CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
W.th a very quiet aspect, and prices remained un-
altered from last week' currency. The sales were
7,000 bales, 1,000 of which wera taken for export
and on speculation. The Railway Share Market was
dull, and the transactions wera moderate, at a
slight decline on Tuesday's values.
It is expecte.' that the Ripon, which will leave
Southampton for India and China early next week,
'will take out a comparatively small amount of
specie, viz., about 630,000/. The advices just re-
ceived from India announce an important decline
ip the Bombay exchcinge, and if a similar movement
has taken place in Calcutta there is reason to believe
that the monthly exports will sensibly diminish.
At present, therefore, the inquiry for that metal is
limited, and prices continue flat. A portion of the
American dollars recently received has been sold at
Old. per ounce, and the bars by the Atrato have
realised 6115 d. per ounce standard. Very few pur-
chases are being made on the Continent, but occa-
sionally small amounts are received. The Albion,
from Boulogne yesterday, brought about 18,000/.

The West Indian steamer which leaves to-day
Will take out 12,7931. and 10,0001. in silver.
The+ following resolution, passed by the directors
of the Great Northern Railway Company, has been
Posted at the Stock Exchange :—" That henceforth
deeds of transfer will be allowed to he registered
for any amount not less than 10s. of any of this
company's stocks, and that all transfers outstanding
at this date will bs registered irrespective of
amount."

The limited business transacted in Public Sem-
'ties has not occasioned any variation in values,
but the market appeals steady, notwithstanding
ta° Bears seem encouraged by the less favourable
state of the Money Markets on the Continent.
i'Peeulation, however, is very quiet, and the
