CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
are of a highly satisfactory character. The estab-
lishment of peace between France and Austria has
given a decided impulse to trade, and in all branches
increased activity has been experienced. At
Leeds a large business has been done in woollen
cloths, for both home use and for exportation
to the various German markets. Woollen and
Worsted yarns at Bradford have been in demand,
and in piece goods the transactions have been nume-
rous:-at :slightly advanced quotations. The inqui-
ries for India goods at Manchester have been to a
fair extent, and a decided improvement has taken
place in the demand for this country as well as for
the Continent. The hosiery trade of Leicester
continues exceedingly active, some large orders
having been given out by American houses, and
the operatives generally are fully employed. The
iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown symp-
toms of improvement, and at Birmingham greater
animation' has also prevailed.
Discount business continues very quiet, owing to
the limited requirements of the mercantile com-
munity and the absence of speculative activity. A
moderate amount of money has to be provided for
railway calls and other purposes during the next
fortnight; but while the market is so abundantly
supplied these arrangements produce no effect, and
the terms of accommodation remain without the
Slightest change.
A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. will be pro-
posed at the meeting of the National Discount
Company this week.
The steamer Columbian, with the Sydney mails
,of May 14th, and Melbourne 17th, arrived at Aden
On the 11th inst., the detention being caused by
damage to machinery. The steamer was telegraphed
to Suez, and from Suez to Marseilles by the ordi-
nary post. The mails may be expected in London
on the 27th or 28th inst.
Itt. the market for Public Securities- to-day a
limited amount of business has been transacted, but
owing to the anxiety felt to ascertain the content s
of the Budget, the 'quotations have been rather flat.
The movement, however, has not been very im-
portant, and the transactions, both real and specu-
lative, have been limited. Consols have been 958
for money, and 951 t, for the account, and
they now appear steady at those quotations.
The New Threes are flat, at 951 and the Reduced
at 95 ; the New 21 per Cents, are steady, at 79k ;
India Loan Debentures, at 954 ; ditto Scrip, at 758
3. ; ditto Stock, at 220 and 224; and Exchequer
Bills, at 275, to 30s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the 'transactions have not
been extensive, and prices have rather tended
downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 81
to 83 ; and the New Loan, 69 to 71 ; Spanish 3 per
Cents, are marked 44 to 441 ; ditto Deferred, 321 a ;
and the Passive, to 101 ; Sardinian have been dealt
in at 86 to 87 ; Russian 5 per Cents, at 112 ; and
Mexican at 191
A very limited amount of business has been
transacted in the Railway Share Market to-day,
and a slight downward movement has taken place
in prices. Eastern Counties and Brighton have
receded ss. ; Caledonian, Great Western, North-
Western, North Eastern, York and South-Eastern,
10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s. ; and North-
Eastern (Berwick), £l.
The foreign lines have been a shade firmer.
Lotnbardo-Venetian old shares brought 104
109,
and the new 104 loi ; Dutch Rhenish are at 91;
and Great Luxemburg 68 68.
The Colonial lines show little variation. East
Indian, Grand Trunk of Canada, and Great Western
of Canada were at previous rates. Great Indian
Peninsula have improved ss. to 10s.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
show little variation in values. Provincial of
Ireland have improved lOs, ; Peninsular and
Oriental Steam, 10s. ; and Red Sea Telegraph have
declined ss.
