MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. I shr.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK. 12
Advices from Liverpool mention that in the
Cotton Market yesterday there was a good demand, 59,
and Extreme quotations were current for all kinds:
The sales amounted to 12,000, about one-third of it.
which were taken for export and on speculation.
The Railway Share Market presented a steady 25
aspect„ and prices of all the leading socks ad- 25
vanced, and the market closed at its best point. st.
The Bank Return, which is completed for the st.
Week ending the 4th instant, is not altogether sa- St.
tisfactory, and were it not for the reasonable sup- 50
position 'hat an improvement in the posiqon of v,
the establishment has taken place since that
10
date it would no doubt excite some unplea- 10
Sant predictions. As it is, however, the changes 50
presented are construed favourably, the decrease 25
in the private deposits and the addition to the other .t•t:
securities not being greater than might have been 20
expected, from the augmented pressure for money a.
consequent upon the payments of the " fourth" 25
instant, and the settlements at the Stock Ex- 25
change. A decline in the bullion was also anti- St.
cipated, seeing that in the week represented the 20
drain of gold continued, while the influx of coin SO
from Ireland must have almost ceased. There ;0
have now been fresh supplies from Australia, st.
which, besides checking the drain from the estab- 0
lishment, have strengthened the amount of the St.
precious metals held there. A feeling, conse-
quently prevails that the next official balance-sheet 10
-4.
will exhibit some amelioration in this respect, while st
the diminished pressure for discounts, though to a st
trifling extent only, will perhaps occasion a favour- Sf
able change in the other departments. The chief
items, and the alterations they show, are as sub- Li
joined :

In the Foreign Exchange, yesterday afternoon, 5
there was no change of importance. f
The Persia from the United States brings
'5,1241. in specie, but as the exchange on this
Country is unfavourable, it is no doubt merely in
transitu to the Continent.
There is a good demand for money to-day at full
rates.

Notwithstanding the Budget contains the various
Measures anticipated, the Funds now droop, thus
proving the effect of the financial exposition was fully
realised. As soon as the market opened sales com-
menced, and since then some large parcels of stock
hive been disposed of, causing a decline of about
I. Per cent. This is not a very important reac- tu
St.
1°13) considering the extent of the late rise,
but the dearness of money checks any decided 20
advance. The advices from India report no parti- 10
cular alteration in the exchanges, and the drain of 4.t.
gold will therefore continue, which is certainly not q
in favour of prices, as in a few days further sums 10
rill probably be withdrawn from the Bank. 50
for the account the transactions have been 10
at 94 to 941, 94, buyers, and they are now
20.
about 931, 94. The New 3 per Cents. are 20

There has been a fair amount of business trans-
acted, this morning, in the Railway Share Market, 0
but prices have been influenced by the flatness 18
in the English Stock Market. Caledonian,
Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee, and Great Western 12%
declined 10s. ; Groat Northern, Brighton, South- 100
Western, North Staffordshire, and South Devon, 100

ed. to 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, South- ""

very inactive, and prices have undergone no change "
st.
of any importance. 20

don declined 55., and Union of Australia 11. 20
