From most of the manufacturing districts the
accounts are very satisfactory. During the past
week there has been a numerous attendance of
buyers at the Leeds cloth halls, and a gcod demand
was experienced for cloths for the ensuing season.
The more favourable advices from the East have
given an impulse to India goods at Manchester, and
prices have shown an upward tendency ; and the
transactions in goods suitable to the home trade
have been more active. At Bradford business has
been rather quiet for wools, but yarns were in fair
request at full prices; and in the market for piece
goods there has been a more than average business
transacted. Business at Birmingham continued
steady, most of the operatives being in full employ-
ment ; and the iron trade of the south of Stafford-
shire has been exceedingly steady. At Sheffield
and Wolverhampton there has been no change of
importance in the general prospects of business,
most branches being busy, while the workpeople
generally were fully employed.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a
fair amount of business was transacted, but prices
were depressed. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales. The Railway Share-Market closed quietly,
and exhibited no change of importance:
Tho Money Market remains without any change
of importance, but there is a good inquiry, and the
rates charged for accommodation continue steady.
Payments connected with new enterprises are in-
fluencing the general inquiry, and the ordinary
requirements of trade are also on the increase.
Moderate quantities of gold continue to be with-
drawn from the Bank of England, for transmission
to the Continent, nearly £40,000 having been pur-
chased for that purpose on Saturday.
At the meeting of the Union Bank of Australia,
held to-day, the report proposing a dividend of £2
per share for the half-year was adopted.
The market for English Securities opened with a
firmer aspect, and a rise of per cent. took place,
owing to the intelligence from France relative to
a modification of the tariff in that country,
and additional support has been given to values by
the tendency of political affairs. Consols have
been 951- •:) for money, and 95Z- 1 for account, The

Canadian Loan has advanced to 31a prem., some
large purchases having been made.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
