AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Aceounts from Liverpool mention that the
Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and
Prices were unaltered. • The sales were estimated
at about 5,000 biles. Tito Railway Share Market
closed steadily at previous rates.
The Bank of England weekly return, made up
to the I.9th inst., is not of a character to inspire
Confidence in the establishment of a lower discount
quotation. On the contrary many will be
induced to predict greater stringency, unless
SOme change for the better soon takes
Place. What creates most attention is the
accumulation of securities, and the decline
In the bullion, but tne latt,r, it is hoped may soon
be remedied by the arrival of Australian gold, which
iS now on the passage, and may be considered over
clue. Thera is reason to believe that the total at
the present moment exceeds the aggregate given
below, as 150,0001. to 200,0001. in gold and sove-
reigns was sent into the vaults early this week.
The securities, however, in the face of preparations
for the end of the month, are not likely to diminish,
but rather the reverse. The reserve of notes has
bleu trenched upon to a small extent, but there is
a large increase in the other deposits to which this
adverse movement may be ascribed. The principal
items, and the changes they present, are as sub-
joined

The official return of the exports of precious
metals from the port of Loudon for the week end-
kg Thursday last is as follows :
Gold Coin ... Boulogne ... 120 Ozs.
„ Bars ... Boulogne ... 32,300 „
„ Bars Belgium ... 1,200 „
Silver Coin ... Bouiogne ... 14,000 ~
~ Dunkirk ... 3,000 „
Lu lion Hambro 750 „
LI Boulogne ... 5,000 „
:The Board of Trade returns for the eight months
ended the 31st of August last have been published,
alid show the total exports from the United King-
dom to have been 84,660,718/., being an increase
149,967,784/. compared with the like date of 1850.
There was an increase in beer and ale, coals and
Claim, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haber-
dashery and millinery, hardware and cutlery,
Metals, silk manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool,
and woollen and worsted yarn. There was a
felling off in oils, soap, British spirits
and refined sugar. The imports were larger
43 regards live animals, flax, currants,
leather manufactures, provisions, raw silk, brandy,
tallow, timber, wine, and sheeps' and lambs' wool,
but a diminution is exhibited in bristles, coffee,
torn, flour, raw cotton, rice and tea. The tonnsge
of vessels engaged in the foreign trade shows a con-
Illderable increase inwards, as also for those cleared
%awards in which British shipping largely parti-

eipated.
The Funds remain without the least alteration,
Arid the general position of the market remains
Just the same as on the last two days. There is
Nothing new to report with regard to the circuna-
!stances which have produced this inactivity, and
Until the news from India arrives, no return of
11Peculative animation can be looked for. Consols
have remained at 90 to 90A- ; and 901 fir account,
India Stock is 209 to 200 ; and Exchequer Bills
are 10s. to 6s. discount.
The Foreign market is also very inactive, and
Ile change can be recorded in values. Turkish 11
6 per Cents. are still at about 941 95. Mexican
Stock is marked 21 to 211, and Dutch 2i per 1
Cents. 641.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stacks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i 6 ; Mexi-
can, 21/ ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 781 79i
ditto 3 per Cents., -- ; Portuguese 3 per Cents.,
; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto
4i per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40/ ;
ditto Deferred, 25g H ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ;
ditto Passive, 51 6.
The transactions reported it' the Railway Share 1,

Market this morning were unimportant. Prices,
however, in most instances, exhibited a further
Blight decline. Great-Western and North-Western
declined ss. ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, 1(
Great Northern, North-Eastein, Berwick, and it
North-Eastern, York, 10s. ; Lancashire and York- u
Shire and South Eastern, ss. The other lines
dealt in were at previous quotations. In the
Poreign undertaking 4, Northern of Frarce
un-
proved ss. The Colonial lines were flat. East
Indian advanced about ss. to 108. ; and Grand
Trunk of Canada, 10s.
Mining shares were not dealt in, and prices are
quite nominal.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
been inactive, and but little variation can be quoted
in values. National Discount Company and Gene-
ral Steam Navigation are a shade firmer.
