OSEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week mention that business in most
departments has shown no material alteration with
regard to the demand for textile fabrics. The
woollen cloth trade at Leeds has continued dull,
but prices are generally well sustained. Business
at Manchester has been extremely inactive, only
limited dealings having been effected on India
goods. At Bradford a slight improvement has taken
place in the inquiries for heavy cloths suitable
to the American markets. Wools and yarns were
quiet, but realised fully late prices. At Leicester a
steady amount of business has been done in worsted
hosiery. The high price of the raw material, how-
ever, has decidedly interfered with the production
of stocks. The wool market continued quiet. In
th• various hardware districts there has been no
change of importance. Rather more activity has
prevailed in some branches of business at Birming-
ham ; but at Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhamp-
Um only moderate dealings have taken place in
the principal staples of the neighbourhood. The
iron trade of South Staffordshire, however, has
shown symptoms of increasing activity.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
business continued rather active, and prices tended
upwards. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales.
It transpired on Saturday afternoon that Messrs.
J. and E. Williams, sugar agents, &c., had been
compelled to stop payment, in consequence of the
failure of Mr. Holmaear, refiner, of Whitechapel,
and some excitement naturally ensued in the
neighbourhood of Mincing-lane.
About £35,000 in gold was withdrawn from the

Bank of England 'on Saturday.
To-day a call of £lO per share, amounting to
£40,000, is due on the Danube and Black Sea Rail-
way Shares.
The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 20th ult.,
exhibited an increase of £1,894 compared with the
Corresponding period in 1859.
There is a steady demand for money, and the
quotations show no variation, first class securities
being still negotiated in the general market or I
Per cent. below the Bank of England minimum;
but the uncertain prospect of monetary affairs con-
sequent upon the flow of gold to the Continent cause
Capitalists to proceed with caution. The future
eourse of the quotations mainly depends upon the
specie movement, and the continuous withdrawals
of gold from the Bank, in the absence of fresh ar-
rivals from Australia, &c., induce most persons to
believe that increased restrictions will have to be
enforced.

A moderate business has been transacted to-day
in the Market for Public Secdrities, which now de-
rives some support from purchases in anticipation
of the dividend. The advices from the Continent
also appear less discouraging, and a better feeling
generally prevails. Consols have been 93Z 1 for
money, and 93f t for the account. The New
Threes and the Reduced have improved to 911 ;
India 6 per Cent. Rupee Paper is heavy, at 91;
ditto 51 per Cent. remains at 101; ditto Debentures
are steady at 96 1 ; but Exchequer Bills are flat
at 3s. discount.

Foreign Securities, and prices are tolerably well
attlVorted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 711 to 711 ;
ditto New, 571 to 58 ; Brazilian are firmer at 981

Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued moderately active, and several of the prin-
cipal lines have shown increased firmness. Caledo-
nians and Midlands have improved 55., and Great
Westerns 10s. South Easterns, however, declined
