Business in the general discount marketCLOCK is very
quiet, at easy rates.
On Saturday there was an influx of £30,000 in
gold at the Bank of England.
The Tanjore has arrived from Alexandria with a
small sum of specie, equal to about £5,750.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 28 30 ex-Coupon, and the Con-
solidated Mortgage Bonds at 211 22.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
during the past week have generally been of a more
satisfactory character. At Manchester spinners and
manufacturers are fully employed under contract
for orders recently received from India and America,
and prices of cloths and yarns are supported not-
'withstanding the increased supplies of cotton at
Liverpool. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Brad-
ford, aad Huddersfield only moderate dealings have
been reported in seasonable goods, while from the
autumn and winter trade the operations as yet have
not been very extensive ; prices, however, are gen-
rally well sustained. In the lace and hosiery trades
of Leicester and Nottingham there has been a mo-
derate inquiry for seasonable goods; while at Bir-
r-eingliam Sheffield, and Wolverhampton in most
departments there has been a good demand for
home requirements at fully late prices.
