MONEY MARKET

AND
COMM C JAL INTELLI GEN OE,

CITY, Two o'CLocir.
During the past week the business transacted in
the varilus manufacturing districts has been of a
yery limited character. At Birmingham the iron
trade of South Staffordshire continues very dull,
and the prices offered by buyers are too low for
holders to accept. In the various fancy depart-
Ments there is little activity to report. The mar-
ket fur all descriptions of cloths continues
Very languid ; there have been few new
contracts entered into, and the depression
in prices exercised a prejudicial influence on all
descriptions of goods. A little improvement has
been manifested at Leeds for some descriptions of
goods, chiefly for those suitable for the autumn.
The various cloth halls were well attended, and for
the home trade there was a satisfactory demand.
Business at Halifax has been rather brisker, and
float kinds of piece goods obtain remunerative
Prices. At Bradford the transactions in piece
goods were by no means extensive, but there was a
satisfactory decrease in the number of the unem-
ployfid operatives, owing to orders having been
given out for exportation to the United States.
There:has been a slightimprovement at both Leices•
ter and Nottingham for most descriptions of laces
-and hosiery, and buyers have purchased to a mo-
derate extent. Stocks in the manufacturers hands
-are small, and, for shipping, the lower descriptions
of cotton hosiery are in good demand. At Sheffield
and Wolverhampton the various hardware trades
have been very quiet, the excitement attending the
Queen's visit to Birmingham having caused almost
an entire suspension of business.
Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton
Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all
,descriptions were fully supported. The sales
amounted to 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken
'by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters.
The Railway Share Market presented a quiet ap-
-pearance, but quotations tended slightly upwards.
There is no diminution in the general demand for
Money, the applications in Lombard street and at
,the Bank of England still being numerous. The
supply, however, being abundant, there is an ab-
sence of pressure, and it is thought that the in-
creased activity of the inquiry will not continue.

Upwards of half a million sterling in issue, chiefly
Australian, was bought last week for transmission
to the Coitinent. The exchange at Paris, however,
ill now rather firmer, and the remittances are likely
to be more confined to purchases of silver, which
metal is being sent to India in larger quantities than
for some months past. The influx of specie con-
tinues on a large scale, and there is some probs.-
-bility of a portion being sent into the Bank. The
ttrrivals announced to-day comprise the Cambria,
from Alexandria, with 60,480/. ; the Africa, from
-New York, with 20,0001. ; and the Medway, from
Victoria, with 38,372/.
Continued depression is visible in the English
Stock Market. It opened at Saturday's closing
rates, but there has since been increased weak-
:ness, and a decline of per cent. There is
tuo new cause to account for this retro-
grade movement, and the market appears to
IlUffer as much from the extreme paucity of busi-
beim as from anything else. Consols have been

Reduced 951, 2. The March Exchequer Bills are
3111. to 355. prem., ditto June 17s. to 225. prem.,

alteration in the rates. Venezuelan Deferred

In the Railway Share Market this morning there
has been a very limited business reported, and a
further downward tendency has prevailed in prices.

shire and Yorkshire, Midland, and North British,
