CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
tilDuring the past week the progress of trade in
e manufacturing districts has been satisfactory ;
lesome instances, however, there has been rather
h.ts activity. At Leeds, a fair amount of business
48 been reported in woollon cloths, and the
general prospects of the market' are considered
Prv°llrable* Business at Manchester has im-
eyed, particularly in India goods, owing to
se advices by the late Bombay mail. For home
tithe there has been a brisker inquiry, and the opera-
es in some instances have obtained an advance
h• Wages. A. great business has been recorded in
friliellee goods at Bradford, but yarns and wools have
tra suPPerted previous rates. The lace and hosiery
tr des
at
Placeverlitt:ottingham and Leicester continue ex-
rereelY active, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and
pton a decided improvement has taken
i in the general stock business.
ba 11. the Liverpool cotton market on Saturday
s 'nese was rather active, and 10,000 bales were
clod at
extreme rates. The Railway share market
rl steadily, and prices were well supported.
Mark-lane business is dull, and inferior wheat,
Pe eth English and Foreign, has declined ls. to 2s.
,raliarter, compared with previous values.
jae arrivals of specie this morning include
i9i°4"L;457 bby y the City of Manchester, and X 50,00000
e Arabia, both from America.
L,4,811111 of £60,000 was taken into the Bank of
pted on Saturday.
the
that the bills due on Saturday, the 3d
" month, were met with the usual promptitude,
and
les the effect of the necessary arrangements was much
th 8 extensive than might have been expected from
to thefluence produced by the large subscriptions
tba: new Indian and Russian loans. Whenever
det, demand is stimulated a slight upward ten-
ar'eY is anticipated, because the terms of discount
affe unusually low, and the market is easily
kee%ted by the least increase of activity. Although
ti,.(l4‘47ttnee is still considered probable during the
ira-l• few months, it is questioned whether any
Mediate change will occur in the official terms
ofdiseeunt.
Notwithstandingst the continued quietude of the
• t:ek 4change market, the funds are well main-
pr-aecl, and railway shares are also dealt in at fully
n "jells quotations. At the present moment, the
,quida.tion of the Consol account is the chief busi-
ness attended to by the members, although the dif-
a7,,enees to be adjusted were made in consequence
ie diminished speculation, and the absence of
:90rtant fluctuation. The Funds continue firm,
additional support being afforded by the improving
buyers
of the Bourse. Consols have been 95-2-,
fia37ers, since then 951 it for money and account.

oPtien of the investments effected by the
thlverntnent broker for the Savings Banks,
The Money transactions continue limited.
sn ?.Bettlement in the new Indian Scrip has made
agtlsfaetory progress, but a rise has taken place
owing to the limited supply of the security offered
the market. It closed on Saturday at 981 99,
but
it i 8 now very buoyant at 991 100, or 21 to 3

for the
likewill,g of another large examining floor. Provision is
boild, we understand, to be made for the construction of
