CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
There is a little more firmness in the rates cur-
rent in the general discount market, although the II
actual movement is unimportant, owing to the I,
abundant supplies of floating capital, and compara-
tively moderate amount of paper offered for nego-
st
tiation.

The acoounts from the manufacturing districts 1
during the past week were of a rather unsatisfac-
tory character. Business at Manchester continued
dull, and both cloths and yarns exhibited a farther
st.
s.tt.,
decline in prices. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad-
ford, Halifax' and Huddersfield was dull as usual at "'
this season of the year. At Leicester and Notting-
tato there has, been little change of importance in
the hosiery and lace departments, but considerable
activity has prevailed in the hardware districts,

and their immediate neighbourhood.

THE MET.ROPOLIIAN RAILWAY.

The disappointments and delays with which the
Metropolitan Railway had to contend at its earlier
stages appear destined to follow it to its completion.
Ir. Fowler, the engineer of the line, stated in his
last report that everything would be ready for the
°Pening on Oct. 1. Since that time there have been
411tnerous excuses put forward as the reason for not
°pelling the line to the public. Last week it was
stated
that the line would be opened for traffic on
the day on which the new Lord Mayor would be in-
augurated, and on which the Prince of Wales would
attain his majority. There is now a further post-
P°naent of the opening till Monday, the 17th
There is reason, however, to believe that the line
'Will not be open much before Christmas. It is re-
Darted that there is some 14 hitch" between the
Metropolitan' awl the Great Western Railway as to
the working of the line. Thd hater company had
entered into a provisional agreement to work the
railway for 45 per cent. of the gross receipts. This
"as considered a most advantageous bargain for the
Metropolitan Railway, and proportionately disad-
'antageous for the Great Western Railway. It is
I,low rumoured that the Great Western Company
have repented of their bargain, and seek to restrict
the agreement of working to the through traffic
°nIY, and that they are willing to work that portion
of the traffic with which the Great Western is con-
nected for 45 per cent., but not the local and inter-
niediate traffic of the line.
