CITY, QUARTER TO 71i
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for export and spe-
culation. The market wris steady, bat quiet. Railway
Shares were in better demand, at improved price..
The effet of the exportation of bullion from Enzland
to the United States has been but trivial and evanescent,
for already the Bank returns ow an increase of spccie.
This is for the week to the Ish2.th inst. The circulation,
however, again testifies to the Fcreasiug abundance of
honey, attributable no doubt to the ch€ek Lady given to
trade by the troubles abroad. This saute cause operates
'upon the securities discounted, &c. The results of a
c‘lnparisoo between the statement before us and that for
the previous week are as follow.::

The negotiation of bills of exchange on the principal
cities of the Continent was effected yesterday afternoon
upon the following terms :—Paris 25 55 to 60, Antwerp
25 671 to 721, Hamburgh 13 121 to 121. Frankfort 1211
to it, Amsterdam 12 11 to 2, and Trieste 11 48 to 12 3.
9 bills on Italy there was no inclination to deal.
The following statements respecting trade in the ma-
litufacturing districts have been received to-day. First,
from Manchester, we ate advised that—
"It is a difficult thing to give the exact state of our
cloth and yarn markets. Prices continue much depressed;
still the carriers say, and they are not bad judges in such
,a "se that they have no reason to complain; and it may
ue said in confirmation, that the quantity of goods
moving to and fro along the streets is anything
buying
insignificant. The American houses are
oteeis 2
ug largely, especially of good prints, and a
largedemand
business is doing for the Mediterranean, whilst the
ef_ee.raand seems rather to have slackened for India and
;411411. Prlcos, on the whole, seem to have undergone
nttle change this week, but, if any, it bas been in favour
of the buyer. Yarns are indeed very dull sales, at least
sll export numbers for the continent of Europe; perhaps
" were unreasonable to expect anything different at the
present moment."
From Yorkshire the accounts are tolerably good, and
subjoined is a report from Leicester:—
' " The home market is usually dull at this season of
the year, but an average business is doing. A steady
American shipping trade continues. Manufacturers are
fulls, employed in working up their stock of yarns, and
cotton goods on hand are considered light for this
period. Worsted spinners are all working full time.
Yarns are without alteration. The colonial wool sales
now going on in London fetch quite as good prices as
last February, contrary to the general expectation."
Ori the whole, therefore, there is no reason to com-
plain of the state of affairs.
_ The quarantine at Gibraltar has been reduced to
three days, but remains the same at the other ports.
The Mining Share market has been steady this week.
The Funds are rather flztter this morning, owing to
Nne unfavourable news from Paris. Consols are 911 ;
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 901 ; and the
"Three per Cents., 891 to 90. Exchequer-bills are down
to 45,. and 445. prem.
Foreign Stocks are generally dull and rather heavy.
I)ithigh Three per Cent!. are 33 to i; Portuguese Four
Per Cents., 281 ; and Dutch Two-and-a Half per
Cents., 491.
Shares are fairly supported.
