MONEY MARKET AND CITY IVEIVS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
continue of a very unsatisfactory character. At
Leeds business during the past week has been very
quiet, and at Manchester the slight improvement
noticed last week has been lost, particularly for
India goods. Wools and yarns at Bradford con-
tinue inactive, and less businc,,s than usual has
been recorded in piece goods. The hosiery trade
of Leicester, however, is moderately active ; but in
the various hardware districts, viz., at Birming-
ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, no material
improvement can be recorded.

There is now a very active demand for accommo-
dation and an extensive business will probably be
negotiated before the July dividends become pay-
able at the Bank of England. A considerable sum
is being absorbed by the payments into the Exche-
quer, and this, no doubt, has some effect upon the
market. At present, however, the rates exhibit
no material alteration, the best bills being nego-
tiable at 4 ner cent. On the Stock Exchange 4to
41 per cent. are the terms for temporary advances.
Rather less activity was apparent in the Liver-
pool Cotton Market on Saturday, but prices were
unaltered. The sales were estimated at 9,000 bales.
The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and
quotations were steadily supported.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England on Saturday.
The Southampton has been announced this
morning from Melbourne, with £77,000.
A call of 15 per cent., amounting to £166,725, is
due to-morrow on the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada 2d Preference, issue 1860.
There is very little animation in the market for
Public Securities to-day; the quotations continue
flat, although the variation in prices is unimportant.
A decline of 1- per cent., however, is reported, Con-
sols being 93/ I, owing to unfavourable advices
from France. The New Threes are flat at 92; 93; ;
the Reduced at 92; 93/ ; India 5 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper has receded to 97/ ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto
remains at 1021 ; the Debentures are 96/ ; and
Exchequer Bills par to / prem.
A very small amount of business has been trans-
acted in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices
show no material variation. Turkish 6 per Cents.
are 774 to 77/ ; ditto New, 60/ to 604 ; and the 4
per Cents. have improved to 102/, and Russian 3
per Cents. to 641. Portuguese are flat at 45k.
Venezuelan 3 per Cents. are steady at 24i ; ditto
1; per Cents, at 121.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 14 I
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey Z- 1 prem.; and
the Universal par f prem.

A very moderate business has been transacted
in the Railway Share Maket, and the few dealings
entered into have not shown any material altera-
tion in value. Midland and South-Eastern have
receded ss. ; North-Western, 10s.; South-Western
and North British have advanced 55.: and Great
Northern, 10s.

The Foreign undertakings were very quiet.
Lombardo-Venetian brought par, and Bahia and San
Francisco 71.

unaltered.
