MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLooK.
During the past week the general state of busi- et
ness in the manfacturing districts has not materially :1,
altered.
The woollen trade at Leeds has been dull, the
Operations in .the Cloth Halls only being for imme-

di ate home requirements.
At Manchester there has been a slight improve- Bt(
went in the inquiry for India, but at lower quota- st:
tions. Wools and yarns at Bradford have been in- el
active, but the transactions in piece goods have :tt:
shown a more active inquiry for the home markets. Bt:
At Leicester there has been a partial improve-
eta
ment, owing to the receipt of considerable orders
for Canada. The iron trade of South Staffordshire et!
has continued dull, but a moderate amount of busi- st:
ness has been entered into in the various trades st,
carried on at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-

hampton. St(
There is a brisk demand for discount accommo-
dation,
the supply of bills having increased during
Ft!
the last few days, and the rates exhibit rather an st,
upward tendency, very little accommodation being
obtainable under 3i per cent. The inquiry is still
stimulated by the subscriptions made to now joint- 1,
stock projects, which continue to be brought for-
ward
with great rapidity ; and in most instances at,
they meet with a favourable reception at the hands st:
of the investing public. On the Stock Exchange sitt!
advances cannot be obtained under 3 or 31 per cent.
st,
A rather large business was recorded in the Kt,
Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday, and
