MONEY MARKET A.LVD CITY NE U'S.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

From most of the manufacturing districts the
accounts continue satisfactory. Considerable ac-
tivity has prevailed in the woollen cloth trade, at
Leda, during the past week, and the operatives are
well employed. In the various cloth halls there
Was a good attendance of buyers, and prices were
fully sustained. At Bradford only a limited busi-
ness has been done in piece goods, but there has
been an active enquiry for light spring fabrics.
The hosiery trade, at Leicester, has con-
tinued exceedingly brisk, there being a large
number of orders in the market not yet completed.
Business at Manchester has shewn little variation
of importance; rather more activity has been ex-
perienced for the 'home demand, and some large
contract' for India goods have been entered into.
A healthy tone has pervaded all departments of
business at Birmingham, and the mills and forges
in the districts are mostly in full operation. At
Sheffield and Wolverhampton considerable activity
has been experienced in most branches of business.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday,
closed quietly, but prices were fully supported.
The sales were 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share
Market business was very restricted, but quotations
were firm.

About £15,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank on Saturday.

A steady business is reported in the general dis-
count market, but as bankers and others are nego-
tiating first class bills at 21 per cent. the applica-
tions at the Bank of England are not very numer-
ous. Trade is making steady progress throughout
the country, and it is consequently imagined that
the requirements of the commercial community will
steadily increase and promote the upward tendency
in the value of accommodation.

Further symptoms of weakness have been per-
ceptible in the market for English Securities, a
fresh decline, amounting to per cent. having been
announced at the commencement of business this
morning. The operations, both real and specu-
lative, although limited, have shown a preponder-
ance of sales, and Consols, in consequence, have
receded to 94a I for money, and to 941 for the
account. The New Threes and the Reduced are
941 95; and transactions have taken place in the
Indian Loan Stock at 1031 104 ; in the 5 per Cent.
Xnfaeed Paper at 99} ; and in the 51 per Cent.
ditto at 1054-

For Foreign Securities there is also a heavy
Market, but a moderate amount of business has
been negotiated. Chilian and Brazilian Bonds
have remained at nominal quotations, and Buenos
Ayres and Mexican have slightly declined. Turkish
6 per Cents. continue dull at 781 to 79; and ditto
New, 661 to 66; ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. have
been dealt in at 94:, the 3 per Cents. at 711 72k,
and the Dollar Bonds at 801. Buenos Ayres Bonds
are 83Z. _ _ _ _

Business in the Railway Share Market has
been rather dull, but in most instances prices have
shown increased heaviness. Eastern Counties,
North Western, South-Western, Midland, and
South-Eastern have declined ss. Caledonian, Great
Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North British,
and North-Eastern (Berwick), 10s., and Great
Western, £l.
