MONEY MARKET

AND

001YfidMCIAL INTELLIGENCM.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The advices receivel this morning from the 12i
various manufacturing districts represent that trade 50
generally is slowly recovering. At Leeds business 13i
has been rather quiet, but there were symptoms of St.
Improvement, particularly in heavy goods suitable
for the autumn. There had been a good attendance 25
of buyers in the various cloth balls, and they ope-
25
rated to a fair extent, late rates having in all in- St.
stances being fully supported. At Huddersfield St;
there has been little change of importance, the manu- 50
facturers are well employed upon export orders, and a
for the home trade a good business has been done. 10
At Bradford a fair inquiry has existed for worsted 5010
Yarns, and for piece goods the home houses con- 25
Untie to order goods to a limited extent for the St.
autumn trade. The demand for the American St.
Markets has also improved, and upon the whole the St.
Manufacturers are actively engaged. At Manches 25
-
ter an improved demand has been experienced for st.
the wider :;:i1C1.5! of shirtings, and also for print- 20
10
ing cloths for the Levant markets, and the pros- St.
pects of the home trade are generally thought Ft.
to be exceedingly promising. A moderate amount 0
St.
of business has been done in yarns for both the
German and Mediterranean markets. The iron
trade of South Staffordshire has exhibited very
little change, and business has been remarkably
quiet. There has been a very limited demand from
the United States, and moat of the works are only
Partially employed. The fancy and general trades
of Birmingham are moderately active, and large
numbers are employed in the carriage manufactur-
ing departments for the various East Indian Rail-
way Companies. The lace trade at Nottingham
has exhibited syreptom.s'ofimprovement. Purchases
to some extent have been made far the German
and American markets, and upon the whole the
trade is healthy, and stocks light. The hosiery

trade at Leicester continues flat for exportation, 12
but for home use there is a fair inquiry for the 8,1"
lower qualities of goods. In the hardware trades 25
Of Sheffield and Wolverhampton there has been f.cit•
very little improvement. The orders from Amer- Bt.
ioa are small, and prices generally are not sup- t
Ported. A steady improvement, however, is ex- 25
Pected before long, particularly in goods suitable iOO
to the India and China markete. 2510
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday 20
Closed firmly, and prices were fully supported for
all descriptions. The sales were estimated at
12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the
sPeculators, and 13,000 by the exporters. In the
Railway Share Market there was a moderate
business transacted, at a slight decline in value.

The specie movement during the last few days
Ilse been rather important. A. comparatively
aoiall amount has arrived, while the efflux, on the
other hand, has suddenly increased. The last
'weekly balance-sheet, it is true, exhibited
141 augmentation iu the bullion, but since
,the period to which it was completed a few
heavy withdrawals have been effected. On
Saturday, for example, abaut 140,0001. was
taken away for transmission to Paris, to discharge,
zt is presumed, some commercial liabilities on
'American account. Recent advices from the
'United States, while recording a slow but pro-
gressive improvement in trade, have intimated
that orders have been sent to Europe for
articles of foreign manufacture, and in settle-
ment of such operations, remittances from
kevr York via London must be expected.
The steamers from that port have latterly brought
moderate supplies of the precious metal, and the
Persia, reported to-day, has about 80,0001. A large
importation from Australia is shortly expected,
lad there can be no doubt that during the next
two or three months the aggregate receipts will be
toesiderable. A large portion may be diverted to
the continent, but if so, it would not create sur-
prise nor materially influence the operations in, or
Idle quotations of, the Public Funds.
No tidings have yet been received of the Aus-
tralian mail, although now almost a week overdue.
It is surmised that the Victoria, the steamer ap-
pointed on this occasion to perform the service
lattveen the colony and Suez has broken down,
43r Met with some accident which has impeded her
Progress. This presumption is strengthened by the
pct that some defect was discovered in her build
'4llllher voyage out, and that the dock accommoda-
-4411 in the Colony would not admit of the requi-
Nte alterations being effected. The intelligence
expected is to 11th April from Sydney, and to the
15th from Melbourne.
. Continued depression is apparent in the market
iclr public securities, and the American advices,
the heaviness of the Paris Bourse, and the gold
Withdrawal from the Bank,s have led to a further
!light decline. Business is very dull, and
410 tendency of values 'is still further
to recede. Consols have been transferred at
see 97, inclusive of interest, but ex. dividend for
aecount, they are marked 951 I and 9511. They
kr!) now 951 being firmer. The New Three per

ate 99 to 99,E ; ditto Bonds, 17s. to 21s. prem. ;

Very few transactions are recorded in the Foreign

Nrtuguese 3 per Cents., 461 ; Mexican, 20g ;

A very limited business has been done to-day in
the Railway Share Market, and most of the lead-
'44g limes show a further decline of about k to 4 per
%tit. Great-Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
,k..4outh-Western,Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
'elerth British and North Eastern (Berwick), de-
lined 10s. ; and North-Eastern (York), 1/. Caledo-

lzhibited a downward tendency. Paris and Lyons
rve receded ss. ; Great Luxembourg, ss. ; East

..._'ll,stern of Canada, ss. ; and Great Indian Penin-
e, Bs. Mining Shares are at quite nominal

Par Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
tier* has been very little enquiry. London Char-
red of Australia have declined 55., and Oriental
