WILLS AND DOMICILE OF BRITISH SUBJECTS
ABROAD, &c., BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL in moving that the
house go into committee on this bill said that the object of
the measure was to settle the law of domicile, which was
at present in a very unsatisfactory condition. It was pro-
posed by this bill that no British subject should be consi-
dered a domiciled subject in a foreign country unless he had
been resident there twelve months, and he had so signified
his intention of becom•.ng a resident in that country.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

There has been very little change of import-
ance in the general progress of trade in the
manufacturing districts. At Leeds, Bradford,
Halifax, and Huddersfield a fair amount of business
has been done in seasonable goods for home use.
At Manchester the high price of cotton has caused
a corresponding advance in the value of cloths;
the chief dealings, however, have been for the home
markets. In the hosiery and lace trades at Leicester
and Nottingham no material alteration can be re-
ported, although symptoms of improvement have
been apparent. The operations in the hardware
districts have been circumscribed, and at Birming-
ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, and the im-
mediate neighbourhood, no change of importance
can be reported.

A fair amount of business was transacted in the
Liverpool cotton market on Saturday, and prices
were firm. The sales were about 12,000 bales.

A call of £lO per share, amounting to £26,790,
becomes due on the Ist proximo on the Danube
and Black Sea Railway Shares.

The Tasmanian has been announced this morn-
ing from the West Indies with £245,394, chiefly in
silver.

Very little change has taken place in the condi-
tion of the Money Market during the past few
days, but a slight increase is now perceptible in the
general inquiry, and towards the end of the week
greater animation is likely to be experienced owing
to the payments of the 4th of the month, and the im-
pending settlement at the Stock Exchange. The
current terms for the best bills, however, still range
1 to 4 per cent., and the supply of money continued
plentiful.
There has been very little activity in the Eng-
lish Stock market to-day, but the quotations are
well maintained, Consols being 90 901 for money
and the account. Speculation is inactive, and the
operations for transfer are too limited to create
activity. The New Threes and the Reduced are
firmer at 8 93-, 90. Bank Stock is at 230; India
ditto at 221; ditto 5 per Cent.,99l ; and Exche-
quer Bills, March, are steady at 12s. to 7s. dis.
In the Foreign Market only a small amount of
business has been transacted, and prices, in some
instances, show less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents.
are 781 a ; ditto, 1858, 67 1 ; ditto 4 per Cents.
are steady at 104; and Venezuelan 1 per Cents.
at 9 ; Mexican have receded to 22f ; and Portu-
guese to 461 I.
The operations in the Railway Share Market
have been to a fair extent, but the variations have
not been of a very extensive character. Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and Brightons have declined ss.
Midlands, North British, and South-Eastern im-
proved ss. ; North-Eastern (York), 10s. ; and
North-Eastern (Berwick), £l.

The Foreign and Colonial lines are in moderate
favour. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian
have improved to 16, and Dutch Rhenish were
steady at 131. East Indian have declined to 988,
Great Indian Peninsula to 95, Grand Trunk of
Canada to 181, and Great Western of Canada, to
10.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
remained at about former prices. Bank of Egypt
realise 201, 3 ; London and Westminster, 681 ;
Union of Australia, 371; Crystal Palace, 311;
and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 70.
