ZIONBY MARKET AND CITY IVETTrS.

CITY. Two o'CLoCK.

From the manufacturing districts during the past
Weak the accounts have been rather more satisfac-
tory. The woollen trade at Leeds has been more
active, chiefly for the home demand ; for export,
however, the transactions are still restricted, as
several large houses connected with the Eas-
tern markets have materially curtailed their
operations. At Bradford there has been a
limited inquiry for wools and yarns, and
the inquiries for piece goods have been
on a limited scale. There has been rather more
activity in some departments at Manchester. India
goods, however, are dull, merchants and shippers
awaiting the arrival of advices by the Overland
Mail. The hosiery trade at Leicester and Notting-
ham has shown greater animation, but there is
little change of importance to record in the various
hardware manufactures connected with the towns
of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a
moderate amount of business was transacted at
previous values. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales. _ _

The half yearly interest has been advertised for
Payment on Louisiania State Bonds.
The active demand for money is still reported in
the general market, and as the rates are within a
fraction of 4 per cent. the inquiries at the Bank of
England continue numerous. Besides the recent
absorption for railway and mining enterprise, there
has been a call for discount accommodation on com-
mercial account, and as trade seems to be slowly re-
viving increased employment is likely to be provided
for the resources at the command of the Bank and
discount houses. New projects are still being
formed, the Russian Bank, requiring £2,000,000,
being followed by the Algerian railways, for which
a capital of £2,200,000 is invited ; and if these
projects shall be successfully launched, they may
exercise an important bearing upon the Money
Market by stimulating the exportation of specie.
A meeting has been held to-day of the creditors
of Mr. W. J. Armstrong of Godalming, in the
leather trade, at which a balance sheet was pre-
sented, showing 1 ls. 3d. in the pound. An offer
of 10s. in the pound, however, was accepted, but
only two or three creditors were present.
A very heavy tone pervaded the market for
Public Securities, the speculators, who, however
enter into very few engagements, being encouraged
to effect sales in, consequence of the unsettled state
of the weather, the position of foreign affairs, espe-
cially in reference to the Syrian difficulty, and the
uncertainly felt with regard to the financial opera-
tion of the Government. Consols being 93 to 931

THE LADIES OF Aci AND GARlBALDL—Theladies
of Aci, in Sicily, have addressed a letter to General Gari-
baldi, announcing that from a wish to follow the noble
example of patriotism given by the women of Upper and
Central Italy, they intend to collect together and forward
to him a sum of 6,000 fr. which they had intended for the
purchase of their summer dresses. The donors express a
wish that the sum in question may be employed in the pur-
chase of muskets.
VISIT OF THE MOORISH PRINCES TO THE SUB-
MARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.. Ilis Highness Hadjee
Abderahman (attended by his Excellency Said Mahomed
it Shamee), the Moorish Ambassador, and Captain Lynch
honoured the Submarine Telegraph' Company's central
establishment, in Threadneedle-street, with a visit, on
Saturday. His Excellency the Ambassador to the Imperial
Court attended at the same time at the telegraphic
" bureau" of the French Goverment in Paris, so as to cor-
respond direct with his highness in London. A rapid con-
versation and interchange of compliments took place, and
much astonishment was shown when it was explained that
each movement made in London was instantly recorded in
Paris. Berlin was also addressed, and the communication
being instantaneous, much surprise was evinced. The royal
party afterwards visited the establishment of the London
District Telegraph Company, where some SO young ladies
were at work. From thence a message expressive of the
gratification they had derived was sent to General Bald, at
Claridge's Hotel.
