MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocii.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
during the past week have been of a rather more
satisfactory character. A slight improvement has
taken place in the value of cloths at Manchester
owing to the inquiries for the East Indian and
China markets. At Leeds the dealings in woollen
goods have been chiefly on light fabrics for home
use. The demand for yarns at Bradford has been
dull, but piece goods have been in moderate favour,
and the operatives have been moderately employed
Owing to the receipt of orders on French and
Canadian account. In the hardware districts there
has been little change of importance, and at Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton about an
average amount of business has been done in the
principal staples of the neighbourhood.
A large amount of gold, viz., £llO,OOO was with-
drawn from the Bank of England on Saturday for
the Continent.

The Seine for the West Indies has taken
£25,255, and the Indus which leaves to• morrow for
India, China, &e., will take out £73,470 in specie.
Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market on
Saturday was rather quiet, but prices were firmly
maintained. The sales were about 5,000 bales.
There is rather more demand for discount accom-
modation, owing to the preparations for to-morrow,
the 4th of the month, Owing to the dulness of
trade, the engagements now maturing are not very
extensive, although quite sufficient to impart a
little temporary activity. The continued abundance
of money, however, prevents any material variation
in the rates, and first-class bills are still negotiable
as low as 2-} per cent.

The Tyne, from the Brazils, has brought £14,400
in specie.

The market for Public Securities opened quietly,
but sales afterwards took place which caused a de-
cline amounting to per cent., Consols being 92t
for money and the 6th inst., and 921 for March.
