MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
The sales were estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000 balee.
—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at fuller
quotations.
The features of the Bank of England return, taken for
the week to the 24th instant, are much the same as
those noticed upon previous occasions lately. The ba-
lance to the credit of Government is increasing, and
private depositors are withdrawing a portion of their
surplus as they find readier employment for il. The
extended loans upon other securities also bear out the
view that there is greater facility in placing surplus
cash. The active circulation shows no increase be-
cause of the repayment of notes in the form of public
deposits. Compared with the previous week, the results
are as follows:
Notes Issued ... 30,216,870

Tho circulations returns for all the banks in the United
Kingdom bring up the amount during the month ending
the 10th inst. to 33,973,8111, an increase of 871,7651
compared with the previous month.
The amount of business transacted yesterday after•
noon in bills of exchange on the principal continental
cities was more satisfactory, and an increased price was
obtained by drawers, an indication that the balance of
trade is in favour of this country. Paper dated 90 days
was taken at 25 55 to 57i on Paris, at 25 521 to 55 on
Antwerp, 12 2 to 21 on Amsterdam, 13 11 to 11i on
Ilanahurgh, 1201 I on Frankfort, and 11 50 to 55 on
Triustc.

during the week ending Thursday last, comprised
201,000 ounces of silver and 1,324 ounces of gold, to
Belgium, France, and Germany.
In the Amsterdam market, on the 29th inst., Dutch
Stock was firmer at 57k. In Spanish Bonds there was
no alteration, and not much was doing.

firmer at 266. The premium on Exchequer-bills has
not been higher than 645. to 675.

ment having induced a few sales. The market, neverthe-
less, is uncommonly good for this invesurrent; the Five
per Cents. have been l - to 191, and the Three per
Cents. 371 Brazil Stock has been quoted 92i, and
stands firm against any impression produced by the un-
toward affair at Paraguay. Peruvian Bonds have

pared with the corresponding date of last year, rose
1,0871., but with more than double the mileage open.
