MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The advices received this morning from the
'rations manufacturing districts represent that trade
generally is slowly recovering. At Leeds business
has been rather quiet, but there were symptoms of
improvement, particularly in heavy goods suitable
for the autumn. There bad been a good attendance
°f buyers in the various cloth balls, and they ope-
tilted to a fair extent, late rates having in all in-
stances being fully supported. At Huddersfield
!here hasbeen little change of importance, the manu-
facturers are well employed upon export orders, and
ter the home trade a good business has been done.
4t Bradford a fair inquiry has existed for worsted
wins, and for piece goods the home houses con-
ue to order goods to a limited extent for the
autumn trade. The demand for the American
markets has also improved, and upon the whole the
Itlattufacturers are actively engaged. At Manches-
ter an improved demand has been experienced for
the wider kinds of sbirtings, and also for print-
ing cloths for the Levant market?, and the pros-
,i)ects of the home trade are generally thought
'4° be exceedingly promising. A moderate amount
c't business has been done in yarns for both the
o
littleerman and Mediterranean markets. The iron
of South Staffordshire has exhibited very
change, and business has been remarkably
ret• There has been a very limited demand from
the Baited States, and most of the works are only
Partially employed. The fancy and general trades
" Birmingham are moderately active, and large
1111mberia are employed in the carriage manufactur-
leg departments for the various East Indian Rail-
lraY Companies. The lace trade at Nottingham
has exhibited symptomsOfimprovement. Purchases
° some extent have been made for the German
American markets, and upon the whole the
rule is healthy, and stocks light. The hosiery
tra•
de at Leicester continues flat for exportation,
but for home use there is a fair inquiry for the
'evler qualities of goods. In the hardware trades
Of Sheffield and Wolverhampton there has been
14MY little improvement. The orders from Amer-
laa are small, and prices generally are not sup-
-1111tted• A steady improvement, however, is ex-
,Zeted before long, particularly in goods suitable

the augmentation iu the bullion, but since

4 orders have been rent to Europe for
incise of foreign manufacture, and in settle-
Itieet of such operations, remittances from
1,1 "' York via London must be expected.
`ae steamers from that port have latterly brought
moderate supplies of the precious metal, and the
p"sia, reported to-day, has about 80,0001. A large
dePortation from Australis is shortly expected,
there can be no doubt that during the next
Ito or three months the aggregate receipts will be
e°nsiderable. A large portion may be diverted to
the continent,continent, but if so, it would not create sur-

et that some defect was discovered in her build
