MONEY MARKET AND CITY ZrETTTS.

CITY, Two o'CLocii.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
during the past week have been of a more satisfac-
tory character. The dealings in cloths at Manches-
ter have been to a fair extent, chiefly, however, for
home use. The woollen trade at Leeds, Halifax,
Huddersfield, and Bradford has shown symptoms
of improvement, and a tolerable amount of business
has been done in worsted hosiery at Leicester. In
the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Shef-
field, and Wolverhampton, trade generally has
remained very quiet in all departments.
Continued activity prevailed in the the Liverpool
Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were very
firm. The sales were fully 15,000 bales.
A further supply of gold, viz., £119,000, was sent
into the Bank of England on Saturday.
At the forthcoming meeting of the English,
Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank proprie-
tors,
a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. for the
half-year will be proposed.
The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Austra-
lasia will take place on the 19th proximo.
There is very little inquiry for discount accom-
modation, either in commercial circles or at the
Stock Exchange, and accommodation is obtainable
°tl lower terms than for some time past.
Trade being exceedingly dull, the demand
for money on mercantile account is pro-
portionately restricted, and although symptoms
of improvement arc perceptible in certain depart-
ments of business, some time is expected to elapse
before any great expansion can be experienced.
111 the meantime, the money market is likely to
48811ine an easier appearance, if the specie move-
ment should improve and the weather continue
favourable for the growing crops.
The Agincourt has arrived from Melbourne with
about £BO,OOO in gold.

A recovery, amounting to per cent. has taken
Pace in the Market for Public Securities to-day,
°Wing to several purchases, mostly on speculative
account. Consols have improved to 89t 4 for
