E MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELTMENCE.

, CITY, Two o'CLocis.
belnerthe ' Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a
better demand was apparent, and the tone of the
market was also firmer. The sales were 8,000
bales, 4,000 of which were taken for export and
°ll speculation. The Railway Share Market was
very buoyant, and prices were slightly higher.
The principal topic of conversation in the City
to-day has been the improved appearance of the
Bank of Englank returns. Although they still bear
ample testimony to the pressure and inconvenience
resulting from the crisis, there is sufficient to show
that the turning point has been reached, and that an
improvement hes set in. These balance-sheets will
now be anxiously watched, and upon them many
Persons will base their operations in legitimate
trade and in speculation. If they continue to
indicate an imnrovement, a decline in the terms of
discount will be predicted, and already conversation
turns upon the prospect of an immediate reduction
to 9 per cent. Some anticipate an altera-
tion next week, or on the Thursday fol-
lowing ; but looking at the present position of
the Bauk, it can scarcely ba imagined that the
authorities will act prudently in offering increased
ficilities until the bullion and the reserve have
further increased, and the total stock of the other
securities, which onWednesday stood at 31,350,7171.,
has been materially reduced. While it is desir-
able that the trade of the country should be
relieved as speedily as possible, the Directors
will. perceive the necessity of proceeding cautiously,
hat the results of any premature action should
eventually compel them to retrace their steps.
Through
-the arrivals of gold, the bullion has
increased to a large extent, and the notes
kave undergone a favourable alteration. The Bank
has been a seller of stock to the extent of upwards
of half a million sterling. An addition has been
made to the private as well as the public deposits.

Sales of gold have been made almost daily to the E
sank of England, and, although the parcels are
not large, they are causing a steady accumu- 5
I.ation in the vaults of that establishment. Yester- S
day a further parcel of foreign gold was taken t
there, amounting to about 30,0001. It is expected
21
that the greater part of the 200,0001., en route
from St. Petersburg, will be similarly disposed of ; 1.1
While the 300,0001. arrived at Suez, per Simla, and Si

looked for in the course of a few days. 11
