London, England, 1865-07-31 00:00:00

The money market remains in a firm condition.
Bankers and brokers are unwilling to lend their
money under the official minimum, but the demand
for accommodation is very small. There appears
very little likelihood of any relaxation in the terms
during the week, as preparations will soon have to
be made for the bills falling due on the 4th inst.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week represent that business has
been more satisfactory. At Manchester prices of
both cloths and yarns have remained firm, conse-
quent upon the late advices from America as regards
the stock of cotton. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown more
activity, owing to a fair inquiry for winter'
fabrics, while the hosiery and lace trades
of Leicester and Nottingham, have been
in several instances more active. At Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been a
better demand for goods suitable for the home
trade, consequent upon the lowness of stocks in the
hands of provincial storekeepers.

corresponding period of 1864, showing a decrease
of £3,918,908. The decrease has been most per-
ceptible in cotton, yarn, cotton manufactures,
haberdashery, and millinery, silk manufactures,
and woollen and worsted manufactures.
