COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
tirinlY, and prices were fully maintained. The
sales amouut?d to 12,000 bales, 1,000 of which
l'ee taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export.
dell
Railway Share Mark-t closed with rather a
appearance, and quotations wcre a shade
'orer,

further sum of 140,0001. consisting of Rus-
",l4 Am.ericau gold was sold to the B ink yester-
day, and the total stock of the precious metal
by that establishment must now exceed
even millions and three quarters sterling. There
are large amounts from America and elsewhere still
available, and it is expeced that they will be
appropriated in a similar manner as there is a lull
14 the continental demand. Very few purchases
of eilwr are now being made in France and Belgium
°,„llll'lish account, and there will consequently be a
rePortionate decline in the remittances of gold from
is aide• The Bank of France also does not require
"IlYilnmeliateassistancefrom gold brought here, and
as the 50 franc notes are to be issued to-day, the
necessity for such aid will, no doub', be. obviated
at lelst for some time ti come. It is, therefore,
expectedt that the bullion will accumulate here, and
elle° a reduction in the minimum rate of discount
before
the end of the year is not considered im-
Prebable.
Although theta) is still an active inquiry for
money in discount circles no difficulty is found in
obtaining the accommodation required at H to
i3el* cent. under the rat exacted by the Bank of
1,, 'l4"d• This renwed relief, at a period when
-`4arrangementsi are in pi ogi ess fer the liqu dat'on of
he conarn-reil b lls f dling du-, as usu d, early in
the Month, is explained by the abundant supply of
The tempting rates still offered by the
Nut-stock batiks for depos to o r call place
those engaged in the negotiation of paper in pos-
session of ample funds, and in order to employ
then they are compelled, in consequence of the
competition, to submit to a slight concession.
(lien th ise engag .mats shill have been provided
f
et, it is expected that the st ate of the market will be
still further relieved, and the absence of speculation
ritlillest departments of business is an additional
jalen why money is more likely t o become cheaper
an otherwise. Ou the Stack Exchange loans
are obtainable at low, rates, and the enqu'ry is
very limited.
The business transacted in the English stock
market up to this hour, has not been large, but
purchases h%ve predominated, and an improve-
mentelt per cent, has t sken place. The
:ether sales of bullion te the Bank, the
vileitr state of the Money Market, and the hope
t
e,llat the next advices from ludic may be more
f ,ceuraein-
