MOIVEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Accounts received from the manufacturing dis-
tricts this morning mention that during the past
week there has been little change of importance in
the principal departments of business. At Man-
chester, however, prices for both cloths and yarns
have given way to a slight extent. The woollen
trade at Leeds has continued moderately active,
chiefly, however, on goods for home use.
At Leicester there has been more animation in the
hosiery trade; and in the hardware districts, par-
ticularly in the neighbourhood of Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a steady business
has been transacted in goods suitable to the home
markets.

Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool
Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were a shade
higher. The sales were 15,000 bales.
The influx of gold into the. Bank of England
continues on an extensive scale, £120,000 having
been taken there on Saturday.
The Orwell has arrived this morning from
Australia with £155,000 in gold.
The half-yearly interest on Peruvian 3 per
Cent. Bonds has been announced for payment on
and after the Ist proximo. _ _

There is still an abundance of money, and the
rates, although exhibiting no material variation,
continue to present a downward tend( ney. Bankers
and others being anxious to employ the vast means
at their disposal, are freely negotiating good com-
mercial bills as low as 3i per cent., and in some
cases business is negotiated at a fraction under that
quotation. The result is that very few enquiries
are made at the Bank of England, and a reduction
in the official minimum is considered imminent.

The market for English Securities opened with a
heavy appearance, owing to sales for transfer, which
caused a decline of per cent. Purchases, however,
have since taken place which have created a firmer
tone. Consols, after being 931 for money, and
931 t- for account, are now 93/ ) and 93t respec-
tively. The New Threes are fiat at 911 ); the
Reduced, at 911 I;`Exchequer Bills, March, are 2s.

An average amount of business has taken place
in the Foreign Market, and Mexican stock has
experienced a further rise of / per cent, namely, to
231. Turkish 6 per Cents. are firm at 821 to 83;
ditto 1858, 681 ; Peruvian have improved to 981 ;
ditto 3 per Cents. to 80/ 81 ; and Spanish Deferred
to 428 ; Venezuelan 3 per Cents. have been dealt in
at 191 ; and the 11 per Cents. at 101 ; the New 5
per Cent. Italian Loan is firm at 701.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been very limited, and prices, in most instances,
have slightly declined. Great Westerns have re-
ceded 55.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, ss. ; North
Eastern (Berwick), ss. ; Midlands, 10s. ; and Cale-
donians, 15s. ; South Easterns, howe-fer, improved

cisco it, and Grand Trunk of Canada /, and Great

Indian Peninsula, and Eastern Bengal, brought

-HAE ST-110 M E S.—Several gatherings of this
•• --- -
kind have been held in the last few days
in
the
ri s countyhi n t the
Worcester. At Hanley Castle, a beautiful
neighbourhood of Malvern, Sir E. Lechmere, aplarg shaded
proprietor in the parish, assisted by the farmers of the dis-
trict, held a harvest-home on Friday. The farmers,
spla-
bourers, and their families attended Divine service at the
parish church in the morning, and afterwards di
toge-
ther, men and masters, in a large tent. After dinner a few
speeches were made, and the rest of the evening wasned ent
in rural sports and other pastimes. At Elmley Castle, a
similar gathering was held, and at Rushock, on Wednes-
day, there was a harvest-home or labourer's tea-party, in
ieu of the annual " mop" or statute fair, which efforts are
being made to abolish. A registration society has been es-
tablished for the purpose of facilitating the hiring of ser-
vants and putting a stop to the annual scenes of license and
debauchery that take place at the mops" or statute fairs.
The labourers were addressed by the curate of the parish,
the Rev. Mr. Watts, and after tea a dance was sti uck up,
the parties enjoying themselves to their hearts' content
until nightfall.
