MONEY MARKET AND CM' E

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 tranbacted 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 bale&.

The influx of gold into the Blink 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 tendency. Bankers
and others being anxious to employ the vast means
at their disposal, are freely negotiating good com-
mercial bills as low as 31 per cent., and in some
cases business is negotiated at a fraction under that
quotation. The result is that very Jew 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
oaused a decline of 1 per cent. Purchases, however,
have since taken place which have created a firmer
tone. Consols, after being 93f 4 for money, and
931 2- for account, are now 931 s and 931 respec-
tively. The New Threes are flat at 911 ; the
Reduced, at 911 t'Exchequer Bills, March, are 2s.

234 Turkish 6 per Cents. are firm at 821 to 83 ;
