MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
12.
Th. e Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed
quietly,
without any material alteration in prices.
The sales were estimated at 17,000 bales, 1,000 of
*which were taken for export and on speculation. at.
The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and 25
Prices were rather lower. 25
The Bank of England return, completed for the St.
week ending the 6th inst., is certainly of an un- St.
f Durable character, but not more so than was St.
generally expected, owing to the payments on the 20
fourth" of the month, and the continued pres- 20
Sure for discounts which still prevails. There is a 10
Lconsiderable diminution in the other deposits and 50
the reserve of notes, while the withdrawals of gold 25
4°e necessarily occasioned a reduction on the stock 82t0
Of bullion. As these adverse influences have been in St.
f:1111 force during the last few days, it is feared that 25
the next statement will not show much improve- 25
kent. A noticeable feature in the present balance
2SOt-
Sheet is the falling-off in the private securities, not- 10
nhstanding the advances on bills which th 9 Bank St.
ilte3 Stated to have recently made. The principal sit°.
