The progress of business in the manufacturing
districts during the past week has been very in-
active, and little improvement can be reported. At
Manchester cloths and yarns have barely maintained
former prices, although manufacturers and spinners
do not press sales. In the woollen districts of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield only a moderate in-
quiry has prevailed for goods suitable for immediate
home requirements. The hosiery and lace depart-
ments of Leicester and Nottingham have remained
without change of importance, while at Bir►ning-
ham dullness has been the prevailing feature in most
departments. The iron trade of Wolverhampton
and its immediate neighbourhood, however, has
shown symptoms of improvement, and the opera-
tives generally are now well employed.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have declined 1, to 29 31, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bondi 1, to 231 241.

The Marequeta and New Granada Mining Com-
pany (Limited) have received advices, of which the
following is an abstract :—" Santa Anna Mines for
the month of December. Amount of ore produced
for amalgamation, 50 tons. No profit and loss ac-
count receive]. The Superintendent writes under
date January 22, 1867 :—Mines. I despatch by
the present mail an -average sample of the lode on
the 120 stopes. I also send you some specimens
from the veins in the lode. The vein of red silver
ore is on the eastern wall, and appeared first in the
back stopes south. It has widened considerably, and
appears now in No. 1 slope north, nearly a foot in
width. The stones of grey silver and pyrites ars also
from the eastern wall of stope No. 2. These veins
would seem to confirm the general opinion that silver
lodes increase in richness in depth. The new skips
are now working well. Marmato mines for the
month of December, 1866, cost $9,400; returns,
$10,567. Less gold was produced during this month,
owing to the mineral having been of poorer quality,
and the Christmas holidays and the shortness of
Water during repairs to San Josye Acequia. The
chief mechanic writes, under date 12th January,
1867, Aquas Claras.—" The barrel machinery is
very nearly ready. I sincerely hope that we shall
be able to begin to reduce mineral before this time
next month."
