" The influence necessarily attaching to the advanced
rate of discount by the Bank of England, as intimated in
our last Circular, with, according to our opinion, a
needless apprehension that a further rise would ere
this have taken place; the immense operations which
were entered into in December, and the very general
belief that the supply of Cotton would not only be
materially greater than the estimates at and before the
close of the last year indicated, and as a necessary con-
sequence, that the value of that article must not only de-
cline, but that lower rates for the manufactured one
would be surd to accompany it, have, combinedly, pro-
duced a feeling of external and real inactivity in this
market during the present month.
" Notwithstanding these several causes and their at-
tendant consequences, the transactions of the month,
though unaccompanied with animation, have been large,
and where mainly, if not wholly, the proceeds of pre-
viously existing contracts, as purchases and none of them
of any magnitude, have been cautiously limited to exist-
ing wants, under a very general impression that many
descriptions of both cloth and twist would, from the real
and prospective position of cotton, of necessity experi-
ence a decline."

The view taken by the compiler of this table, and not
an unreasonable one, is that the report of the French
Demonetization Commission will have considerable in-
fluence on the Continent in allaying apprehensions, and
that possibly, with the returning tranquillity of Ger-
many, silver will not maintain in London the price
which at present it bears.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week to Thursday last were 29,000 ounces of
gold to Belgium and Dunkirk, and 54,000 ounces of
silver.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts, as
furnished by Messrs. M'lN'air, Greenhow, and Irving, of
Manchester, state:—
