IiIONLY MARKET .BND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week have, in some instances, been
of a more favourable character. At Leeds a fair
amount of business has been done in woollen
cloths, a Ills the demand for piece goods at Brad-
ford has decidedly increased chiefly on French
account; and at Rochdale and Batley eaten-
sly° orders have been received for blankets for
America, and lace goods of all descriptions have
slightly advanced. At Manchester prices of both
cloths and yarns have been fully supported, but the
dealings have been limited to immediate home re-
quirements, with the exception of a few orders for
the Mediterranean and German markets. The
hosiery trade at Leicester and Nottingham have
continued active, and the operatives generally are
well employed. Business at Birmingham, Shef-
field, and Wolverhampton has also exhibited
symptoms of improvement consequent upon the
demand usually experienced just previous to the
close of the year..
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday the
demand was very quiet, and prices were unaltered.
The sales were 5,000 bales.

At the Bank of England on Saturday there were
no bullion operations of public importance.

terest at tho rate of 7 per cent, per annum.
Rather more business is reported in the general
discount market, and a slight increase has also
taken place in the number of inquiries at the Bank
of England, although the terms upon which the
Joint stock and private establishments are nego-
tiating
firtt.class piper continues to range from
toe per cent. below the official minimum of 3 per
cent. Trade generally remains in a quiescent state,
but in some departments of business greater anima-
tion now prevails, and this will partly account for
the augmented supply of commercial bills on offer,
"while the demand is also stimulated by the exten-
Stan of joint-stock enterprise, as scarcely a week
novc elapses without some addition being made to
the list of new companies established on the limited
liability principle.

Mercantile Marine Insurance Company, and it was

A SINGULAR STRANGER.—A copy of The Sun
newspaper of Sal urd y was received at this office on Monday
forenoon, and on hang opened, a common sized house fly
buzzed out from bet areen the inside folds. It speedily fell
Upon a pi: cc of paper lying on the desk, where it lay for a
few minutes, at the close of which it quite recovered, and
500 n after flew round the room, and speedily disappeared.
It had thus accomplished a journey of nearly 800 miles,
been suNeeed to tumbling, tossing, and pressing ; wheeled
in rattled in coaches, sailed on ferries, squeezed in
mail bags, and held in durance fast for nearly 42 hours!
How it has enjoyed its visit to these cold and dull regions,
after the beat and excitement of the Strand, we are unable
