in
consequence of the payments of the 4th of the
Month, it was thought would have diminished. It
is evident that there has been considerable pressure
for money ; but at the same time there is an in-
crease on the reserve of notes. The private deposits
have declined, but this is partly explained by the
large increase in the amount standing to the credit
of the Government. The Rest has advanced to a
point that will enable the Directors to pay to the
proprietors of Bank Stock si, if not 6 per cent.
The principal items, and the changes they present,

The official return of the exports of precious
metals from the port of London for the week end-
kg Thursday last is as follows
_Gold Coin ... Boulogne ... 160 On.
L „ „ Btlgiutu ... 2 000 „
„ Bars .e. Belgium ... 1,200 „
, , ... Boulogne ... 13,000 „
Silver (Join Bonlogne ... 800 „

The demand for money continues active, and
full rates are still charged for accommodation.

Rather more firmness has been visible in the
Market for English Securities to-day, notwith-
standing the Bank return, which is considered dis-
couraging. The speculators still wait patien'ly for
•later advices from India, but there is au absence of
those unfavourable rumours which are usually cir-
culated prior to the arrival of the overland mail.
Consols have been 901 15 for money, and 902 for
account. Exchequer Bills are still depressed at
about 18. to 4s. discount. The Small ditto aro Gs.
to 7s. discount.

About half-a-dozen bargains have been reported
ha. the Foreign market, and its tone bas been ra-
ther flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. were 95!
but they have since risen to 951 1. Spanish Pas-
sive Bonds are 51 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 79
79i ; and Buenos Ayres, 85.

Tho following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks ;—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 6/ ; Mexi-
can, 21 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 79 80 ;
ditto 3 per Cents., 55 5G ; Portuguese 3 per
Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ;
Ditto 4h per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents.,
401 ; Ditto . New Deferred, 25i 1 ; Ditt3 Cer-
tificates, 5Z 61; Ditto Passive, 51 61.
About an average amount of business has been
transacted in the Railway Share Market this morn-
ing. The variations in prices, however, have not
been important. Caledonian improved 10s. ;Gr at
Northern, 10s. ; Great Western, 15s. ; and North
Western, 10s. ; Edinburgh, Perth and Dundea de-
clined 11. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
; Midland, 55.: North Eastern (Lee ls), ss. ;
and North Eastern (York), ss. The Foreign lines
were at quite nominal quotations, and the Colonial
'were inactive. Great Western of Canada and Great
Indian Peninsula were at yesterday rates. Grand
Trunklof Canada Debentures were dealt in at 831 to
84.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
vere dealt in to a very limited extent. City Bank,
London and County Bank, and Union of Australia
receded about 10s. ; Electric Telegraph, 10s.
Peninsular and Oriental Steam, and Royal Mail
Steam, were rather firmer.
