MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
represent that during the past week there has
been very little change of importance. The woollen
trade at Leeds has been quieter, and at Manchester
the unfavourable advices from the East have
caused increased heaviness in the market for India
goods. Worsted yarns at Bradford have been very
dull ; and in the piece goods department, manu-
facturers complain of want of orders. At Leicester
and Nottingham, hosiery has continued dull for
the season ; and in the various hardware districts
no change of importance can be noticed. The iron
trade of South Staffordshire has shown little or no
improvement.
A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and pre-
vious rates were fully supported. The sales
amounted to 10,000 bales.
The traffic receipts on the Great Western Rai

way of Canada for the week ending the 20th ult ,
amounted to £5,562, being an increase of £39 com-
pared with the same period in 1859.
The commercial engagements of the 4th of the

month having been liquidated, the demand for

money has diminished, and the market presents a
relieved appearance, although no alteration has
taken place in the rate of discount-3i per cent
being the lowest charge in private channels. There
is still a plentiful supply in the hands of bankers
and others, and hence it is expected that the terms
will continue moderate, especially as the require-
ments of trade are comparatively limited:
A heavy tone still pervades the Market for Public
Securities, the speculators, although operating to a
very limited extent, still being inclined to effect
sales in consequence of the position of Continental
politics. Consols have been 931 I for money and
account. The settlement being fixed for Thursday
next, the necessary preparations occupy the atten-
tion of the members. The New 3 per Cents. and
the Reduced are heavy at 93: ; India Stock is at
217 ; ditto New Loan remains at 1044; ditto 5 per
Cent. Enfaced Paper is flat at 971 ; Exchequer
Bills are steady at 3s. to 6s. prem.

and the 4 per Cents, are 101: ex div.; Spanish
Deferred are heavy, at 40; and Russian 41 per
Cents., at 94 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1858, are
steady, at 88.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1 prem. ; and the
Universal, 1 1 prem.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been limited, and a downward tendency has pre-
vailed in prices. Caledonian, Great Western, and
South Eastern, declined 58. ; Bristol and Exeter,
Eastern Counties, Great Northern, and Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 10s. ; and South Western, 15s.
