CITY, Two O'CLOCK

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week have been of an encouraging
character. The woollen trade of Leeds has shown
more activity, and the dealings in heavy cloths for
the winter demand has been to an average extent.
Wools and yarns, at Bradford, have been inquired
for, and in the market for piece goods there has
been more animation. Business at Manchester has
shown a marked improvement, owing to the
influence of the late favourable weather, the
dealings in goods suitable to the India and China
markets having considerably increased. There is
not much alteration to report in the general state
of business at Leicester and Nottingham. Stocks,
however, are low, bat the operatives are now
engaged principally with harvest work. At Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a more
animated tone has been apparent ; no material
alteration, however, can at present be reported.
The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues
active.

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
with a buoyant appearance, and prices were fully
maintained. The sales were estimated at 15,000
bales, of which 1,000 were for export and 3,000 on
speculation. In the Railway Share Market busi-
ness was restricted, and the quotations of some of
the principal lines were depressed.
Owing to the limited inquiry for general pill.-
poses, and the abundant supply of money, the rates
of discount still tend downwards, business being
reported in first class securities at 3,1 per cent.
Notwithstanding the probability of an augmented
demand towards the end of the month there is an
impression that lower quotations will speedily
%pre-
vail, especially if the specie movement should con-
tinue favourable.

A further sum of £20,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank of England on Saturday.
The amount of specie to be taken out by the
Oneida to the Brazils to-day is £36,129, of which
£21,129 is in gold, and £14,000 is in silver.
The adyices received this morning from New
York report increased activity in the Money Mar-
ket, and the rates tended upwards. The Stock
Market was very dull, and lower prices were cur-
rent, but the exchange on London had advanced to
110 to 110 k for 60 days' bills.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 24th August
show an increase of £716 compared with the same
period in 1859.

The market for English Securities presents a very
dull appearance, and further sales having been
effected prices have tended downwards. Not-
withstanding the progress of the harvest and
the easiness of money, the speculators seem to
anticipate increased depression, and operate
accordingly. Consols are 931 for money, and 931
for the account in October. The New 3 per Cents.
are 93/ 1 ; and a special transfer is recorded in the
Reduced at 931. India Loan is firm at 1031 ;
ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 961 ; ditto 51
per Cent. 1021; and Exchequer Bills remain at par
to 3s. prem.

In the Foreign Stock Market a moderate degree
of activity has prevailed, and prices are tolerably
firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 4 ; ditto New
Loan, 571 ; Mexican have advanced to 21t I :
Peruvian 3 per Cents. are steady at 74: ; Brazi-
lian 44 per Cents. at 871 ; Spanish Deferred at 40*;
ditto Certificates at ; but Buenos Ayres 6 per
Cents. have receded to 97.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Company's shares
are 2 I pm. ; the Thames and Mersey, -1 t pm.
and the Universal, f, pm.
