MONEY MARIBT.

TRUILSDAT EVININO.
There has been a decidedly better feeling through-
out the several departnu nts of the Stock Exchange
to-day, and considerable ruching have been made in
the English funds —the prospect of a mutation of
hostilities between Denmark and Schleswig Roletein,
and improved accounts from Paris, having given con-
fidence to speculators.
Consols opened at 901 to 1 for money, and 91 to 4
for the account, but they went on gradually improving
throughout the day, and closed at 911 to 1 both for
money and time.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have ranged be-
tween 891 to 891; and the New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. between 901 and 901.
India Stock rather advanced in price and was done
at 247. Bank Stock marks 193, but in both there
was very little business.
In Excheqner Bill, and India Bonds there was no
alteration ; the former were done from 45a. to 48s.
prem., and the latter at 695., 70a, and 71s. prem.
As evincing the abundance of mousy it may be
observed that the price of Consols for money and
time bargains to-day has been the same, especially
towards the close of business.
In the foreign market there was a very small
amount of business transacted ; prices generally to-
wards the close of the day showed a tendency up-
wards, in sympathy with Consols: the official lists
comprise the following us the actual business done
:
Brazilian Small at 79 ; Buenos Ayres, at 371; Equa-i
dor at 31 and 31; Mexican, at 311 and 311, withl
coupons, and 291 and 291 ex coupons. P4.,rtugasse
Four per Cents. at 281 and 281; the Spanish Five
per Cents. Active, at 17 ; Venezuela, at 231; French
Fives, at 89fr., exchange 25fr. 30 cents., and 90 ex-
change, 25.35 cents.; and the Dutch Four per Cent.
Certificates, at 781.
The private advice. from Paris to-day. represent the
feeling among the moneyed interest in that city us
decidedly improved, and a very confident impression
is entertained that the result of the elections will be
favourable to the cause of peace and good order.
The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the proprie-
tors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland took place to-
day at their offices in Old Broad-street. The report
presented was of a very favourable character, not-
withstanding the sad distress which has prevailed
in Ireland during the last twelve months.
FRIDAY, Two °Twat. I
The improvement which was manifest in the Beg►
liah fiends yea erday has gone kaward to-day. Con'l
sole opened at 911 to 1, and are now quoted
911 to for money and account. The Three per
Cents. Reduced are quoted 901 to 1; and the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., at 91 to 1. Bank
Stock is quoted 193 to 5; and Exchequer Bills at
48., to 48e. molar

MANUFACTURES.—BRADPORD, May 17.—The
eon-
samptlon and production of all kinds of aimed is perhaps more
nearly balanced than for many years past, nor is it at all probable
that any material incase in the 'pinning machinery to Ilk. ly to take
place. ne quantity of machinery now engaged on PpOOIM has tended
very much to learn the quantity produced, and although they have
proved a great bane to the manuaturer, they here been attended
with a greet increase on the eat of . The demand for
reeled yarns continues very steady; may are engaged for
some tete with old eantraew, and, from vat we ea learn the trade
is not no profitable as might be ezpected, alter ye many years of
ruinous depression. The prices are at prevent more dud than they
have been for some weeks tat, especially for floe yams made of
colonial wools, which are now very firm, at 6d. per gam below
March prices. The lower numbers are somewhat lea my fel. to 9d.
per gross, but of all klas the market continua very bare of stock.
The business dap, In the piece market is fully as active as for revere&
walla past, and with a settlement of the disturbances on the Com-
Uncut, there to no doubt but there will be a very active summer and
autumn trade for 'Woad' of plain gouda, which an now mod salable.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Litaram, May
17.—The home market is usually dull at this mason of the year, but
an avenge business to doing. A steady American shipping trade
continues. Manufacturer' are fully employed In worn,' up their
Mock of yarns, and cotton goods on band are considered light for this
period. Wonted spinners are all working full time. Varna are
without alteration. The colonial wool sales tow going on in London
fetch quite as grid prime as last February, contrary to the general
eager:Minn.—Lein/ter !alma.

Norrtuottam, May 17.—The style of the wrought
cotton hose hands still continues, the workmen being out over a large
extent of country ; peat numbers, in Oct, areengaged in ogricultur.d
labour. The drawer, shirt, and pantaloon branch still keeps pretty
goo 1, but some of the hosiers pay the late advance of wagee very on-
, willingly, and a serksof Copulae is weekly taking place. From all wo
can learn, the late Motence committed ou the frumee
at Lowdhant was against the wishes of the Nottingham workmen,
it being a local ebullition on the spur of the moment, on account of
the men going to work without cause, after they bad struck. The glove
trade, both silk and cotton, continues pretty brisk, mid they go on
smoothly, after 'ears of agitation. The other silk branches, with the
meridian of the knotted hose, are very depressed. The bobbin-net
trade has spin receded in many quarters, though not to any Perham
eaten!. This certainly augurs but ill after the Leipsic fair, and that,
too, in the month of M ay. The licauvaire fair, held lithe month of
August, as the bank of the Shone, may, however, retrieve this munti.
facture, as in former years large qaantitiss of lace were purchased at
this great fair and sent to Southern Lwow, Northern Africa, card
Western Asia. The silk trade is better than the cotton branches.
The warp trade boa revived to some extent for many article*, of
oourse including lace. Making warp-velvet lace la not wholly aban-
doned, the original patentee having repurchased the patent-right,
which bad been doomed of.—Nortinglioar Review.

WOOL—BRADFORD, May 17.—The opening of
the colonial sales in Linden last Thursday, at fully the
closing prices of February, hastaken the trade somewhat by
surprise, as sales had been effected hers at a considerable re-
duction from the prices sought, and we had booesi to replace
stocks at a cheaper rate. In English Wools there is not yet
any decided improvement, although there is a willingness on
the part of the holders to clear out t.eir old stocks prior to
receiving new clips, some of which will be soon in the market.
The quantity of Wool now held by the staplers is certainty
more than an avenge for May, end the quantity in the
growers' hands is also heavier than list year; a circumstance
which is easily explained; for up to Christmas the consump-
lion had been exceedingly limited, and with a total cessation
of exports between 1848 and 1849, the iecrease of English
Wools must have been conxiderable. With the opportunity
of availing ourselves of many other substitutes in Mol air,
Alpaca, and other classes of foreign, it will be far more safe
to use these than buy at the price now sought by the
growers, price rendering it quits impossible for the mer-
chants to bring to this market to realise cost price.
The diminution in the quantity of Wool, both sorting and
combing, is causing NOiii and Brokes to he scarce, but, net-
withstanding the small quantity offering, they are not sale-
able except at a redaction in price.
CORN.—MARR-LANE.-- Tho receipts of English
Wheat since Monday have again been small, but of foreign
the arrivals still continua large, and more than eufiltient to
meet the present " hand-to-mouth" demand. The trade
this merging was dull, and the quotations of Monday last
were maintained with difficulty. Barley sold quite as well
as in the beginning of the week, and Oats could hardly be
bought se well as on Monday. Beans and l'eu unaltered in
vales.

reported in Peas. At this day's market the supply of English
Wheat was again limited, and an improvement of ab.ut U.

scriptinns and foreign sold more freely. Very few sales were
effected in Barley. Oats Is. per qr. higher. English

did not give way, therefore there was but a retail sale. Flour
may be bought easier ; say 325. to 34 . for hest seconds; and
being cheaper than Wheat the millers have no inducement
