CITY NEWS---THIS DA/ .
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market retains a quiet and easy
appearance, with only limited inquiries for com-
mercial purposes, and quotations ranging fully
per cent. below the minimum of the Bank of Eng-
land. In exceptional cases, where the securities
offered are of an inferior class, and have only a few
days to run, accommodation may be obtained even
as low as 11 per cent., and advances on English
stock can be procured at 1 to 11 per cent. A favour-
able effect has evidently been produced by the late
extensive arrivals of specie, and the moderate de-
mand for exportation. In the course of the next
few days, however, the market is likely to become
rather more active, owing to the monthly liquida-
tion of commercial accounts, which, notw►thstand-
ing the quietude of trade, will no doubt temporarily
stimulate the inquiry for money; but, at the same
time, it is scarcely thought that any alteration will
take place in the quotations, because the current
supplies of floating capital are so largely in excess
of ordinary requirements.

Considerable excitement prevailed in several
departments of business in the manufacturing dis-
tricts last week, particularly of Manchester, where
an advance of is. to ls. 6d. per piece was exhibited
on cloths, owing to the recent advices from Ame-
rica. The woollen trade in the West Riding of
Yorkshire, viz., of Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield,

and several other places has been exceedingly
active, and the mills generally hive been working
" full time." At Leicester there has been more
animation as regards the woollen hosiery depart-
ment, but at Nottingham business has been in
some measure interfered with by the advance on cot-
ton at Liverpool. In the hardware districts, viz.,
of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton,
there has been little change of importance.
The Alaric, from China, has brought 1,220,201
lbs. of tea.

settlement. Subsequently, however, sales were
