CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The progress of business in the manufacturing
districts during the past week has been rather in-
active. At Manchester spinners have slightly re-
duced the price of yarns, while cloths generally
have been at lower quotations. The woollen trade
at Leads has continued dull, the chief operations
having been in light fabrics for the spring
demand. At Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield
no material change can be reported, but a few
orders have been received for fabrics suitable to the
French and Canadian markets which have been
sufficient to give partial employment to the opera-
tives. At Leicester there has been a better tone in
the hosiery trade, but in the hardware districts,
Viz., of Birmingham, Sheffield, and -Wolverhampton,
no material alteration has taken place.

A further sum of about £BO,OOO, in foreign gold,
Was withdrawn from the Bank of England on
Saturday.

The Asia, from New York, has brought £40,780

in specie.

The America, for Halifax and Boston, took
£50,000 in specie on Government account.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, a
steady inquiry prevailed, and prices were un-
changed. The sales were 5,000 bales.
There is a steady demand for discount accommo-
dation, and in some quarters the supply of com-
mercial bills is stated to be rather on the increase.
The rates continue easy, viz., at 2/ to 2 per cent.
for first class securities, and, notwithstanding, the
large aggregate amount absorbed by new projects,
the market is still abundantly supplied with float-
lng capital, and on the Stock Exchange the in-
quiry for advances is exceedingly moderate, still
they can be obtained on unusually favourable
terms.

At the meeting of the Ocean Marine Insuranc
Company held to-day, the recommendation of the
directors for the payment of £5 interest was agreed
to. The sarplus of property, £115,653, was ordered
to be carried forward against current risks.
