CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The advices received from most of the manufac-
turing districts this morning report that a slight
improvement has taken place on the demand for
several descriptions of fabrics. At Manchester
buyers of cloths suitable for the Indian markets
have shown more disposition to operat:, but the
prices they offer are too low to meet the require-
ments of manufacturers and spinners. In yarns
there has been very little animation,
and prices, it is expected, will rule lower. The
woollen cloth trade at Leeds has exhibited no ma-
terial change. In the various cloth halls there had
been a fair attendance of buyers: including the
agents of some large London houses, but they had
operated with considerable caution and only in
light goods suitable for the present season, but the
improvement id the weather has caused more brisk-
ness in trade generally. Business at Brad-
ford, however, has not exhibited much alte-
ration. There has been a slight improvement
in worsted yarns for export, but the terms offered
by merchants are so low that the spinners complain
that no profit can be realised at present rates. For

demand, more particularly for light fabrics. The
operatives appear to be gradually getting into
employment. At Huddersfield there bas been some
improvement in the woollen trade, chiefly
for home consumption, and trade has as-

sumed a more cheerful aspect, but there is
still a large number of operatives out of work.
The lace trade of Nottingham has been rather
active, chiefly for home use; the hosiery trade, how-
ever, remains very flat, and many of the large
manufacturing firms are only partially employing
their hands. At Birmingham track, continues very
quiet. There has been an increase in the demand
for manufactured iron for home use, but in the
various fancy trades connected with the town
there is only a slight amelioration. The button
trade is extremely flat, and the jewellery business
is extremely depressed. The hardware trades at
Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Wallsall have been
very quiet, but symptoms of improvement are
visible, although the orders received are small in
amount, and confidence seems to return very

The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed

with an animated appearance, and prices of all de-
scriptions were rather firmer. The sales were
estimated at 12,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. Rail-
way shares also exhibited a slight upward tendency.
There has been rather more demand for money
during the last few days, both in Loinbird street
and at the Bank of England, owing to the prepara-
tions mnde for a large number of commercial bills
connected with the East India trade, which are
now arriving at maturity. The supply, however,
continu, s abundant, and the terms charged for the
negotiation of good bills are still very moderate.
The supplies of Australian and other gold will tend
to keep financial affairs in an easy position, not-
withstanding the prospect of a loan. Great anxiety
is felt to ascertain the amount that will be required
to provide for the expenditure of the year. There

is naturally much diversity of opinion, though con-
fidence is expressed in the success of any plans
which may be proposed by Mr. Disraeli.
About 25,0001. in gold was taken into the Bank
on Saturday.

The advices from New York are of a more fa-
vourable character, especially as they report a fur-
ther advance in the rate of exchange, and ag there
is a probability of a further rise, the specie exports
from that country m 3.), consequently be resumed.

If this should be verified, there can be no doubt
that specie will continue to accumulate here, as

large remittances are coining forward from Austra-

gate was exceedingly large, owing to the continued
imports from California. The increased demand

which existed for money wai indicative, in some

respects, of a slight revival in trade.

Owing to the apprehension that the acquittal o
Dr. Bernard may create an unfavourable impres-
sion in France, the Funds have been depressed in

spite of the contemporaneous arrivals of gold, and
the expectation of a satisfactory result from the

discussion on the Budget. The speculators,

however, look for lower prices from the
Paris Bourse, and they have consequently

pressed sales. Consols for transfer have
been 96g 1, and 961 I ; for account, 96i
and 96 2 respectively. The New 3 per CAltr.

vincial Bank. After partaking of refreshment the
Prince and party left on one of the hotel cars for
Bantry, where the royal 3 acht was lying, and on
