CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The advices from the various manufacturing
districts in the north of England continue of a
satisfactory character. During the past week
there has been greater activity in the cloth halls at
Leeds, and more than an average amount of busi-
ness has been done. Trade at Bradford has been
steady. Worsted yarns were in fair demand, and
a favourable business was transacted in piece goods
--chiefly in fancy fabrics for the spring. At Man-
chester there has not been much activity, owing to
the usual stock-taking having been in progress in
most departments. Indian goods, however, have
shown rather more buoyancy, and prices are tend-
ing upwards. The hosiery trade of Leicester has
continued active, and the demand for all useful
goods ha:: been on the increase ; full rates have been
current for wools and yarns. Business at Birming-
ham has been rather quiet, but most of the staple
manufactures of the town were active, and orders
for exportation to some extent have been given out.
At Sheffield and Wolverhampton there has been
an improved demand for most descriptions of goods ;
and in South Staffordshire the iron trade continues
active.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a
moderate amount of business was transacted, and
prices were unaltered. The sales were 8,000 bales.
The Railway Share market closed with rather
more animation, and quotations tended upwards.
There is very little alteration in the terms charged
for discount accommodation, but owing to the dimi-
nished inquiry choice bills are in some instances
negotiated at a fraction under the Bank of Eng-
land Minimum. The payment of the dividends has
commenced, and the large amount of money thus
realised may create temporary quietude ; but the
specie movement, and the employment of capital in
new joint-stock enterprises, lead to the expectation
that greater firmness will soon be experienced.
The English Stock Market opened this morning
with a steady appearance, but the transactions do
not at present indicate the least increase of specu-
lative business. Meanwhile Lona fide dealings are
Prevented by the transfer books being shut;
they will, however, be re-opened on the 18th,
when more activity may be experienced.
