2101V.E.F MARKET ND CITY NEW'S'.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
continue satisfactory, although in particular lo-
calities rather less activity lias been apparent.
The demand for heavy cloths at Leeds has been
steady ; in other descriptions no material change
has taken place, but the manufacturers generally
are well employed. An improved tone has been
apparent at Manchester, most descriptions of cloths
having advanced to -41; per yard, and a fair amount
of business has been transacted, chiefly for the
Indian, German, and Levant markets. The hosiery
trade of Leicester has been exceedingly brisk, and
numerous orders are on hand which cannot be corn-
-I)l9ted at present. At Nottingham in the lace
business there has been no material variation. At
Bdrmingbarn, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton con-
erable depression has been felt in the iron trade,
and but few foreign orders are on hand.
Increased firmness is reported in the Money
Market, owing.
to the active demand now experi-
enced. Very little accommodation can be obtained
under the. Bank of England minimum, and the
cansequence is that the applications at that estab-
lishment have increased, notwithstanding the fall-
ing off exhibited last week in the stock of "Other
Securities." Although the authorities may not be
compelled to adopt an immediate alteration is their
!arms of discount, it is evident that the tendency is
In. an upward direction, and that the bankers and
tall brokers are already charging higher quotations.

TILE CABMEN'S CLUB.

(From Punch.)
those
• Punch is exceedingly happy to find that
est le, ll'efol institutions, clubs for cabmen, are being
ot a_lished in various quarters of the town. Lord
l'oooaciftesbury states that they are productive of much
to quarry ' an that the cabmen, instead of going home
h., with their wives, come to the club, and
tfa_lutellectual conversation dissipate the hatred
colhave formed for mankind during the day's
teilet. Softened down, they are thus restored to
teettr. hoioes, and statistics show that since the
eyesing' up of these clubs the per tentage of black
fto, iani, Ong cabmen's wives has been reduced
eess— ' 111 6tol in 10. Mr. Punch wishes all sue-
-1 to the effort, and is much pleased with the by-
trs of the cabmen's clubs. He submits a few of
