Markets are the continued demand for floating car-
goes of Coffee, and the improved inquiry for those of
Sugar. Prices are without quotable change gene
rally. The Calcutta accounts by telegraph give a
rise of 2s 6d in the value of Saltpetre, but the market
here remains dull. The private telegrams in antici-
pation of the China advices do not appear to have
affected the Tea Market, and both buyers and sellers
appear disposed to wait the details. Spelter is again
slightly dearer, but other wise the Metal Market re-
mains inactive.

The reports of the state of trade in the manufac-
turing districts indicate a slight improvement,
though the uncertainty attending the general
progress of political affairs still arrests any very
active development.. The condition of business
at Birmingham is moderately good ; and
the accounts from Leeds, Huddersfield,
Leicester, and Halifax, are not unsatisfactory.
From Norwich and Nottingham the accounts are
generally good, the shoe and lace trades being in a
better condition. At Sheffield and at Wolverhamp-
ton the orders have not been of a character to stimu-
late the principal manufacturing interests. The
Irish advices are more encouraging, both as regards
the existing and future prospects of affairs.

The Funds to-day were dull, hat not lower in price, not-
withstanding the uncertain position of polities both at home
and abroad, the impending Russian and Indian loans,
and the further decided fall which took place to-clay iu'the
French Funds. The demand for money to-day was mode-
rate, but very few bills were discounted below the Bank
minimum. There were no further withdrawals of gold
from the Bank to-day. At Hamburgh the rate of discount
rose on Saturday to 324 per cent., in consequence of
the continued demand for silver including about
£300,000 on government account. The shipments of
silver by the Calcutta steamer on the 4th April
will probably amount to between £600,000 and £700,000.
The £116,600 in Australian gold, by the Tornado,
has been taken for the Continent. The mail steamer
next week, from the West Indies and Mexico, will
probably bring about £200,000 in gold and silver.
The movement of the Calcutta and China Exchanges, as
reported by telegraph, appear to be slightly more
able to this country. At St. Petersburg, the Exchange
is quoted at 36s 5-16d.---Daily News City Article, Monday

unfavour-

The English Funds opened this morning without
alteration, and owing to flat accounts from Paris a
subsequent slight tendency to improvement was not
maintained. At Vienna, the Bourse continues to improve.
The rate of discount at Hamburg has advanced to 4 per
cent. 'Silver has declined, and is offered at 62 I per oz.,
or even lower. The only alteration in the Eastern
Exchanges, shewn by the telegram of this morning, is in the
rate at Hong Kong, which is about 11 per cent. less
favourable. The total export of tea for the season is
expected to be under sixty million pounds. There were
buyers of silk at higher prices.—Times City Article, Monday
