the 'Union Bank of Australia, the bankers to the
Queensland Government. The consolidated revenue

The arrivals from the manufacturing districts for
the past week have again been of a rather unsatis-
tory character. Business at Manchester has re-
mained very quiet, and prices of cloths and yarns
have slightly given way. In the woollen trade of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, there has
been little improvement ; while at Lei.tester
and Nottingham the transactions have beon on a
very restricted scale, and only for immediate home
requirements ; while at Birmingham and Sheffield
there has been little change to report from the
depression lately prevailing in most of the principal
branches of business. At Wolverhampton, how-
ever, more activity has prevailed, owing to the
receipt of some extensive orders for railway iron for
exportation.

With regard to the Danubian Loan all kinds of
rumours have been in circulation. It is very well
known that the amount is £1,000,000 or there-
abouts, and the last report is that it will be issued

can be no doubt of the success of the operation.
Full particulars will no doubt appearin to-morrow's
Morning journals.

rather restricted, but the public have been buyers,

money, and 91 for the account.
