MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the manufacturing districts during the past
week business in most departments has been par-
tially suspended, owing to the Easter holidays.
At Manchester, however, prices of both yarns and
cloths have slightly advanced, the demand for
India, China, and the Mediterranean having been
more active. The woollen trade at Leeds has con-
tinued dull but steady, while at Halifax, Rochdale,
and Huddersfield the dealings have been principally
in light fabrics, for home demands. The hosiery
and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham have
remained without material variation. In the hard-
ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol-
verhampton there have been signs of increased ani-
mation in most departments, in consequence of the
improvement of the weather. _

There is very little alteration to notice in the
general condition of the Money Market, but 2k
instead of 2 per cent. is now the charge for first
class bills, a firmer tone having been created by the
impending settlement at the Stock Exchange and
other temporary influences. With regard to the
future prospects of the market, it is generally
thought that continued easiness and abundance will
prevail some time longer, and the mercantile com-
munity, therefore, merely supply their immediate
requirements. Some effect may nevertheless be
produced by the transmission of the proceeds of the
foreign loans lately negotiated, while the Russian
operation, if successful, may also be expected to
affect the ultimate tendency of monetary affairs.
The specie movement continues favourable, owing
to the large receipts from Australia, America, and
other sources of supply, and the limited demand for
exportation.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday,
business was moderately active, and prices were
steady. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales.

At the Bank of England, on Saturday, there
were no bullion transactions of importance.
The Niagara from New York has browght Xll,OOO,
and the Shannon, from the West Indies, £370,800
in specie. _ _

The traffic receipts of the Cheat Wvoteru Railway
of Canada, for the week ending the 11th inst.
amounted to £10,613 against £11,167 last year.
A third call of £2 per share has been made by the
directors of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway,
payable on or before the 23d proximo.
