MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
During the past week there has been no material
improvement in the general progress of business in
the manufacturing districts. At Manchester the
advices from America have caused an almost total
suspension of business, as both spinners and manu-
facturers defer operations until further particulars
are ascertained. The woollen trade at Leeds has
been dull and inactive, and at Leicester and Not-
tingham there has been litcle variation in the gene-
ral aspect of business in the hosiery and lace de-
partments. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton prices have exhibited no change of import-
ance.

Extreme dulness prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were rather
depressed. The sales were only about 2,000 bales.
There is a steady demand for discount accommo-
dation, both in the general market and at the Bank
of England, although the requirements of the
mercantile community continue moderate. Ful
rates are required by the banks and discount
houses, and a preference is shown for short-dated
bills, owing to the probability of a further advance
if extensive remittances of gold should be made on
account of the foreign loans lately negotiated in
this country.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank of 6
England on Saturday requiring special notice.
The Ellora, sailing to-morrow with the Bombay
mail, will take out £24,714 in specie. I
An instalment of 10 per cent. became due to-day
on the Italian Railway Loan of £1,331,000.
