CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The progress of business in the manufacturing
districts during the past week has been extremely
satisfactory; at Leeds there have been extensive
dealings in woollen cloths for the home trade, and
several large buyers have been in the market for
the United States and Canada. Most of the manu-
facturers are fully employed, and prices generally
have an improved tendency. At Manchester less
activity has prevailed, owing to the advices by the
overland mail. India goods, however, maintain
their previous values, and in yarns there has been a
rather active inquiry for the various German mar-
kets. For the home demand a fair amount of busi-
ness has been done, at fully late values. Wools and
yarns at Bradford have been at advanced quotations,
and some inquiry has been experienced for piece
goods. At Halifax spinners are well occupied, and
piece goods show a decided improvement. The
hosiery trade at Leicester continues brisk in all its
branches, but the transactions in lace at Notting-
ham are limited. A considerable improvement has
taken place in the general state of trade in South
Staffordshire. There has been a better demand for
iron, and at Birmingham most of the staple trades
of the town show a decided amelioration. At
Sheffield and Wolverhampton the home demand
has been inactive, but orders for the United States
have been received which have given fair employ-
ment to most of the operatives.
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
quietly, but prices were well supported. The sales
were estimated at 7,ooabales.
There is no alteration in the condition of the
Money Market, and the commercial community
are enabled to supply their wants on exceedingly
easy terms. The best bills, home and foreign, are
negotiated at 21 per cent.—the Bank minimum—
and in some cases accommodation is granted d per
cent. below that quotation.
About £.52,000 in gold was taken from the Bank
on Saturday for exportation. Several arrivals are
likely to take place during the next few weeks,
which will tend to satisfy the requirements of the
bullion dealers, although they may not prevent

occasional withdrawals from the national establish•

went. Remittances amounting to £366,080 have
been announced, viz., £282,000 by the Lincolnshire
from Victoria, and £84,080 by the Arabia from

America.

A company has been formed for the purchase of
the extensive brick and cement works of the
late Mr. Thomas Cubitt, on the Medway. It
,is expected to prove a profitable investment.
The company is limited, with a capital of £lOO,OOO,

In 20,000 shares of £5 each, 10s. per share being
Paid on application. •
A dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. is proposed
by the directors of the English, Scottish, and Aus-
tralian Chartered Bank.
The English Stock Market opened this morning '
with an improved appearance, owing to a rise in
the Paris "Bourse, but the transactions both real
and speculative were limited. Consols have been
