MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocl.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Colton
Market yesterday was quiet, but firm. The sales
Were 6,000 bales, 1,500 of wh'cli were taken for
export, and on speculation. The Railway Share
Market WS dull, and prices of all the leading
stocks declined.

The Bank of Eogland weekly return of liabilities
and assets, which is completed for the week ending
the 30th of May, is very satisfactory, showing an
increase of not far short of ha 7 a million sterling
in the reserve of notes and the bullion. The public
deposits as well as the private deposits have also
greatly augmented, and the only unfavourable
feature in the balance-sheet is an increase of up-
wards of 600,000/. iu the other securities. It is
expected that a moderate proportion of the gold
lately received from Australia will be sold to the
authorif es, and the improvement in the general
Position of the Bank's resources now apparent is,
therefore, likely to continue. The principal items,
and the changes they present are as follows :

Advices from China report a further slight ad-

abated.

~_Although the variation in the English Stock
Market is very limited, the quotations are buoyant
and the tendency has been upwards. The ship-
14e/it of gold from Australia advised by the over-

MMES.—The past week has been particularly dull,
even for Whitsun week ; but this dullness has been
brought about, not so much from the want of orders on
the market to purchase shares, as from the difficulty in
'?ding sellers of such shares as are mostly in demand.
'Ate limited number of shares in the principal dividend
braes, and to which we have frequently called attention,
au more than ever felt, as the extension of the market
causes them to be more widely diffused. We hope, there-
fore, pursers and managers will no longerobject to 1024ths
at least, for a subdivision to this number would be a boon
to the market, and a benefit to shareholders. Even Devon
Consols, though in 1024 shares, are most difficult to get
When any demand arises, and the case becrmes worse
When a mine is divided into 257 only. However, the
zzatter rests with the shareholders, for we believe the
extra trouble which would be entailed through addi-
tional transfers causes the chief opposition on the
