4101VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

During the past week business in the manufac-
turing districts has continued exceedingly dull.
The transactions in the cloth halls at Leeds have
been confined to immediate home requirements, at
about previous prices. At Manchester continued
depression has prevailed in all departments, and
both yarns and cloths have advanced in value. The
hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham
have exhibited little improvement, and in the vari-
ous hardware districts—viz., Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton—no change of importance is
reported.

There was less excitement in the Liverpool cot-
ton market on Saturday; best prices were firm.
The sales were 15,000 bales.
Notice has been given that the third coupon of
the shares of the Cam aux Coal Mines and Railway,
viz., 9f. 75c. will be paid on the Ist proximo.

At the Bank of England on Saturday there were
no bullion operations of public importance.
The Persia, for New York conveyed £60,280 in

specie.

There is still an extreme degree of easiness in
the general discount market; and if monetary
affairs in France, instead of being in a state of
embarrassment, exhibited a favourable tendency,
the possibility of an immediate reduction in the
minimum of the Bank of England to 3 per cent.
would, no doubt, be the principal topic of conver-
sation in mercantile circles, as well as at the Stock
Exchange. The uncertain progress of events in
Paris, and the possibility of the financial crisis
there increasing in intensity, dictate a cautious
policy on the part of the authorities here; and
thus, while the commercial community are enabled
to get their best bills negotiated in the open market
as low as 2a per cent., owing to the prevailing
abundance of money, 3i per cent. is asked for
similar accommodation at the national establish-
ment.

The transactions in the market for Public Secu-
rities have not been very numerous to-day,
speculation being quiet, while the dealings for
regular transfer are also circumscribed. A rise
of * per cent., however, took place owing to
several purchases, but at the last moment there
is rather less buoyancy, Consols, however, are 93
for transfer, and 938 1 for the 7th prox. The New
Threes are steady at 918 ; the,.Reduced at 911 e ;
Exchequer Bills, March, are ss. prem. ; ditto, June,
12s. to 13s. prem. ; India 5 per Cent. is firm at 104 k
and 1051 ; but the New Loan Scrip is flat at 105 ;
and the Bonds at 14s. prem.
The dealings in the Foreign Market have been
very restricted, and prices in some instances tend
downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 804 ; ditto,
1858, 681 ; Mexican are flat at 26} ; and Brazilian
5 per Cents., at 1001 ; but the 4f, per Cents. are
firm at 911 921 ; and Sardinian, at 82 ; Equador
remain at 154.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather inactive, and prices have shown less firm-
ness. Caledonians have declined*, Eastern Coun-
ties, Great Westerns, North Westerns, Midlands,
and South Easterns ss.

has been little variation. Great Luxembourg were
steady at 9a t ; Recife and San Francisco at 154.

declined to 99i, 991 ; and Grand Trunk of Canada
to 191, 20.
