TwzLvs O'CLOCK.

In the Discount Market to-day there has been a
very full demand, and the quotations remain par-
ticularly firm.
There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England on Saturday.
The Itaikoura has arrived from Wellington, New
Zealand, with 10,866 sovereigns ; the Palmyra, from
dew York, has brought £13,360 ; and the Syria,
from Alexandria, £3,991.
From
the manufacturing districts the reports of
the , l progress of business during the past week have
been unsatisfactory. At Afauchester extreme quiet-
ness has prevailed in the market for both cloths
and yarns, and most of the mills continue running
short time. The principal buyers for the Indian
markets have for the present almost suspended
eperations, and the enquiry for home demands has
been unimportant. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford,
and Rudders field:hasicontinued very in-
active, and the dealings have only been to sort up
Stocks for immediate demands. In the hosiery and
lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham there
has been a more cheerful tone, owing to a fair
enquiry for useful cotton goods, while in the
hardwarer districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and
_
olverharupton trade generally has been extremely
dull for the time of year. Merchants who have or-
d
ers in hand hold over such as are not very pressing.
In the iron trade there is little prospect of improve-
ment for some time to come, although a rather active
business has been done in spelter, and late prices
are well supported.
The general business of the port of London last
week was more animated at the Custom House.
243 vessels were—reported as having arrived from
foreign ports, and there were three from Ireland.
The
entries outwards comprised 112 vessels, and
those cleared with cargo 106, besides which 23 were
despatched in ballast. The departures for the
Australian colonies have been five vessels—viz., two
to Adelaide, one to Sydney, one to Moreton Bay,
and one to New Zealand, with an aggregate ton-
nage of 2,899.

In the Corn Market to-day business remained
very inactive, and sales could only be effected in
°ale-grown wheat at a decline of 2s. to 3s. per
quarter on previous rates. Foreign wheat also gave
'ftY to the extent of is. to 2s. per quarter.
tallll-t the Stock Exchange the markets are gene-
depressed, and there is no especial reason to
eannut for it beyond the extraordinary stagnation
lit business. Speculators and investors are loth to
1407 e, and the dealers, therefore, put down the
quotations. Consols are 891 I for transfer, a
decline of 4 per cent., and the account price re-
,,ains at 884 ex dividend. The New Threes and
-'deduced Annuities are dull, the former being
dealt in at 874 4. The English Stock List in other
r eBPects exhibits considerable dullness.
