CITY, Two o'CLoalc.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
are satisfactory. During the past week a fair busi-
ness has been done at Manchester, and the demand
for India goods has decidedly improved. In the
woollen trade at Leeds a better business has been
transacted than for some time past, and most of the
manufacturers are fully employed. At Bradford
wools were in good demand, and yarns wore sought
alter for the home trade. Piece goods, however,
remained dull. The cotton hosiery trade at Lei-
cester continues active. At Nottingham, no ma-
terial alteration has taken place in the various de-
partments of the lace trade, but there has been a
good demand for hosiery. Business in most de-
partments at Birmingham has been quiet, but at
Sheffield and Wolverhampton rather more activity
has prevailed.
There is a brisk enquiry for money to-day, and
during the next fortnight the pressure is expected
to increase rather than diminish, owing to the set-
tlements at the Stock Exchange, the preparations
for the 4th of the month, &c. As new Joint Stock
Companies are coming forward, and several Foreign
States are likely to attempt the negotiation of
loans, it is expected that the market will continue
to present a firm appearance.
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
closed quietly, and prices were unaltered. The
sales were 8,000 bales. In the Railway Share
Market business was rather active, and quotations
exhibited a considerable improvement. 4
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine,
which leaves to•morrow for Bombay, will take out
£3,500 in gold, and £185,280 in silver, making a
a total of £188,780.
The only arrival of importance this morning has
been the Cleadon, from Melbourne, with £68,500.
The English Stock Market opened this morning
with a steady appearance, the intelligence from
the Continent not containing any new feature cal-
culated to produce depression. Very little busi-
ness, however, was negociated, speculation being
very dull. Consols have been 941 for money,
and 94: fi for account, but owing to a few pur-
chases they have improved to 94Z- 1, and 941
respectively: The Now India Loan is steady at
1044 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is flat at
98 2; and Exchequer Bills remain at 16s. to 19s.
prem.
A moderate amount of business is recorded in
Foreign Securities, and prices are steady. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 79-1 to 80 ; ditto New, 621- to 621 ;
and the 4 per Cents. remain at 1014-; Peruvian
Uribarren at 831, and Brazilian 41 per Cents. at
91 ; Dutch 2 per Cents. are firm at 66, and Rus-
sian 5 per Cents. are 107 x. The New Brazilian
Loan is par to a prem.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 31
prem. ; the Universal ditto, 4 prem. ; the Buenos
Ayres Railway are 12 prem. ; and the Canada
Scrip is 11 2 prem.
The Railway Share Market has been moderately
active, and several of the principal lines have shown
increased buoyancy. Caledonian, Great Northern,
Great Western, North-Western, and Midland have
improved ss. ; and South-Western, 10s. North-
Eastern (Berwick), Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton, and South-Eastern, have declined ss.
In the Foreign and Colonial Markets business
has been inactive. Paris and Lyons declined ss.
Northern of France, Lombartlo-Venetian, and West
Flanders are a shade flatter. Grand Trunk of
Canada are steady, at 34 ; Great Western of
Canada, at 13Z ; East Indian, 1021 to 10211.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
dull. Bank of Australasia have declined £1;
Union of Australia, ss. ; Canada Loan, L 2 to £3;
Peninsular and Oriental Steam New Shares have
improved ss.
