NONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocE.

During the past week the accounts from the
manufacturing districts have again been of an
unsatisfactory character, partly owing to the pro-
gress of political events in America. At Man-
chester the dealings had been limited, and confined
almost exclusively to home requirements. The
woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield
has continued inactive, but a fair amount of business
has been done in the hosiery trade, at Leicester,
liinekley, and Nottingham. In the various hard-
Ware districts there is little change of importance
to record, the principal dealings having been for
home demand, in connection with harvest work.
A few orders, however, have been received at Bir-
Illingham and Sheffield from Canada and Germany.
A considerable amount of business was recorded
in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and
Prices were steady. The sales were about 8,000
bales.

About £16,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England on Saturday.
The Sultan, from Lisbon, has arrived with about
£2,800 in specie.
; Although there is very little alteration to notice
4 the general condition of the Money Market, the
Inquiries have slightly increased, which is attributed
° the expenditure in the agricultural districts
e,Wing to the operations connected with the harvest.

44 rates, moreover, are rather firmer, but no
actual change has yet occurred, and the best bills
are still negotiable as low as 4a per cent. In con-
sequence of the continuous influx of gold into the
Bank of England and the favourable accounts of
1,74 crops, there is still a confident expectation that
`tiereased easiness will speedily prevail.
The Market for Public Securities has been ex-
ceedingly dull to-day, and the attendance of the
nienibers is very limited. Consols for money are
