There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day. Sales, 5,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation. The
receipts of Cotton at the American shipping ports up
to the date of the accounts, were 30,000 bales less
than in 1843, the great cotton-crop year, and 330,000
more than up to the same period of 1844. Shares
rather improved, and prices were somewhat higher.

There are a great many arrivals to-day, chiefly from the
East, but the dates are only in one or two instances more
recent than those already to hand. The state of affairs in
the Rio Plate excites much interest, and from all we hear,
it is the prevalent opinion, that the contest is as filer as ever
from coming to a close.
The trade accounts from New York read tolerably well,
though money seems to have been in same request. It is
stated that the reduced importations, and the falling off in
the revenue from Customs, has diminished the Government
deposits in the Government banks, limited their resources,
and restricted their ability to extend favours to the stock
speculators of Wall-street. Last year the Government banks
of this and all the other large cities were filled
with deposits belonging to the United States Treasury;
large loans were made to stock operators ; the Stock-
market became highly inflated, and the wildest excitement
raged for a time in Wall-street. The times are now changed :
the Government Banks have been nearly stripped of the
deposits, the surplus revenue is much reduced, the Stock
market is very much depressed, the rate of interest nearly
double, and quotations for Stocks are daily sinking. This
is conclusive evidence of the agency of these Banks in the
operations of the Stock market, and shows that they have an
immense influence on prices of fancy, and all other kinds of
stocks; that, as they afford facilities to speculators the
market rises, and as they withdraw them prices decline.
If the money that otherwise might be turned to stock
speculations finds its way into trading channels, we fancy
there will be no cause for regret,
Advices from Antwerp state that the negotiations for a
treaty between Belgium and Brazil had been retarded-
rather an ominous word in reference to State matters, and
almost synonymous, we apprehend, with entire shelving.
The public securities have been fluctuating to-day, and
without much business doing. Consols for present transfer
have been marked 99 to 98%, and for account 99 to 98%.
Exchequer-bills have been done at 58s. to 60s. premium.
Bank Stock has realised 209%, and India Stock 278. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 101 to
1003/4, and the Three per Cents. 98 to 973/4. The large
money purchase of Consols made yesterday afternoon has
had, therefore, but little effect on the market.
The Foreign Stocks look firm but there is very little in-
clination to speculate in them. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been 30% and the Three per Cents. about 41, both being
almost nominal. Portuguese Converted Stock has been 675.
to 68s. The finance agency here has advertised the recep-
tion of the existing Bonds in exchange fur those bearing
Four per Cent. Mexican Stock has been firm at 38 to 4.
Dutch Four per Cents. have been 97%.
The Railway Share Market is quiet to-day on account of
the settlement, and prices seem generally rather firmer.
