410NEY MARKET AND CUT .NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts dur-
ing the past week are of a more satisfactory character.
At Leeds there has been more inquiry for spring
gs-m)ds, and at Halifax, Bradford, and Huddersfield
operations for the home demand have been on the
increase. Business at Manchester in both yarns
and cloths have been in some measure restricted
by the advance in the values of cotton at Liverpool.
At Leicester there has been a fair amount of busi-
ness in both :woollen and cotton: hosiery, and' the
lace trade of Nottingham has been moderately
active. In the hardware districts there is little
variation to notice. At Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton, orders from the various pro-
vincial markets have been sufficient to give steady
employment to most of the operatives.
The supply of commercial bills on offer in the
General Discount Market continues very moderate,
nor is it likely to increase wEile commercial opera-
tions are conducted on their present limited scale,
and the consequence is that the prevailingabundance
of capital keeps down the quotations within a fraction
of the minimum of the Bank of England. Rather
more firmness has lately been manifested by the
banks and private firms owing to an impression that
a restrictive effect may be produced by the situation
of monetary affairs in France, but first class bills
are yet negotiable at 3d per cent., and in excep-
tional cases even on rather easier terms. In the
Stock Exchange there is a plentiful supply of
money, which enables holders of pablic securities to
obtain loans on unusually favourable terms.
About £9,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of
England on Saturday. •

The Lincolnshire has arrived this morning from
Australia, with £207,112; and the Atrato, from
the West Indies, with £185,679.
The Africa, for New York, took £3,000 in gold.

The traffic receipts of the Northern of France
Railway from the Ist of January to the 30th ult.
amounted to £1,786,590, being an increase of
£62,406 compared with the corresponding period of
last year, and on the Paris and Orleans Railway, the
returns for a like period were £2,106,712, or
£166,568 more than in 1860.

A fair amount of business was reported in the
Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices
tended upwards. The sales were 15,000 bales.
Increased depression has prevailed in the market
for Public Securities to-day, owing to a continuance
of speculative sales, which have caused a further
decline of k per cent., Consols having receded to
921 i for transfer ; and to 92-1 t for the account.
The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 901 I ;
Bank Stock is at 232 ; Exchequer Bills, March, re-
main at par to 3s. prem. ; ditto June, 6s. to 9s.
prem. ; India 5 per Cent. Scrip has improved to
103,1. 104.

In the Foreign Market the dealings have been
of a rather limited character, and prices tended
downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80f 81 ;
ditto, 1858, 681 t; Mexican have receded to 251 ;
Portuguese to 47 ; Dutch 49 per Cents, to 999 ;
Russian are 1001 ; and ditto 4f per Cents., 92 ;
Brazilian 41 per Cents., 911.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a very limited scale, and little variation of
importance has taken place in values. Caledonian,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North British im-
proved 55.; and Great Northern, £1; Eastern
Counties, Midland, and South-Easterns declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings expe-
rience no change of importance. South Austrian
and Lombardo-Venetian, Grand Trunk of Canada,
and Great Indian Peninsula receded about ss.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continued dull, and prices, generally, were unal-
tered. British American Land brought 53, and
Peninsular and Oriental Steam 68.
