ITY HEWS.

CITY, T'wo OV:LOCK.
, The accounts received from the manufacturing
aistriets represent that, during the pa' st week,
state
has been little improvement in th e general
t
of trade. At Leeds the demand for woollen
Dods has been very inactive, and the to an of the
Market is decidedly flat. Su;nmer fabrics, how-
ever, were dealt in to a fair ci:tent in the ware-
houses, The manfacturers ger. terally were well
employed upon export orders, and there had
been some inquiry for the Germa n markets. The
Wool market at Bradford has ibeen exceedingly
quiet, and there is nothing new to notice in worsted
VIIB- Spinners were well employred, chiefly for
erne consumption. In piece goods a moderate
business has been done, although new orders are
11(4 very readily given out. Business at Man-
chester has been rather dull, particularly in India
,Itrticics, owing to the late unravourable ad-
'ices by the overland mail, buyers having

"r the various German markets there was little in-
quiry as prices were too high to lI Hord a profit
11Pco transactions in those markets. The demand
for Worsted hosiery at Leicester has been exceed-
ingbr dull. Cotton goods, however, continued in
°od demand at full rates, and the lace trade of
Nottingham has also shown symptoms of improve-
tki°ent. In South Staffordshire the iron trade con-
4,alles steady, as most of the large manufacturers

and '
Prices remain firm. in Birmingham the dis-
turbed state of political affairs on the continent has,
o; Some measure, interfered with the general trade
the town. Machinists and boiler-makers, how-
'er, have fair orders on hand, and for home use
there
}t had been a moderate demand for most of the
LaPles of the district. A t Sheffield and Wolver-
'44lpton business continued very inactive, and the
t'lleral aspect of trade wits exceedingly quiet.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday
``csed with a very dull appearance ; and 8,000 bales
/ere sold at about previou s values. In the Rail-
WV Share Market rather more animation was
411 Parent, and prices tended upwards.
Notwithstanding the checl z. given to commercial
_enterprise by the political co: nplications abroad, the
recovery in trade is still ma king progress, and as
it
tlceisssary consequence the demand for money is
oe easionally stimulated. Du ring the last few days
the supply of mercantile billls has increased, but
the resources of the market tyre too abundant to

ftZ4. of £1,000,000 had been disposed of on
t„Carable terms. It appear(' d that the state of the
tiotc:i'y was very satisfactory. After some discus-
the report was adopted.
