MON 12 DI A T

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCL'7,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a flat appearance,
and prices were fully id. per lb. lower on all
descriptions. The sales were estimated at 2,000
bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly,
at a slight decline in value.
An advance of 4 per Cent. has been made by the
East India Company in their terms for bills drawn
on on the three Presidencies ; they are now 2s. 2d.
per rupee on Bengal and Madras, and 2s. 21d. on
Bombay. This alteration has been effectei on
account of the recent advance in the Bank's mini-
mum. Its effect will not ba very important, the
amount of bills drawn on India being now very
limited.

Almost all of the gold brought from Australia by
the Heather Bell has been taken for the Continent,
but it is satisfactory to perceive that the drain to
the United States has been checked. During the
last few days a very small portion has been pre-
pared for shipment, and the Arago only took out
about 400,0001., while the remittances by the City
of Baltimore has been under 10,0001. About
14,0001. in gold has been brought from Australia
by the Phcenican. At present the silver market
is dull, but arrangements have already been com-
menced for the transmission of supplies by the
steamer on the 4th proximo.
The directors of the Bank of England, after a
brief sitting, have separated without making any
further alteration with regard to their monetary
regulations. This result of their deliberation was
fully anticipated, and now that the expectation has
been realised, there will probably be a much more
confident feeling. Temporarily, at least, the re-
strictions already imposed have proved successful,
and not only has the demand for money slack-
ened, but the shipments to the United States
have been retarded. American bills are dis-
counted with great difficulty, and the obstacles
which are thus thrown in the way of remit-
ters of specie render them unable to fulfil
the orders which they have received from the
United States. If this state of things can only be

preserved until the turning-point in the American
crisis is attained, the inconvenience now felt among
the trading community will be merely temporary.
Some unfavourable rumours have recently been
circulated with regard to the probability of the
Bank limiting their transa3tions to bills of 30 days,
whilst other innovations have also been spoken of
as impending. These, however, have been the
offspring of a fervid imagination of those who take
an extreme view of financial matters, and although
they secured a little attention at the time, they failed
to produce any lasting impression. The Funds are
firm, and the manufacturing and commercial
community seem to have prepared themselves for
the emergency, and thus difficulties are compara-
tively light when the extent of the pressure and
the obstacles that have to be encountered are taken
into consideration. In Lombard-street, and at
the Bank of England, the applications for discount
are reported to have been limited ; and although
full rates are demanded, there is a larger supply of
capital than will satisfy all the immediate require-
ments of trade.

There has been very little variation in the mar-
ket for English Securities to-day ; but since the
Bank "parlour" meeting adjourned the quota-
tions hare become firmer. Speculation, however,
is very dull, and the purchases of the public are
also limited. The unfavourable state of the
weather is a hindrance to business, but the
operators i are principally waiting to see
whether the shipments of specie to America are
still restricted. Consols have been 88H, and 88,?,/
for money ; while for account they have been 8881,
and 88Th. They are now firm at their best point.
The New Three per Cents. are 88g. to 88, and the
Reduced 87111. Exchequer Bills are heavy at
14s, to 12s. dis., and the Bonds are 97i 4. Bank
Stock is 212, and India Stock 210. The Bonds
are still very depressed, viz., 355. discount.
Foreign Stocks are dull, but in most instances
prices are supported. Turkish 6 per Cents, have
been dealt in at 87a, and the present price is 8;1 /.
Some of the other securities have been dealt in as
follows :—Brazilian 5 per Cents. 99k g ; Buenos
Ayres 6 per Cents. 81 ; Mexican 3 per Cents. 19i ;
Russian Small Bonds, 96 ; Spanish New De-
ferred, 25ii.

and South-Eastern, declined 10s. ; Great Northern,
Lancaster and Carlisle, Lancashire and York-
shire, and South-Western, ii. ; East Anglians

Colonial lines were inactive, and exhi-
bited little changes from previous quotations.

Great Western of Canada, and East Indian, were a
shade lo wer.
