MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
Owing to the settlement of the account the variations
in the English funds to-day have been extensive, and
the occurrence of four failures has kept the market in a
state of excitement. Consols for money opened at an
advance Of per cent., the first price being 85L to 86i.
From this they declined to 85k, then again advanced to
1554, but finally receded to 85k, at which price they
closed sellers. For the account the range was from 861
down to 115 i, and the last quotation was 86 sellers. The
fluctuations in Consols between the last settlement and
that which took place
cent. to-day have been nearly 7 per
The four failures in the Stock Exchange alluded to
above were Mr. Henry Whitmore, a broker (not Messrs.
Whitmore and Son, as stated in some of the evening
1- papers); Messrs. Secretan and Capper, brokers, who
have been sacrificed by a principal; Mr. William Ab-
Lett, a jobber; and Mr. William Eykyn, a broker. Of
failure. the largest was that of Mr. Whitmore,
Whose differences are to the extent of 12,0001., and whose
118"141 are estimated at 6s. Bd. in the pound.

The failure of Messrs. Tanner and Ward, leather
factors, was announced this afternoon. The liabilities
,rtre 53,000 L, of which 25,0001. nonsist of acceptances.
or some time they have been struggling With a declin-
ing trade, and it 16 not expected that their assets will
Yield more than 10s. in the pound. The connexions of
• the firm are said to be wealthy.
Letters from Glasgow, received this afternoon, an-
hounce the kuspension of Messrs. A. and J. Downie,
with liabilities ranging from 150,0001. to 170,0001. The
firm were drysalters, but they are said lately to have
embarked largely in the Mediterranean trade. Two
.othar failures are also mentioned, but they are not of
any considerable amount. From Liverpool we have
the failure of Mr. Ashburner, a leather factor. Ilia
• liabilities are between 30,0001. and 40,0001, and the
assets are stated to be rather more than 10s. in the
Pound.
From Rotterdual, under date 234 inst., the stoppage
• of two houses is reported, the parties being Riewit and
§augeveldt and B. Rouffeer and Suns. In neither case
is the amount of any importance.
The Antwerp Journal of Commerce announces the
temporary suspension of Hennekinne Briard, of Mons ;
but it is also stated that the assets far exceed the liabi-
lities of the house.—Tinies.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
8111,-1 beg to call your attention to a statement in
Your City article of this evening, in which you mention
that Whitmore and Son had this morning been declared
• defaulters in the Stock Exchange. The least inquiry
would have satisfied you that this was a mistake, as I am
the person who was so declared ; nor am I connected in
'business with those gentlemen.
Trusting to your giving immediate insertion to this
letter, I remain, Sir, your obedient servant.

• • STLTII or Thipm.—The hosiery trade continues
in a most depressed condition in all its varied branches,
those more immediately connected with the town being
in the worst state. The drawer and pantaloon branches
have receded ; the frames in many shops are more than
half standing or stinted. The silk glove branch has
tlikewise become a shade worse ; we have, however,
Leard of the cut-up stocking trades being a shade better.
All is despondency and gloom, and a general stagnation
'• Prevails in everything but emigration to the United
States, which is going on at a rapid rate ; the informa-
tion recently received is flattering and encouraging, both
, as regards agriculture and manufactures. The immense
Jaw:ober of stockingers who have arrived at Philadelphia
mud German Town have for a short time paralysed the
trade in those places, but the smiths, who receive high
ir,Ages, having turned out and recruited frames, the
'lands are again pretty well employed, and that at fair
wagaa. The cotton lace trade is in a most depressed
Condition, though a shade improved since our last, there
'certainly being more bleached and got up. We have
heard of several very singular inventions now in agita-
.", in this manufacture, some of which are of consider-
-, •, ante and immense importance, such as the making of
' figured window curtains. The black silk lace trade,
though rather dull, continues in a tolerable condition,
When compared to the other departments ; the attempt
to make
• Inake cotton resemble silk to the eye, which was
• "eoraplished as regards appearance, on application is
=found to be a failure, as it will neither stand the dye-tub
'nor bear the heat of a dry room, in the latter case of
which the composition peels off. The warp lace trade
1,1/ in a most lamentable state, though in a single case or
hmamo somewhat improved to a slight extent. A Notting
8„ warp hand, who has recently passed through
Lapi•ford and Bramcote, gives a most lamentable de-
sc of those lice flourishing villas, most of the
warp frames being more or less out o employment.—
