AIONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

- :r -~-

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The progress of business during the past week
in the manufacturing districts has continued un-
f vourable, the advices from America having almost
suspended operations for those markets. At Leeds
the dealings have been chiefly for immediate home
requirements, while little or no improvement can
be recorded at Bradford, Manchester, and Hudders-
field. The hosiery trade at Leicester has continued
dull, and no change of importance has taken place
in the general aspect of operations in the hardware
manufacturing districts.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday
great excitement prevailed, and prices slightly ad-
vanced. The sales were fully 20,000 bales, but
many stocks were withdrawn owing to the Ameri-
can news.
The traffic receipts of the Great Eastern Rail-
way of Canada for the week ending the 19th ult.
exhibited an increase of £829, compared with last
year.

About £2,000 in Australian gold was sent into
the Bank of England on Saturday.
The Southampton has been announced this
morning from Australia with £86,000 in specie.
A call of £2 per share, amounting to £120,000,
becomes due to-morrow on the Recife and San
Prancisco Railway shares.

The bills which arrived at maturity on Saturday
the 4th of the month were met in a satisfactory
Manner, no failures of importance being recorded,
and the money market now presents a relieved
appearance, although a •moderate business is still
negotiated at 5 per cent. for the best commercial
securities. An easier feeling, nevertheless, pre-
vails, in consequence of the abundance of money,
the influx into the 13 tnk of a part of the recent
supplies of Australian gold, and the impression that
further failures among the Greeks will be prevented.
Then has been a very quiet market for Public
Securities to-day, and the quotations do not exhibit
any variations, Consols being 911 q for money and
the 9th instant, and 92 to 921 for the account
in June. The intelligence from America is still
exercising an important effect upon the tendency of
values. The New Threes and the Reduced are
steady at 90-1- ; Bank Stock at 232 ; India ditto
223 k 225; ditto 5 per Cents. 1011 2; and Exche-
qur are heavy at 7s. to 22. dis.
Rather more business is recorded in the Foreign
Stock Market, and prices have been tolerably
steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 74 to 72;
_ditto
1858, 561- to 57; Mexican are flat at 23 g ; Sianish
are firm at 422 ; ditto Deferred at 42.7-, ; Portu-
guese at 471; and Russian at 102 ; Sardinian are
heavy at 801; Venezuelan 3 per Cents. at 191 1;
and ditto 1i per Cents, at 91.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been on a rather restricted scale, and in most in-
stances prices have shown a droopibg tendency.
Great Western, Brighton, North Western, Man-
chester, Sheffield and Lincoln, Midland, North
Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern have de-
clined ss. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
West Midlands, 10s. ; Eastern Counties have im-
proved ss,

In the Foreign Market the chief feature has been
a further advance of to 4 per cent. in South
Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, the latest quota-
tions being 14-} -Z.
The Colonial lines have remained in fair request
'without any material change in values.
