MONEY MARKET AND PITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
ry ,
ish From the advises received this morning from the
ie, various manufacturing districts, it appears that
business during the past week has shown very
it little improvement in the principal branches of
end trade. At Leeds the operations have been
!at below the average, but prices generally re-
nd main steady. At Bradford there has been
nd rather more inquiry for light goods for the
Let summer demand, but only a limited business has
.n-
-h been done in yarns. The wool and cotton hosiery
nt trades of Leicester has shown more activity, and
!re the operatives generally are fully employed. India
Dr- goods at Manchester have been dull, and the de-
to pression lately prevailing has in some measure in-
creased. In yarns a decline of Id. per lb. has taken
of
di- place. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has
)ne continued exceedingly dull ; at Birmingham, Shef-
is- field, Walsall, and Wolverhampton business has
le-
aer been remarkably quiet for the time of year.
ra- There has been an active demand for money
to
.est during the last few days, and a slight advance
ur- has occurred in the rates, bankers and others
oy,
am having taken advantage of the increased require- .
the ments of the public to ask higher terms for the
to use of their capital. As the supply of money has
her
her at the same time become reduced, the applications
ing at the Bank are more numerous than for some
aim
Lere time past.
the The Liverpool Cotton market, on Saturday, closed
Lted
Les- quietly, and prices were with difficulty supported. 6
who The sales were about 6,000 bales. In the Railway
yen share market a fair amount of business was trans. s.

Kee
this day, a half-year's dividend at the rate of 6 per s
