MONIFY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the past week there has been no mate-
rial alteration in the general state of trade in the
manufacturing districts. Business at Manchester,
however, has slightly improved, owing to the more
favour able advices from the Eastern markets.
There has also been a steady inquiry for goods suit-
able to the home markets, The woollen trade at
Leeds has been steady, the chief inquiries having
been for winter fabrics. Wools and yarns at Brad-
ford have shown an improved tendency in prices,
but the piece goods market still continued dull.
The hosiery trade at Leicester has decidedly im-
proved, and owing to the smallness of stocks in the
hands of manufacturers prices generally show more
firmness.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday,
a rather large amount of business was recorded,
but prices exhibited no material change. The sales
were estimated at 16,000 bales.

During the month of September mining dividends
were declared to the amount of £42,539.
The Bavaria, from New York, has arrived with
£29,400 in specie.

On Saturday payments of £124,076 and of
£27,900 were made to the Secretary of State for
India on account of the Punjaub and Scinde Rail-
ways.

Calls become due to-day on the following rail-
ways, viz.:—£2o per share, or £91,200, on the
Lancaster and Carlisle 41 per cent. Preference ; £1
45., or £lBO,OOO, on the Midland New Shares ;
£2 10s., or £37,500, on the North London New ;
and £2, or £15,000, on the Yale of Health Pre-
ference.

The usual quarterly payments have stimulated
the demand for money, a larger discount business
having been transacted within the last few days,
and the preparations for the bills due on Thursday,
the 4th of the month, are likely to maintain the
inquil,y during the present week. The rates, how-
ever, continue steady, and as the resources of the
market will be augmented by the payment of the
October dividends, increased firmness is generally
expected.

In the absence of active speculation the market
for P ablic Securities still presents a dull appear-
ance. The opening quotations indicated depression,
but a few purchases have now induced a firmer
tone, Consols being 93 to 931 for money, and 93} 1
for the account. India Loan is steady, at 1031 f ;
ditto Bonds are 6s. to ls. dis. ; and Exchequer
Bills are firmer at par to 3s. prem.
Very few dealings have been reported in the Fo-
reign Stock Market, and prices are tolerably firm.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 74 ; ditto New
551564 ; Mexican have improved to 22 ; Brazilian
44 per Cents. remain at 874 : Chilian 44 per Cents.
are 83 ; and Spanish Certificates 6.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11, 2
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, prem. ; and
the Universal, 4 1 prem.

Annexed is a further memorandum from the Com-
mittee of Mexican Bondholders relating to the re-
•lection of Miramon, and showing the system of
robbery and violence by which he is upholding him-
self as the representative of the ecclesiastical party.
In the interview between Miramon and the Spanish
Ambassador the latter suggested that some compro •
mise of the civil war should be entertained, in defe-
rence to " the ♦oice of friendly Governments," and
Miramon, in reply, avowed himself disposed to
listen to plans of pacification ; but the various col-
lateral remarks made by each plainly indicate that
their aspirations are directed only to such a settle-
ment as will restore the Church to uncontrolled
power : _

" The committee have since their notice in yesterday's
paper received a second letter from Mr. Whitehead, dated
Mexico, the 29th of August. The Assembly of Notables of
the capital had elected General Miramon to the post of
Presidente Interino, but he had been recognised as such
only by the Spanish Ambassador. A new Ministry had
been formed, consisting of General Almonti (absent) for
Foreign Affairs ; Lores, for Justice; Isidoro Dias, for the
Interior ; Corona, for War; Sagaseta, for Finance; and
MaHn, for Foment°. It was doubtful whether Aliment
would accept ; but, though it was he who negotiated the
treaty with Spain of September last year, which agreed to
the payment of an enormous indemnity on the part of
Mexico, his presence in Mexico at this moment was for
other reasons thought very desirable by the public gene-
rally. The Government having immediate need for
80,000 dole., the President had called together six of the
wealthiest residents of Mexico to supply the amount ; four
submitted, but two refused, and were sent to prison. They
have, however, since been set free. General Robles had
abandoned Jalapa,and was expected in Mexico to strengthen
the garrison there. The British Minister in Mexico thinks
it likely another oenclueta may shortly leave, attended with
less risk than the last, and free from the 8 per cent. impo-
sition."
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been limited to a few of the principal undertakings.
Great Northern, North Western, and Manchester,
Sheffield and Lincoln, have declined ss. Great
Western, North British, North Eastern, Leeds,
and South Eastern have declined ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
also shown very little variation. South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian realised 11. Grand Trunk
of Canada, 26 to 26i ; Great Western of Canada,
13k, and East Indian declined to 99 100.
