i~LLit'q an COMMERCIAL .NIEW,`,:

CITY, QUARTER 7'o THREE. -
The sales of Cotton at Liverpcol yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales. The market was firm, and prices
were fully supported.—ln Railway Shares a good busi-
ness was done at higher rates.

The qua.rterly eitcial payments began last week to
operate upre the Bank of England account, which shows
an extension of circulation and a reduction of the
hi:lance to the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The emouut held by prtvate depositors was augmented,
and this is an item which will, doubtless, receive further
extension. There was an addition to the advances upon
other securities, probably loans upon stock. The bullion
increased a trifle. Compared with the previous week,
the following results are shown :

In Bills of Exchange upon the principal continental
cities there was yesterday afternoon a moderate business
transacted. On Amsterdam the rate advanced a little,
being for 90 days' bills 12 2 to 2+; on Antwerp 25 65 to
70 was given, and Trieste was done as high as 11 20 to
22. Hamburch was a shade lower, viz., 13-12 to +;
Frankfort steady at 1214 i; and Paris, at 25.60 to 65.
There has been only silver exported from London this
week, all to Holland, Belgium, and France, and to the
amount of 238,000 ounces.
We learn from Manchester to day that business has
been checked by the rise in cotton, but at Leeds and
Nottingham there was considerable activity.
The Funds have been farther depressed this morning,
and the realisation of profits is evidently the cause.
Consuls have been quoted 97 to 97+ for Transfer, and
961 to 97+ for Account, being now 97+1. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99k to
Bank Stock is firm at 208 to Exchequer-bills halve
58s. to 61s. only, money being temporarily in
request in the Stock Exchange.
The F3reign Funds keep up pretty well, and Peruvian
have risen to 651 f; Mexican are 29j+, and Grenada
16i. Brazil Stock has been marked 89. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 34} to 35. Nominally
Spani.h Five per Cents. are 19i 4.
The market for Railway Shares has been very buoyant
again, and it would really seem as if parties began to
see that at present values they may do well to invest.
The allotment letters of. the Islington Cattle Market
Company have just been distributed, and the gentlemen
who at much perSongl inconvenience, and in spite k f con-
siderable opposition, have determin'ed to press the matter
upon public attention, have every reason to
congratulate themselves upon the issue. The
tide of opinion has turned so strongly in favour of a bli-
burban market that Smithfield, under any circumstances,
could not much longer exist, but what more immediately
cone rns the proprietary is the knawleige that they are
buying a property which promises, like that at Liver-
pool, to yield a handsome dividend.
